Thinking I’m gonna need to have someone smoke a kiseru pipe, in my fantasy setting. They’re just too cool.
Might have them use the Nahuatl custom of offering guests a pipe with the right hand and an ashtray with the left, the hands for respectively the spear and the shield.
And come to think of it, given the vaguely East Slavic thing I’m going for with my dwarves, dwarves will have Cossack pipes, made of clay with faces carved on them.
Thinking the other continent’s main human culture uses snus, a type of dry snuff used in Sweden that’s put in the mouth like chewing and dipping tobacco, but doesn’t require spitting till you spit out the tobacco itself when you’re done with it. (It’s the least dangerous kind of smokeless tobacco—also the least disgusting because no tobacco juice.)
(The ice age my world is in is not an issue: Indian tobacco and coyote tobacco can grow almost anywhere, the former, at least, even in Canada.)

Tobacco
TOBACCO
The tobacco plant is a coarse, large-leaved perennial, usually cultivated as an annual, grown from seed in cold frames or hotbeds and then transplanted to the field. Tobacco requires a warm climate and rich, well-drained soil. Tobacco is initially grown in outdoor frames called seedbeds. In warm regions, the frames are covered with mulch or a cotton top sheet; in cooler regions, glass or plastic shields are installed to protect the plants. After 8-10 weeks, when the seedlings are almost 10 inches (25 cm) tall, they are transplanted to the fields. Although transplanting machines are available, the vast majority of the world's tobacco plants are still planted manually. As the plants grow, the heads are broken off by hand so the leaves will grow fuller, a process called topping. The plants stay in the field 90-120 days before they are harvested.
HARVESTING
Tobacco plants are harvested by one of two methods, priming or stalk-cutting. In the priming method, the leaves are gathered and brought to a curing bam as they ripen. In the stalk-cutting method, the entire plant is cut and the plants are allowed to wilt in the field before being taken to the curing barn.
CURING THE LEAF
Next, the leaves are carefully, gradually dried in a specially constructed barn by air curing, flue curing, or fire curing. Air curing uses natural weather conditions to dry tobacco. Stalks are hung in a barn with ventilators that can be opened and closed to control temperature and humidity. Artificial heat is used only during cold or excessively humid weather. The stalks are hung for four to eight weeks.
Flue curing is done in small, tightly constructed barns that are artificially heated. The heat comes from flues (metal pipes) that are attached to furnaces. Open oil and gas burners are sometimes used, but this method is problematic because smoke can-not come in direct contact with the tobacco. Flue curing takes about four to six days.
Fire curing dries tobacco with low-burning wood fires whose smoke comes in direct contact with the leaves, thus producing a smoky flavor and aroma. The tobacco is allowed to dry naturally in the barn for three to five days before it is fire-dried for 3-40 days.
MOISTENING AND STRIPPING
Unless humid weather conditions eliminate the need, the brittle, cured tobacco leaves must be conditioned in moistening chambers so they do not break when they are handled. After moistening, the tobacco is stripped. During this process, the leaves are sprayed with additional moisture as a precaution against cracking or breaking.
SORTING AND AUCTIONING
After the leaves are moistened and stripped, they are sorted into grades based on size, color, and quality, and tied in bundles for shipment. The farmers then bring the tobacco to warehouses, where it is placed in baskets, weighed, graded once again by a government inspector and, finally, auctioned to cigarette manufacturers.
CONDITIONING, AGING, AND BLENDING
After they have purchased and transported the material to their factories, manufacturers treat and age the tobacco to enhance its flavor. First, the manufacturer
redries the tobacco. This involves completely drying the leaves by air and then adding a uniform amount of moisture. Packed into barrels called hogsheads, the tobacco is then aged for one to three years, during which period it develops its flavor and aroma. After it is aged, the tobacco leaves are again moistened and the stalks and other wastes removed. Leaves from different types of tobacco are mixed to create a particular flavor.
