Carbon monoxide & tar
1.
2. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that is highly
toxic in nature.
While cars emit carbon monoxide, so do cigarettes and
other smoke-able tobacco products as the tobacco itself is
burned.
The gas is formed when plant materials burn. It can
combine with haemoglobin in blood, reducing the blood’s
capacity to carry oxygen.
Carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke is thought to be
associated with the increased risk of heart disease from
smoking.
3. The most harmful of the gases in cigarette smoke is carbon
monoxide which is the same gas as that in car exhaust.
Carbon monoxide (CO) replaces oxygen in the
blood, making it difficult for the body's cells to get all the
oxygen they need.
CO also promotes cholesterol deposits in the
arteries, contributing to cardiovascular disease.
Elevated CO blood levels impair vision and
judgment, making smoking potentially dangerous to drivers.
4. Over time, as more and more carbon monoxide binds to
hemoglobin, a smoker's arteries harden, which can
cause the following health complications:
blood clots
gangrene, which can lead to the need for amputation
heart attack
heart disease
pulmonary embolism, a condition in which a blood clot
trapped in the lungs blocks the flow of oxygen to the body
stroke
vascular (vein-related) disease.
5. Tar is a sticky substance found in tobacco leaves when
smocked it coats the lungs and alveoli. This prevents oxygen
from reaching the blood.
These gummy particles consist of a large number of toxic
chemicals created by burning tobacco.
Although cigarette filters are intended to trap tar and spare
smokers from excess tar exposure but toxins still make it
through and can leave a brown-yellow film behind
Tar impacts human health in a number of ways, including
increasing the risk of bronchitis, emphysema and lung cancer.
6. The tar in cigarettes can stain smokers' teeth and turn them
yellow or brown.
Cigarette tar can stain anything it touches brown, including a
smoker's hands and clothing.
The tar in tobacco cigarettes is a major cause of lung cancer,
emphysema and bronchitis. The toxins from the tar can
damage lung cells that keep tumors from forming.
Cigarette tar also damages cilia in the lungs, which protect
the lining of the lungs.
7.
8. Inflammation of the lining of the airways connecting the
trachea to the lungs, called the bronchial tubes, occurs when
the tissues become irritated.
It becomes harder than normal to breathe, resulting in a
consistent, hacking cough.
Chronic bronchitis causes bronchial tubes to be red and
swollen on a continuous basis and produce excessive mucus
over time.
Decreased immune system reactions may make killing off
bacterial infections difficult.
9. Emphysema develops when the air sacs at the base of tiny air
passages called bronchioles gradually break down smoking.
The irritating chemicals in cigarette smoke, including tar, are
the leading cause of emphysema.
Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest
tightness, chronic coughing, fatigue and decreased physical
activity ability.
Emphysema eventually prevents oxygen entering the lungs
from reaching the blood stream.
10. An increased risk of lung cancer correlates to the estimated
total milligrams of tar from cigarette smoke to which a
person is exposed.
Lung cancer ranks as the leading cause of cancer deaths
for Americans.
Preventing or stopping the use of tobacco, including
exposure to tar, could nearly eliminate lung cancer.
If caught in an early stage, the five year relative survival rate
for lung cancer is 31 percent.
11.
12. Smoking affects the respiratory system because it stops the
small little hairs called Cilia in your throat. They are used to
push dirt and mucus out of your throat.
The tar also sticks to the lining of your throat and lungs (this
makes fingers yellow).
It contains a lot of carbon monoxide which sticks to the
hemoglobin in the blood instead of oxygen.
Mucus which would also be removed through cilia goes in to
blood stream and is deposited in arteries.
