Related Articles [Effects of Active and Passive Smoking on the Health of Children and Adolescents.] Pneumologie. 2008 Jul 3; Authors: Rosewich M, Adler S, Zielen S Tobacco abuse is especially a public health problem among children and teenagers in Germany. While the proportion of adolescents Smoking regularly was 18 % in 1997, this has increased to more than 30 % in 2001. The high impact of peer groups in young people aggravates the development of Smoking habits. Furthermore, an addiction to nicotine develops mainly before the age of 20 (80 % of all adults smokers have started as teenagers). Early and continued damage to health will result in long-term sequelae due to immaturity of the organs. Fortunately, the proportion of Smoking adolescents has decreased in the last few years. Besides the well known effects of active Smoking, children are especially endangered by environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). Exposure to cigarette smoke during pregnancy is directly correlated to premature rupture of the membranes, premature birth, delayed foetal development, and reduced lung function. Children are suffering from impairments of their health not only due to ETS exposure in utero but also after birth (e. g., diseases of upper and lower airways, delayed physical and mental development). Therefore, the prevention of active and Passive Smoking must be intensified and should consider the special situation of children and adolescents. PMID: 18600616 [Pu ...

Related Articles Effect of different types of Smoking and synergism with hepatitis C virus on risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in American men and women: Case-control study. Int J Cancer. 2008 Aug 7; Authors: Hassan MM, Spitz MR, Thomas MB, El-Deeb AS, Glover KY, Nguyen NT, Chan W, Kaseb A, Curley SA, Vauthey JN, Ellis LM, Abdalla E, Lozano RD, Patt YZ, Brown TD, Abbruzzese JL, Li D The International Agency for Research on Cancer has declared Smoking to be a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, Passive exposure to cigarette smoke and use of noncigarette tobacco products on the risk of HCC has not been examined. Therefore, we evaluated the independent effects of different types of Smoking exposure along with multiple risk factors for HCC and determined whether the magnitude of Smoking was modified by other risk factors in men and women. We conducted a case-control study at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center where 319 HCC patients and 1,061 healthy control subjects were personally interviewed for several HCC risk factors. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each potential risk factor. Use of smokeless tobacco (chewing tobacco and snuff), cigars, pipes and Passive Smoking exposure were not related to HCC among noncigarette smokers. However, regular cigarette Smoking was associated with HCC in men: AOR, ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 43 days ago

Kathmandu Univ Med J (KUMJ). 2007 Oct - Dec;5(20):484-487 Authors: Pokharel PK, Pokharel P, Bhatta NK, Pandey RM, Erkki K Background: Bronchial asthma is one of the most common illnesses in children. Factors influencing development of asthma have not been studied in rural population. Materials and methods: Two thousand school-going children from three schools of Sonapur VDC, Sunsari in the surrounding of industries were screened for the presence of symptoms of asthma using a questionnaire suggested by International Study of Asthma and Allergy in Children (ISSAC). Results: One hundred twenty children were identified with symptoms of bronchial asthma. For each child with asthma two age and sex matched non-asthmatic control were selected from the study population. History, clinical examination and in-depth interview were carried out for all cases and controls. Factors associated with presence of symptoms of asthma on multivariate analysis were: Passive Smoking (OR 3.33, 95% CI 1.85-7.65), pets at home (OR 5.5, 95% CI 1.04-29.15), and absence of windows in living rooms (OR 4.03, 95% CI 1.17-13.79). Factors such as family history of asthma, history of worm infestation, fuel used for cooking, location of kitchen and food allergy were not significant in statistical analysis. Conclusion: Thus, Passive Smoking, inadequate ventilation and domestic animals and pets (dogs and cats) a ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 25 days ago

Antioco) far from the industrial area of Portovesme, the respiratory risk associated to cigarette Smoking and environmental pollution was evaluated by the ISAAC questionnaire and standardized spirometry. The prevalence of parent's Smoking was high in both groups (66.3% and 59.4%). Smoking during pregnancy was reported by 15% of mothers, without significant differences between the two schools. The prevalence of smokers among students was similar comparing the two groups (7% vs 6%). The prevalence of asthma in the whole population was significantly associated to skin positivity to common allergens, to the familiarity for asthma and to the environmental tobacco Smoking, particularly if maternal. Spirometric values were significantly lower among students living in Portoscuso than among those of the S. Antioco school, with an evident interaction between the residential factor and the tobacco Smoking, active and/or Passive, in reducing the forced end- expiratory flows. Our results support the significant role of tobacco Smoking, active and Passive, particularly if derived from ... Source: blogs.telegraph.co.uk --- 28 days ago

Stephen Pound MP (left) used to be a member of Forest. Today, writing in the Independent , he explains (not for the first time) "why I threw away my cigarettes the day after voting for the ban". He did the same the day after the vote (in February 2006) when he appeared on the Today programme to announce his sudden flip-flop conversion. Pound's "moment of epiphany" was apparently the result of listening to Deborah Arnott of ASH ("calm and realistic") and Dr Richard Taylor, "the independent MP for the Wyre Forest, who was scarily scientific in his description of the foul chemical-sodden composition of what I had thought was sun-dried organic Virginia tobacco". Ignoring the evidence on Passive Smoking (which a House of Lords committee subsequently confirmed did NOT justify a comprehensive ban), Pound chose to conclude that "while I had a right to kill myself slowly I had no such right to visit a long, lingering and agonising death on those around me". Politicians are busy people and it is understandable if, on occasion, they take their cue from one or two so-called "experts". When, however, you are about to vote on an issue that could have serious social and economic consequences for millions of people, surely you do a bit more research? Politicians.

Much of the research on the topic has focused on the bad company it tends to keep, from depression and overeating to Smoking and drug use. Yet boredom is more than a mere flagging of interest or a precursor to mischief. Some experts say that people tune things out for good reasons, and that over time boredom becomes a tool for sorting information — an increasingly sensitive spam filter. it is far from a Passive neural shrug.