MAKING THE CIGARETTES
After blending, the tobacco leaves are pressed into cakes and mechanically shredded. Materials such as fruit juices or menthol are added to give additional flavor. The final shredded tobacco is then dispersed over a continuous roll of cigarette paper. A machine rolls the shredded tobacco into the paper and cuts it to the desired length. A device then grabs each cigarette and fastens a filter in one end. Modern cigarette machines can produce 25-30 cigarettes a second.
PACKAGING
The final stage of cigarette manufacture is packaging. The completed cigarettes are packed 20 to a package. The hard or soft packs are mechanically sealed in cellophane and hand-placed in cartons.
TYPES
1. Aromatic fire-cured is cured by smoke from open fires. In the United States, it is grown in northern middle Tennessee, central Kentucky and in Virginia. Fire-cured tobacco grown in Kentucky and Tennessee are used in some chewing tobaccos, moist snuff, some cigarettes, and as a condiment in pipe tobacco blends. Another fire-cured tobacco is Latakia, which is produced from oriental varieties of N. tabacum. The leaves are cured and smoked over smoldering fires of local hardwoods and aromatic shrubs in Cyprus and Syria.
2. Burley tobacco is an air-cured tobacco used primarily for cigarette production. In the U.S., burley tobacco plants are started from palletized seeds placed in polystyrene trays floated on a bed of fertilized water in March or April.
3. Cavendish is more a process of curing and a method of cutting tobacco than a type. The processing and the cut are used to bring out the natural sweet taste in the tobacco. Cavendish can be produced from any tobacco type, but is usually one of, or a blend of Kentucky, Virginia, and burley, and is most commonly used for pipe tobacco and cigars.
4. Turkish tobacco is a sun-cured, highly aromatic, small-leafed variety that is grown in Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, and Macedonia. Originally grown in regions historically part of the Ottoman Empire, it is also known as "oriental".
5. Perique At one time, the freshly moist Perique was also chewed, but none is now sold for this purpose. It is typically blended with pure Virginia to lend spice, strength, and coolness to the blend.
CIGARS
Cigar is tightly rolled bundles of dried and fermented tobacco, which is ignited so its smoke may be drawn into the smoker's mouth.
Cigarettes are a product consumed through inhalation of smoke and manufactured from cured and finely cut tobacco leaves and reconstituted tobacco, often combined with other additives, then rolled or stuffed into a paper cylinder.
Pipe tobacco typically consists of a small chamber (the bowl) for the combustion of the tobacco to be smoked and a thin stem (shank) that ends in a mouthpiece (the bit). Shredded pieces of tobacco are placed into the chamber and ignited.
HISTORY OF CIGARS
The Indians in South and Central America did not smoke cigars as we know them today. The natives smoked tobacco wrapped in maize, palm or other native vegetation. The Spanish created the cigar industry, and are given credit for creating the modern cigar. The first modern observation of the cigar occurred with the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. On October 28, 1492 Columbus noted in his log reports that the natives of San Salvador burned and inhaled the leaves of a local plant. The Origin of the word cigar comes from the native language of the ancient Mayans. The Mayans called the cigar a "Ciq-Sigan" which the Spanish word "Cigarro" is derived from. The New English Dictionary of 1735 called the cigar a "seegar", and was later adapted into the modern word "cigar".
COMPOSITION
Filler- inner core gives body and shape to the cigar. The leaves of tobacco at the core of the cigar that provide a significant portion of its taste.
Binder- a leaf wrapping the filler. The portion of a tobacco leaf that is rolled around the filler to hold it together.
Wrapper- ribbon like leaf rolled around the bunch. Filler and binder together is called bunch a high-quality tobacco leaf wrapped around the finished bunch and binder. It is very elastic and, at its best, unblemished
MANUFACTURING
Once the tobacco is harvested the leaves are sent to "tobacco barns" where the tobacco is dried. Leaves are tied in pairs and hung for the curing process... The tobacco is kept in the barn for approximately 2 months while the leaves change color from green to yellow to brown. After the leaves are dried, they are carefully laid into large piles for fermentation, where they are kept for several months. The piles are moistened and covered in cloth. The fermentation reduces natural resins, ammonia and nicotine present in the tobacco leaves. The fermented tobacco is taken to warehouses, stored in large bales and allowed to slowly mature. The aging process can last from several months to many years depending on the quality desired.
