Whether smoking is dangerous to health?

The funny thing is that while no one can accurately nor absolutely confirm that smoking is dangerous or refute this idea. Neither scientific nor statistically.

It is known that heavy smokers reduced working capacity of the lungs, increasing the load pulse is stronger, and dyspnea appears faster than non-smokers. Exactly, that smokers enhanced metabolism, so they are worse than gaining weight and lose it faster.

How much more dangerous to the life of these changes, judge not yet possible. Because, as soon as it begins to deal with nicotine addiction, and the scientists and statisticians have lowered his hands.

Yes, up to 70% of dying from lung cancer – smokers or quit smoking. But if you take the basic age and socio-sexual slice of the deceased, it turns out that he did so on 70% consists of former or present smokers.

Yes, shortness of breath when climbing on the fifth floor – that’s bad. But smokers are 15% more quickly solve problems on IQ tests. And half as likely to die from diabetes. Yes, smoking pregnant women, children often are born with a lack of weight.

But smokers to 50% less and less dangerous prenatal pre-eclampsia and a third reduced the incidence of toxicosis. Emphysema occurs in smokers twice as often, but Alzheimer – three times less, as well as Parkinson’s disease.

Here – the official medicine hits the gong of victory – all! Absolutely clear that smokers are more at risk of frostbite – their tissues are less resistant to cold. Proved, tested, in the safe! Let us struggle with bad habits!

But creeping report of the British Academy of Medicine of the sharp decrease in the number of ulcerative colitis in smokers compared with non-smokers – no, well, that for such a vile …

Summary data once again show: statistics – science false, inaccurate and crazy … But far worse is obtained when these statistics suddenly put in order. Wild scandal ended in 1993, the emergence of the medical report of the Australian Bureau of Statistics on the health status of the continent in 1989-1990.

There still need to take into account that in Australia, with its centralized system of medical centers and medical insurance of any statistical studies seem much louder and bigger than those of European and American centers.

So, according to this the report, the health of Australian smokers in general was better than the health of non-smokers or quit smoking. Atherosclerotic disease and oncology – the two main bogey in the fight against smoking – have shown modest results with those of their testimony would not let smoking sticks of his mouth, as compared to their non-smoking fellow citizens.

Given how much money lobbyists nicotine just at the time managed to pump out of public pockets to their great struggle, then for such reports to the drafters would cost to feed sharks, frolicking in the waters off Sydney …

Compared to this bomb could not even pay attention to the horrendous results of the Greek tradition (the highest percentage of smokers in Europe and also the lowest level of oncology and diseases of the circulatory system). What is Greece – in the end they where the sun, wine, mountain air, folk dances …

How does nicotine

In Tobacco contains the alkaloid nicotine. During the combustion of tobacco use some of the nicotine in smoke that enters the body through the lungs and mucous membranes. After which, together with the blood nicotine is carried to all organs and begins to penetrate into the cells of tissues.

In fact, get into our cells are not so easy – face control at the entrance will be more serious than in the most elite club, and guests outside the list, there is nothing special to catch. But nicotine lucky. Part of receptor cells, calculated to have ready access into the natural enzyme in our bodies – acetylcholine, nicotine perceives as a form of this enzyme. Widely opens the door.

Actions that nicotine has on the body, very much.

It increases the rate of heart rate, constricts blood vessels (and at the same time contributing to their growth), comes into close interaction with the neurons of the brain, stimulates the production of the enzyme dopamine fun – inside us is practically no scope for a place to nicotine does not put his nose.

But this is no very violent changes in us does not happen. Unlike alcohol, for example, nicotine behaves quite modestly, very quickly integrated into the overall work process of metabolism and accounts for less to the liking of our body, that he quickly recovered after the first vomiting and dizziness, is beginning to demand more and more portions of this substance, considering it is now a legitimate part of their own system.

