TOBACCO A single puff of a tobacco cigarette
contains over 4,000 harmful chemicals 68 of them are Class A carcinogens –
Known to cause cancer
The 3 main chemicals in cigarette smoke are:NicotineTarCarbon monoxide
NICOTINE Made by tobacco plants to
keep insects away
Poisonous to insects
Very physically addictive 1/3 of all people who try a
cigarette will become addicted
TOBACCO Over 400,000 people die each year in
the U.S. from smoking-related illnesses 2nd hand smoke is also very harmful to
healthAlso known as environmental tobacco
smoke (ETS)Passive smokersCan cause irritated eyes, nose and throat;
heart disease, allergic reactions, including asthma; lung cancer
TRENDS Since the 1990’s, young people have
been getting smarter about using tobaccoFrom 1991 – 1996, there was a 50%
increase of smoking among 8th and 10th graders
From 1996 – 2005, rates of smoking have declined.
ADOLESCENTS AND TOBACCO USE The majority of youth are smoke free
88% of 8th graders had not used any tobacco product in the past 30 days (CDC, 2006)
92% had not used cigarettes 97% had not used smokeless tobacco
However, 2.6 million adolescents in U.S. smoke cigarettes
1.3 million people under age 18 try their first cigarette387,000 become daily smokers85 - 90% of adult smokers started before age 18Often leads to alcohol and other drugs
SHORT-TERM CONSEQUENCES Bad breath Smelly clothes Increased heart rate Leads to yellow teeth and fingers
MANY TYPES OF TOBACCO:
TYPES OF TOBACCO Cigarettes Smokeless tobacco
Chewing tobaccoSnuff
Pipe Cigar New electronic cigarettes
SmokelessStill contain nicotine
Risk: nicotine poisoning Still undergoing research and testing
SMOKELESS CIGARETTES Safer in
some ways, no smoke
Risk nicotine poisoning
New, still need more testing
NICOTINE POISONING Higher doses of nicotine can cause:
DizzinessFaintnessRapid pulseCold, clammy skinNausea, vomiting and diarrhea
TOBACCO ADVERTISING Surgeon general warnings
are small, inconspicuous – tobacco companies make them as small as possible
Companies try to manipulate young people to smoke 85% - 90 % of all smokers
begin before the age of 18
Tobacco companies spend $41.5 million on ads per day! (That’s 15.4 billion per year)
MARKETING TO TEENS
USUALLY SMALL AND SOMEWHAT HIDDEN ON THE PACKAGING
WHAT IS NICOTINE? Nicotine is a stimulant that artificially
speeds up the heart rate
People who smoke have an increased risk of:Heart diseaseHigh blood pressure
LUNGS Healthy and diseased lungs from
smoking
ALVEOLI Alveoli are little air sacs in the lungs that hold
oxygen when we breathe Once alveoli get hard from tar, like the dry
sponge, they pop The more a person smokes, the more alveoli they
pop – this is called emphysema Alveoli are like packing bubbles The more alveoli that pop, the worse a person’s
emphysema gets Most of the time, a person with emphysema continues
smoking because they are addicted What happens to a person when their alveoli pop?
it gets harder to breathe alveoli don’t grow back
ALVEOLI AND EMPHYSEMA
CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD)Pulmonary= Lungs Emphysema
Alveoli are damagedReduces amount of air exchange in lungs
Chronic bronchitisLining of airways is constantly irritated and
inflamedLots of mucus in airways; hard to breathe
ADDICTION: NICOTINE AND THE BRAIN Nicotine is extremely addictive
More addictive than heroin and cocaineMimics the effects of neurotransmitters in the
brain Chemicals that carry messages from one part of
the brain to anotherChanges number of receptors for
neurotransmitters in the brain Results in tolerance
Needing higher levels of nicotine to feels same effects.

Complete worksheets by the end of the day
STATION #1: WORKSHEET #1 Lesson #1: What Tobacco Does To Your
Body
Read the pamphlet & fill out the Concept Map on Chapter #13 Lesson #1
STATION #2: HEART DEMO To simulate what happens to the heart:
Step 1: Take your pulse Do not take with thumb – it has its own pulse Take with index or middle finger Take either carotid, on neck, or radial, on the
thumb side of wrist A pulse is counted in beats per minute BPM) Do you need to count for 60 seconds?
What is an easier way? You’ll count for 30 seconds, and multiply by 2 Find your pulse, and begin counting when I say
go. Write down your number and multiply by 2.
STATION #2: HEART DEMO Now pretend you have smoked a cigarette
Nicotine is a stimulant Speeds up the body Speeds up the heart
How can you speed up your heart right now? You will exercise for 60 seconds to speed up
your heart Jumping jacks, run in place, burpees, imaginary
jump rope, star jump…. Now find your new pulse rate Nicotine raises the heart rate in a similar way
