Consequences Of Smoking
Kidney Cancer - The cancerous and toxic chemicals found in cigarettes when passed out in urine can damage the kidney tubule cells and estimates suggest that smoking is the cause of 24% of kidney cancers in men and 9% in women.
Thirty two different diseases and illnesses result from the chemicals found in cigarettes affecting almost every organ within the human body with the most common consequences of smoking long term being cancer, coronary heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Diseases and illnesses caused by smoking include:
Cancer - Cancer is a malignant growth or tumour resulting from uncontrolled cell divisions which can spread to other areas of the body through the lymphatic system. Cancers related to smoking include:
Lung Cancer - Lung cancer is the disease most often associated with smoking with the consequences of smoking accounting for 90% of lung cancer deaths in men and 80% of lung cancer deaths in women.
Mouth and Throat Cancer - Oral cancers consist of the lips, tongue, mouth and throat with 90% of all oral cancers linked to tobacco use.
Articles
Peripheral Vascular Disease - Peripheral vascular disease is a disease that affects the circulatory system and can result in the blood vessels in the legs or feet becoming blocked due to hardening of the arteries. This can result in gangrene and the infected area if untreated needing to be amputated.
Smoking and Gum Disease - Smokers are more at risk than non smokers to develop gum disease and periodontitis resulting in tooth loss. Smoking restricts the amount of oxygen and blood to the gums and increases the build up of plaque.
Cataracts and Mucular Degeneration - Smoking can increase the chance of vision loss later in life with a smoker three times more likely to develop cataracts and double the risk of developing macular degeneration later in life.
Osteoporosis (Brittle Bone Disease) - Women who smoke have a greater chance of developing osteoporosis later in life. Osteoporosis or as it is often call "Brittle bone disease" increases the risk of bone fractures. Smoking can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis by affecting muscle, bone and joint health.
Impotence and Reduced Fertility - Smoking and sex do not mix. Smoking can affect sexual and reproductive health. Smoking can increase the risk of impotence in men by 50% and reduce fertility levels in both men and women.
Estimates Suggest:
90% of all cases of lung cancer are a consequence of smoking. 75% of all chronic bronchitis cases and 80% of emphysema cases are smoking related with smokers also twice as likely to suffer a heart attack and five times as likely to suffer a stroke with a 70% higher rate of coronary heart disease.
The consequences of smoking result in smoking being the largest cause of preventable disease and premature death in today's society reducing a smokers life expectancy by 7-30 years and resulting in one in ten deaths globally each year (4 million deaths) exceeding all deaths by AIDS, traffic accidents, illegal drug abuse, suicide and murder combined.
Pneumonia - Pneumonia is another lung disease linked to smoking and is the result of inflammation of the lung tissue which can affect one or both sides of the chest resulting in pains in the chest, coughing and breathing difficulties.
Cardiovascular Disease - In addition to cancer and respiratory problems, smoking can cause heart disease.
Coronary Heart Disease - Cardiovascular disease is caused by atherosclerosis (accumulation of plaque) resulting in the narrowing of arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart producing chest pain or heart attack.
Angina - Angina is a result of coronary heart disease which results in chest pain due to a limited amount of oxygen-rich blood flowing to the heart. Angina pain can also occur in other areas of the body including the shoulders and arms, neck, jaw and back.
Heart Attack and Stroke - Heart attacks occur when blood flow to an area of the heart is blocked. Smokers are twice as likely to suffer a heart attack and five times more likely to suffer from a stroke than non smokers.

Pancreatic Cancer - The chemical called nitrosamine found in cigarette smoke is a carcinogen and is believed to cause pancreatic cancer with 1 in 5 pancreatic cancers linked to smoking.
Cervical Cancer - Smoking has been linked to cervical cancer. The carcinogens and poisons contained in cigarette smoke damage the cells in the cervix and have been shown to increase the risk of cervical cancer.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is an umbrella term for diseases of the lungs and result from the narrowing of the small airways (bronchi) connected to the lungs. Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases include:
Chronic Bronchitis - Bronchitis is an inflammation of the airways within the lungs. When these airways are irritated mucus forms which block these airways resulting in breathing difficulties. It is estimated that 8 out of 10 cases of chronic bronchitis are smoking related.
Emphysema - Emphysema often occurs in association with chronic bronchitis and is a progressive and irreversible lung disease resulting from damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs.
