Which is the smoking?Smokingis a practice in which a substance
is burned and the resulting smoke breathed in to be tasted and
absorbed into the bloodstream. Most commonly the substance is the
dried leaves of thetobaccoplant which have been rolled into a small
square of rice paper to create a small, round cylinder called a
cigarette"
Smoking Effects on your bodyCirculation: when you smoke, the
toxins from cigarette smoke enter your blood. The toxins in your
blood then:Increase your blood pressure and heart rate, making your
heart work harder than normalMake your blood thicker, and increase
chances of clot formationBones: smoking can cause your bones to
become weak and brittle. Women need to be especially careful as
they are more likely to suffer from brittle bones (osteoporosis)
than non-smokers.Skin: smoking reduces the amount of oxygen that
gets to your skin. This means that if you smoke, your skin ages
more quickly and looks grey and dull. The toxins in your body also
cause cellulite.Lungs: your lungs can be very badly affected by
smoking. Coughs, colds, wheezing and asthma are just the start.
Smoking can cause fatal diseases such as pneumonia, emphysema and
lung cancer.
smoking in young
In 2007 , there were more than 3 million American teenagers (
between 12 and 17 years of age) who reported having consumed a
product of snuff in the month before the survey. In the same year ,
it was found that nearly 60 percent of new smokers were under 18
when they smoked a cigarette for the first time . Smokers under 18
, it is likely that more than 6 million die prematurely from
smoking-related disease.Teenagers also seem to be more sensitive to
the reinforcing effects of nicotine combined with other chemicals
found in cigarettes , thus increasing their susceptibility to
becoming addicted to snuff . As mentioned above, acetaldehyde
increases the addictive properties of nicotine in adolescent , but
not in adult animals . A recent study also suggests that there are
specific genes that may increase the risk of addiction in people
who start smoking during adolescence. NIDA continues to actively
support research aimed at increasing our understanding of how and
why teens become addicted and develop strategies for prevention and
treatment to meet their specific needs.
Conclusions:Puga: In conclusion we saw in this presentation
snuff consumption at different ages and the effects that cause
addiction, not only to him but also to eat around it.
Dante: today there are many people who smoke but that's not bad,
bad is that 60 by the way of new smokers are people under 18 and
that means young people are becoming addicted has younger ages and
that can cause disease which can lead to death or very serious
conditions that are for permanent such as lung cancer which is the
most affected by the snuff
