CDC Vital Signs offers recent data on the important health topics of key diseases, conditions, or risk factors. Data is gathered from CDC’s national monitoring systems to show progress in important areas of public health, and the ways people can increase their health, prevent or control disease.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death, disease, and disability in the US. Each year, around 443,000 people die from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, and another 8.6 million suffer from a serious illness from smoking. Two new CDC reports indicate that, despite the dangers of tobacco use, about 46.6 million adults in the US smoke, and 88 million nonsmokers are exposed to secondhand smoke.

Aside from smoking,irritants and pollution what are the diseases that can cause COPD?
Question by kiamboy: Aside from smoking,irritants and pollution what are the diseases that can cause COPD?
Is tuberculosis can cause COPD?
Best answer:
Answer by goodguy_46947
Most cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) develop after repeatedly breathing in fumes and other things that irritate and damage the lungs and airways. Cigarette smoking is the most common irritant that causes COPD. Pipe, cigar, and other types of tobacco smoke can also cause COPD, especially if the smoke is inhaled. Breathing in other fumes and dusts over a long period of time may also cause COPD. The lungs and airways are highly sensitive to these irritants. They cause the airways to become inflamed and narrowed, and they destroy the elastic fibers that allow the lung to stretch and then return to its resting shape. This makes breathing air in and out of the lungs more difficult.
Other things that may irritate the lungs and contribute to COPD include:
Working around certain kinds of chemicals and breathing in the fumes for many years
Working in a dusty area over many years
Heavy exposure to air pollution
Being around secondhand smoke (smoke in the air from other people smoking cigarettes) also plays a role in an individual developing COPD.
Tuberculosis ? I don’t think so.

Why would it take Johnson & Johnson 2 more years to remove cancer causing chemicals from its baby shampoo?
Question by : Why would it take Johnson & Johnson 2 more years to remove cancer causing chemicals from its baby shampoo?
Two chemicals known to cause cancer in babies remain in Johnson & Johnson’s baby shampoo sold in the U.S, even though the company already makes versions without them in other countries. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has unsuccessfully been urging the world’s largest health care company for 2 1/2 years to remove the cancer-causing chemicals (dioxane and quaternium-15) from Johnson’s Baby Shampoo. Johnson & Johnson said it is reducing or gradually phasing out the chemicals, but it would take two more years to do so. That would be 4 1/2 years from the time it was discovered by Johnson & Johnson.
According to a report, obtained by The Associated Press, one of the suspect chemicals, quaternium-15, is a preservative that works by releasing formaldehyde. Formaldehyde, used as an embalming fluid, was declared a known human carcinogen this past June by the U.S. National Toxicology Program.
Formaldehyde is also a skin, eye and respiratory irritant, and Quaternium-15 is still an ingredient in Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo sold in the U.S., Canada, China, Indonesia and Australia, but research this summer found it’s not in the same product sold in at least eight other countries, from the U.K. and Denmark to Japan and South Africa.
According to Analytical Sciences LLC of Petaluma, Calif., 1,4-dioxane was contained in Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo, Oatmeal Baby Wash, Moisture Care Baby Wash and Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash. Analytical Sciences also tested multiple Johnson & Johnson baby product samples from the U.S. finding the chemicals in many of them. Consumer groups in South Africa, Sweden and Japan stated that quaternium-15 was not being used in products in their countries.
There is evidence that formaldehyde is associated with nose, lung and blood cancers such as leukemia. An infant’s scalp is more permeable than an adult’s, so exposure to the chemicals cause more harm for babies than adults. To expose a child, during a very vulnerable period of development, when the effect is even greater, and at a time when Johnson & Johnson knows of its dangers, it still intends to take two more years before it stops using those chemicals in its products.
Do we need less governmental regulation, so that corporations do not have to go to the trouble of making products safe? According to Republican legislators, we do need less regulation, because it cuts into the profit margin.

Q&A: Possible cures for cancer, Ways to keep it from metastasizing?
Question by : Possible cures for cancer, Ways to keep it from metastasizing?
Okay, it might not seem so real now but we HAVE to start thinking outside of the box if we want to get anywhere with cancer. Okay, curing cancer, well lets start with saying a tumor is found. No signs it has metastasized anywhere else. We give it a destructive virus and it destroys all the cancer cells. Seems impossible right? Wrong. Take Tamiflu it doesn’t cure the flu but keeps it from spreading until the flu has run it’s course and leaves the body. If we did the same with this, we could cure cancer in the future. It kills off the cells, and the rest of your body would (hopefully) be spared because of the medicine. Once the virus has run it’s course, the tumor will probably have been essentially dead. In the same way as keeping the virus from spreading, what if we could keep cancer from Metastasizing to other parts of the body? Don’t bring stupid answers like ” look what happened on I Am Legend ” it’s a movie. If we didn’t think outside the box, how could we have got Penicillin? It comes from Mold, who would have thought Mold could serve such a purpose?
you misread my statement. The tumor gets a virus (quite nasty virus, one that rips and destroys the cells completely) Next time read it thoroughly.
Best answer:
Answer by Quietscherin
It’s an interesting thought but Tumors can’t “run their course”. Yes the body tries to fight tumors but it can’t succeed, especially with malignant ones. Chemo and radiation therapy do basically what it is you’re talking about. They attack fast growing cells, which means the tumor, unfortunately it also attacks healthy fast growing cells. A tumor can’t just die like a virus, it’s made of living tissue with a blood supply and with a blood supply means metastazing, something you’re talking about wouldn’t work. The best bet for treating cancer is to improve on what we already know helps, like chemo and radiation. There are already really high tech meds that are very promising (look up “targeted therapy”) and researchers are already looking up other options like defining each tumors susceptibility towards specific chemo therapies.
To the new statement: How is this more realistic? How would you keep the virus from spreading? A tumor is just out of control tissue, it’s connected to healthy tissue, to a blood and lymph supply. This is why chemo also makes people loose hair and become sick, it spreads throughout the body. You can’t inject something into the tumor without the rest of the body receiving it as well. Researchers are considering viruses but they have to solve the exact problem I’ve stated first
