 Lesson Negative Effects of
1 Cigarette Smoking

The respiratory and circulatory systems are useful within the trade of gases.
It cannot work alone and function properly, which are genuinely subordinate on
each other. The advantage of one system is beneficial to the other, and the threat of
one system is a threat to the other. A healthy lifestyle is fundamental in overseeing
and taking care of the respiratory system, enhancement of health, and well-being
of an individual. Smoking is dangerous to one’s wellbeing which is the driving
cause of death and sickness in public health around the world.

Negative Effects of Cigarette Smoking

Cigarette smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, causing many
diseases and affecting health in general. The negative effects of smoking on
circulatory system include increased heart rate and blood pressure, coronary heart
disease, arteriosclerosis, and vascular diseases. The respiratory diseases caused by
smoking are chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, cough, colds, tuberculosis,
lung cancer and other respiratory infections.

The leading causes of death around the world are diseases affecting the
respiratory and circulatory systems. However, they can be prevented simply by
having a lifestyle that promotes wellness. Circulatory and respiratory diseases
begin to develop with unhealthy lifestyle. Symptoms of these illnesses must not be
neglected and appropriate cure must be given immediately.Depending on the
respiratory and circulatory condition, medications are based on the severity of the
diseases as recommended by doctors.

Emphysema
Emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath. Emphysema
and chronic bronchitis are two conditions that make up chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD).Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of COPD, as well
as marijuana smoke, air pollution and chemical fumes and dust. A person with
emphysema could be treated using prescribed medication and supportive therapy
that includes oxygen and smoking cessation therapy.

Arteriosclerosis
Atherosclerosis happens when the plaque collects and causes arteries to narrow
and harden due to factors such as smoking, high blood pressure and cholesterol in

3
LU_Q1_Science9_Module2
the blood. The difference between Atherosclerosis and Arteriosclerosis is that
Atherosclerosis refers to buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances that
triggers to blood clot while the Arteriosclerosis occurs when the blood vessels that
carry oxygen and nutrients from the heart and to the rest of the body become
thickens and hardens. A person with atherosclerosis or arteriosclerosis is advised
to undergo medication and surgical procedure and treatment to change lifestyle.

Coronary heart diseases

Coronary heart disease develops when the major blood vessels that supply our
heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients become damaged. This disease can be
caused by high cholesterol foods, diabetes, family history and smoking. Coronary
Heart Disease is commonly treated with a combination of change in lifestyle,
prescribed medication and in some cases through surgery.

Bronchitis
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucus membrane that lines the bronchial
tubes. The thick mucus builds up causing coughing, difficulty of breathing and
heavy feeling in the chest. Bronchitis may be caused by bacteria, viruses or
irritants in the air. There is no cure for chronic bronchitis, but there are several
medications to help relieve symptoms. It is also important to avoid smoking and
smoky environments, and to drink lots of water and get plenty of rest.

Pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs which causes inflammation of
the air sacs. The infection is caused by bacteria, viruses and fungi. Treatment for
pneumonia involves curing the infection and preventing complications. People who
have community-acquired pneumonia usually can be treated at home with
medication such as antibiotics and pain reliever recommended by the doctor.

Asthma
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder caused by inflammation and
narrowing of the bronchial tubes. An asthma triggered by airborne substances,
certain foods, common bacteria and viruses. Inhalers and nebulizers are key
components of asthma treatment.

Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium
tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs, but they can also damage other
parts of the body. The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from one person
to another person through tiny droplets released into the air via coughs and
sneezes. With early detection and appropriate antibiotics, TB is treatable.
Treatment for TB can vary. It may involve taking an antibiotic once a week for 12
weeks or every day for 9 months. Treatment for active TB may involve taking
several drugs for 6–9 months. TB Dots is a short-course treatment given to the
tuberculosis (TB) control strategy recommended by the World Health Organization.
According to WHO, "The most cost-effective way to stop the spread of TB in
communities with a high incidence is by curing it.

Preventions:

The following could help prevent diseases related to the circulatory and
respiratory systems: quit/stop smoking, eat healthy foods, maintain a healthy
weight, enough rest/sleep and take vitamin C to improve immune system.

