The smoking ban

• From the 1st July 2007 it was illegal to smoke in
  any public place this includes bars, pubs, clubs,
  restaurants, work places, work vehicles.
• If you are found smoking then you are at risk
  from being kicked out and prosecuted.
• The owner of the establishment could also be
  prosecuted.

10
facts

• Around 5.4 million deaths are caused by tobacco.
• smoking is set to kill 6.5 million people in
  2015 and 18.3 million humans 2030.
• Tobacco will kill 1 billion people in the 20th
  century.
• In 1972 just under half of the adults in the uk
  smoked. In 1990 this had dropped to just under a
  third.

Stopping smoking can make a big difference to
your health. It is never too late to stop smoking
to greatly benefit your health. For example, if
you stop smoking in middle age, before having
cancer or some other serious disease, you avoid
most of the increased risk of death due to
smoking.
11
Facts

• Nicotine - a drug that stimulates the brain. If
  you are a regular smoker, when the blood level of
  nicotine falls, you usually develop withdrawal
  symptoms such as craving, anxiety, restlessness,
  headaches, irritability, hunger, difficulty with
  concentration, or just feeling awful. These
  symptoms are relieved by the next cigarette. So,
  most smokers need to smoke regularly to feel
  'normal', and to prevent withdrawal symptoms.

• Lung cancer. About 30,000 people in the UK die
  from lung cancer each year. More than 8 in 10
  cases are directly related to smoking.

12
Smoking while pregnant

• Miscarriage.
• Complications of pregnancy, including bleeding
  during pregnancy, detachment of the placenta,
  premature birth, and ectopic pregnancy.
• Low birth weight. Babies born to women who smoke
  are on average 200 grams (8 oz) lighter than
  babies born to comparable non-smoking mothers.
  Premature and low birth weight babies are more
  prone to illness and infections.
• Congenital defects in the baby such as cleft
  palate.
• Stillbirth or death within the first week of life
  the risk is increased by about one-third.
• Poorer long-term growth, development, and health
  of the child. On average, compared to children
  born to non-smokers, children born to smokers are
  smaller, have lower achievements in reading and
  maths, and have an increased risk of developing
  asthma.

13
Affecting other people.

• Children and babies who live in a home where
  there is a smoker
• are more prone to asthma and ear, nose and chest
  infections. About 17,000 children under five
  years old in England and Wales are admitted to
  hospital each year due to illnesses caused by
  their parents smoking.
• have an increased risk of dying from cot death
  (sudden infant death syndrome).
• are more likely than average to become smokers
  themselves when older.
• on average, do less well at reading and reasoning
  skills compared to children in smoke-free homes,
  even at low levels of smoke exposure.
• are at increased risk of developing chronic
  obstructive pulmonary disease and cancer as
  adults.

14
Affecting other people

• Passive smoking of adults. You have an increased
  risk of lung cancer and heart disease if you are
  exposed to other people smoking for long periods
  of time. Tobacco smoke is also an irritant, and
  can make asthma and other conditions worse.
• Unborn babies. Described in pregnancy section
  above.

Your breath, clothes, hair, skin, and home smell
of stale tobacco. You do not notice the smell if
you smoke, but to non-smokers the smell is
usually obvious and unpleasant. Your sense of
taste and smell are dulled. Enjoyment of food and
drink may be reduced. Smoking is expensive.
Life insurance is more expensive. Finding a job
may be more difficult as employers know that
smokers are more likely to have sick leave than
non-smokers. More than 34 million working days
(1 of total) are lost each year because of
smoking-related sick leave. Potential
friendships and romances may be at risk
15
facts

• Carbon monoxideCarbon monoxide is a poisonous
  gas found in car fumes, which reduces the amount
  of oxygen carried in the blood. Oxygen is vital
  for the bodys organs to function efficiently.
  The reduction in oxygen changes the consistency
  of the blood, making it thicker and putting the
  heart under increased strain as it pumps blood
  around the body. Carbon monoxide impairs
  absorption of essential nutrients and affects
  growth and repair of the body and is linked to
  heart disease, stroke and other circulatory
  problems.
• Tar Tar contains many substances proven to cause
  cancer. Irritants found in tar damage the lungs
  causing narrowing of the tubes (bronchioles) and
  damaging the small hairs (cilia) that protect the
  lungs from dirt and infection.

16
problems

• Cancers
• Lung cancer
• Mouth, throat and nose cancer
• Cancer of the larynx
• Oesophageal cancer
• Pancreatic cancer
• Bladder cancer
• Stomach cancer
• Kidney cancer
• Leukaemia
• Respiratory disease

what smoking does to your lungs
Cigarettes and thats all of them, even
so-called light or low tar brands - contain over
4,000 chemicals, including at least 60 that
increase your risk of cancer. They also contain
nicotine, which isn't thought to cause cancer
itself, but is the reason why you crave one in
the first place. You see, when you smoke, your
brain grows more receptors that thrive on
nicotine. Then, when you quit, these receptors no
longer get the nicotine they need and thats
what causes the cravings.

smoking near children
Smokers 'ignore risk to children' Smokers 'ignore risk to children' Smokers 'ignore risk to children'

Smoking near children is very dangerous. If their
parents have smoked around them than they have
more of a chance to develop breathing problems
like asthma.
TV advert on the dangers of smoking near children Many parents are ignoring warnings about smoking near their children, NHS research suggests. Almost two-fifths (39) of teenagers quizzed were exposed to smoke in the home when younger, while 13 were exposed to it in cars. The poll of 500 children coincides with the relaunch of adverts showing the risks of smoking near children. They were highlighted by Sol Rickman, five, who has the "lungs of a pensioner" due to his mother's habit. Sol developed breathing difficulties and when surgeons operated on him they said his lungs looked like those of a lifelong smoker. His mother has since kicked her 20-a-day habit.
