Smoking may be useful?

Tobacco was brought to Europe from South America in the 16 century. Despite the existing ban on smoking in those days of the churches and governments, tobacco smoking has become a widespread habit among the population of European countries.

It goes well the structure of tobacco smoke. There have identified about 500 substances in it. But the main pharmacologically active substances were nicotine (acute effects) and resin (chronic action).

Known about the small number of diseases that develop in smokers less likely than non-smokers!

These include: toxaemia of pregnancy, postoperative pulmonary embolism (blood vessel occlusion - a dangerous complication), Parkinson's disease, ulcerative colitis, Alzheimer's disease (for smokers never develop!). In addition, the frequency of endometrial cancer slightly lower in female smokers than nonsmokers. Yet it must be emphasized that these minor beneficial effects can not be compared with the risk caused by the constant smoking! Everyone knows that smoking causes severe forms of many diseases.

Smoking and hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of breast cancer

Smoking hundreds of cigarettes significantly increases the likelihood of developing breast cancer.
At the next stage of research, scientists are going to find out what impact the development of breast cancer has a number of smoked cigarettes.
The team of scientists from the Mayo Clinic (USA) compared the risk factors in 1 225 women, breast cancer patients, and the 6 872 patients whose disease is not diagnosed. The results showed 10% of the subjects smoked at the time of the experiment, 9% separated from the pernicious habit some time ago, while 81% had never been had. In women who had smoked in total during the life of a hundred or more cigarettes, the risk of the disease was much higher than the others.
However, the probability of occurrence of malignant tumors in the breast is markedly reduced, as only a woman stop smoking.
It was also found that oral contraceptives for 11 years or more increases the risk of developing breast cancer by 200%. In women who received postmenopausal hormone therapy, the risk increased by 81%. In addition, each year the life of the likelihood of cancer increases by 2%. A hysterectomy (removal of uterus), by contrast, reduces the risk by 35%.
At the next stage of research, scientists are going to find out what impact the development of breast cancer have a smoking in pre-and postmenopausal period, the number of cigarettes smoked and passive smoking.
Recall also that smoking cessation rapidly reduces the risk of heart disease. Within a few weeks after the rejection of cigarettes among women reduced the level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and two other related substances. In addition, the content decreases in blood C-reactive protein (CRP), whose presence indicates inflammation in the body, and interleukin-6, also participates in the immune response and inflammatory reaction.

Filter of cigarette

The filter cigarette was a specialty item until 1954, when manufacturers introduced it broadly following a spate of speculative announcements from doctors and researchers concerning a possible link between lung diseases and smoking. Reacting to smokers' voiced fears and sudden reduced cigarette consumption, cigarette companies, by altering the filter's structure and materials, began making competing claims about how low their brands' tar and nicotine levels were. Some cigarettes today boast the inclusion of a "charcoal filter" in addition to the more common dense, synthetic fiber filters seen in almost all filter cigarettes. Manufacturers claim that charcoal filters, which contain bits of charcoal embedded within the fiber filters, reduce certain toxins in the smoke. But no evidence exists that these cigarettes are significantly less dangerous for the user. Most filter cigarettes also bear ventilation holes punched around the circumference of the filter tip. (Regular cigarettes might feature one ring of ventilation holes, while light and ultra-light cigarettes of the same brand might have two or more rings.) These tiny holes, which you can see by holding the unrolled paper up to a bright light, can allow enough fresh air into the smoke that such cigarettes can test quite low in tar and nicotine levels when smoked by machines, which do not cover the holes. However, smokers' fingers or lips often cover some of these holes as they puff, giving them much higher doses of tar and nicotine than advertised. According to critics of the tobacco industry, the holes create a flexible dosing system that allows addicted smokers to maintain the tar and nicotine levels they crave while believing they are receiving lower, safer doses.
