WHAT RISKS IF I SMOKE
TOBACCO?
Cancers, respiratory
diseases and cardiovascular diseases (related to the heart and arteries) are
the main consequences of smoking.
Cancers and tobacco
Tobacco is linked to
one-third of all cancers. Every year, several thousand people die in our
country because of their smoking.
Lung cancer, the most
common.
Cancers of the nasal
cavity, mouth, throat, pancreas, bladder, cervix, etc.

OF CANCERS LINKED TO TOBACCO
Respiratory diseases
Smoking is responsible
for the majority of lung diseases called "chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease" or COPD. The best known are chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
Smokers suffer more
from complications related to asthma.
Smoking also promotes
lung infections.
Cardiovascular
illnesses
Angina pectoris, heart
failure and myocardial infarction are more common and more severe in smokers.
Smoking increases the
risk of thrombosis, which causes stroke and obstruction of the lower extremity
arteries.
Women who combine
contraceptive pill use and smoking increase their risk of developing this type
of complication.
Other less known
consequences of smoking
The daily presence in
the blood of several thousands of toxic substances weakens and affects the
whole of our organism:
Bones: early
osteoporosis, a weakening of the bones that promotes bone fractures, with
serious consequences for the elderly.
The pancreas (the
gland that produces insulin and regulates blood sugar): a direct effect on
diabetes.
The thyroid gland:
disruption of function and risk of goitre formation (increased thyroid volume).
Sexuality: harmful
action of tobacco on the arteries in general and on the genitals in particular,
which can lead to problems of erection in humans. Genital lubrication is
decreased in women.
Immunity of the body:
Decreased immunity leads to an increased risk of infections.
Fertility: The
menopause is earlier, which decreases the fertility of the woman at term. In humans,
the quantity and quality of sperm are diminished.
The fetus: During the
first weeks of life of the fetus, the formation of organs can be disrupted. The
risk of malformations, eg palate (cleft lip), is greater in women who smoke
during the first months of pregnancy. Children whose mothers smoked during
pregnancy are more likely to develop diabetes later. Smoking (active or
passive) has harmful effects on the fetal thyroid gland. We also see that at
birth, some babies have a real state of craving because their brain has been
impregnated with nicotine during pregnancy.
