Tobacco use is responsible for nearly one in five deaths in the United States. Although the number of cardiovascular deaths is declining, smoking-related cancer deaths continue to rise. Since 1987, more women have died each year from lung cancer than breast cancer, which was the major cause of cancer death in women for over 40 years. Approximately half of all continuing smokers die prematurely from smoking. Of these, approximately half die in middle age (35-69), losing an average of 20 to 25 years of life expectancy. In addition to being responsible for 87% of lung cancers, smoking is also associated with cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, pancreas, uterine cervix, kidney, and bladder. Smoking accounts for at least 29% of all cancer deaths, is a major cause of heart disease (heart attack, stroke, arteriosclerosis), and is associated with conditions ranging from colds and gastric ulcers to chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and cerebrovascular disease.

Cigarette Smoking Cigarette smoking is the single largest preventable cause of disease and death in the United States. It is estimated that over 400,000 Americans die each year from diseases linked to cigarette smoking. Women who smoke cannot avoid the problems related to smoking. Each cigarette does some harm. Even young women can have health problems caused by smoking. The average cigarette smoker shortens her life by 5-8 years. Lung cancer and lung disease, heart attack, stillbirth (delivery of a baby that shows no sign of life), miscarriage (the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy before the fetus can survive outside the uterus), and low birth weight babies (weighing less than 5 1/2 pounds at birth) are all linked to cigarette smoking. Lung cancer has become the number one cancer killer of women in some states. More American women die from lung cancer than from breast cancer. As many as 29% of American women smoke cigarettes. The number of female smokers aged 12-18 years has doubled in 10 years. More teenage girls than boys now smoke. And the number of women smoking more than one pack of cigarettes per day is increasing.

As part of your assessment, you oral health professional will ask you a series of lifestyle-related questions, including whether you are a smoker, and if so, how long you have been smoking. Dental hygienists are trained to advise you on the hazards of tobacco use, to show you the effects of smoking and support your decision to stop smoking. While the effects of smoking on your lungs, heart and other organs are not visible to the naked eye, your dental hygienist can easily see the evidence in your mouth.

The news that the risks of passive smoking may not be as great as previously believed was reported by nine newspapers on 16 May 2003 (1-9). Although the reports were generally accurate, the research came from a single study which should be interpreted in the context of the existing scientific literature. The news that the risks of passive smoking may not be as high as previously believed was reported by nine newspapers on 16 May 2003 (1-9). Most of the newspapers commented that exposure to tobacco smoke from a spouse was not significantly associated with an increased risk of dying from coronary heart disease or lung cancer. The research study (10) found no significant associations between current or former exposure to tobacco smoke from a spouse and mortality from heart disease or lung cancer. The researchers claimed that the association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and coronary heart disease and lung cancer may be considerably weaker than generally believed. However active cigarette smoking was found to be strongly, positively associated with death from coronary heart disease, lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Most of the newspapers were broadly accurate in their reporting of this study. However only the

ASH publications Tobacco is unique: the only product that kills when used normally - 120,000 deaths per year in the UK. ASH is leading the fight to control the tobacco epidemic and to confront the lies and dirty tricks of the tobacco industry. This is how the world's biggest tobacco company explains how smoking works: "Smoking a cigarette for the beginner is a symbolic act. 'I am no longer my mother's child, I'm tough, I am an adventurer, I'm not square' ... As the force from the psychological symbolism subsides, the pharmacological effect takes over to sustain the habit." ASH exists to stop this process of glamorisation followed by addiction. We don't condemn individual smokers nor do we want tobacco outlawed. We press for measures that will steadily marginalize tobacco in society ASH discussion forum
