Although smoking trends among American high school students had sharply decreased during the late 1990s, a new study shows that the rate of decline in smoking among teenagers has began to level off. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released its latest findings from the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) in its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
While it’s well known that secondhand smoke can be dangerous for children, a new study confirms that it’s also dangerous for newborns of mothers who are exposed to secondhand smoke during pregnancy.
Smoking cigarettes has long been associated with "calming one’s nerves" and "unwinding," but a new study shows that smoking is actually attributed to increased stress. Instead of being an effective coping mechanism as smokers believe, smoking cigarettes can aggravate stress levels, while smoking cessation significantly lowers stress. The study’s findings give current smokers just one more reason to quit.
New research shows that smoking during pregnancy not only can have lasting effects on the child’s health, but can also lead to psychiatric problems, increasing the need for children to take psychotropic medication.
A new study has founds that smoking cigarettes may counteract any beneficial effects of moderate alcohol consumption on stroke. Researchers followed the drinking and smoking habits of 22,524 people in the United Kingdom between ages 39 and 70 with no history of heart attack or stroke at the beginning of the study. During the twelve-year study, 864 strokes occurred.
New research from Weill Cornell Medical College has found that teenagers’ attitudes toward cigarette smoking influences their likelihood of abusing multiple drugs, such as drinking, smoking, and using marijuana.