Day of Judgment

Now the head has not yet cut, but, apparently, all to and attending. Six years ago, the largest U.S. tobacco companies have already acknowledged its obligation to pay 46 states $ 206 000 000, to cover the cost of medical insurance smokers. Insurance companies for a long time dancing victory dance.

No wonder, under the “nicotine amnesty” has got most of the existing disease – was enough to indicate to the patient that he is a smoker, and account for its treatment are being forwarded to the distribution centers for tobacco subsidies.

Given that the production of tobacco workers, and so subject to the grandiose taxes, but the companies themselves are regularly pay multimillion-dollar amount of claims of private “victims” would seem to be satisfied and such indemnities. No such luck.

Right now in the U.S. in the midst of the process of division of the tobacco lawsuits of the Ministry of Justice to the five largest tobacco companies – Philip Morris USA, Reynolds American, British American Tobacco, Liggett Group, and Lorillard Tobacco.

The amount of the claim now amounts to $ 247 000 000, and the company charged that fifty years ago, they participated in the conspiracy and agreed to conceal from the public the fact that smoking causes addiction and dependence. If companies lose this court, the tobacco industry in the U.S. simply become bankrupt.

Why is tobacco so afraid of?

Marching on the anti-smoking money to bite off from the tobacco companies and milked from public budgets – is the sum of a large number of zeros. It is not surprising that such a golden luster attracts so many ardent advocates, angry and passionate advocates of speakers for the happiness of mankind.

People will always pay two types of citizens, this is the royal philosopher Marcus Aurelius said: “Those who entertain them, and those who are afraid of them.”

Of course, entertaining show-business scale is still larger, but the case “pugateley also quite a flourish.

Hundreds of funds safely pockets tobacco millions, feeding doctors and journalists, politicians and public figures. Of course, you can still fight with abortion, with plants with genetically modified food, with a bad environment, with the crisis of overproduction, with the motor industry … But in most of these cases on the side of the “blemish” usually are too powerful forces that are still quite successfully resisted such attacks.

Try to Touch the like should be the same genetically modified food – rise up against you half of all U.S. farmers, fools no such bulls butt. And tobacco companies have been quite bold and flavorful, but it is also too weak. Sic ‘em, Amy!

Progress in the fight against the demonic potion staggering – the bastions are falling behind the ramparts. Smokers give short weight red flags from all sides, non-smoker drum that those with smoking tricks in the mouth, impinge on your life and freedom.

They envelop with smoke of your children, and they grow up stupid freaks, they deprive men of sexual power, they jinxed your cows and dance naked on Bald Mountain! .. In general, old recipes still work well.

Convincing non-smoker today that a man with a cigarette in the other end of the restaurant does not cause him absolutely no harm – it’s like five hundred years ago to try to tell a pious man in the street in Cologne about the fact that witches do not really young to ferment and spoil the child in the womb.

“Quitting smoking is all about simplicity, I myself went through this a hundred times” – Mark Twain

The most bizarre poison in the world

Nicotine boils at a temperature of 140-145 degrees, dissolved in water, ether and alcohol, is a very strong poison. A drop of nicotine in several centigrammes kills the horse. This is true. But the dog you want to have two or three drops, but if you take a goat or a sheep, these animals are quiet drink and ten drops, not even meknuv.

Amoebas can do well there, sporting a one percent solution of nicotine, but the tubercle bacillus somehow instantly drops the hoof (or that it is still there) even in the presence of trace amounts of this alkaloid in the environment (which is why experienced doctors sanatorium stealthily offer a patient not to rush to throw smoke, and initially cured).

If a non-smoking person ate twenty cigarettes, he either dies, or forever corrupt the mind, but schizophrenics smoking helps to block the attacks of insanity – nicotine has a beneficial effect on the functioning of neurons.

Leech, you used to suck the blood of smokers live on average 20% longer than its “non-smokers’ contemporaries, but if a person with a leech is been planted at this time to smoke, the little animal quickly died in terrible convulsions.
