2 Tobacco Facts Tobacco is a drug (#2 most abused drug in U.S.).
½ million adults quit smoking for good each year. It is possible! Much damage repaired by quitting. Tobacco is: (a) plant (b) crop (c) addictive substance (d) carcinogen #2 most abused drug but responsible for more deaths per year than all illegal drugs combined. Plant Crop – people make big money by farming tobacco --- support politicians --- difficult getting laws passed! Addictive Substance – how hard was it for you to give up your habit. Imagine how much harder it would be to give up something addictive! Carcinogen = cancer-causing

3 Harmful Substances In Tobacco
Smoke – gets in lungs; paralyzes cilia Nicotine – addictive substance; stimulant (speeds up heart rate, increases B.P., dulls the appetite). However, the aftereffect of nicotine is a depression of body functions (calming effect). Tar – cancer-causing agent. Carbon Monoxide – poisonous gas; CO levels increase in bloodstream & compete for hemoglobin (carries oxygen). This decreases the oxygen transport to the body tissues. Depriving body tissues of oxygen causes damage to heart, blood vessels, etc. NO TOBACCO PRODUCT IS SAFE! (cigarette, cigar, dip, chew, snuff products) Cilia act like bristles on a broom to sweep out dust particles. Since they are paralyzed, smoker’s cough to attempt to clear out particles = SMOKER’s HACK.