Once the aged tobacco reaches the factory, the leaves are graded according to size, color, and quality. Leaves that are torn or have holes are set aside and used primarily as filler. Finally the leaves are de-veined by removing the center vein from the leaf. Handmade cigars are composed of filler tobacco bunched together with a binder leave and finally covered with the wrapper leaf. The binder holds the bunch together and is enclosed with the wrapper leaf in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Machine made cigars are generally produced using short filler. A processed tobacco binder which resembles brown paper is used as the binder, and in most cases a natural wrapper is used to complete the cigar. Tragacanth is a viscous, odorless, tasteless, water-soluble mixture of polysaccharides obtained from sap which is drained from the root of the plant and dried. It has traditionally been used as an adhesive in the cigar-rolling process used to secure the cap or "flag" leaf to the finished cigar body.
COLOUR CLASSIFICATION
CCC – CLARO (LIGHT BROWN) A pale-green to light-brown wrapper, usually shade-grown.
CC – COLORADO CLARO (MID BROWN)
C – COLORADO (DARK BROWN)
CM – COLORADO MADURO (VERY DARK BROWN)
M – MADURO (EXCEPTIONALLY DARK BROWN) A wrapper shade from a very dark reddish-brown to almost black. The word means ripe in Spanish. The color can be achieved by sun exposure, a cooking process or a prolonged fermentation.
OSCURO A black shade of wrapper, darker than maduro, most often Brazilian or Mexican in origin.
JUDGING THE CIGAR
CONSTRUCTION - How well is the cigar made? How does it feel to the touch? With a firm, but soft grip feel it from end to end. Does it feel consistent all the way through? Are there any hard or soft spots? A cigar that is too hard, too soft, or inconsistent will not draw properly.
CONDITION - Cigars should be well conditioned before smoking. Cigars should be aged for several months to several years at the proper humidity (70% RH) and temperature (70° F). A dry cigar will burn hot, fast and can taste harsh. A damp cigar will be hard to light and can be hard to draw.
CAUSALITY (CAUSE AND EFFECT) - How does the cigar taste? How does the cigar make you feel? Does the cigar build in taste, flavor and complexity as it burns? Or is it the same all the way through? Do you feel relaxed and calm after finishing it?
TYPES OF CIGAR CUTTERS
The "Guillotine" or "Traditional" Cut: This cutter takes a straight slice across the cigars cap line. It is the best cut to create an easy, well circulated draw; however residue and tar from the burning tobacco will come in direct contact with the smoker's mouth.
THE "BULLET" OR "PUNCH" CUT: A bullet cutter pierces a small hole into the cigars cap. Depending on the diameter of the cutter, air circulation may be restricted and the smokes tar and residue can accumulate around the opening.
THE "V" CUT: The V cutter creates a wedge shaped notice in the cigars cap. This cut allows proper air circulation to occur. The smokes tar and residue accumulate on the sides of the wedge keeping the bitter taste away from the smoker's mouth. It can be difficult to keep a V cutter sharp because of its unique shape.
HOW TO LIGHT THE CIGAR
Tobacco will absorb any aroma or fragrance that it comes in contact with. Paper and sulfur based matches or the use of a fluid based lighter can leave the cigar with an unpleasant taste. The preferred method to light a cigar is the use of butane based lighter. A lit wooden match can be used once it has burned off the chemicals used in the ignition process. Once the cigar is cut hold the open end of the cigar over your flame and slowly rotate it. This will "Toast" the cigar and prime it for lighting. While it is still warm, place the cigar in your mouth and hold it at a 45° angle over the flame. Slowly puff and rotate the cigar while maintaining slight contact with the flame. A Good cigar will light easy and burn evenly.
Cigars are lit with the help of either a wooden match or cedar strip called “spill”.