The driving causes of death around the world are diseases influencing the
respiratory and circulatory systems, in any case, they can be avoided basically by
having a lifestyle that promotes wellness. Circulatory and Respiratory diseases
start to develop with an unhealthy living. Indications of these diseases must not be
neglected, and appropriate remedy must be given immediately. What are the ways
of preventing such diseases? Carry out the next lesson to further broaden your

Discover

In order for you to understand on how to detect and protect the

diseases of the circulatory system and respiratory system you must familiarize
first what are the common diseases and their symptoms. Here is an overview of
some of the diseases or problems and symptoms that affect these systems.

Respiratory Diseases, Symptoms and Preventions

1. Asthma is a severe allergic reaction that causes wheezing, coughing and

breathing difficulties. During an asthma attack, the bronchioles go into spasms,
squeezing the air passages. While there's no cure, there are steps you can take to
keep your asthma in control and prevent an attack. Identify asthma triggers, stay
away from allergens and avoid smoke of any type.

2. Bronchitis is a condition in which the linings of the bronchial tubes become

irritated and swollen. The passageways to the alveoli may swell and clog with
mucus. This often causes severe coughing and makes it hard to breathe. To
prevent bronchitis, don't smoke, insist that others do not smoke in your home, stay
away from or try to reduce your time around things that irritate your airway (nose,
throat, and lungs)and if you catch a cold, get plenty of rest.

3. Emphysema is a condition in which the lungs lose their elasticity. It causes

shortness of breath. To prevent emphysema, don't smoke and avoid breathing
secondhand smoke, wear a mask to protect your lungs if you work with chemical
fumes or dust.

8
LU_Q1_Science9_Module2
4. Pneumonia is a condition in which the alveoli become filled with fluid. This
prevents the exchange of gases in the lungs. Besides getting shots, you can lower
your risk of getting bacterial pneumonia by doing these things: washing hands
regularly, especially after you go to the bathroom and before you eat, eat right with
plenty of fruits and vegetables, exercise, get enough sleep, quit smoking and stay
away from sick people, if possible.

5. Lung cancer is a disease in which tumors formed as a result of irregular and

uncontrolled cell growth. Many studies have shown a relationship between lung
cancer and smoking. There's no sure way to prevent lung cancer, but you can
reduce your risk if you: don't smoke, if you've never smoked, don't start.

Circulatory Diseases, Symptoms and Preventions

1. Atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries develops when arteries become

too rigid and narrow to ease the pressure of blood pumped out of the heart.
Lifestyle changes can help you prevent or slow the progression of atherosclerosis.
Stop smoking, smoking damages your arteries. Exercise most days of the week.
Regular exercise can condition your muscles to use oxygen more efficiently.

2. Hypertension or high blood pressure increase in blood pressure that does not
go away even when the body is at rest. It develops from excessive constriction of the
arterioles. Severe hypertension is likely to cause heart failure or kidney failure. To
prevent hypertension, eat a healthy diet, choose healthy meal and snack options to
help you avoid high blood pressure and its complications.

3. Myocarditis is the inflammation of the lining outside the heart due to

infection. There's no specific prevention for myocarditis. However, taking these
steps to prevent infections might help avoid people who have a viral or flu-like
illness until they've recovered. If you're sick with viral symptoms, try to avoid
exposing others.

4. Stroke is a sudden interruption in the blood supply of brain. Most strokes are
caused by an abrupt blockage of arteries leading to the brain. The best way to help
prevent a stroke is to eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and avoid smoking and
drinking too much alcohol.

5. Aneurysm is the enlargement of an artery caused by weakness in the arterial

wall. Often there are no symptoms but a rupture aneurym may lead to fatal
complications. You can't always prevent brain aneurysms, but you can lower your
risk by not smoking and reducing high blood pressure.

Do you know how great your lifestyle is? Lifestyle refers to the health exercise
you are doing in your daily life. Several lifestyle choices can affect a person’s risk
for developing respiratory and circulatory diseases. Negative lifestyle weakens your
system while healthy lifestyle leads to complete wellness. Vices, stressful
environments, and unhealthy eating habits can cause various diseases, specifically
of the respiratory and circulatory systems. The best way to prevent diseases in the

