SMOKING .. 

Most of the people try their first smoke at teen life under the influence of their close friends or may b in a urge of trying something new.

Initially they do not feel  good because they feel Dizziness ,Headaches ,Coughing or Vomit sometimes.

But as they keep trying their body becomes susceptible towards it and it becomes a fashion for them to be in a group or gang, impress girls and other stuff.

You think this is cool huh!! Let us know more about it.

Smoking affects our body in three different ways :

NICOTINE

SMOKE

HEAT

NICOTINE reduces stress and anxiety, improves concentration and memory levels and help losing weight.

Depending upon the dose it works as a miracle relax the person and arouse a depressed one.

But consequence are not what you think, a day you wake up discover yourself to be very irritable , lots of anger, loss of sound sleep , headaches and restlessness. To suppress these you again go for one Bidi.

EFFECTS OF NICOTINE :

• At initial stage it enters your blood vessels.
• Constrict the blood vessels resulting in less flow of blood in organs and tissues.
• Paralyze CILIA ( small hair like structures) which help in passage of air.
• Produces unwanted or pathological changes in vital organs.
• Causes mood swings.
• Due to constriction of blood vessels it causes the shortage of blood supply in Brain which causes STROKES.
• Causes ANGINA or HEART ATTACKS.
• It also effects muscles, in critical cases causes Gangrene in muscles which generally gets infected.
• Blockage of blood vessels causes IMPOTENCE in Men.

EFFECTS OF SMOKE :

Smoke is a complicated mixture of several gases and chemicals which directly your body without any delay.

• It has CARBON MONO OXIDE which immediately effects our blood as it compete with  OXYGEN to bind with hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has more affinity towards Carbon Mono Oxide as a result  it causes shortage of Oxygen due to its binding capacity.
• The blood vessels are already constricted because of Nicotine and shortage of oxygen in our body.. now i hope you can imagine what will happen next!!??
• Now restriction of Oxygen to the vital organs such as heart causes Coronary Heart Disease or HEART ATTACK.
• This can also result in ASTHMATIC ATTACKS because the victim has to put more efforts in breathing.
• TAR is the substance condensed in lungs which is like a very thick shake or thick sludge deposited in lungs due to smoking. TAR is very rich in CANCER PRODUCING AGENTS known as Carcinogens ( Poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons , Nitrosamines etc. )

EFFECTS OF HEAT :

The temperature of cigarette smoke  is about 10 times the temperature of boiling water.

People knowingly expose them self again and again which can lead to chances of Cancer.

SYSTEMATIC DIAGRAM OF HEALTHY LUNG :

BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMA OR LUNG CANCER

This is commonly use for Cancer of Lung which include carcinoma arising from the respiratory epithelium lining of the bronchi, bronchioles and alvoli.

Lung cancer is most common primary malignant tumors in men and account for 30% of all death due to cancer.

Data from  INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER estimated that worldwide by the year 2030 there would be about 10 million death per year from lung cancer.  

Bronchogenic carcinoma tends to form an intraluminal mass which may partially or completely obstruct the bronchus. The neoplasm also may compress or invade local structures such as aorta, esophagus, superior vena cava or cervical sympathetic chain

What Causes Bronchogenic Carcinoma?

Cigarette smoking is the principal cause of bronchogenic carcinoma. 

• 80% lung cancer occurs in active smokers due to Tobacco Smoking.
• An average  regular smoker has 10 times greater risk of developing lung cancer than non smoker.
• The risk of smokers more than 2 packs i.e. 40 cigarette per day for 20 years is 60 - 70 times greater than non smokers.
• Pipe and Cigar smokers have higher risk than non smokers. 

Other causes

Atmospheric pollution

Occupational causes

Dietary factors

Chronic scarring.

Symptoms usually associated with Bronchogenic Carcinoma include:

atelectasis

chest pain

persistent cough

diminished breathing sounds

dyspnea 

fatigue

fever 

Hemoptysis

loss of appetite

neoplasm

recurrent malignant serosanguineous pleural effusions

streaks of blood in the sputum

unexplained weight-loss

weakness  

wheezing.
