Tupakasta on sanottu jos monenlaista. Se pilaa keuhkot, tuo mukanaan keuhkosyövän jne. Tupakoivia saa arvostella ihan vapaasti, se on sallittua nykyisin, kun taasen lihavien arvostelua katsotaan pahalla.
Kuitenkin viimeaikaisissa tutkimuksissa on tullut ilmi, että tupakointi ei ole vain haitaksi terveydelle vaan myös hyödyksi sille. Sillä on myös hyviä vaikutuksia, mm. seuraavat:
Former and current smokers have a lower incidence of Parkinson's disease compared to people who have never smoked,[71][72] although the authors stated that it was more likely that the movement disorders which are part of Parkinson's disease prevented people from being able to smoke than that smoking itself was protective. Another study considered a possible role of nicotine in reducing Parkinson's risk: nicotine stimulates the dopaminergic system of the brain, which is damaged in Parkinson's disease.[73]
A protective effect of current smoking against ulcerative colitis, although smoking increases the risk of Crohn's disease, the other form of inflammatory bowel disease.[74]
Smoking reduces the risk of Kaposi's sarcoma in people without HIV infection.[75]
There is some evidence for decreased rates of endometriosis in infertile smoking women,[76] although other studies have found that smoking increases the risk in infertile women.[77] There is little or no evidence of a protective effect in fertile women.
Some preliminary data from 1996 suggested a reduced incidence of uterine fibroids,[78] but overall the evidence is unconvincing.[79]
There is limited evidence that smoking reduces the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension,[80] but not when the pregnancy is with more than one baby (i.e. it has no effect on twins etc.).[81] Smoking does, however, increase the likelihood of almost every other pregnancy-related health risk to both mother and child, and is the single most preventable cause of illness and death among mothers and infants in the developed world.[82]
A very large percentage of schizophrenics smoke tobacco as a form of self medication. [83][84][85][86] The high rate of tobacco use by the mentally ill is a major factor in their decreased life expectancy, which is about 25 years shorter than the general population.[87] Following the observation that smoking improves condition of people with schizophrenia, in particular working memory deficit, nicotine patches had been proposed as a way to treat schizophrenia.[88]
Preliminary reports suggest that smoking can decrease the incidence of acne prophylactically. This was seen by a decreased percentage ratio of patients needing acne medication versus the percentage of entire population of smokers. (A smaller percentage of patients who smoked needed medication than found in the population as a whole).[89]

sairastua esim. Kapoosin sarkoomaan? Entä todennäköisyytesi sairastua keuhkoahtaumaan tai syöpään jos ja kun poltat? Voit punnita näitä todennäköisyyksiä ihan itse ja tehdä sitten niin kuin henkilökohtainen logiikkasi tässä asiassa käskee.
P.S. Appiukkoni, himonikotinisti jo vuodesta 1947 sairastaa parkinsonin tautia.
onko satunnaispolttelu vaarallista?
alzheimerin tauti?
Eikö liene luonnollista, että tupakka tuo tupakka-addiktille psyykkistä mielihyvää? Tupakkaa vihaavalle tämä tuskin toimii.
