A new excuse to smoke | Deccan Chronicle | 2010-11-22

Seems like the tobacco bars have paid the news paper to write this article! It is included in the section Glam sham!!Clever!! How conveniently it misses out on mentioning about nicotine, tobacco or addiction. Shamefully, they also mention about the rates... For all the work that we do in discouraging the youngsters from taking up to substance abuse and addiction..one such irresponsible article can undo all the efforts!!

Guys let us all write to the editor Deccan Chronicle... Lets point out the glaring mistake in publishing such irresponsible articles.. Go! Ayushmantra!

Smoke exposure ups risk of ADHD

SYDNEY: Children exposed to secondhand smoke have significantly higher rates of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), headache and stuttering than those who are not exposed.

A study conducted by American scientists, and presented at the Asia Pacific Conference on Tobacco or Health on Friday revealed children exposed to secondhand smoke had double the rate of both ADHD (10.6% compared to 4.6%) and stuttering (6.3%% compared to 3.5%), and an increased occurrence of headaches (14.2% compared to 10.0%). Adolescents also had significantly higher rates of headaches (26.5% compared to 20.0%). This finding could have serious implications for India, which is home to 10% of world's smokers.

Researcher Wendy Max, Professor of Health Economics at the University of California in San Francisco, said results showed children's exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke could have a negative impact on their learning and education as well as their health and all-round wellness. "Our research shows children who are exposed to tobacco smoke are impacted in three different areas of their development. These physical and mental problems are a disadvantage to a child's cognitive and social development," Prof Max said.

"Kids in countries with high smoking prevalence are most vulnerable. As smoking rates in developed countries fall, burden of childhood exposure to secondhand smoke will be disproportionately borne by countries that already face economic disadvantages," he added.

High fat diet, tobacco are cancer triggers

Tobacco is one of the biggest culprits of cancer. "We need some legislation. People need to be informed. A bill has to be there," the expert said, adding, "What is the use of telling people tobacco is injurious to health when they don't heed it. We find hospital attendants and security guards smoking."
