Vitamin C and vitamin E deficiencies in tobacco smokers

Smoking causes a deficiency in vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and vitamin E (tocopherol).
Vitamin E and vitamin C are antioxidants, capable of neutralizing in our body the free radicals produced during inflammatory processes (smoking, cancer, Alzheimer's disease). Indeed, the free radicals generated by tobacco smoke gradually destroy the alveolar membranes.
Vitamin E (tocopherol) works in synergy with vitamin C, which explains why the intake of vitamin C significantly reduces the vitamin E deficiency observed in tobacco smokers.
Tobacco smokers still have vitamin E and vitamin C deficiencies, it is for these reasons that we recommend dietary supplements rich in bioavailable natural vitamin C (acerola) and vitamin E.

ADVICE / HEALTH EDUCATION

As soon as you stop smoking:

· You will not absorb the irritating and toxic substances of cigarettes,

· You will see some improvements: progressive disappearance of headaches, cough, irritation of the throat, shortness of breath,

What is tobacco dependence?

Tobacco addiction is twofold:

· Psychological dependence:
Smoking a cigarette involves a ritual of automatic and repetitive gestures associated with particular circumstances (pleasure, response to stress, intellectual stimulation, support for morale, need for a gesture of conviviality). This is psychological and behavioral dependence.

· Physical dependence:
The need for the nicotine body is due to the effects of this substance on the nervous system. This is physical dependence. Failure to satisfy this need results in a sense of lack (see description in the chapter "How to overcome your physical dependence?").
Nicotinic substitutes aim to treat this dependence.

How to overcome your psychological addiction?

· Stopping smoking is necessary to increase your chances of success, but more:

o Choose a J day in the period that you think is the most favorable.

o Throw away your last pack of cigarettes, your lighter and put away your ashtrays.

o In a couple of smokers, it is preferable that the attempt to stop is made at the same time by both spouses.

· Tell your family and co-workers that you quit smoking. Ask them to respect your decision (no smoking near you, no longer offering you cigarettes).

· Prepare yourself to cope with the desire to smoke. It can occur suddenly and severely, especially during the first few weeks after the cessation of smoking, but does not last more than 3 or 4 minutes.
You have to foresee what you will do in this case and act very quickly so as not to "crack" as for example:

o drink a large glass of water,

o to chew gum,

o counting up to 100,

o do some deep breaths,

o out of the room,

o change activity ...

· Avoid situations associated with taking cigarettes (coffee, aperitif, ...), avoid temptations (settle with non-smokers).
Find cigarette compensation (leisure, sport, cultural activity ...).

CONTRAINDICATIONS (summary)
This medication should not be used in the following cases:
WARNING (Contents)
This medication should not be used in children under 18 years of age without prior medical consultation.
The use of these tablets must be accompanied by a cessation of smoking.
Precautions are necessary in case of severe heart disease, hypertension , stomach ulcer or duodenum , hyperthyroidism , pheochromocytoma , diabetes , renal or hepatic insufficiency or arteritis of the lower limbs. In these situations, a prior medical consultation is essential before using this medication; a cessation of smoking without substitution treatment may be necessary.
Do not use other medicines containing nicotine, including transdermal patches (see below).
Do not leave this medicine in the reach of children: it may cause serious accidents.
DRUG INTERACTIONS (summary)
The products contained in tobacco smoke can accelerate the rate of elimination of certain drugs, especially theophylline. When smoking cessation, these drugs can see their effect strengthened and signs of overdose may appear. Contact your doctor in case of any doubt.
PREGNANCY AND BREAST-FEEDING (summary)
Pregnancy :
Smoking in pregnant women may cause fetal growth retardation. Stopping tobacco is always desirable. In women who are highly dependent on nicotine, the use of this medication may be an aid, but the effects of nicotine alone on the fetus are poorly understood. This drug has the advantage of not exposing the fetus to other toxic substances present in tobacco smoke. In summary: if the ideal is not to smoke and not to expose the fetus to nicotine intake, the use of this drug is a lesser evil compared to tobacco.

Breastfeeding:
Nicotine passes into breast milk, and breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND DOSAGE (summary)
Place the tablet under the tongue to allow the slow and steady absorption of nicotine through the blood vessels of the tongue. The tablet dissolves for about 30 minutes.
The catch must be renewed every 1 to 2 hours.

