How To Protect Your Kids From Secondhand Smoke

Nicotine Content in the Toe Nail , A predictor for Heart Disease

 
 
 
 
Nicotine content in toenails- a predictor

LONDON: Kind attention, smokers! Want to know whether you at risk of developing heart disease? Go and get the nicotine content in your toenail clippings measured at a clinical laboratory, suggests a new study.

 

An international team has carried out the study on more than 60,000 female nurses and found double the level of nicotine in those with heart disease than those without the cardiovascular condition.

According to researchers, it is well established that smokers have a higher risk of heart disease and this test will help to predict the chance.

Study leader Dr Wael Al-Delaimy said because toenails grow slowly -- at a rate of around one cm a year -- they may offer a longer-term estimate of a person's total exposure to tobacco smoke.

"The use of toenail nicotine is a novel way to objectively measure exposure to tobacco smoke and could become a useful test to identify high-risk individuals in the future," the 'BBC News' portal quoted him as saying.

In their study, the researchers found over the period of the research, 900 women were diagnosed with heart disease.

The women in the top fifth for toenail nicotine content were thinner, less active, heavier drinkers, and more likely to have high blood pressure or diabetes, as well as a family history of heart attack, compared to those with less nicotine in their toenails, the researchers found.

After taking other risk factors into account, they estimated that those with the top fifth levels of nicotine had almost four times the risk of heart disease than those in the bottom fifth.

But, isn't it better to quit smoking?

Tabaco Killing 4 million people every year.



Tobacco killing 4 m people every year

Hyderabad, May 31: Tobacco is the world's leading killer. The total number of tobacco users in the world has been estimated at 1.2 billion, which is expected to rise to 1.6 billion by 2020s.

According World Health Oraganisation (WHO)' recent estimate, there are about 1,100 million regular smokers in the world today. Of them, about 300 million (200 million male and 100 million female) are in the developed countries and nearly three times as many (700 million male and 100 million female) in developing countries.

At present, tobacco causes death of four million people globally every year and by 2030 more than 80 percent of tobacco deaths every year will occur in developing countries.

Over 90 percent of oral cancers in India can be attributed to tobacco smoking and chewing, and over nine lakh people are dying from the ill effects of tobacco and more than 2,500 deaths occur every day and tobacco is the main culprit for 40 percent of the cancers occurring in India. Moreover, the unfortunate thing is that the growth of smokers by 1.7 percent annually in the country.

Smoking causes several health complications and claims many lives every year. The more cigarettes you smoke in a day, and the longer you have smoked, the higher your risk of lung cancer. Similarly, the risk arises the deeper your inhale and the earlier in life you started smoking.

Heavy smokers (who smoke more than 15 cigarettes a day) are prone to lung cancer in particular. Lung, throat and mouth cancers hardly affect non-smokers. Prof T Mandapal, director of MNJ Institute of Oncology and Regional Cancer Centre, Hyderabad, says tobacco contains over 4,000 chemical compounds and at least 400 toxic substances, of which 60 are carcinogenic and its use is linked to over 25 diseases including heart, stroke, cancer and respiratory.

He suggests that all direct and indirect forms of advertisement, sponsorship and promotion of cigarettes should be banned. Mandapal says that their hospital had started a 'Tobacco Cessation Centre' in 2004 and is helping addicts quit tobacco through behavioral counselling, medication and Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT).

SREEPARNA CHAKRABARTY
NEW DELHI - Smokers beware! Hotels, airports, restaurants and even your drawing room would cease to be safe for you once the new regulations banning smoking in workplaces come into effect.
The 'Prohibition of Smoking in Public Places Rules, 2008' being introduced as part of an amendment to the Tobacco Control Act will bring under its ambit hotels, restaurants, airports, banquet halls, discotheques, pubs, coffee houses and shopping malls.
While eateries and other places generally come under the ambit of a work place, even a drawing room can be considered as one with the maid being considered as an employee.
According to the draft rules, it would be the responsibility of the owners of these establishments to ensure that nobody is caught smoking in their premises.
In case of any violation, it would be the owner, proprietor, manager or supervisor who would be liable to pay a fine.
The organization would also have to put up a prominent board displaying a no-smoking sign in front of the establishment.
The rules come as a part of the government efforts to check rising incidents of tobacco abuse in the country.
Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss had earlier campaigned to introduce pictorial warnings on cigarette and bidi packets to deter smokers.
A World Health Organization report has found that 10 percent of the world's smokers live in India.
The report further said the use of tobacco in India among young girls have risen with 9.7 percent girls between the age of 13 and 16 years using some form of tobacco as against 3.1 percent adult women.
Tobacco prevalence among adult men is a high 57 percent while 32.7 percent of them smoke bidis, it said.
The W.H.O. report warns that the "tobacco epidemic" is growing and could claim a billion lives by the end of the century.
Seventy-four countries still allow smoking in health care institutions and about the same number allow smoking in schools.
More than half the countries with two-thirds of the world's population allow smoking in government offices and workplaces.
The international health body says that most smokers in South-East Asia start tobacco consumption before the age of 18 and almost a quarter of them start using tobacco before the age of 10.

A POEM : HELPS (A poem from Simon Russell (North Qld)

""SUCKED IN""

The money I suppose should be reason enough,
But the bad throat you feel makes it doubly rough.
So you give them away and count off the days,
The freedom you feel, all numbers of ways.
Then look back and feel like some sort of fool,
All those ingested poisons,it wasn’t that cool.
As though forty a day is harder to break,
Than fifteen or eighty, mate it’s a mistake.
No matter what you did in terms of the how,
Just you’ve stopped for good, that means now.
Then you can say you're an ex-smoker as well.
And in your pallour, everyone can tell.
Coz the longer you smoke, don’t kid yourself,
About this haggard appearance and declining health.
These are all signs that you can't ignore,
Half full lungs that cough till they’re sore
I used to smoke and was happy to stop,
Paying to hurt myself I found too hard to cop.
If any other product caused that much pain,
It wouldn't be sold openly with no hassle again.
Hopefully I now live past 100 year old,
Can tell Great Grandchildren when cigarettes were sold.
It's hard to understand the political view,
That makes you wear a cycle helmet or get fined too,
How many do you think would die from the smokes?
But more than leave brain matter on their spokes.
With tobacco in hand, you govern unfit,
Non addictive my eye, it’s a professional hit.
Won't it hurt you because you can't see this lump?
That you are creating inside you, don't be a chump!
So please stop smoking while you've still got the time,
Because to burn your life away, now that is a crime

Passive Smoking Hazards.

Passive smoking hazards

Kolkata (PTI): When a person smokes, 15 per cent is inhaled and the remaining 85 per cent


containing carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, ammonia, nitrosamines, benzopyrines and 4,000

chemicals injurious to the human body, exhaled, according to a study.

"WHO has emphasised that this passive smoking is no less dangerous than direct smoking. The

total damages are indeed alarming, including cancer in various organs of the body," according to

the study by the Indian Society on Tobacco and Health (Kolkata branch).

"India has the highest incidence of oral cancer and smoking increases risk of heart diseases, high

blood pressure, lung problems, including smokers' cough, COPD and other respiratory diseases," it said.

The study said India's annual tobacco-related death was approximately 10 lakhs, 2,200 per day, 91 per hour and three every two minutes.

If the situation continued tobacco products would cause upto one billion deaths by the end of the 21st century, it said.

Passive smoking was particularly dangerous for women and children, who fell victim to chronic chest infection and asthma attack.

Children might also have retarded brain development and there could be sudden infant death syndrome, it said.
