Smoking kills –
that’s no surprise. It
eats away at your
health and slowly
robs you of life’s
pleasures.
moking causes a wide array of health problems, including
cancer, heart disease, stroke and lung disorders. Here’s a
run-down on how it can ruin your body.
Skin
Smoking speeds up the aging process and increases the
appearances of premature wrinkles. If you have just started
smoking, you may not see the effects until about 10 years
later. You can easily identify a smoker by the face, hence the
term ‘smoker’s face.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Smoking is the main cause of COPD. It is a progressive and
incurables disease in which the airways and lungs are
damaged due to chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the tubes
that carry air into the lungs) and emphysema (loss of elasticity
of the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs). Patients with
COPD suffer from breathing difficulties, which can lead to
death.. COPD is expected to be the third leading causes of
deaths globally by 2020.
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) increases the risk
of heart attack and stroke. It happens due to the accumulation
of fatty deposits on the inner walls of arteries. The heart has
to work harder to pump blood through narrowed, clogged
arteries. Atherosclerosis occurs more often and more severely
in- you guessed it –smokers.
Angina pectoris
Smoking reduces the amount of oxygen circulating in
the body. Angina pectoris, or chest pain, happen when
the heart muscle don’t get enough oxygen during
exertion. Smoking also makes the heart beat faster and
this increases the need for oxygen, so the heart pumps
even harder.
Osteoporosis
Smoking leads to decreased bone density, or
osteoporosis. When the bone becomes porous, the risk
of the fracture increases. Studies have shown that
smokers who have a fracture suffer from more
complications, besides taking a longer time to heal,
compared to non-smokers.
Infertility
Cigarette smoking is strongly linked to infertility and
sudden infant death syndrome, even if it is from inhaling
second-hand smoke. Male smokers tend to have lower
sperm count and poor sperm quality. Erectile
dysfunction is also more common among smokers.
Women who are exposed to second-hand cigarette
smoke tend to take longer to conceive, while smokers
have difficulty carrying a pregnancy to full term. The risk
of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy (abnormal pregnancy
outside the womb), low birth weight and preterm babies 5
is higher among pregnant smokers.

Stroke
The Framingham Heart Study found that heavy smokers (more than 40 cigarettes a day) have twice the risk of stroke
than light smokers (less than 10 sticks a day). But here’s the good news – within 2 years of quitting, stroke risk falls
significantly, and within 5 years, the risk is the same as for non –smokers.
Cancer
Smoking is leading cause of cancer, especially of the lung, esophagus, larynx (voice box), mouth, throat, kidney,
bladder, pancreas, stomach and cervix. Smoking can cause acute myeloid leukaemia, a type of blood cancer.
Cholesterol
Tobacco smoke interacts with high blood cholesterol and increases you risk of heart disease. Smokers also have lower
level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the good cholesterol that helps reduce plaque formation in the
arteries.
Heart attack
Tobacco smoke is a major risk factor for the heart disease, beside hypertension, hypercholesterolemia ( high
cholesterol), obesity, diabetes and a sedentary lifestyle. The risk of getting heart attack doubles for a person who
smokes a pack a day. And if the person continues to smoke after a heart attack, there is a greater risk of second heart
attack.
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD)
Smoking constricts blood vessels. When this happens to the arteries carrying blood to the leg and arm muscles, it is
known as PVD. A narrowed artery may be blocked by a blood clot. This may lead to incessant infection / inflammation of
a limb, which may lead to amputation in severe cases.
Circulation
The nicotine release in cigarette smoke temporarily increase blood pressure, heart rate and the amount of blood
pumped by the heart. It also increases blood flow in the arteries of the heart, while constricting the arteries in the arms
and legs. Cigarette smoke also contains carbon monoxide, which reduces the availability of the oxygen in the blood,
heart and all other part of the body. Tobacco smoke makes blood clot faster, as well as multiplies blood clots in the
body. This puts the smoker at the risk of cardiovascular disease, more so if the person has hypertension.

Modern industrial
hygiene, vol.1-3
Jimmy L. Perkins
Each time I teach my course Risk Recognition, Evaluation and
Control in the Workplace for Physical, Chemical, Biological and
Radiological Hazards (Comprehensive Industrial Hygiene Review),
the student ask: ‘’ Is there a textbook that goes with this course?” At
present, and even more so in the future, the best answer may well be
Modern Industrial Hygiene by Professor Jimmy Perkins. This book,
volume 1, is the first of four books that, when completed, will address
the complete subjects that make up the sciences and the art of
industrial hygiene.
This first volume covers the subjects of, for example:
• What is industrial hygiene?
• The history of industrial hygiene;
• Toxic chemicals in the workplace;
• Occupational exposure routes;
• The physical nature of gases, vapors and aerosols; and
• Methods and strategies of qualitative exposure assessment.
Some of the most current and complexes information can be found in
the three subject areas. These are [1] process and their chemicals
hazards, [2] sampling strategies and statistics, and [3] field and
laboratory analytical chemistry, as follows:
•
Industrial processes and their toxic chemicals which chapter
includes: abrasive blasting; boilers and furnaces; confined spaces;
diesel engines; electroplating; grinding, polishing and buffing;
laboratories; machining and cutting oils; metal surfaces treatment;
painting; plastics; and welding and allied processes;
•
Statistical approaches treatment of field and laboratory data,
which chapters focus on mathematical modeling, including;
emission rate modeling; dilatation and mixing; analysis of
distributions; variability and confidences intervals; analysis of
variance; and determinants of exposure, all of which, taken
together can guide the industrial hygienist in preparing
strategies for quantitative surveying in workplace.
•
Method of sampling, analysis and monitoring of gases and
vapors, which chapters focus on laboratory analysis; sampling
of gases, vapors and aerosol; real time monitoring of air
contaminants; and quality control and quality assurances in
analytical laboratories.
Volume 2 in the Modern Industrial Hygiene series was published
by AGGIH in 2003. It deals with ‘’ Biological Aspects’’ which
includes the subject of ergonomics. Volume 3 will deal with
Control of Chemical Agents.’’ Volume 4 will deal with ‘’ Physical
Agents’ including noise, vibration, pressure, heat and cold,
ionizing and non- ionizing radiation. It is important to note that the
four volumes in this series are, and will be, a tour-de-force- for
Professors Perkins. Although he has authors and assistance with 7
many of the chapters, all of the material was either edited or has
been written by him. Professor Perkins’ mastery of the body of
knowledge that is industrial hygiene will be a benchmarks for us
all.