Usual dosage:

  • Adult: 1 tablet, 8 to 12 times a day. In highly dependent smokers, the dosage may be increased to 2 tablets, 8 to 12 times daily. Do not exceed 30 tablets per day.
In practice, it is useful to know the signs of under or overdose to adapt the dosage after a few days of treatment:
  • the overdose results in the condition of the smoker who has smoked too much and is mainly reflected in a nauseous condition and headaches. Difficulty in sight or hearing, trembling, dizziness are also possible;
  • an under-dosage causes symptoms of lack: irritability, nervousness, stomach cramps (kind of painful hunger), difficulty concentrating.
As soon as the desire to smoke is overcome, gradually reduce the number of tablets, until complete cessation.
Do not exceed 6 months of continuous treatment.
TIPS (summary)
This medication can be used by smokers without medical advice. It is available without a prescription and can be accessed directly in certain pharmacies. Nevertheless, do not hesitate to have your choice chosen by your pharmacist. His advice is precious. He can help you determine the best time to quit and explain the causes of failure.
Nicotine taken by way oral replacing the cigarette has the same cardiovascular harmful than that in tobacco. Only the risk of lung cancer disappears. When smoking cessation is motivated by urgent medical reasons: recent infarction , arteritis , gastritis or ulcer , it is preferable to stop the absorption of nicotine in all its forms.
like all smoke-free methods used to help smokers, this drug can only be effective when the will to quit is personal and accompanied by strong motivation. it is this motivation that will make it possible to fight against the desire to smoke, without being forced to make constant appeal to the will that dulls over time. A cessation of lasting tobacco in the smoker assumes that the smoker considers tobacco to be a poison, an unacceptable addiction. It must be done to the idea that it will never smoke, from the beginning of weaning. Every day without tobacco must be experienced as a release, not as a calvary. The smoker who is in this state of mind is a good candidate for definitive weaning.
Stopping smoking, which is a real drug, causes many problems: weight gain is frequent, concentration disorders can last several weeks. A mild depressive condition is possible. Weight gain should be fought by a diet, and if possible by a sports program that has the advantage of reconciling the smoker with his body.
Do not hesitate to consult your doctor in case of difficulty; his advice and experience will be invaluable in the fight against relapses.
POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS (summary)
At the start of treatment: irritation of the mouth or throat usually decreases with continued treatment.
Frequent: nausea, digestive disturbances, hiccups, headache, palpitations , dry mouth, rhinitis, cough.
Rarely: heart rhythm disorder , allergic reaction .


GLOSSARY (summary)


stroke
Brain injury due to haemorrhage or abrupt obstruction of an artery. Depending on the size of the lesion, the consequences are more or less serious: temporary discomfort, paralysis, coma.
Abbreviation: AVC.


angina pectoris
Oppressive pain due to partial obstruction of the coronary arteries that irrigate the heart muscle. It can manifest in the chest, arms or jaw.
Synonym: angor.


arteritis
Arterial disease favored by smoking and most often localized to the legs. It is characterized by a thickening of the arterial walls which interferes with blood circulation and causes pain during walking (intermittent claudication). Lower limb arteritis increases the risk of myocardial infarction and requires medication. At an advanced stage, it can be treated surgically.
Synonym: Occlusive arteriopathy of the lower limbs.


diabetes
A general term for diseases that result in the emission of abundant urine and intense thirst. The word diabetes, used alone, is generally related to diabetes mellitus, which corresponds to a disruption in the regulation of the body's sugars by insulin. It results in increased sugar (glucose) in the blood and its possible presence in the urine. There are two types of diabetes mellitus: Type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes, which requires insulin injections, and type 2 or non-insulin dependent diabetes, which can initially be treated with oral antidiabetics.


transdermal devices
System, sometimes called patch or patch, allowing the absorption of a drug through the skin: it ensures the diffusion of the active substance to the blood vessels of the dermis. The substance then circulates in the blood and can act as if it had been swallowed or injected. This device avoids the first-pass effect of the liver.


duodenum
A part of the intestine into which food from the stomach penetrates.


