Healthy Families Smoking And Your Kids CONTENTS Lead By Example Understanding The Risks ... The Habit Your Role In Preventing Your Kids From Smoking Lead By Example If you want your child not to smoke, you need to set a good example by not smoking yourself. If both parents smoke, a young person is more than twice as likely to smoke. If you currently smoke, seek help from programs and materials to help you stop. Until you are successful, begin changing your smoking habits. Never smoke inside your home or when you are close to your child, and avoid leaving your child with someone who smokes. Communication Is Key Talking with your kids honestly and openly about the risks of smoking is an essential part of good parenting. It could even save their lives. Here are some tips to consider when talking to your children about smoking: • Teach your children to say "no". Understanding The Risks Teens and even pre-teens are smoking at an alarming rate. Many start smoking by age 11 and are addicted by age 14. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that each day more than 3,000 kids become regular smokers and about one third of these children will eventually die from cancer, heart disease or lung disease. Additional health consequences of smoking include: Children who do not smoke, but are exposed to second hand smoke or sidestream smoke are also at high risk for smoking-related complications. Sidestream smoke rises off the burning end of a cigar or cigarette and is two to three times more harmful than second hand smoke because it does not pass through a filter. Both types of environmental tobacco smokes (ETS) kill thousands of non-smokers annually, increase the risk of coronary artery disease and contribute to lower respiratory tract infection in children. Other health consequences of ETS for children include:

But even though we hear more about breast cancer, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. And nearly all lung cancer deaths in women are due to smoking. Quitting smoking now is one important change you can make to improve your lung and overall health and live longer. Former smokers have a lower risk for lung cancer than do current smokers. In one to nine months after quitting smoking, your lungs will function better. And after 10 years, your risk of lung cancer is nearly the same as someone who never smoked. Should women who smoke be concerned about heart disease?

Is there a safe way to smoke? No. All cigarettes can cause damage to the human body and even a small amount is dangerous. Cigarettes are perhaps the only legal product whose advertised and intended use is harmful to the body and is a proven cause of cancer. Although some people try to make their smoking habit safer by smoking fewer cigarettes, most smokers find that difficult. Some people think that switching from high tar and nicotine cigarettes to those with low tar and nicotine content makes smoking safer, but this is not always true. When people switch to lower tar and nicotine brands, they often smoke more cigarettes or more of each cigarette to get the same nicotine dose as before. A low-tar cigarette can be just as harmful as a high-tar cigarette when a person takes deeper puffs, puffs more frequently, or smokes cigarettes to a lower butt length. Even if smokers who switch to lower tar brands do not make these changes to compensate, the health benefits are insignificant when compared to the benefits of quitting completely.

Heart and Circulation Smoking and Your Heart Audio File Smoking cigarettes is a leading risk factor for the development of heart disease. Smoking doubles the risk of sudden cardiac death and increases your risk of heart attack. When you smoke, your adrenal glands secrete a hormone that causes your blood vessels to constrict, temporarily increasing blood pressure and making your heart work harder. Smoking decreases the amount of oxygen available to your heart, placing an unnecessary burden on your heart and blood vessels. Tobacco smoke contains carbon monoxide gas. When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it attaches to the hemoglobin in the blood, replacing valuable oxygen. The blood has less oxygen to deliver to the cells as it travels to all parts of the body. Smokers' hemoglobin often contains as much as 8% carbon monoxide. Research indicates that carbon monoxide may have a direct, negative effect on the heart muscle itself, on the blood vessels and on blood clotting. Smokers have more fat deposits in the lining of their arteries than nonsmokers.
