PREGNANT WOMEN OR THOSE EXPOSED SECOND HAND SMOKE ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF
DEVELOPING COMPLICATIONS DURING BITH. THEY MAY ALSO EXPERIENCE A WIDE RANGE OF
CONGENITAL DESORDERS.
Second Hand Smoke has been link with health problems such as heart disease,
heart attack, lung disease, lung cancer and some other cancers. Infant or childhood exposure to
second hand smoke can lead to upper respiratory infection, breathing problems, ear infection
and even behavioral problems and learning difficulties. Pregnant women exposed to second
hand smoke have increased risk of have a baby born too small to soon or having a baby die of
sudden infant death syndrome.
Also cigarettes can affect deforestation, or our environment, Smoking not only affects
the smoker’s health. It also greatly influence the surrounding atmosphere, smoke and cigarette
butts affect the environment the most, resulting into air water and land pollution. Even the
production of cigarettes influences the environment a lot. All smoker think that by smoking
they are only damaging their health, they are ignorant about the fact their smoking is indirectly
affecting others health, and they are one of the direct contributors to the environmental
pollution. It is quite evident that smoking causes air pollution and to some extent also pollutes
and ground.
Pollution caused due to smoking is not confined only to the air or body but to some
extent; it is also responsible of polluting the land and water every day of cigarettes butts are
left on the ground. Maximum of the cigarettes butts finally ends up in the lakes and rivers. By
mistake fishes and other water animals eat these butts resulting in death of these water bodies.
The various additives and chemicals are leached into the soil, polluting the soil as well as plants.
During seasons cigarettes butts can even cause major fire, which is even harmful to the
environment.

THESIS STATEMENT:
Pregnant women exposed to second hand smoke have increased risk of have a
baby born too small to soon or having a baby die of sudden infant death syndrome.
Second Hand Smoke has been link with health problems such as heart disease, heart
attack, lung disease, lung cancer and some other cancers. . All smoker think that by
smoking they are only damaging their health, they are ignorant about the fact their
smoking is indirectly affecting others health, and they are one of the direct contributors
to the environmental pollution.
II. DEFORESTATION
A. Reducing availability of plants
B. Loss of biodiversity
C. Soil erosion
D. Increasing global temperature
Health danger of second hand smoke, those exposed to second hand smoke are at high
risk of suffering from most of the disease and health complications associated with the first
hand smoking. Deforestation also has its additional ripple effects to the environment such as
reducing availability of plant for foraging, loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and increasing global
temperatures. Generation of huge amount of toxic waste is the production process generates
huge amount of waste such as harmful chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and its highly toxic
humans, plants and animals and can seep into water ways and intoxicate the soil for several
years.
Air pollution through industrial production process and farming is smoking of cigarettes
adds huge volume of air pollutant into the atmosphere. It starts right in the tobacco farms
where the machines used emit greenhouse gasses from fossil fuel combusted to produce
energy. Soil and pollution through farming and cigarette butts in other chemicals used in the
cultivation of tobacco introduce volumes of hazardous pollutants to the land soil. And air
pollution through smoking carbon dioxide, methane and other noxious chemical are present in
second hand smoke w/c cause air pollution through smoking.
Cigarettes butts and the contamination of waterway are increasingly becoming one of
the biggest concerns w/ regards to littering. It is scattered all over on the ground, and they
often find way into waterway when washed by storm water, this was almost twice the amount
of all other trash, upon contaminating the waterways, the seriously harm aquatic animals,
plants, and even pollute ground water. Impact on aquatic fish, fish have particularly been
impacted by cigarettes in countless way, they can ingested by fish because the resemble fish
food like the insects. w/ in the fish reducing their stomach capacity, thus affecting their eating,
because human are likewise not spared if by any chance they ingest the chemicals by
consuming affected fish.
Health impact on pets, when pets are outdoors they do so many things like smiling
through garbage and the streets. This puts the pets, dogs and cats at a high risks of ingesting
cigarettes butts lying on the ground as liter at it can be damaging and may even kill the pet,
second hand smoke may also make the pets susceptible to asthma or other lung complication.
And also forest fires (wildfire) it is started by burning cigarettes butts worldwide are countless,
further such forest fires are damaging to the environment causing biodiversity loss, habitat loss,
air pollution, deforestation, and the death of human and wild animal.
So that if someone taking cigarette smoking there are many problems that they to face
such as cancer, autoimmune disorder, type 2 diabetes, premature deaths, lung disease, heart
attack, stroke and the last but not the least is complications for pregnant women.