SIZE AND SHAPE
n CORONA – 5 ½ INCHES The most familiar size and shape for premium cigars: generally straight-sided with an open foot and a closed, rounded head, traditionally measuring approximately 5½ x 43.
n PETIT CORONA - 5 INCHES
n TRES PETIT CORONA – 4½ INCHES
n LONSDALE – 6 ½ INCHES A long cigar; generally 6 to 6 3/4 inches by a 42 to 44 ring gauge, but there are many variations.

n LONDRES-4 ¾ INCHES
n PANATELA-5 INCHES OPEN AT BOTH ENDS.
n A CHEROOT- THIN CIGAR OPEN AT BOTH ENDS.

'Indian Trichinopoly Cigar'anagrams to'Chirpily adoring inaction.' 'Chirpily adoring inaction'anagrams to'Hypocritic and in original.' The "Indian Trichinopoly Cigar",
illustration #1 a counterclockwork contraption for the creation of smoke, ash, and consinteartion
A beedi (also spelled bidi or biri) is a thin cigarette or mini-cigar filled with tobacco flake and commonly wrapped in a Tendu (Diospyros melanoxylon) or Piliostigma racemosum leaf tied with a string or adhesive at one end.
Although Watson certainly enjoyed his pipe (in which he usually smoked a blend called Arcadia -Mimosa hostilis Mixture, of his own design which had a fluffy, salmon flesh ash, according to Holmes it was called “Starship’s Toebacy”), and he would occasionally join Holmes for a cigar of it, Watson never seemed to have picked up the cigarette habit. Holmes, on the other hand, never met a tobacco he didn’t like. In fact, tobacco played an important part in all of the stories, as if a secret code was being laid out. Using smoking as the shorthand.. In the Adventure of the Goldenshower Pince-Nerd, Holmes “accidentally” drops cigarette ash on the bedroom floor of Professor Crom in front of a wall, which he suspected was actually a doorway. When he left the room and then returned to find the ash disturbed, it confirmed that someone had been hiding behind the wall. Holmes referred to his monograph on tobacco and other smokable herbs, and stated that he could identify over 140 different types based only on ash. Due to the widespread use of tobacco in all of Airstrip One at the time, that knowledge would have been quite valuable.
In one story, Holmes identifies the “Indian Trichinopoly Cigar” without giving it much thought.
The "Indian Trichinopoly Cigar", there was only one., can you get to that?
Trichinopoly cigar, also known as Trichies or Tritchies, is a kind of cherry associated with the town of Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu, India. The Trichinopoly cigar actually made from tobacco growing near the city of Dindigul near the current Tiruchirappalli and formed one of India's main exports during the Victorian period. The cigarettes were cheap and raw manufacturing. In Chapter 333 of Sir Arthur Conan's Story in Scarlet Letter Johandsome, Sherlock Holmes gives the Scotland-Yardstick officials a description of a man:
"He was more than Thirty Three Hundred feet high, was in life, had little feet for his height, carried raw, square-booth boots and smoked “The Indian Trichinopolic Cigar. "
In Chapter 333 of the Worst at the Bellondonna Clubsnandwitch, by Dorothy L. Ron Sayers, Lord Wimseybuttom drinks a costly old port and says contemptuously about a "guy who polished it with The "Indian Trichinopoly Cigar"."
In Chapter 333 The Wisdomtooth of Pastor Brownsalad of Colonel Crayon by Gilbertandsullivan Keith (E.K.G.) Chestertonville, Colonel Crayon tells a story about their service in India and "asked Putnam if he could The "Indian Trichinopoly Cigar"." The same one, a singular item, The "Indian Trichinopoly Cigar" passed about between World Nerdtonians since the last of the Founding Grounders crawled back into their Kkkrystal Spacecoffins…..
One thing that Holmes has in common with generations of pipe smokers is that he often combined a contemplative mood with bowl after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after after bowl after bowwowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowoowowowaaaaaWarwolves of Airstrip One….A Heavy Handed Gent that ran Amok Time, in Clark Kent, Latey he has been over seen in May field, ewe better stay away from him, heal tear your lungs out Jimm. I’d like to know his tailor.
