What’s in a Cigarette?

• More than 4,000 hazardous compounds.

• The most harmful:Tars: chemicals present in

tobacco.• Tars are well known

carcinogens.Carcinogens: cancer

causing agents.

THE LUNGS • Healthy bronchi, the

major breathing tubes leading to each lung.

• Bronchi are coated with mucus: a slippery secretion produced by the body that protects surfaces of linings.

• Bronchi are also lined with Cilia: hair like structures.

Respiratory Syst.

• Nicotine - addictive drug in all tobacco products

• Gateway drug- • Tars - • Carcinogens - • Emphysema -

Emphysema

See the air holes within the lung. Air can go in but, air will not go out.

O2 levels in the blood stream are also lowered since capillaries can not get the oxygen.

Conditions within body of tobacco users

• Bronchi - • Mucus - • Cilia - • Bronchitis - • COLD Chronic obstructive lung disease• carbon monoxide• ulcers• sinuses

Smoke Damage to Lungs

• Tars in cigarettes make mucus abnormally thick.

• Slow the action of the cilia.

• Irritation builds making smoker cough “smokers cough”

• Each puff of a cigarette paralyzes cilia and numbs the throat for a while.

Bronchitis and Emphysema

• People who smoke ultimately get one or more chronic diseases of the lung.

• Bronchitis and Emphysema are both chronic diseases of the lung.

• Bronchitis: a respiratory disorder with irritation of the bronchi, thick mucus, harsh cough.

• Emphysema: disease of lungs in which many small flexible air sacs burst and form a few large, rigid air pockets.

Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease

• A term for several diseases that interfere with breathing

• Asthma, bronchitis and Emphysema are all examples.

Cancer of the Lung
