Are you a smoker and still lack the motivation to quit? As the Tobacco Free Month began in November, Dr Mohamed Mouhssine reveals 10 numbers that you can think about.
75,000
It is the number of deaths by one linked to tobacco in a territory which includes France and Monaco. Tobacco therefore kills more than alcohol, AIDS and traffic accidents all combined.
20
Tobacco causes the person who smokes to lose 20 years of life expectancy.
17
Tobacco causes cancer in 17 different organs in the body.
70
In a cigarette, there are no less than 70 carcinogenic substances.
80%
80% of lung cancers are linked to tobacco.
3,600
3,600 euros per year, that’s what an average consumption of one pack per day costs.
6
When a smoker pulls on a cigarette, in 6 seconds the nicotine acts on the nicotinic receptors and this creates the phenomenon of dependence: it is the nicotine shoot which causes a release of dopamine which gives a sensation of pleasure. 20 cigarettes is the equivalent of 200 tafs and therefore 200 shots of nicotine per day.
2
After 2 years without tobacco, the risk of having a myocardial infarction is halved.
5
After 5 years without tobacco, the risk of developing lung cancer is halved.
ten
After 10 to 15 years without tobacco, the former smoker regains the life expectancy of someone who has never smoked.