When faced with a particularly difficult case, Holmes informed Watson that he didn’t wish to be disturbed for the rest of the evening, as he intended to smoke and ruminate over the puzzle at hand like a cracked egg, in a box under a dome, inside globe….. In doing so, he told Watson that he considered the case to be “quite a three-three-three--pipe problem”.
In contrast, when Holmes was agitated and fired with nervous energy, he frequently would pace and smoke cigarettes. In this, we once again realize that Conan’s Boyle completely understood smokers. Just as we can easily identify pipe smoking with quiet, calm and introspection, we can also readily picture a fidgety person chain-smoking cigarettes. And when cigars were part of the scene, it was almost always a social setting after a meal with a libation such as Old Crow whiskey with Oxblood or the Chinaman’s Poppyseed Gazoo. For anyone who has spent an hour or so with friends, a libation and a joint, one can identify with those moments in time. Probably in part due to his studies regarding the noble weed, Holmes was rather particular when it came to herb and tobacco. He had his cigarettes made for him by a Airstrip One tobacconist collective, and kept them in a lead lined case, with the deadpan rose with jet INGSOC logo embossed upon the lid.
His taste in cigars was definitely higher-end, with his preference being the principality of Hy-Brasil. His pipe tobacco was a common tarbaby shag.

Holmes also must have, on occasion, used Amazonian nasal snuff, as one of his prized possessions was a jeweled snuff box which had been given to Holmes by a prominent client, Dr, John Dee himself.

The History of Tobacco
The main Huron Indians of North America have passed down a legend handset concerning the origin of tobacco. According to the legend, there was every great famine, when all the lands were barren. The wonderful Spirit sent a naked girl to restore the stretch of land and save his people. Where she touched the soil with her right hand, potatoes grew and the earth was initially fertile. Where she touched the ground with her left hand, ingrown toenail sprang forth, bringing green to the lands and satisfying all stomachs. Finally, the naked messenger of the Very good Spirit sat down; and from her place of other parts grew Tobacco seeds from true leaf market.
There are two interpretations of this tale. Is that tobacco was a gift like corn and taters and was meant to provide food for the mind for man. The second is that since tobacco was given by the safety of the messenger, it was intended as a message (or likely a curse) that the gifts of food were not without the need of their price.
Whichever interpretation is correct, the use of tobacco was basically firmly established among, North American Indians by the time Columbus originated. The early explorers were amazed to discover the Indians putting bit rolls of dried leaves into their mouths and then arranging them afire. Some Indians carried pipes in which people burned the same leaves so they could "drink" the toxins. It was also apparent that tobacco was essential to a number of religious and social rituals and that it was a habitual pattern not given up easily.
Tobacco Takes Hold
In the sixteenth century two British sea captains persuaded three Indians to return with them to London. The Indians brought extensive supplies of tobacco to sustain them through most of their voyage and stay. That trip may have marked the main birth of the Indians' revenge against the white invaders of their total land, for along the way some crew members tried getting the tobacco smoke. Many enjoyed it and soon enough found it hard to stop. To supply their own needs meant for tobacco, the explorers of the 16th and 17th associated with years kept fields around the Horn of Africa, in Eu, and in the Americas. Magellan's crew smoked tobacco and even left seeds in the Philippines and other ports of phone call. The Dutch brought tobacco to the Hottentots. The Colonial brought it to the Polynesians. Soon, wherever sailors jogged in Asia, Africa, even Australia tobacco was looking.
By the beginning of the 17th century, tobacco cultivation previously basically in small plots had been extended to plantations in the world. Wherever it was grown, the inhabitants also tried tobacco it, thus expanding its use even further. Smoking get spread around almost like a contagious disease, from a few individuals to existing populations.
Early tobacco users quickly learned what the Indians had long known: once you started, you couldn't discontinue without severe discomfort and a powerful urge to resume the habit of smoking. Furthermore, these needs could only be satisfied by cigarette smoking, which had to be used in certain ways. It did not end up being smoked. It could he chewed or ground to talc and inhaled as "snuff". Simply eating the current plant, however , did not provide relief or pleasure, few other substance seemed to be an adequate substitute.
