The Dangers of Secondhand Smoke
Snuff smoke in the environment can seriously affect the health of , According to a report published in the latest issue of “Circulation.”
It is a paradox, maybe one of the largest in the history of mankind. The epidemic is claiming more deaths in the world-more than AIDS, wars, genocides, that is tolerated and encouraged by most governments around the world: it is smoking. Ten thousand people die each day because of cigarette smoke. It has been known for nearly a century that snuff kills, and not a day that goes by that does not appear that a new scientific study adds more evidence of the ravages of health ..
An important part of the paradox is that cigarette smoke, besides being bad for those who spend a percentage of your salary in it also hurts those who have to swallow it in spite of lack of legislation establishing a modicum of respect for the non-smoking and health policy to promote social education.
The figures speak for themselves. In the latest research carried out with passive smoking, which was just published in the latest issue of Circulation, has shown that after a non-smoker spends a half hour in a room where there’s smoke snuff, its stores of antioxidants (including vitamin C) down to a minimum.

Effects of snuff
What are the short term?
When a person smokes a cigarette, the body responds immediately to the nicotine contained in smoke. The nicotine causes a short-term increase in blood pressure, heart rate and blood flow from the heart. It also causes the arteries to narrow. Carbon monoxide reduces the amount of oxygen the blood can carry. This, combined with the effects produced by nicotine, creates an imbalance in the demand for oxygen by the cells and the amount of oxygen the blood can carry.
What are your long-term effects?
It is now well known to all that smoking can cause chronic lung diseases, heart disease and stroke, and cancer of the lung, larynx, esophagus, mouth and bladder.

Smoking in pregnancy
The scientific evidence is conclusive on the multiple effects from smoking on the health of smokers and people living in environments where the snuff smoke is present. Similarly, in various literature noted the effect that inhaling snuff, by the pregnant woman, has in the product, immediately increase the fetal heart rate.
This happens because most of the constituents of snuff smoke cross the placenta and levels of some components of snuff in the blood of the mother tend to even out the fetus. This is even more serious because the metabolism and elimination are slower in the fetus in the mother, and this causes the accumulation of harmful substances.

Pregnancy and smoking
Recently I heard a few say no pregnant women quit smoking because the doctor has told them that the greater the damage that occurs in the future baby’s anxiety to let it snuff itself. I’ve been researching on the net about this issue and it seems that the mother’s anxiety in the period from week 12 to 22 strongly influences on the fetus and can cause emotional disorders in childhood.
But until week 12? Today, most pregnancies are planned, for l The mother has the opportunity to stop smoking before becoming pregnant. Ideally, a year earlier so that the body gets cleansed of the effects of snuff, but you do not go that far. Just try to leave when he vows to become pregnant. Of course it’s hard to stop an addiction, but we are talking about having a baby. Make such a decision is important enough to motivate us to try and today there are all kinds of therapies to help stop the snuff. Even in clinics, family doctors can help.
If it’s an unplanned pregnancy, since we found out about the 8th week until the 12 th we have 4 weeks to quit or at least be reducing the amount of cigarettes. To motivate a fact: maternal smoking causes an increase.

Pregnancy and smoking
For many years it is known that the effects of snuff on pregnant women produces a greater risk of abortion or increased perinatal mortality, so it has been shown that children of women in gestational period who habitually snuff, are at risk of being born with less weight than normal.
Keep in mind that the fetus receives any component that the mother has in her body, therefore if the mother smokes, the fetus will be exposed to dozens of poisonous elements in the smoke of snuff and for this reason it is especially recommended for a woman during pregnancy quit.
Quitting the best decision
During pregnancy it is always advised quitting smoking, but ultimately the mother who decides to abandon this habit or not. However, it will raise this issue very seriously, as it seriously compromises the health of the baby. For this reason, pregnancy is a perfect occasion to consider quit smoking since the gestation period (approximately nine months), the addictive components of snuff have disappeared completely from the body and is much easier not to relapse.
Possible damage to fetus
Babies born to smoking mothers are exposed to several risks:
There is more risk of being born prematurely or weighing too low. This can cause future complications. They usually weigh an average 200 grams less than the average. Are almost double risk of death from sudden infant. It has shown a direct relationship between this and the smoking of the father or mother.
They are more likely to suffer diseases common during the first years of life.Worldwide, more doctor visits and must be hospitalized more frequently than children of nonsmoking parents.

The real problem with electronic cigarettes
The electronic cigarette is an alternative proposal to the people who want to successfully fight on smoking or necessarily quit , and say relative because the solution does not seem quite short, since it seems to have a greater propensity to defect after use . This is because the device must be connected to which the cigarettes in question, should control the release of nicotine in each puff of the person, but apparently this has no effect on other agents that cause the dependency snuff (although this case would be talking about the essence of snuff). On the contrary, seems to have an increased risk for toxic and carcinogenic effects.
Also known as e-Cigs , Electronic cigarettes have, among other active components glycerol, propylene glycol, butyl valerate, etc., all poisons that are small sprinkling of other circulatory system components harmful to the internal structures of its elements. And of course the respiratory system is also impaired. In the first instance, the combined emissions of the substances may have a power of concentration far more serious than the tar, and that’s saying a compound similar to current cigarette but does not.
The fashion of the electronic cigarette is due according to many health experts in the field while trends in the enthronement of the digital society on the simplest aspects of everyday life. For now, where the use of other electronic components is more evident, smoking occupy such other of the places for the list of new destructive habits. Of course you have established rules regarding the use of electronic cigarettes in several countries where such use is permitted but not its internal and external advertising.
But why the electronic cigarette makers boast that the unit only vaporizes the contents of the so-called cartridge, if all the components that has the electronic cigarette go directly to the respiratory system? Because they think that this is done less damage to the body when in fact the levels of uptake of each of the e-Cig substances are able to concentrate equally enormous, and there is no effective way to assess the real damage of these real agents. Of course time will tell if there is or harsher laws lenient on this, but the problem is latent.
