Chapter 13 Tobacco Tobacco is Waccko! Lesson 1: Facts About
Tobacco
Vocabulary: (6) Nicotine Addictive Tar Bronchi Carbon Monoxide
Smokeless Tobacco Objectives: Students will: Recognize the various
forms of Tobacco Identify some of the harmful substances in all
forms Tobacco Describe the negative effects Tobacco use can have
onappearance What is Tobacco? Its a woody, shrub like plant with
large leaves.
4,000+ chemicals in tobacco many of them cause cancer One of these
chemicals is: Nicotine. (An addictive drug found in tobacco leaves
and in all tobacco products). What is Tobacco? (cont.) Dangerous
ingredients in tobacco that are addictive (capable of causing a
user to develop intense cravings). These ingredients include:
Nicotine Tar (a thick, oily, dark liquid that formswhen tobacco is
burned) Carbon Monoxide (a poisonous,colorless, odorless gas)
Thousands of others. When smokers inhale, tar deposits form on the
Bronchi (passages through which air enters and spreads through the
lungs) Different Tobacco Products
Cigarettes Cigars and Pipes Specialty Cigarettes Smokeless Tobacco
Cigarettes The most commonly used product that contains
tobacco.
Risks: Emphysema and other lung and heart disease, cancer,
infertility, and stroke. Can Cause: Bad breath, stain teeth and
fingers, and cause the skin to wrinkle prematurely. 400,000+
smokers die each year from smoking related illnesses Cigars and
Pipes Cigars contain larger quantities of the same harmful
substances as cigarettes. ONE large cigar can contain as much
tobacco as a PACK of cigarettes. Pipe smokers use loose tobacco and
usually inhale less than cigarette smokers. Risks: Higher risk of
developing cancer of the mouth, larynx, throat, and dying from
heart disease. Specialty Cigarettes Bidis Kreteks Clove
cigarettes
Flavored, unfiltered cigarettesimported from Southeast Asia.
Kreteks Clove cigarettes Imported from Indonesia andcontain a
mixture of tobacco,cloves, and other additives. Can be more harmful
than regular cigarettes, because they have no filter and they are
not regulated in the U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Smokeless Tobacco
(ground tobacco that is chewed or inhaled through the nose)
Nicotine absorbed from smokeless tobacco is three to four times
greater than the amount delivered by a cigarette. Risks: Cancers of
the mouth, esophagus, larynx, stomach, pancreas. Bad breath, tooth
decay, and gum disease Ch. 13 Lesson 1 Questions What is
nicotine?
Identify and describe the risks associated with three harmful
substances found in all forms of tobacco. What is the most common
form in which tobacco is used? Name three other tobacco products.
Julia is at a party where another girl lights a cigarette. When
Julia points out that smoking is bad for her health, the other girl
shrugs. Im a strong person, she says. I can quit any time I want.
How might Julia reply? Pete chews smokeless tobacco. He uses it
when no one else is around so others do not have to watch him
spitting tobacco juice. Its a win-win situation, says Pete. Do you
agree with Petes point of view? Explain your answer. Lesson 2:
Health Risks of Tobacco Use
Vocabulary: (2) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Cardiovascular Disease Objectives: Students will: Describe how
tobacco use affectsthe body systems. Practice decision making to
protectyour health against tobacco smoke. Tobacco Use is Hazardous
to Your Health
Congress passed a law in 1965 requiring tobacco manufacturers to
print health warnings on cigarette packages. Now they are required
on other tobacco product packaging. How Tobacco Use Affects the
Body
Chemicals in tobacco and tobacco smoke can cause damage to most of
the bodys systems. More damaging to teens because they are still
growing. Some effects are immediate others happen over time. How
Tobacco Use Affects the Body (cont.)
A dry, hacking cough is a long-term effect of smoking and it
indicates that the tobacco has done permanent damage to the smokers
body. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) A condition in
which passages in the lungs become swollen and irritated,
eventually losing their elasticity. Condition includes: Chronic
Bronchitis Asthma Emphysema COPD causes 100,000+ deaths/year How
Tobacco Use Affects the Body
Increased Risk of developing lung cancer Smoking is also a leading
cause of Cardiovascular Disease (a disease of the heart and blood
vessels) Lead to increased cholesterol levels and contributes to
arteriosclerosis hardening of the arteries. These conditions reduce
oxygen flow to the heart, which dramatically increases the risk of
stroke and heart attack. Tobaccos Effect on the Body Ch.13 Lesson 2
Questions What is cardiovascular disease? How is this caused by
smoking? What are some ways that tobacco use damages the
circulatory system? What is the relationship between smoking and
lung cancer? Of the health risks associated with tobacco use, which
one do you consider the most serious? Explain your answer. Why do
you think it is important to put warning labels on cigarette
packages? Lesson 3: Tobacco Addiction
Vocabulary: (6) Tolerance Physical Dependence Psychological
Dependence Withdrawal Nicotine Replacement Therapies Relapse
Objectives: Students will: Explain how a person becomes addicted to
tobacco. Identify the different types of dependence that occur as a
resultof tobacco use. Describe the symptoms of withdrawal. Tobaccos
Web of Addiction
Nicotine is an extremely powerful and addictive drug. When nicotine
is consumed, it interacts with receptors in the brain. The relayed
message: speed up heart and breathing rates. Once those feelings
disappear they leave the user wanting more and tobacco soon becomes
a habit. Once addicted it becomes very difficult to quit. The best
way to prevent tobacco addiction is to NEVER start using tobacco.