depressed state
State of moral suffering associating a demotivation, a fatigue, a feeling of uselessness, of self-depreciation. In the absence of treatment, the depressive state may develop into a serious depression with a feeling of incurability, guilt, and a suicidal risk.


gastritis
Inflammation of the stomach favored by stress, tobacco, alcohol and certain drugs such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs.


hypertension
Excess blood pressure (tension) in the arteries. This pressure is provided by the heart and is expressed by two digits. It is maximal during contraction of the heart, or systole (first digit), and minimal during cardiac rest, or diastole (second digit). High blood pressure is characterized by a maximum (systolic) pressure greater than or equal to 16, or a minimum (diastolic) pressure greater than or equal to 9.5. Treatment is initiated when these numbers are exceeded or for lower blood pressure in some people with cardiovascular risk factors: heredity, smoking, diabetes, excess cholesterol. Permanent antihypertensive therapy reduces damage to the heart and blood vessels due to high blood pressure.


hyperthyroidism
Excessive thyroid hormones, including heart failure, poor heat tolerance, weight loss and chronic fatigue.


myocardial infarction
Destruction of part of the cardiac muscle (myocardium), deprived of blood by obstruction of its arteries.


hepatic
Inability of the liver to perform its function, which is essentially the elimination of some waste, but also the synthesis of many biological substances essential to the body: albumin, cholesterol and coagulation factors (vitamin K, etc.).


renal failure
Inability of the kidneys to eliminate waste or medicinal substances. Advanced renal insufficiency does not necessarily result in a decrease in the amount of urine excreted. Only a blood test and creatinine dosage may reveal this disease.


mucous
Tissue (membrane) that lines the cavities and ducts of the body communicating with the outside (digestive tract, respiratory tract, urinary tract, etc.).


palpitations
Abnormal perception of irregular heartbeat.


phenylketonuria
An inherited disease that is characterized by the absence of an enzyme and that leads to the accumulation in the blood of a toxic product. Screening is systematic at birth. Treatment is based on a specific diet during early childhood.


pheochromocytoma
Very rare tumor of the adrenal glands, manifested mainly by seizures of hypertension.


dosage

Printzmetal
angina pectoris a particular form of angina pectoris due to spasm of the coronary arteries.


allergic reaction
Reaction due to hypersensitivity of the organism to a drug. Allergic reactions can take a wide variety of aspects: urticaria, angioedema, eczema, eruption of pimples resembling measles, etc. Anaphylactic shock is a generalized allergic reaction that causes discomfort due to a sudden drop in blood pressure.


sublingual
A route of administration of a drug substance that allows rapid absorption by veins under the tongue. The medication should be kept under the tongue long enough to pass through the bloodstream (a few minutes in general).


overdose
Excessive intake of a drug may result in an increase in the intensity of adverse effects or even in the development of specific adverse effects.
This overdose may result from accidental or voluntary poisoning for suicide, so consult your local Poison Control Center (listed in the appendix to the book). However, in most cases, overdose is the result of an error in the understanding of the prescription, or the search for an increase in efficacy by exceeding the recommended dosage. Finally, untimely self-medication may lead to excessive absorption of the same substance contained in different drugs. Some drugs are particularly prone to this risk because they are (wrongly) considered to be harmless: vitamins A and D, aspirin, etc. Stopping or decreasing drug intake helps to remove the disorders associated with an overdose.


symptoms
Trouble felt by a person with an illness. The same symptom can translate different diseases and the same disease does not necessarily give the same symptoms in all the patients.


heart rhythm disorders
Severe or benign anomaly of the frequency of contractions of the heart. Extrasystole is contraction occurring just before or after a normal contraction, often perceived as a slight shock in the chest. Fibrillation is an irregular and disorderly contraction.

ulcer
Injury of skin, mucous membranes or cornea.
  • Leg ulcer: chronic wound due to poor circulation of blood.
  • Gastroduodenal ulcer: a localized wound in the mucosa of the stomach or duodenum due to excess acidity and very often to the presence of a bacterium (Helicobacter pylori). The ulcer is favored by stress, alcohol, smoking and certain medications (aspirin, NSAIDs, etc.).


way
