  • Kajenje, KOPB, odvajanje in še kaj = Smoking, COPB, smoking cessation and more
    Turel, Matjaž
    Cigarette smoking is one of the most important preventable causes of morbidityand mortality in the developed world. It has been proved that cigarette smoke contains several thousand different ... substances and that some of them are not only pharmacologically active, but also cytotoxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. The drug responsible for smoking dependency is nicotine. The most common causes of early morbidity and mortality among smokers include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer and atherosclerosis. Approximately 85% of deaths due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 20% of deaths due to coronary heart disease are smoking-related. Only 10% of people suffering from lung cancer are nonsmokers.The newborns of mothers who smoke have on average 170 g lower body weight compared to those whose mothers are nonsmokers. Smoking cessation dramatically lowers the risk of smoking-related morbidity. It is the responsibility of physicians to continually remind smokers of the risks they are exposing themselves to and to help them cease smoking. There are also several pharmacological substances available to help them achieve this goal.
