Smoking Causes Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema

www.nucleushealth.com/ - This 3D medical animation created by Nucleus Medical Media shows the health risks of smoking tobacco.
ID#: ANH12071
Transcript:
Every time you smoke a cigarette, toxic gases pass into your lungs, then into your bloodstream, where they spread to every organ in your body. A cigarette is made using the tobacco leaf, which contains nicotine and a variety of other compounds. As the tobacco and compounds burn, they release thousands of dangerous chemicals, including over forty known to cause cancer. Cigarette smoke contains the poisonous gases carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide, as well as trace amounts of cancer-causing radioactive particles. All forms of tobacco are dangerous, including cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco, such as chewing tobacco and snuff.
Nicotine is an addictive chemical in tobacco. Smoking causes death. People who smoke typically die at an earlier age than non-smokers. In fact, 1 of every 5 deaths in the United States is linked to cigarette smoking.
If you smoke, your risk for major health problems increases dramatically, including: heart disease, heart attack, stroke, lung cancer, and death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Smoking causes cardiovascular disease.
When nicotine flows through your adrenal glands, it stimulates the release of epinephrine, a hormone that raises your blood pressure. In addition, nicotine and carbon monoxide can damage the lining of the inner walls in your arteries. Fatty deposits, called plaque, can build up at these injury sites and become large enough to narrow the arteries and severely reduce blood flow, resulting in a condition called atherosclerosis. In coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis narrows the arteries that supply the heart, which reduces the supply of oxygen to your heart muscle, increasing your risk for a heart attack. Smoking also raises your risk for blood clots because it causes platelets in your blood to clump together. Smoking increases your risk for peripheral vascular disease, in which atherosclerotic plaques block the large arteries in your arms and legs. Smoking can also cause an abdominal aortic aneurysm, which is a swelling or weakening of your aorta where it runs through your abdomen.
Smoking damages two main parts of your lungs: your airways, also called bronchial tubes, and small air sacs called alveoli. Cigarette smoke irritates the lining of your bronchial tubes, causing them to swell and make mucus. Cigarette smoke also slows the movement of your cilia, causing some of the smoke and mucus to stay in your lungs. While you are sleeping, some of the cilia recover and start pushing more pollutants and mucus out of your lungs. When you wake up, your body attempts to expel this material by coughing repeatedly, a condition known as smoker's cough. Over time, chronic bronchitis develops as your cilia stop working, your airways become clogged with scars and mucus, and breathing becomes difficult.
Your lungs are now more vulnerable to further disease. Cigarette smoke also damages your alveoli, making it harder for oxygen and carbon dioxide to exchange with your blood. Over time, so little oxygen can reach your blood that you may develop emphysema, a condition in which you must gasp for every breath and wear an oxygen tube under your nose in order to breathe.
Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are collectively called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. COPD is a gradual loss of the ability to breathe for which there is no cure.
Cigarette smoke contains at least 40 cancer-causing substances, called carcinogens, including cyanide, formaldehyde, benzene, and ammonia. In your body, healthy cells grow, make new cells, then die. Genetic material inside each cell, called DNA, directs this process. If you smoke, toxic chemicals can damage the DNA in your healthy cells. As a result, your damaged cells create new unhealthy cells, which grow out of control and may spread to other parts of your body. Cigarettes can cause cancer in other parts of your body, such as: in the blood and bone marrow, mouth, larynx, throat, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney, bladder, uterus, and cervix.
Smoking can cause infertility in both men and women. If a woman is pregnant and smokes during pregnancy, she exposes her baby to the cigarette's poisonous chemicals, causing a greater risk of: low birth weight, miscarriage, preterm delivery, stillbirth, infant death, and sudden infant death syndrome. Smoking is also dangerous if a mother is breastfeeding. Nicotine passes to the baby through breast milk, and can cause restlessness, rapid heartbeat, vomiting, interrupted sleep, or diarrhea.
Other health effects of smoking include: low bone density and increased risk for hip fracture among women; gum disease, often leading to tooth loss and surgery; immune system dysfunction and delayed wound healing; and sexual impotence in men.

