Smoking can cause
-
Bronchitis
-
Tuberculosis
-
Malaria
-
Influenza
Which is related to tobacco addiction?
-
Gastric and duodenal ulcers
-
Bronchitis
-
Emphysema
-
All of the above
Emphysema is a form of chronic lung disease, usually caused by smoking.
Bronchitis is caused by tobacco smoke, dust, fumes, vapors and air pollution.
Gastric and duodenal ulcers that occur in the stomach are called as gastric ulcers. Ulcers that occur in the upper area of small intestine, which is the duodenal ulcers.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
Effects of nicotine on human body include
-
Release of adrenaline and hence increased blood pressure and heart beat
-
Stimulation of nerve impulse and muscle relaxation
-
Decreased foetal growth
-
All of the above
Nicotine is a potent parasympathomimetic alkaloid and a stimulant drug. In particular, it is both a stimulant and a relaxant. It causes a release of glucose from the liver and adrenaline from the adrenal medulla thereby causing stimulation of nerve impulses and muscle relaxation.
Nicotine also produces adverse fetal effects. It is likely that hypoxia, undernourishment of the fetus and direct vasoconstrictor effects on the placental and umbilical vessels play a role.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
Emphysema is due to intake of
-
Narcotics
-
Heroin
-
Smoking
-
Opiates
Emphysema is a long-term, progressive disease of the lungs that primarily causes shortness of breath due to over-inflation of the alveoli (air sacs in the lung). It is mainly caused because of Smoking. Shortness of breath is the most common symptom of emphysema. A cough, sometimes caused by the production of mucus, and wheezing may also be symptoms of emphysema. Stopping of smoking and bronchodilating medications along with steroid medications are the treatment of this disease. Hence, the correct answer is option C.
Emphysema is a condition resulting from
-
Cigarette smoking
-
Liquor consumption
-
Drug addiction
-
None of the above
Tobacco smoking commonly produces
-
Blood cancer
-
Lung cancer
-
Cancer of pancreas
-
Bone cancer
Smoking causes many lung diseases that can be nearly as bad as lung cancer. Tobacco contains many chemicals and particles like nicotine that irritate the airways and the lungs.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
Prolonged smoking changes the colour of
-
Teeth
-
Eyes
-
Skin
-
Tongue
Prolonged smoking tends to stain the teeth and change its color, tooth decays and gum diseases.
About 50% of those who die with which of the following disease, are smokers?
-
Tuberculosis
-
Lung cancer
-
Malaria
-
Polio
Smoking addiction is harmful because it produces polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which causes
-
Reduction in oxygen transport
-
Increase in blood pressure
-
Cancer
-
Retardation of growth of foetus
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs are a group of powerful cancer-causing chemicals found in cigarettes that can damage DNA and set cells down the road to becoming tumours. PAHs tend to damage particular sections of DNA. We know that PAHs contribute to lung cancer in smokers because DNA damage can be seen at these sections in patients. One PAH compound, benzopyrene, is notable for being the first chemical carcinogen to be discovered (and is one of many carcinogens found in cigarette smoke). Its consequences are so bad, even if the woman exposed to PAH pollution during pregnancy, then there is adverse birth outcomes including low birth weight, premature delivery and heart malformations, lower IQ and asthma. Cord blood of exposed babies shows DNA damage that has been linked to cancer.
Mouth cancer is mainly caused due to cigarette smoking.
-
True
-
False
- The leading causes of mouth cancer are tobacco and alcohol. The next major cause is cigarette smoking.
- Both are carcinogenic, which means they contain chemicals that can damage the DNA in cells and lead to cancer
What does smog affect?
-
Urinary tract
-
Lungs
-
Kidneys
-
Heart
Cigarette smoking causes
-
Lung cancer
-
Baldness
-
Colour blindness
-
None of the above
Cigarette smoking causes lung cancer by damaging the cells that line the lungs. When we inhale cigarette smoke, which is full of cancer-causing substances (carcinogens), changes in the lung tissue begin almost immediately. At first our body may be able to repair this damage. But with each repeated exposure, normal cells that line our lungs are increasingly damaged. Over time, the damage causes cells to act abnormally and eventually cancer may develop. People who smoke cigarettes are 15 to 30 times more likely to get lung cancer or die from lung cancer than people who do not smoke. Even smoking a few cigarettes a day or smoking occasionally increases the risk of lung cancer. The more years a person smokes and the more cigarettes smoked each day, the more risk goes up. Cigarette smoking causes many types of cancer, including cancers of the lung, oesophagus, larynx (voice box), mouth, throat, kidney, bladder, pancreas, stomach, and cervix, as well as acute myeloid leukemia.
A harmful effect of smoking is
-
Baldness
-
Yelllowing of eyes
-
Lung cancer
-
None of the above
Heavy smokers are most likely to suffer from
-
Asthma
-
Silicosis
-
Emphysema
-
Anosmia
-
Bronchitis
Emphysema is a progressive, incurable chronic lung infection. The air sacs or the alveoli are destroyed and oxygen uptake is restricted due to the loss of elasticity of lung tissue.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Emphysema'.
Nicotine acts as a stimulant because it mimics the effect of
-
Thyroxine
-
Acetylcholine
-
Testosterone
-
Dopamine
Nicotine is found in the leaves of tobacco. It acts as both stimulant as it mimics the acetylcholine and also as the depressor. It stimulates passage of nerve impulses causes muscles to relax.
Addiction of smoking leads to
-
Lung cancer
-
Bronchitis
-
Emphysema
-
All of the above
Smoking is a practice in which a substance is burned and the resulting smoke breathed in to be tasted and absorbed into the bloodstream.
Emphysema is a form of chronic lung disease, usually caused by smoking.
Bronchitis is caused by tobacco smoke, dust, fumes, vapors and air pollution.
Changes in lung tissue begin when one inhale cigarette smoke.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
Substance in tobacco responsible for addiction is
-
Nicotine
-
Caffeine
-
Thiene
-
All of the above
Out of 4000 chemicals released by cigarette, potent carcinogens are
-
12
-
43
-
216
-
172
A substance that causes cancer is called a carcinogen. Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals out of which 43 are carcinogenic. Some of the carcinogens are nicotine, formaldehyde, benzene, carbon monoxide, etc. Most of the cigarette smoke remains in the lungs. This smoke damages the lung walls causing cancer. Thus the correct answer is option B.
Smokers metabolize nicotine to form
-
Uric acid
-
Urea
-
Cotinine
-
All of the above
Nicotine is a major constituent of tobacco, which plays a critical role in smoking addiction. In humans, nicotine is primarily metabolized to cotinine, which is further metabolized to trans-3'-hydorxycotinine.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Cotinine'.
Smoking cigarette is harmful because
-
It causes cancer.
-
It causes cardiovascular problems.
-
It causes bronchitis.
-
All of the above.
-
It causes cancer.
-
It causes cardiovascular problems.
- It causes bronchitis.
-
Cyanide

Which out of the following addiction is the most harmful for the respiratory system?
-
Smoking
-
Chewing pan
-
Chewing gutkha
-
Alcohol consumption
Addiction is a phenomenon in which there is physical or psychological need to do, take or use something. The various addictions are smoking, chewing pan, chewing gutkha, alcohol, etc. Out of these addictions, the most harmful addiction for the respiratory system is smoking. It causes respiratory diseases like bronchitis, emphysema, laryngitis, breathlessnes, lung irritation. Its continuous use also causes permanent damage to the alveoli of the lungs. Nicotine is the addictive drug which is used in cigarettes.
