Death in australia
Smoking tobacco is one of the biggest causes of preventable illness and death in Australia. Researchers estimate that two out of three smokers will die during the course of their lives from the disease caused by their smoking. The most recent estimate of mortality due to tobacco in Australia is for fiscal year 2004-05. This year, tobacco use has caused a total of 14,901 deaths.
Death in victoria
The most recent estimate of deaths caused by tobacco in Victoria is for the fiscal year 2008–09. This year, from the diseases caused by smoking, 3,793 people died. This figure includes the death of 8 children and 27 adults from passive smoking.
Diseases and health problems caused by smoking
Cancer of the lungs, throat, mouth, tongue, nose, nasal sinus, voice box, esophagus, pancreas, stomach, liver, kidney, bladder, ureter, intestine, ovary, cervix, and bone marrow (myelitis-leukemia). Smoking related cancers accounted for about 13% of all cancer cases in 2010.
Heart disease. About 30% of all cases of heart disease in people younger than 65 years are associated with smoking.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPS) includes emphysema and lung disease. Emphysema is rare in non-smokers.
Chronic bronchitis is a recurring cough along with frequent and elevated sputum. This occurs in about half of all heavy smokers.
Stroke. Smokers under 65 years old are about three times more likely to suffer from a stroke than non-smokers of the same age.
Peripheral vascular disease is a contraction of the leg treaties, which can lead to blockage and, in some cases, amputation. Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for this disease.
Aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is a rupture of the lower part of the aorta, leading from the heart. This often leads to sudden death. Cigarette smoking is the main preventable risk factor for this disease.
Type 2 diabetes and a higher risk of diabetes related diseases in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
A peptic ulcer of a liver at persons who are Helicopter pilolor.
Eye diseases such as oracle degeneration and cataracts.
Reduced fertility in women.
Low bone density in older women and hip fractures in both sexes.
Periodontists are a dental disease that affects the gums and bone, supporting the teeth.
Respiratory symptoms, including shortness of breath, cough, sputum, and wheezing. These symptoms occur in both children and adults.
A more rapid decrease in lung function, which is measured by how much air you can exhale during a forced breath. All adults lose their lung function as they age, but this process occurs earlier and faster among smokers.
Lung growth impairment in smoking children and adolescents and early afternoon decline in lung function in late adolescence and in early adulthood.
Problems during pregnancy and childbirth, including limited growth of the fetus and low birth weight, the topic of pregnancy, complications that can lead to bleeding during pregnancy and the need for caesarean section, and reduce the time in the womb and premature birth (the baby is less than 37 weeks). Smoking during pregnancy also causes death in early childhood (especially from sudden infant death syndrome), a decrease in lung function in childhood, and oral crevices (for example, harelip) in infants.
Erectile disfunction. Men who smoke increase the risk of impotence and, possibly, reduce sperm volume, sperm count and sperm quality.
TB disease and death.
Rheumatoid arthritis.
Worse asthma. Asthma smokers have lower asthma control, faster lung function, more infection in the airways and less benefit from some asthma medications than non-asthma smokers.
Smoking as a risk factor
Cigarette smoking is also a risk factor associated with a number of health problems, including:
Breast cancer in women.
Crohn's disease (chronic intestinal disease).
Backache.
Cirrhosis of the liver and bile ducts and pancreas.
Complications during and after surgery, including delayed wound healing and an increased risk of infection, drug interactions, complications of the lungs and difficulty breathing.
Further complications during pregnancy and childbirth, including miscarriage and congenital defects such as clubfoot, heart defects and gastroenteritis (intestines protruding through the hole in the abdominal wall). Smoking during pregnancy also increases the risk that the baby is overweight or obese.
Childhood cancer (hematologist), where the mother or both parents smoked before and during pregnancy.
Pediatric leukemia when the father or both parents smoked before pregnancy.
Periodic pain and early menopause in women. Smoking can increase the risk for painful periods, missed periods and irregular periods. Women may also experience more menopause symptoms.
Face wrinkles tend to occur earlier.
Skin diseases such as suppuration with psoriasis and tendinitis (painful boils or abscesses in the groin and armpit).
Increased susceptibility to bacterial and viral infections, ranging from colds to flu, pneumonia, meningeal diseases, legionnaires' diseases, tuberculosis and bacterial vaginal conditions.
Accidents on cars, death from injuries in accidents, death from a fire in the house and burn injuries.
Alzheimer's disease (dementia) and cognitive (brain function) are decreasing.
Autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis.
Hearing loss
More bad sense of smell and taste.
Lower fitness.
Sleep disturbance
More fat around the abdomen (intestines), which increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and metabolic problems.
Decay and loss of teeth, as well as the rejection of a dental implant.
In combination with contraceptive foods, smoking increases the risk of heart attack and stroke in women. This risk increases dramatically with age, especially at the age of 35 years.
Nicotine also interacts with a number of drugs, affecting how well they work and how they are processed by the body.
