COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in America
This is the fourth consecutive year in which women have exceeded men in the number of deaths attributable to COPD.
Smoking is the primary risk factor for COPD.
Approximately 80 to 90 percent of COPD deaths are caused by smoking.
COPD Statistics
A little lung basics…
Normally these air sacs expand when breathing in, and
deflate when breathing air out.
From these tiny spaces (alveoli)
oxygen enters the blood when air is breathed in, and
waste gas (carbon dioxide) is removed from the lungs by
breathing out.

A Little Visual Assistance….
What your dog is doing when you’re not looking…
Emphysema In emphysema there is permanent
destruction of the alveoli or tiny elastic air sacs of the lung. There is also narrowing of the smallest air passages of the lungs or bronchioles, which restricts airflow from the lungs.
Chronic Bronchitis It is basically an inflammation of
the lining of the bronchial tubes which connect the windpipe with the lungs. As a result, air flow to and from the lungs is restricted and a heavy mucus or phlegm is coughed up. Chronic bronchitis may also involve a narrowing of the large and small airways making it more difficult to move air in and out of the lungs.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):Emphysema and Bronchitis
Cigarettes contain more than 4000 chemical compounds and at least 400 toxic substances.
While the smoker is inhaling, a cigarette burns at 700 degrees Celsius at the tip and around 60 degrees in the core.
This heat breaks down the tobacco to produce various poisons. As a cigarette burns, the residues are concentrated towards the butt.
Hot stuff &
battery acid…
They add licorice and cocoa, which sound innocent, except when you burn them they act as bronchodilators -- which makes you inhale more smoke so the nicotine gets further into your body.
Tobacco companies put ammonia in cigarettes which makes your brain absorb more nicotine than it normally would.
In Case Nicotine Wasn’t Enough…
The product they sell kills more people than AIDS, murder, suicide, fires, alcohol and all illegal drugs COMBINED.
Smokers are admitted to hospitals twice as often as nonsmokers.
Smoking is responsible for 87% of the lung cancer deaths in the United States
89% of smokers start before the age of 18
Quick Facts That Count
So it’s safe to say people know that smoking is detrimental to their
health!-why do 3,000 still start
everyday?
Does Knowledge = Behavior The missing link?
"Veni. Vidi.
Vici.”
They spent over $8 billion on advertising in 2004. That’s 14 times the money Nike made that year.
Look at your watch. In the next hour, the tobacco industry will spend nearly $1 million on advertising.

Examples of Canadian Warnings
"It’s a well-known fact that teen-agers like sweet products. Honey might be considered.” - 1972 Brown AND Williamson (Newports) marketing report
"Realistically, if our company is to survive and prosper, over the long term, we must get our share of the youth market. In my opinion this will require new brands tailored to the youth market.”
"Comic strip type copy might get a much higher readership among younger people than any other type of copy.”
“The base of our business is the high school student...It is the ‘in’ brand to smoke if you want to be one of the group.”
- 1973 RJ Reynolds (Camels) memo
Of kids who smoke, 86% smoke the three most heavily advertised brands. The majority of adult smokers don’t smoke those brands
Of all people who have ever tried a cigarette, 88% tried by age 18.
Every day, the tobacco companies get about 3,000 new customers -- kids.

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is responsible for approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths per year among nonsmokers (~40K Deaths total a year)
If both a child's parents smoke, it is the equivalent of the child actively smoking between 60 and 150 cigarettes per year.
After the first month of life, infants of parents who smoke have higher mortality rates through the first year of life