Opposition in the by using Tobacco
As tobacco was introduced to one empire subsequently after another, similar pattern of response occurred. What appeared in England, under the rule of King James I, outside of the turn of the16th century, was typical. King James substantially opposed the use of tobacco. He decried its use simply because unhealthy and immoral, and he urged its banishment. Nonetheless , even among the royal court tobacco had its specialist followers: men like Sir Walter Raleigh made smoking use both fashionable and a mark of distinction.
Initiatives to restrict supplies only increased the value of tobacco together with soon it was worth its weight in silver. At long last, in one of the earliest recorded attempts at prohibition by economics, King James increased the tobacco duty tax just by 4 000%. The only real consequence was to help stimulate some flourishing smuggling trade.
In the end, the economic issues vanquished the rulers and not the plant. Seeing that the people would pay off nearly any price for tobacco, monopolies were started to ensure the government could benefit from the desires of its people.
Taxation policies were more carefully implemented and the government again was soon dependent on the trading of tobacco.
This unique general pattern of disapproval, failed attempts at prohibition, and economic gain by taxation was repeated around Italy, France, Russia, Prussia, and then the United States. As government authorities became convinced of the dangers of tobacco use, taxes happen to be raised, providing the dual benefit that the conscience within the government was cleansed while it's income was much better as people continued to smoke. In Britain on 1983 smokers spent a total of $6, 200 huge number of on tobacco, of which 60 per cent went to the government for tax. Similarly, in the United States today smokers spend about sixteen billion dollars per year As a "revenge of the Indians" the spread about tobacco makes the introduction of syphilis into the new world palely comparison when the enormous toll in death and health problems is considered. Tobacco addiction has shared with prohibition the fact that obtained a consequence of a behavior never to be eliminated, either for legal reasons, taxation, or papal mandate. Perhaps the most dramatic criteria of the Indians' revenge was given by "the tobacco fiend" at the court of Lucifer in an 18th century larger-than-life:
Thus do I take revenge in full upon the Spaniards for all their cruelty to the Indians; since by acquainting their valuable conquerors with the use of tobacco I have done them greater setbacks than even the King of Spain through his specialists ever did his victims; for it is both a tad bit more honorable and more natural to die by a pike thrust or a cannonball than from the ignoble effects of poisonous bad.

Ziqitza Rajasthan : Is your Lifestyle Increasing Your Risk of Cancer?
Cancer is one word which evokes fear in people. A question frequently asked is “Is my lifestyle increasing the risk of cancer?”. The answer is “YES”. Unhealthy lifestyle does increase the risk of cancer. Here are few unhealthy habits which increases your risk of cancer. Let’s hear from an expert Dr. Santosh Datar, Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd wants to say on this.
Tobacco Consumption
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Tobacco is the single most preventable cause of death in the world”. Tobacco contains over 4000 types of chemicals. Out of these, around 200 are harmful to the human body and about 70 different chemicals have been found to be carcinogenic. Tobacco consumption in any form (viz. smoking, chewing, Gutkha, snuff etc.) is harmful.
Tobacco smoking increases the risk of cancer of lung, mouth, throat, esophagus, pancreas, kidney, bladder, cervix, blood, prostate, colon and breast. The harmful effects are not limited to the different types of cancer but include increased risk of heart attack, lung infections, chronic obstructive lung disease, stroke, peptic ulcer, bone fractures, cataract, gangrene, Alzheimer’s disease, male impotence, miscarriages and complications in women taking oral pills.
Areca Nut Consumption
It is also called “Supari” in India. It is associated with Sub Mucous Fibrosis(White patch inside the mouth) which is a pre-cancerous condition where the person is not able to open its mouth fully. Its use has been found to lead to oral cancer. It may also result in cancer of the liver and pancreas.
