Whenever you smoke swisher cigars, your bloodstream absorbs the nicotine. On the one hand, nicotine raises dopamine levels that change the chemistry of your brain. On the other hand, it is the primary goal of addiction. They are smaller and thinner than a regular cigar and match closer to a cigarillo. The biggest turn off to the blunt is the fact all tobacco has some level of nicotine. A roach is the remains of a joint, blunt or roll up cigarette after most of it has been smoked.
Most roaches are disposed of immediately after smoking a joint, however some users will retain the roach for use at a later date. While studies in the past have shown that marijuana can cause cancer, few have actually established a strong link between marijuana use and the actual incidence of lung cancer. Cigar wrappers contain tobacco and nicotine, which may interact with the cardiovascular system and subjective effects of the marijuana to produce a different set of effects and risks.
Black men should take extra precaution. Overall, I learned a lot. First, if you smoke, the best thing you can do for your overall health is to just stop.
Know that help is available! If you smoke now, smoked in the past or been around a lot of smoke, talk to your doctor about whether you should be screened for lung cancer based on your age and smoking history.
Figure 4. Chronic LC exposure results in unique changes in gene expression. Chronic LC smoke exposure significantly alters the ASL proteome Since ASL is important for innate defense of the lung 6 , we next used a proteomics approach to comprehensively measure biomarkers of LC exposure. Figure 5. LC smoke exposure causes greater changes to the ASL proteome than cigarette smoke exposure. Mass spectrometric analysis of tar particle extracts reveal greater numbers of chemicals in tobacco smoke than Kentucky cigarettes Tobacco smoke is a complex and dynamic mixture of thousands of compounds including several carcinogens and oxidants Figure 6.
LC combustion yields different chemicals than cigarette combustion. Figure 7. Little cigars have more chemical constituents in their tar phase than Kentucky research cigarettes.
Discussion Cigarettes are known to be highly toxic and can exert multiple effects on the pulmonary system, including, but not limited to, increases in apoptosis, inflammation, protease activation, DNA breaks as well as deranging the mucus clearance system 6. Chronic whole tobacco smoke exposure Unless otherwise noted, tobacco smoke was generated according to ISO standards using a Borgwaldt LC1 smoke engine and applied to cells that were located in a specially designed smoke chamber 9. Proteomic analysis of apical secretions of chronically tobacco exposed airway cultures Apical secretions were collected and processed to identify and quantitate the proteins using mass spectrometry based proteomic analysis Statistical analysis For analysis of the effects of chronic smoke exposure, data for Swisher Sweets and Captain Black were pooled and treated as a single group then one-way ANOVA was used to test overall differences between group means.
