Fact About Smoking

Smokers get into more auto accidents due to being less alert, having slower reflexes, and also due to fussing around while driving (lighting up, etc.). In Czechoslovakia it's illegal to smoke while driving. Accident-proneness has been related to smoking.

Respiratory Effects

Respiratory Effects
Cigarette smoke's toxins scar breathing passages and damage the lungs' alveoli, the air sacs that handle gas exchange. Smoke also causes respiratory passages to narrow, while also inflaming the larynx and trachea. The Environmental Protection Agency reports secondhand smoke can cause pneumonia and bronchitis in young children, as well as trigger asthma attacks, even in children who have never shown symptoms of the condition.

Other Risks

Smoking and Hearing Loss

Another study conducted at the University of Wisconsin Medical School in Madison concluded that their findings suggest there may be an association between cigarette smoking and hearing loss. Karen Cruickshanks, associate professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences found that in a study of 4,753 adults age 48 to 97 smokers had a 70 percent higher risk of hearing loss than nonsmokers.
A continuing study is needed to determine if an exact cause-effect relationship exists. Cruickshanks commented that "It's most likely that there are many factors that play a role in the age-related loss of hearing, and possibly smoking is one of them."

Smoking and Night Vision

There are several factors that make investigation of the effects of smoking on night vision difficult. Contradictions still exist in the published studies. Night vision is, in itself, a complex physiological process. Visual function at night encompasses many parameters, e.g., scotopic dark adaptation, mesopic vision, contrast sensitivity, visual discrimination of moving targets, peripheral retinal sensitivity, glare recovery, and dark focus.
One well-done study found that temporary abstinence from smoking could sharply improve the night vision of smokers. Several studies found that smokers were more likely to have automobile accidents than nonsmokers were. Another study reported that, among people who had automobile accidents, smokers were more than two times as likely to have their accidents at night.
Finally, the chronic effects of active or passive cigarette smoking must be acknowledged. Smoking is believed to accelerate the overall aging process in humans and, among other things, we can no longer ignore that smoking can affect visual function.

Why Should You Quit Smoking

Cancer
Nearly everyone knows that smoking can cause lung cancer, but few people realize it is also linked to higher risk for many other kinds of cancer too, including cancer of the mouth, nose, sinuses, voice box (larynx), throat (pharynx), esophagus, bladder, kidney, pancreas, cervix, stomach, and acute myeloid leukemia.

Lung diseases
Smoking greatly increases your risk of getting long-term lung diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis. These diseases make it harder to breathe, and are grouped together under the name chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD causes chronic illness and disability, and gets worse over time -- sometimes becoming fatal. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis can be found in people as young as 40, but are usually found later in life, when the symptoms get much worse. Long-term smokers have the highest risk of developing severe COPD. Pneumonia is also included in the list of diseases known to be caused by smoking.

Heart attacks, strokes, and blood vessel diseases
Smokers are twice as likely to die from heart attacks as are non-smokers. Smoking is a major risk factor for peripheral vascular disease, a narrowing of the blood vessels that carry blood to the leg and arm muscles. Smoking also affects the walls of the vessels that carry blood to the brain (carotid arteries), which can cause strokes. Smoking can cause abdominal aortic aneurysm, in which the walls of the body's main artery weaken and separate, often causing sudden death. And men who smoke are more likely to develop erectile dysfunction (impotence) because of blood vessel disease.

Five Facts About Smoking
