Smoking Knowledge Assessment
Check again what you didn't know about smoking, use your common sense about smoking, and quit smoking.
1. Smoking during adolescence may increase health risks compared to adults.
- Cigarettes contain an addictive substance called nicotine, and once you start smoking, you will quickly develop symptoms of nicotine addiction.
Smoking is a type of addiction that is classified as 'Tobacco Dependence' according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10)
and 'Nicotine Dependence' according to the American Psychiatric Society's DSM-IV standard.
Therefore, it is wise to view smoking as a 'disease' rather than a 'habit'.
2. Smoking during adolescence may exacerbate health risks compared to adults.
- If you started smoking as a teenager, before the age of 18, you are still mentally and physically immature and are exposed to the carcinogens and harmful chemicals in cigarettes,
which can increase the likelihood of addiction and health risks.
3. Smoking causes various types of cancer, including lung cancer.
- Smoking is the leading cause of various cancers including lung cancer, stomach cancer, cervical cancer, laryngeal cancer and pancreatic cancer.
4. Smoking places a huge economic burden on both individuals and our society.
- Many diseases caused by tobacco use are severe and chronic, increasing the socio-economic burden of the country as a whole and, at the individual level, causing great suffering and economic loss to both the individual and his or her family.
5. Tobacco and tobacco smoke contain carcinogens and chemicals that are harmful to health.
- Tobacco and tobacco smoke are known to contain 69 carcinogens and more than 4,000 chemicals, including nicotine, which causes tobacco addiction.
6. The smoke a smoker inhales through a cigarette filter is more harmful than the smoke produced by burning tobacco.
- Smoke from a burning cigarette contains more harmful chemicals and carcinogens than the smoke a smoker inhales through a cigarette filter.
7. If you stop smoking, bad breath and body odour will disappear and your teeth will become white and healthy.
- Quitting smoking reduces the risk of developing various chronic diseases including cancer, as well as eliminating bad breath, clothes, hair, etc. and making your teeth white and healthy.
8. Ten years after quitting smoking, the death rate from lung cancer is half that of active smokers.
- Ten years after quitting smoking, the death rate from lung cancer is half that of smokers and the risk of developing cancers of the mouth, larynx, oesophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas is also reduced.
9. Passive smoking is the use of tobacco smoke that others smoke.
- If you do not smoke directly, but inhale the cigarette smoke of the cigarette of the person smoking next to you, this is called passive smoking.
10. Passive smoking itself does not cause serious health problems like smokers do.
- Passive smoking, like direct smoking, can cause different kinds of diseases and harm your health.
11. E-cigarettes do not cause harm from second-hand smoke, so they can be smoked in non-smoking areas.
- Like regular cigarettes, e-cigarettes are regulated by the Tobacco Business Act, and under the National Health Promotion Act, a fee of 221 won is charged on each millilitre of nicotine. In addition,
there is still a lot of research to be done on the health effects of e-cigarettes, and there is speculation that there are potential risks.
E-cigarettes containing nicotine are also tobacco cigarettes that cannot be smoked in non-smoking areas.
12. Smoking occasionally, only when you have a drink, is not nicotine addiction.
- Alcohol and tobacco are best friends. There are many people who do not smoke but only smoke when they drink, and they can be considered smokers with a developed nicotine addiction.
Since alcohol and tobacco have the same addictive mechanisms and locations in the brain, they interact with each other to produce a greater sense of pleasure from the urge to smoke at the bar.
However, using alcohol and tobacco at the same time increases the risk of physical harm and disease.
13. 1 cigarette every 6 months is smoking cessation.
- Quitting smoking means not smoking a single cigarette, not even a puff. Episodic smoking is still smoking, it can cause physical harm and addiction, and it can be a barrier to quitting smoking completely because it can lay the foundation for regular smoking.
14. Smoking reduces stress levels.
- Smokers say that smoking relieves stress. However, the actual stress index is not reduced by smoking. On the other hand, smokers experience withdrawal symptoms that occur when they don't smoke for a period of time, leading to an increase in the stress index.
15. Smoking in non-smoking areas is punishable by a fine
- Smoking in a non-smoking area is subject to a fine
16. When quitting smoking, eating salty, spicy and spicy foods can help reduce cravings for smoking.
- When quitting smoking, it is recommended to avoid eating spicy or salty, savoury foods as they may trigger the urge to smoke.
17. Twenty-four hours after quitting smoking, carbon monoxide levels in the body drop to normal, reducing the chance of a heart attack.
- After 8 hours of smoking, the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood drops to normal and the amount of oxygen in the blood rises to normal.
18. When you start to stop smoking, it is best not to drink drinks containing caffeine, such as fizzy drinks or coffee.
- After quitting smoking, you should avoid carbonated and caffeinated drinks as they can increase cravings for smoking, but drinking more water than usual can help reduce cravings.
19. The harmful substances of cigarettes on a smoker's clothes, skin and hair also contribute to second-hand smoke.
- Tertiary secondhand smoke is when you smoke outdoors, or even if you don't smoke yourself, smoke from neighbouring cigarettes is absorbed into your clothing, or even if you smoke indoors and ventilate the room, cigarette toxins remain on indoor surfaces (wallpaper, carpets, car seats, etc.) or dust and are reemitted as gases or react with other materials in the room to form secondary pollutants.
20. Parents' smoking can set an example of smoking for their children.
- Children of smoking parents are more likely to start smoking themselves than children of non-smoking parents, and parents who quit smoking can be good role models for their children.
21. Physical exercise helps to relieve withdrawal syndrome and the desire to smoke.
- Regular exercise after quitting smoking can help reduce cravings, break your addiction and lead to a healthier lifestyle.
22. Anyone can easily quit smoking by applying nicotine patch.
- There is no cure for smoking cessation. Nicotine patches are a type of nicotine medication that literally just alleviates the withdrawal symptoms and cravings that occur after quitting smoking. Using a nicotine patch won't help everyone quit smoking, but it can increase your chances of success.
23. It is better to reduce smoking slowly than to quit at once.
- There are two ways to quit smoking: 'cold cessation', where you don't smoke a single cigarette, and gradual cessation, where you gradually reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke. In general, quitting smoking once and for all is considered more effective, but if you are an avid smoker or have a severe nicotine addiction, it may be more helpful to set a quit date after you've cut back for a while.
24. The best way to quit smoking is through willpower.
- There is less than a 3-5% chance that a smoker will be able to quit on their own, without the help of others. Instead, a variety of smoking cessation methods are recommended, including behavioural and smoking cessation counselling, nicotine medications and pharmacotherapy.
25. When you quit smoking, you may feel dry mouth and hunger, so it is better to eat as much of your favourite food as possible.
- Many people struggle with excess weight after quitting smoking. After quitting smoking, your sense of taste and smell returns, and you may find that you snack often because you need something to keep your mouth busy.
