| | Tobacco smoking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Numerous studies have suggested that passive smoking can be harmful to human health, however the level of harm is controversial with research from alternative sources suggesting that the risk may not be as high as otherwise predicted. | | | In the 1930s Nazi medical and military leaders became concerned that tobacco might prove a hazard to human health, concluding that the "extraordinary rise in tobacco use" was "the single most important cause of the rising incidence of lung cancer". | | | Smoking and health: physician responsibility; a statement of the Joint Committee on Smoking and Health. |

| | Smoking |
| | Over the long term, smoking leads people to develop health problems like cancer, emphysema (breakdown of lung tissue), organ damage, and heart disease. | | | The consequences of smoking may seem very far off to many teens, but long-term health problems aren't the only hazard of smoking. | | | And people with certain health conditions, like asthma, become more sick if they smoke (and often if they're just around people who smoke). |

| | eMedicine - Substance Abuse: Nicotine : Article by Donna G Grigsby, MD |
| | While prevention of smoking initiation should be the focus of treating nicotine dependence, behavioral and pharmacological treatments developed in recent years have proven to be effective. | | | Because of the highly addictive nature of nicotine, smoking a few cigarettes in adolescence increases the probability of nicotine dependence and is associated with a marked increase in incidence of adult smoking. | | | Another factor associated with progression of adolescent smoking is an increased number of smoking friends when compared to their nonsmoking peers. |