Tolerance and Dependence
Develops a tolerance once the body gets used to nicotine. Tolerance
(A process in which the body needs more and more of a drug to get
the same effect.) When the body experiences craving as the nicotine
disappears or is absent then that is a sign of physical dependence
(A type of addiction in which the body itself feels a direct need
for a drug). The mind is also affected when there is an addiction
to a drug which makes people believe that they need it to settle
down. This experience is psychological dependence (An addiction in
which the mind sends the body a message that it needs more of a
drug). Web of Addiction Cravings maybe the cause of certain
triggers which may include certain events, situations, habits. 90%
of adult smokers began smoking before the age of 18. Teens are more
likely to start a habit of using tobacco than people who start at a
later age. Can be a gateway source for other drugs. Breaking the
Tobacco Habit
Some of the damage done by smoking cannot be reversed but it is
never too late to quit using tobacco!!! Steps: Prepare to Stop Get
Support and Encouragement Find Out About Health Services Change
Your Daily Routine Follow a Healthy Lifestyle Withdrawal Some
people quit cold turkey
However a person decides to quit they may experience withdrawal
(physical and psychological reactions that occur when someone stops
using an addictive substance) Physical symptoms may include:
headaches, tiredness, increased hunger, and a jittery, restless
feeling. Nicotine Replacement Therapies NRT (products that assist a
person in breaking a tobacco habit) These products reduce the
amount of nicotine in the body slowly, reducing the symptoms of
withdrawal. Psychological symptoms include: irritability, sudden
cravings for tobacco, and difficulty concentrating or sleeping.
Dealing with Relapse The body undergoes physical changes when a
person no longer uses tobacco. Living without tobacco takes time
and a lot of willpower. Sometimes the symptoms and withdrawals are
so bad that a person picks the habit back up. Relapse (a return to
the use of a drug after attempting to stop) Can be very
Discouraging Most people attempt to quit several times before the
succeed. Ch.13 Lesson 3 Questions Define tolerance. How does a
tolerance to nicotine form? Explain the difference between physical
dependence and psychological dependence. What are the symptoms of
nicotine withdrawal? What specific dangers does trying tobacco pose
for teens? How do nicotine replacement therapies help a person stop
smoking? Lesson 4: Tobaccos Cost to Society
Vocabulary: (4) Secondhand Smoke Sidestream Smoke Mainstream Smoke
Passive Smoker Objectives: Students will: Identify ways in which
tobacco harms nonsmokers. Describe the costs tobacco use has on
society. Tobaccos Many Costs For every dollar spent to spread the
word about the dangers of tobacco, tobacco companies spend $23 on
marketing. Each year tobacco companies spend $12.7 billion on
advertising alone. Whether or not they smoke, U.S. taxpayers pay
around $38 billion each year in federal taxes to treat the many
health problems caused by smoking.Average American household=$320
Old Tobacco Ads Cost to the Individual Studies show that the
average smoker smokes a pack and a half a day. The average price
per pack in most states is $5. (See chart on next slide) Buying
tobacco products is not the only cost of smoking. Smokers pay
higher health insurance rates than nonsmokers. They can also
anticipate on living shorter lives and having more health problems
than nonsmokers. Burning tobacco is a leading cause of forest fires
and fires in the home. Price Per Pack by State:
It Costs How Much?!?! Price Per Pack by State: Kentucky $4.96
Arkansas $6.50 N. Dakota $5.04 New Hampshire $6.59 W. Virginia
$5.07 Utah $6.64 Oklahoma $5.19 California & S. Dakota $6.77
Idaho $5.25 Missouri $5.25 New Mexico $6.91 Louisiana $5.33
Michigan & Pennsylvania $6.95 Oregon $5.35 Wyoming $5.37 Maine
$7.12 Mississippi $5.45 Texas $7.24 Nevada $5.50 Iowa $7.25 S.