I’m only 19, and I have been smoking for 6 years. I’m a hard smoker for 2-3 years. I’m afraid to take a look at my lungs. Today I decided to quit smoking, because I started to feel heaviness into my lungs, that something isn’t right. Wish me luck! 😊

He still smokes now,but less still,I hope he never gets sick or dies.He is a great brother and friend.I hope everyday that he quits,I never want him to die. If you are still reading this thank you for reading this and I hope that if you are smoking you may stop,after know what happened to my brother and some other people who commented,if you are smoking,please stop.

Pixel it didn’t go well 😢 I ended up smoking again, but now I’ve swapped to a vape for over a months now. Slowly decreasing the nicotine, now I’m at 3% nicotine, and eventually I’ll go down to 0% and then hopefully be able to lose the vape.

[@sbeverunner6083]

S Mac it’s a process, you’ll get there. Try meditation, this helps relax you and reduces cravings. Chewing gum (not too much because it has a laxative effect) is good for the hand to mouth feeling, similar to eating mints or m&ms. Good luck

Thank you. This video helps my brain combat withdrawal.

[@TumbleNuts]

People who smoke are aware of the risks that come with it, that's the trade off and consequence that most smokers are willing to accept and live with. I smoke because stress is something that overwhelms me almost every day. When I get my fix I feel like I'm at 100% again. It helps me function really. I have an addiction, and I'll be ready to pay the consequences of it when the time comes. Until then I have absolutely no problem with de-stressing myself with a cigarette and some relaxing music. I'd rather enjoy the day to day then worry about the future. It's the sacrifice that most of us will make, and there isn't anything wrong with that.

[@henkenm]

Maybe realise that it is the cigarette that causes you the stress ffs

[@kaytlinjustis5643]

Well, I find this ANOTHER reason to run for the hills everytime I see or smell smoke or E-cigs which are worse! Every time I do, I get headaches and it bothers me how addictive this stuff is!

I used to take grandma to chemo all the time since my parents worked during the day, I used to go out and get lunch across the street and I could see the staff from the infusion room outside smoking during their break, not very smart people.

[@sipeokemp1562]

That's ironic.

[@micahbell4294]

Lol what’s the point of old people doing chemo? It’s just torture pretty much. Should have just let her live out the rest of her days in peace. That’s what my grandparents did. They ended up living longer then they were told due to not having the shitty chemo and shit that would have caused them to die quicker.

[@ChuyitoChams]

I had my first real cigarette a couple days ago. I'm 23 and I wanted to try it just to try it honestly. It gave me a lightheaded sensation, followed by a kind of weed-like high. Then I got a headache. Needless to say, Idk why people do it. Also, it's not like a hugely addictive thing. Addiction is a mindset, in my opinion. After that first one, I actually did want to try it again, but then I said to myself "If I try it again, it'll become a habit". So I simply said no. Don't let anything or anyone control your habits. I just wanted to experiment, and I'm old enough, and experienced enough, to know my limitations and capabilities.

Be careful - nicotine is a tough one to quit....

[@criimsonrain]

I didn't know it would cause all of these.My dad currently smokes 3-4 or even 5 times a day.But using the elettric thing I don't know what it calls,I hope he will quit,I tried to tell him it's bad but he says to mind my business..Im praying he will stay healthy.

[@masterjedi6424]

4 months ago, my uncle made me swear and promise him that I'd quit smoking Cigarettes. He's 63 and been smoking for 45 years. Started when he was 18. Exactly one year after I was born, I am 44 years old. He has stage 2 COPD. Doctors said if he quit today, he'll add another 8 to 10 years to his life. He's still smoking and can barely finish 4 sentences. I quit 3 months after I promised that I would. 25 days now on the nicotine patch. This is the longest I've not smoked in over 8 years.

very nice video. i smoked for passed 9 months. now i stopped because i feel pain in my left side chest during smoking.. so please advice me. how to overcome from this problem, and whats is scientific reason behind this illness and pain.

[@nucleusmedicalmedia]

We're animators, not doctors, so we can't give medical advice. If you are experiencing pain you should make an appointment with a doctor.

[@tangly2264]

yah

[@tangly2264]

im 9 years old, i do not smoke

[@dealzjawalha2448]

Obviously you should make an appointment with your doctor, but cigarette smoke will damage and irritate your lungs over time. If you've only been smoking for 9 months, as long as you stay away from smoke you should notice your lungs slowly feeling better as they heal over the course of a few weeks/months.

[@shakkilijaz8163]

Thanks for your comments. Now I feel better no pain in my lungs. This video make me stop smoking.
