Tobacco Smoking, risk that leads to COPD

Summary

Coronary Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is considerably increasing in the global burden over twenty years, due to a drastic increase in the use of tobacco throughout the world. Increased expenses required for the treatment and preventive strategies are increasing the economic as well as the social burden on different regions of the world. Respiratory diseases are the foremost reason of death in our country after the mortalities of heart morbidities. COPD is the major problem caused by tobacco smoking. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview and control over drastically increasing tobacco smoking in India, the challenges caused by the general public to the responses of policies. The objective is to minimize this risk which leads to the outcome that is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases. Also to mechanise and overlook data on the use of tobacco, to measure the extent and magnitude of the problem. The information gaps identification, policies revision and implementation and steps to reduce the burden of tobacco related problems in India and recommending different techniques for the betterment of future health scenario.

Report to Ministry Of Health About the Risk and its Outcome

Introduction

COPD is among one of the global burden of diseases that cause disabilities and mortalities all over the world. Likewise in India, it is considerably noticed as a chief health problem requiring attention from the initial level onwards (Jindal et al. 2003 p 137). For health care scenario, COPD is highly accountable for social and economic burden of our country. According to World Health Organization/ World Bank Global Burden Of Disease Study data, the frequency of COPD was expected at 9.34/1000 in male and 7.33/1000 in female (Murray & Lopez, 1996). It integrated all age groups. We can access lots of data information on burden and frequency of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, in developed countries, But as far as India is considered, a part of third world countries or developing countries, there is limited data available for this reason. In India, there are only few studies available on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease epidemiology. But the majority of them were on limited population groups. By studying different population studies, according to Jindal, Agarwal and Gupta, the prevalence of COPD is 5 % in male and 2.7% in females of 30 years and above of age (Jindal et al. 2001)

The epidemiology of COPD is mainly depending on the risk factors such as tobacco smoking, biomass fuel combustion and other exposures due to environment. Since 1964, the cigarette smoking is the most significant risk factor of COPD, including female, ...
