Why in all civilized countries, people quit smoking
.
and in Russia, more lights? Because our people do not know the whole truth about the dangers of tobacco use, experts say, while in the West for this powerful prevention programs work.
Even among doctors we smokes 70% in the United States - only 2%.
Smoking - leading preventable factor that affects the health of the population in developed countries. And more than that on public health in developing countries. The fight against smoking in developed countries encourages cigarette manufacturers to seek new markets.
Tobacco companies have invested nearly $ 2 billion in the development of the production of cigarettes in Russia - 5% of all foreign investment in the Russian economy after the collapse of the Soviet Union. These funds allow corporations to influence the short-sighted policy, but does not make the country richer.
If the Russians do not smoke, male life expectancy in Russia rose to 6 years and women - 3 years. This is without taking into account non-fatal consequences of smoking.
Tobacco companies do not want the number of smokers decreased, and therefore the bribe politicians and scientists, deceive the public and hide the truth about tobacco: a classic example is the trial that followed the exposure of research funded by tobacco companies in order to conceal the true extent of the harm of tobacco.
Tobacco kills smokers.
It is the only product that when used as directed, even in small doses, negatively affects health. Satisfy your craving for smoking, smokers die 10 years earlier. This decrease in life expectancy does not increase its quality, which is reduced even with little experience of smoking by reducing physical fitness, fatigue, poor health and other diseases.
Smoking reduces the potency. In addition to green phlegm, yellow skin, bad breath and bad teeth tobacco is the cause of many diseases and shortens life. Smoking caused at least 90% of the cases of lung cancer, 15-20% of other cancers, 75% of cases of chronic bronchitis and emphysema, 25% of deaths from cardiovascular disease.
Smoking harms and kills the people around the smoker.
Side stream smoke emitted by cigarettes is torque 4 times carcinogenic (cancerous) and harmful smoke drawn through low combustion temperatures. In this connection, passive smoking is almost a half less harmful than active. Passive smoking reduces life by an average of 5 years.
In Russia, many children live in smoke-filled apartments, many occupations (waiter, barman) associated with passive smoking daily. Smoking harms and kills children. Smoking before and especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding significantly harm the child's health and increases the risk of several diseases throughout his life.
The risk of neonatal death is increased in smokers is about 2 times, and even those who "sometimes indulge in cigarettes" - at least 10%. Smoking increases when children have the risk of nicotine dependence and later - smoking with all its consequences.
Smoking is highly addictive, comparable in strength to heroin.
According to a study conducted by one of the world's largest tobacco companies (Imperial Tobacco, 1989): "Within 6 months 43% of smokers have tried to quit smoking, but only 1, 8% did it. 72% of women quit smoking during pregnancy resume smoking after giving birth. Start smoking again after surgery 50% of patients with lung cancer and 40% of patients with cancer of the larynx. "
The majority of smokers want to quit smoking.
And in the long term if there is a supportive environment, and in some cases, qualified medical help to quit smoking, you can (not always the first time, and not always easy). In some countries where there are such favorable conditions, quit smoking for nearly 40% of smokers.
There is no safe tobacco.
The impact of "light", "mild" cigarettes and other health is no different from any other cigarette, it is only a subtle marketing ploy tobacco companies aimed at deceiving smokers. Compliance with quality standards (eg guests), presence of filters, treatment of tobacco does not influence its harmful as smoking man himself dispenses smoke, get plenty of harmful substances due to more frequent and deeper puffs.
Anyone who speaks of a safe and high-quality cigarettes in the context of health, or illiterate, or (and this happens more often) work on the tobacco companies. Cigarette manufacturers immoral and cynical misinform consumers.
Tobacco advertising and other marketing moves are not aimed at an attempt to divide the market to competitors, and to increase the size of the market at the expense of women and children (as the number of male smokers is already close to the maximum).
Halo adulthood and masculinity around smoking - a method to make our children smokers. Glamour, psevdoseksualnost, subtle elegance of menthol cigarettes - a way to increase the number of smokers.