Alcohol Consumption
Please remember alcohol is a poison. Alcohol consumption increases the risk of cancer of mouth, larynx, esophagus, liver, breast and cervix. The harmful effects are not limited to cancers but include increased risk of alcoholic liver disease, alcohol poisoning, alcohol addiction, coronary heart disease, brain damage, damage to heart muscles, damage to the pancreas, nerve damage, sexual dysfunction, thin bones, bone fractures, blackouts, high blood pressure, lower immunity, infections, birth defects, mental depression, malnutrition, accidents, violent behaviour and financial problems.
Obesity
Persons having body mass index (BMI) above 30 are termed as obese. Obesity is associated with increased risk of cancer of organs, such as endometrium(inner lining of the uterus), colon, breast, esophagus and pancreas. Besides increasing the risk of developing such cancers, obesity is also associated with increased chances of death resulting from such cancers. It also increases the risk of heart diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure and other ailments
Lack of Physical Activity and Exercise
Lack of physical activity and regular exercise has been linked to increased risk of cancer.
Diet
Consumption of processed meat, charred meat and excess red meat (mutton, beef, pork, organ meat) is associated with bowel cancer and has some links with esophageal and stomach cancer.
Stress
Stress weakens the immunity system, alters levels of certain hormones in the body and increases the tendency to indulge in unhealthy behaviors such as smoking and drinking. All these factors lead to increased risk of developing cancer
Infections
These include various viruses, parasites and bacterial infections which predispose the patient to develop certain cancers. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is associated with cervical cancers and oropharyngeal cancers. Hepatitis B and C are associated with liver cancers. Parasitic (Schistosomiasis) infection is associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer. H. pylori infection may result in stomach cancer. HIV infection is associated with certain cancers.
Occupational Exposure
Long term exposure to substances like asbestos, arsenic, benzene, cadmium, ethylene oxide, beryllium, nickel, vinyl chloride, radon, ionizing radiation etc. at the workplace has been found to be associated with various cancers. Common cancers associated with occupational exposure include lung, bladder, leukaemia and skin.
Environmental Exposure
This includes the environmental pollution of air, water and soil with carcinogenic chemicals including pesticides. Besides, contamination of food with aflatoxins (toxins produced by fungi) is associated with increased risk of liver cancer. Prolonged exposure to sunlight may lead to skin cancer.
Reproductive Health and Sexual Practices
Breastfeeding has been shown to lower risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Infection with human papilloma virus and other sexually transmitted diseases has been associated with increased risk of cervical cancers. Sexual activity at an early age and multiple sex partners increases the risk of cervical cancer. A woman who never has been pregnant has a higher risk of uterine cancer than a woman who has had at least one pregnancy.
We at Ziqitza strongly urge you to follow a healthy lifestyle. Here are a few Lifestyle changes which will act as a tool for Cancer prevention
· Avoid alcohol, tobacco and supari
· Eat a well-balanced, nutritious, healthy and timely diet e.g. Indian diet consisting of roti, vegetables, rice, dal, green leafy vegetables, fruits, curds or buttermilk and salads
· Restrict the consumption of red meat and processed meat
· Ensure you have adequate sleep for at least 7-8 hours. You should feel fresh in the morning.
· Reduce your stress. Adequate sleep, exercise, yoga and meditation are best relaxing techniques, not dancing late night in pubs and drinking alcohol or smoking
· Reduce weight if you are overweight or obese. Consult a doctor and qualified dietician
· Remain physically active. Exercise regularly e.g. a daily brisk walk for 30 minutes a day. However, before starting any exercise regime, consult your doctor
· Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight especially midday sun.
· Maintain good genital hygiene and practice safe sex
· Reduce exposure at the workplace to carcinogens by following occupational health and safety norms
· Go for a regular checkup including dental checkup for early detection and treatment of cancer especially you have a family history of any cancer. Talk to your doctor about it.
· Consult your doctor for vaccination for certain cancers (e.g. Hepatitis-B, HPV)
Adding to this Dr Datar from Ziqitza Rajasthan says it must be remembered there are no short cuts for prevention or treatment of cancer. Do not fall prey to false claims, unscientific remedies or magic cures or magic foods claimed to control or cure cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or reduce weight. Consult a qualified doctor if needed.
