Cigarette smoking disrupts the body's essential metal balance, leading to harmful health effects. This review examines how metals from smoking impact human health and disease development.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Toxicology
  • Human Physiology

Background:

  • Metals are essential for human health but toxic at high concentrations.
  • Cigarette smoking introduces metals into the body, disrupting metal homeostasis.
  • Understanding these effects is crucial for public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the consequences of metal exposure from cigarette smoking.
  • To discuss the human body's physiological responses to these metals.
  • To link specific metals in cigarette smoke to human disease.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on metal content in tobacco, smoke, and biological samples.
  • Analysis of physiological responses to metal exposure.
  • Correlation of metal exposure with disease etiology.

Main Results:

  • Tobacco plants accumulate metals, which are transferred to smoke.
  • Cigarette smoke delivers various metals into the human circulatory system and organs.
  • Elevated metal levels are associated with numerous smoking-related diseases.

Conclusions:

  • Cigarette smoking significantly alters metal homeostasis.
  • Metals delivered via smoking are implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases.
  • Reducing smoking-related metal exposure is vital for preventing disease.
