7. Facts About Tobacco
ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES These products look like regular cigarettes. "E-cigarettes" do not contain tobacco, but they still have nicotine inside. Liquid nicotine is heated, and users inhale the vapor. These "smokeless cigarettes" are sometimes marketed as a way to help smokers quit or as an alternative to regular cigarettes. However, the nicotine in electronic cigarettes has the same harmful addictive effects as that found in regular cigarettes.

8. E-Cigarette http://kidshealth
Battery-powered smoking devices often designed to look and feel like regular cigarettes.
Because e-cigarettes do not burn tobacco, people don’t inhale the same amounts of tar and carbon monoxide as a regular cigarette.
Still get nicotine and other chemicals
Research still working on finding all affects of e-cigarettes

9. Chemicals in Tobacco Products
Nicotine– very addictive chemical in tobacco products; acts as an insecticide to protect tobacco plants from insects
Effects of Nicotine
Short term– increased heart rate and blood pressure, changes in brain that may lead to addiction
One time use- rapid pulse, clammy skin, nausea, dizziness

10. Chemicals in Tobacco Products
Tar– dark, sticky substance that forms when tobacco burns
Contains a mixture of chemicals, many of which are called carcinogens or cancer-causing agents

16. Tobacco’s Cost to Society
Good Afternoon!
Tobacco’s Cost to Society

17. Costs to Society Tobacco’s Many Costs
Tobacco companies spend more than $34 million each day on marketing to encourage people to use tobacco products.
Whether or not they use tobacco, U.S. taxpayers pay billions of dollars each year in federal taxes to treat the many health problems caused by tobacco use.

18. Costs to Society Costs to Smokers
Researches have determined that the average cigarette smoker uses one-and-a-half packs each day.
The average price per pack in most states has risen to more than $5. This means the typical smoker spends more than $8 per day on cigarettes. That adds up to $250 over the course of one month, or $3,000 per year.
In 10 years’ time, the average smoker in the U.S. will have spent more than $30,000 on cigarettes.

19. Costs to Society
Lost productivity. Productivity is how much a person is able to finish in the time he or she works. People who use tobacco:
have lower productivity levels on the job.
are sick more often than nonsmokers and get less done .
Lost productivity costs businesses a lot of money. The nation as a whole pays a large price too. The government estimates that smoking costs the U.S. economy $96 billion per year in lost productivity.

20. Costs to Society
Health care costs. People who use tobacco tend to need more medical treatment than those who do not. If tobacco users have health insurance, it may help pay for some of their treatment. However, because health insurance companies face more costs to cover tobacco users, they charge higher rates for their insurance.
If a tobacco user has no health insurance, the government helps cover the costs. This means that every U.S. family pays for tobacco use through their taxes.

21. Costs to Society
Countering the Costs of Tobacco Use
Tobacco Taxes Taxes are now added to each pack of cigarettes sold in the United States and in certain states.
Smoke-Free Environments On the state and local government levels, public action groups work to lower the cost to nonsmokers through laws that ban smoking in public spaces. This protects nonsmokers from dangerous secondhand smoke.
Tobacco Taxes For example, there is a federal excise tax that adds $1 to the price of each pack of cigarettes. Additional taxes make it more costly to buy tobacco products and give the government more money to educate people about the dangers of tobacco use.
Smoke-Free Environments It has become common to find businesses and restaurants where smoking indoors or even outdoors is not allowed. These laws protect the health of all restaurant patrons. Some towns and cities have even made it illegal to smoke in certain outdoor locations, such as beaches, playgrounds, and gardens. The federal government has also passed laws to protect the rights of nonsmokers. Since 1989, it has been illegal to smoke on all airplane flights in the United States.

22. Happy Friday!
Please take out your tobacco notes!

23. Costs to Society Labeling Laws and Advertising Limits
Cigarette packages must have clear warning labels, or disclaimers. The disclaimers state clearly that smoking is harmful.
Cans and pouches of smokeless tobacco must also display similar disclaimers.
Tobacco companies cannot place outdoor ads within 1,000 feet of schools and playgrounds or advertise on television or radio. They cannot make or sell promotional hats, T-shirts, and other items.

24. Secondhand Smoke- combination of mainstream and sidestream smoke
Mainstream smoke– exhaled from the smoker’s lungs
Sidestream smoke– smoke that goes directly into the air from the cigarette
Has twice as much tar and nicotine as mainstream smoke
An estimated 46,000 nonsmokers die each year from heart disease. About 3,000 additional nonsmokers die of lung cancer each year.

34. Health Risks of Tobacco Use

35. Short-Term Effects of Tobacco Use
Cravings
Breathing and heart rate
Taste and appetite
Unpleasant feelings
Unattractive effects
Cravings Nicotine is a very addictive drug, which means it causes the body to want more of it.
Breathing and heart rate For a smoker, it becomes harder to breathe during normal physical activity. it is more difficult for a tobacco user to work out for a long period of time. Nicotine also causes the heart to beat faster than normal.
Taste and appetite Tobacco use dulls taste buds and reduces appetite. Tobacco users may lose much of their ability to enjoy food. However, when a person quits using tobacco, taste buds will heal.
Unpleasant feelings Tobacco users may experience dizziness. Their hands and feet may also feel colder than normal.
Unattractive effects Tobacco use causes bad breath, yellowed teeth, and smelly hair, skin, and clothes. It also ages the skin more quickly.

36. Long-Term Effects of Tobacco Use
Bronchitis
Emphysema
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Lung cancer
Heart disease
Weakened immune system
Bronchitis Tobacco smoke can damage the bronchi, or the passages through which air travels to the lungs. Also, a buildup of tar in the lungs can cause a smoker to have fits of uncontrollable coughing.
Emphysema This disease can make a person use most of his or her energy just to breathe. Emphysema is a common cause of death for smokers.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) This condition includes chronic bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema.
Lung cancer Nearly 90 percent of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking.
Heart disease The nicotine in tobacco greatly increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Weakened immune system Long-term tobacco use harms the body's defenses against various diseases. Tobacco users are also more likely to get common illnesses such as coughs, colds, and allergies.
