The effects of cigarette's smoke for passive smokers

Do you still remember about my post regarding the dangerous effects of smoking? In this post, I will discuss about the smoke effects of passive smokers. Many people, both adults and children, inadvertently also experiencing the impact of smoking because they are often being around people who are active smokers. While not an active smoker, someone who intentionally or unintentionally will come too feel the effects of toxins contained in cigarettes.

Many studies have proven that people who do not smoke also tend to be at risk of the disease seen in people who smoke. Here are some of the risk of disease that may be suffered by passive smokers.

Risk of disease in adults:

• Effects on brain and psyche, Stroke
• Unsmellgood hair
• Watery eyes, blindness
• Irritation of nose
• Lung cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma, Emphysema
• Arterial vessel blockage, heart attack, angina
• In pregnant women; Low Birth Weight Infants (LBW), spontaneous miscarriage, stillbirth, complications during childbirth

Risk of disease in children:

• Unsmellgood hair
• Associated with brain tumors, a long-term effect, and effect on the psychiatric
• Watery eyes, blindness
• Chronic Otitis Media
• Pneumonia, Asthma, chronic respiratory symptoms and lung function decline
• Decreased absorption of oxygen
• Increased absorption of nicotine
• Associated with lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes)

In fact, new research proves that passive smokers have a longer recovery if injured. The researchers believe this is because the body's cells are exposed to secondhand smoke is difficult to move into areas that suffered injuries. The results mentioned a result of cigarette smoke fibroblast cells, which help repair damaged tissue glue and become less active movements. The cells were attached to the connective tissue because cigarette smoke alter its chemical composition. The research was conducted at the University of California team.

Commenting on the results of earlier studies, researchers in Britain said the slow effects of smoking on wound healing has long been known, it's just so far is very difficult to see the effects on passive smokers.

In the journal BMC Cell Biology, researchers from the University of California believes the influence of tobacco smoke on nonsmokers with current smokers. In passive smokers, in addition to slow wound healed, leaving scars also abnormal. This is due to tissue cells are concentrated just on the edge of the wound, so that the wounds did not close the back perfectly.

Experiments conducted on rats showed that rats exposed to smoke for 6 months, wounds heal more slowly. In mice, which is free from cigarette smoke, 95 percent of the wounds completely closed again, after seven days. Meanwhile, those who inhale secondhand smoke wound closed only 85 percent.

All these facts make us aware of how exposure to cigarette smoke is so damaging effect, especially for passive smokers. The results of this study addressed with caution. Dr Stuart Enoch who works at the University of Wales College of Medicine, said the results of research on passive smoking is very interesting, but must be addressed carefully. He said, exposure to all harmful substances, not just smoke cigarettes, a bad influence on fibroblast cells. "Exposure to hazardous substances in humans is a lot of variables," he said.

If you are a passive smoker, try as early as possible to invite the people around you stop smoking. If you are an active smoker you may be interested to read the 10 natural ways to stop smoking.