Lifestyle that Affects You

The following are some examples of your daily activities that have impact on
your body in general.
1. Drinking of water. Take at least 8 glasses of water. Water is necessary for
carrying out of bodily functions, removing waste and transporting nutrients and
oxygen throughout the body. Lack of water may lead to dehydration, headache,
sickness and waste build up in the body.
2. Sleeping. Get enough sleep. During this time the body works in repairing
tissues and organs. Chemicals that strengthen the immune system start to
circulate in your blood. When you sleep, levels of growth hormone go up and stress
hormone goes down. Sleep deprivation can also cause adverse effect to your health.
Eating habits. Have a balanced diet. What we eat is very important as the body
gets its required energy and nutrition from food we eat. It is suggested that we
consume 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Unhealthy snacks like junk
foods and sweetened beverages and processed foods are simply not good for you.
3. Most nutritional value is lost in the making of processed foods and the added
preservatives are bad for your health. These foods contain a high amount of salt,
which leads to high blood pressure and heart disease.

4. Exercise. By moving your body for 30 minutes a day, you strengthen

your lungs and you will lower your risk of disease, create a higher bone density
and
potentially increase your life span. Inadequate exercise may lead into heart disease,
colon cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and even colds or flue.
5. Healthy body weight, defined as a normal body mass index (BMI),
which is between 18.5 and 24.9. Specifically, people with obesity considered to be
healthy were 49 percent more likely to develop coronary heart disease, as well as

13
LU_Q1_Science9_Module2
96 percent more likely to have heart failure. Additionally, people with obesity had a
7 percent higher chance of having a stroke.
6. Cigarette smoking. Smoking is bad, period. Smokers are more likely
than non-smokers to develop heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer. If you’re a
smoker, quit for better health—not just for yourself, but for your family and
friends. If you don’t smoke, stay that way.

7. Alcohol drinking. Drinking too much over time can cause chronic
physical and mental health issues. Heavy drinking can cause or contribute
to liver damage, cardiovascular disease, and multiple types of cancer.
Choose healthy lifestyle…
Healthy habits make a big difference. People who have healthy lifestyle enjoy
impressively longer lives than those who are not. They reduced the risk of getting
terminal illnesses and diseases such as cancer, diabetes and their energy is boosts
and their moods improve. Those who have the bad habits were far more likely to
die prematurely from cancer or cardiovascular disease. Being healthy also means
getting annual physical and any recommended medical tests and immunization at
the doctor’s clinic.
If you are not following the healthy lifestyle, making even a little change now
can really make a difference to your health. Gradually make changes toward a
healthier lifestyle like walking to school, preparing your own meal, cutting down of
processed food and drinking lots of water. It is better to practice good habits one at
a time rather than trying to change everything at once.

According to study the leading causes of death among Filipinos are the
diseases to the heart, diseases of the vascular system, pneumonias, and all form of

16
LU_Q1_Science9_Module2
tuberculosis. Poor and unhealthy lifestyle is the common causes of the diseases of
the respiratory and circulatory systems.
The best way to prevent diseases of the respiratory and circulatory systems
is to have a healthy lifestyle, which includes proper exercise, enough rest, proper
hygiene, balanced diet and avoiding vices such as cigarette smoking and drinking
alcohol. Diseases can also be detected with regular health check-up and physical
screening.
Why Information Dissemination is Important in Maintaining a
Healthy Community?
Information dissemination is a key or a strategy used to inform the public
about the health concern and to maintain important health issues within the
community. The used of mass and multi- media and other technological
innovations to disseminate useful health information to the public, increase the
awareness of specific aspects of individual and collective health as well as the
importance of health in development. Rapid and effective dissemination of
information is critical during health crisis and one of the most effective ways of

Information Dissemination on How to Take Care of the Respiratory and

Circulatory Systems (Collaboration and Leadership)

Goal: Your objective is to create helpful information to inform the public about
effective ways of taking care of the respiratory and circulatory system. The
challenge is how you will able to convince and lead the people to take action rather
than merely accepting the presented information. The obstacle to attain your goal
is the reluctance and preconceived notion of the people against changing their
lifestyle to promote health.

Role: You are a student. There is a responsibility given to you that is to create
public information materials. You are asked to disseminate information to the
public regarding a lifestyle that ensures healthy condition of the respiratory and
circulatory systems.

Audience: Your target individuals to receive the information that you will provide
are the people in your community. Therefore, it is important that you convince
them to consider the ways of taking care their bodies, especially the respiratory and
circulatory systems.

Situation: Upon gathering information from the local health workers, you have
