WHAT I S
TOBACCO ?
 Tobacco is a plant (Nicotiana tabacum and Nicotiana rustica)

that contains nicotine, an addictive drug with both stimulant
and depressant effects.

Tobacco leaves are applied to cuts as an antiseptic and to
stop bleeding. Ground tobacco leaves were also used as
“snuff” (inhaled through the nose) for medicinal and
ritualistic purposes. Tobacco smoked is sometimes blown
into the ear to treat earaches. However, because of abusers,
tobacco has become an addictive drug that can harm the
body.
EXAMPLES OF
TOBACCO:
 E- Cigarettes/Vape - Inhaling an
aerosol containing nicotine and other drugs is
made possible through the use of e-cigarettes
and other electronic nicotine delivery systems
(ENDS), which are tobacco products. They are
not FDA-approved quit-smoking devices.
EXAMPLES OF
TOBACCO:
 Smokeless Tobacco/Chewing tobacco -

Typically sold in tiny pouches like tea bags,
snus is a moist kind of smokeless tobacco that is
held in the mouth, either behind the upper lip,
between the cheek and teeth, or between the
gums and teeth. Snus, a "spit-free" type of
tobacco that was first created in Sweden, has
been extensively pushed as a substitute for
smoking in smoke-free areas in the US.
EXAMPLES OF
TOBACCO:
Hookah/Waterpipe When smoking a hookah, the tobacco smoke is

-
passed through water or a distilled alcoholic beverage, such as vodka,

before being inhaled. A hookah smoker can inhale 100–200 times more
smoke in an hour than they would in a single cigarette. The charcoal
used to heat the shisha also poses health risks by exposing users to high
levels of metals, cancer-causing chemicals, and carbon monoxide, as
well as by exposing both users and non-users to the carcinogens in
residual secondhand smoke. There are particular health risks associated
with using a hookah, including the possibility of spreading infectious
diseases like hepatitis, herpes, and/or tuberculosis. This is because
hookah smoking is often done in groups where the same mouthpiece is
passed from one person to the next.
EXAMPLES OF
TOBACCO:
Cigars/Cigarillos - When compared to a filtered cigarette, large

cigars can carry up to ten times as much nicotine, twice as much tar,
and more than five times as much carbon monoxide. Filters may or
may not be present in cigarillos, which are three to four inches long
and more narrow. Smoking cigars is linked to an increased risk of
oral, lung, laryngeal, and esophageal cancer. Cigar Smokers are
significantly more likely to develop COPD, and compared to non-
smokers, cigar smokers have a higher COPD mortality rate.
Chemicals and hazardous substances found in secondhand cigar
smoke offer serious health risks for both smokers and non-smokers
of cigars.
HOW TOBACCO
D A M A G E S Y O U R B O D Y:
Nicotine - Narrows your veins and

arteries. This can damage your heart by
forcing it to work faster and harder slow
your blood and reduce oxygen to your
feet and hands.
HOW TOBACCO
Carbon monoxide - deprives your heart of

the oxygen it needs to pump blood around
your body. Over time, your airways swell up
and let less air into your lungs.
HOW TOBACCO
Tar - A sticky substance

that coats your lungs like
soot in a chimney.
HOW TOBACCO
Phenols - Paralyse and

kill the hair-like cells in your
airways. These cells sweep
clean the lining
HOW TOBACCO
Tiny Particles - In tobacco

smoke irritate your throat and lungs
and cause ‘smoker’s cough’. This
makes you produce more mucus
and damages lung tissue.
HOW TOBACCO
Ammonia and
formaldehyde -irritate
your eyes, nose and throat.
HOW TOBACCO
Cancer-causing chemicals - Makes

your cells grow too fast or abnormally.
This can result in cancer cells.
FIVE MAJOR STEPS
TO INTERVENTION
• Ask - Identify and document tobacco use status for every patient at
every visit.
• Advise - In a clear, strong, and personalized manner, urge every
tobacco user to quit.
• Assess - Is the tobacco user willing to make a quit attempt at this time?
• Assist - For the patient willing to make a quit attempt, use counseling
and pharmacotherapy to help him or her quit. (See Counseling Patients
To Quit and pharmacotherapy information in this packet).
• Arrange - Schedule followup contact, in person or by telephone,
preferably within the first week after the quit date.

Purpose.—It is the main thrust of this Act to:
a. Promote a healthful environment;
b. Inform the public of the health risks associated with cigarette smoking and
tobacco use;
c. Regulate and subsequently ban all tobacco advertisements and

sponsorships;
d. Regulate the labeling of tobacco products;
e. Protect the youth from being initiated to cigarette smoking and tobacco use
by prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to minors;
f. Assist and encourage Filipino tobacco farmers to cultivate alternative

 Former President Rodrigo Duterte announced that he would enact a "no smoking" rule across the board, even in enclosed public areas like bars and restaurants.

"Smoke-Free" refers to a setting where individuals are shielded from the negative health effects of secondhand smoke. The US Surgeon General estimates that
being around secondhand smoke raises a nonsmoker's risk of lung cancer by 20 to 30%. Smoking is expressly forbidden in public areas under the Tobacco
Regulation Act of 2003 (RA 9211), which includes, among other things, "centers of youth activity such as schools" and "public conveyances and public facilities."

Other programs for tobacco prevention
 Young people who dabble with cigarettes put themselves at danger for nicotine addiction. Early smokers have a harder time quitting, are more likely to become
heavy smokers, and are more likely to get sick from smoking. Between 1975 and 1985, 75% of people who had smoked daily in high school continued to smoke
daily 7-9 years later; nevertheless, just 5% of same people had said they would "certainly" smoke five years earlier when they were high school students. Smoking
is addicting, and three out of every four kids who smoke have tried seriously but unsuccessfully to stop at least once. The 1994 Surgeon General's report on
smoking and health concludes that the probability of becoming addicted to nicotine after any exposure is higher than that for other addictive substances (e.g.,
heroin, cocaine, or alcohol). Further, nicotine addiction in young people follows fundamentally the same process as in adults, resulting in withdrawal symptoms and
failed attempts to quit. Children and teenagers who have not tried tobacco should be able to continue abstaining from all use with the help of school-based health
programs. School health initiatives should make it possible and motivating for young people who have tried tobacco use or who use it often to stop at once. School
programs should assist students who are unable to stop smoking tobacco in finding further support so they can successfully stop using it.
