1492-11 Rodrigo de Jerez and Luis de Torres Discover Smoking
Rodrigo de Jerez and Luis de Torres, in Cuba searching for the Khan of Cathay (China), are credited with first observing smoking. They reported that the natives wrapped dried tobacco leaves in palm or maize "in the manner of a musket formed of paper." After lighting one end, they commenced "drinking" the smoke through the other. Jerez became a confirmed smoker, and is thought to be the first outside of the Americas. - became the First European Smoker http://logicophilosophicus.org

Jean Nicot 1530-1600
• French diplomat who introduced tobacco to the French court.
• 1560, while serving as ambassador in Portugal, he was shown a tobacco plant in the garden of Lisbon botanist Damião de Goes, who claimed it had healing properties.
• Nicot sent home seeds and leaves of tobacco, recommending its therapeutic value. Nicot also sent snuff to Catherine de Medici, the Queen of France to treat her migraine headaches.
• She was impressed with its results. The tobacco plant, Nicotiana tabacum, and its active substance, nicotine, derive their names from him. http://www.britannica.com

More than 4000 chemicals have been identified in cigarette smoke – some of them are shown)
Carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin in red blood cells, preventing affected cells from carrying a full load of oxygen.
Carcinogens in tobacco smoke damage important genes that control the growth of cells, causing them to grow abnormally or to reproduce too rapidly.
Smoking affects the working of the immune system and may increase the risk for respiratory and other infections.

India - 10 lakh (1 million) victims study
How Times of India reported the
‘10 lakh victims’ landmark study; March 2008
Conclusions of the study:• In 2010, smoking estimated to cause about 930,000 adult deaths in India; of the dead, about 70% (90,000 women and 580,000 men) will be between the ages of 30 and 69 years.• Because of population growth, the absolute number of deaths in this age group is rising by about 3% per year.• Among 30-69 year-olds studied, smoking doubled the risk of death from any medical cause among women and increased this risk by 70% among men;• Tobacco was responsible for 1 in 5 of all male deaths and 1 in 20 of all female deaths in middle age (30-69 years);• Daily smoking of even a small amount of tobacco was associated with an increased death rate.
• Compared with non-smokers, smokers had greater rates of deaths that were chiefly due to tuberculosis (women three times the risk, men 2.3 times the risk of dying from TB); excess deaths also resulted from respiratory and vascular diseases, as well as from cancers.

Second-hand tobacco smoke is toxic
• Combination of smoke emitted from the burning end of a tobacco product and smoke exhaled by the smoker
• Contains thousands of known chemicals
• 250 toxins or known carcinogens
No safe level of exposure

Magnitude of SHS exposure is high
• Most workers are not protected from SHS exposure
• Worldwide, for children in school aged 13-15, – 44% are exposed to smoke in the home,
and – 56% are exposed in public places (data from 132 countries)

Industry secrets reveal ‘true colours’Industry documents, now reviewed and cited in many reports and publications provide evidence of how the tobacco corporations:•knew their products were harmful;•knew that nicotine was highly addictive;•publicly denied the dangers of tobacco use and exposure to second-hand smoke and the addictiveness of tobacco use; and•continued to target young people with advertising and promotions to perpetuate the use of their products

Evidence shows… The Tobacco Industry spends billions each year
- misinforming governments, politicians, businesses, public
- hiding health harm, duping smokers- targeting young people and users with advertising, promotions and sponsorships- opposing tobacco control legislation and policies
If these tactics are not countered they will succeed in further blocking and delaying reforms leading to more preventable loss of life, chronic diseases and costs