Carolina $5.55 D.C. $7.89 Colorado $5.59 Maryland $7.93 Indiana
$5.77 Wisconsin $8.11 Alabama $5.80 Washington $8.31 Virginia $5.81
New Jersey $8.55 Ohio $5.88 Massachusetts $8.77 Tennessee $5.89
Connecticut $9.30 Georgia $5.93 Vermont $9.52 Minnesota $5.95 Rhode
Island $9.56 Florida $6.00 Alaska $9.59 N. Carolina $6.03 Arizona
$9.65 Nebraska $6.09 Hawaii $9.68 Kansas $6.21 Illinois $11.59
Montana $6.25 New York $14.50 Costs to the Nonsmoker Smokers are
not the only people who pay a price for their habit! When a smoker
decides to light up a cigarette, smoke is released into the air
that everyone breathes.This is known as Secondhand smoke
(Environmental tobacco smoke or ETS) ETS is a mixture of two forms
of smoke from burning tobacco products. The first is sidestream
smoke (smoke that comesdirectly from a burning cigarette, pipe, or
cigar.) The second type is mainstream smoke (smoke that isexhaled
by a smoker.) Sidestream smoke contains twiceas much tar and
nicotine as mainstream smoke. Passive smoker (a nonsmoker who
breathes in secondhand smoke.) Passive smokers suffer from many of
the same healthproblems of people who actually smoke
tobaccoproducts. Cost to the Nonsmoker (cont)
An estimated 40,000 nonsmokers die each year from heart disease.
About 3,000 additional nonsmokers die of lung cancer. Secondhand
smoke especially effects children younger than 18 months and people
with asthma. Each year between 150,000 and 300,000 infants and
toddlers develop pneumonia or bronchitis from secondhand smoke.
From those numbers some 15,000 need to be hospitalized. Secondhand
smoke is also estimated to cause between 200,000 to 1 million
asthma attacks each year. Costs to the Unborn Child
Pregnancy and tobacco DO NOT mix. Smoking during pregnancy
increases the risk that the baby will be born too soon and have
developmental problems. Babies born to smoking mothers have: Lower
birth weights The reason being because the baby doesnt get enough
oxygen. The lack of oxygen is caused by the presence of carbon
monoxide gas in the mothers blood. Cost of Lost Productivity
Productivity is a measure of how much a person is able to produce
based on how much time he or she works. People who use tobacco have
lower productivity levels on the job. They are sick more often than
nonsmokers and, therefore, get less done. These results are costly
to businesses. It is estimated that smoking costs the U.S. economy
$80 billion per year in lost productivity. Countering the Costs of
Tobacco
A ban on the manufacture and sale of tobacco products has been
proposed. Many smokers, however, claim that would interfere with
their constitutional rights. Another proposal is to increase the
amount of excise tax on cigarettes. This would make it more costly
to purchase tobacco products and give the government more money to
educate people about the dangers of tobacco use. 2013 Excise Tax in
Each State Ch.13 Lesson 4 Questions What is secondhand smoke? How
does it affect the nonsmoker? How much money do tobacco companies
spend each year on advertising? What is smokings cost to the United
States in terms of business productivity? Why are pregnant women
advised not to smoke? Erin was waiting in line for the movies. When
the man in front of Erin lit a cigarette, a woman standing behind
the man said it was rude. Why? the man asked. Im not hurting anyone
else, am I? How would you respond to this question? Lesson 5:
Choosing to Be Tobacco Free
Vocabulary: (2) Negative peer pressure Point-of-sale promotions
Objectives: Students will: Identify ways teens are influenced to
trytobacco. Explain how to avoid pressure to use tobacco. Describe
the rights of nonsmokers. Why Some Start Using Tobacco
Why would any teen use tobacco?.... Peer Pressure Most teens will
be offered tobacco. Might even be strongly encouraged to use.
Negative peer pressure (pressure you feel to go along with harmful
behaviors or beliefs of others your age.) Other Pressures Some
pressures to smoke can come from indirect sources like: Family
Members Teens who live in homes where tobacco is used are more
likely to use tobacco themselves. Advertising Tobacco companies use
strategies such as point-of-sale promotions (advertising campaigns
in which a product is promoted at a stores checkout counter.) They
effectively capture the attention of shoppers asthey are waiting to
pay. Media TV shows and movies often show characters having fun
while smoking. Good News!!!! Fewer and fewer teens are using
tobacco every year. Staying Tobacco Free Make a commitment to
protect your health now and in the future by staying tobacco free.
90% of adult smokers reported they started before the age of 18. If
you avoid tobacco as a teen chances are you wont ever start
smoking. Resisting negative peer pressure is VERY difficult but
everyone can be strong enough to do it. Staying Tobacco Free Say NO
Tell Why Offer Alternative Promptly Leave
Helpful advise resisting negative peer pressure: Choose friends who
dont do it. Avoid situation where it will be used. Remember S.T.O.P
strategy to help say no. Say NO Tell Why Offer Alternative Promptly
Leave Nonsmokers Rights Everyone has the right to breath air that
is free of tobacco smoke. Laws have been passed in recent years to
protect the rights of nonsmokers. Many local laws forbid smoking in
designated areas such as businesses, schools, and public
transportation vehicles. Ch.13 Lesson 5 Questions What is negative
peer pressure?
Name ways of avoiding pressure to try tobacco. What right is shared
by all nonsmokers? Of all the sources that pressure to smoke can
come from, which do you find the most persuasive, and why? You are
sitting in a nonsmoking area of a restaurant. A person at the next
table lights up. When you point to the nonsmoking sign, the person
extinguishes the cigarette. She then says, You know, smokers have
rights, too. How do you respond?
