The most detrimental cigarettes are BidisIn a study was shown that more than 100 million people in India smoke unfiltered hand-rolled cigarettes, reducing their life span by about two decades. Researchers found that more Indians die from smoking "bidis" than from all other forms of tobacco combined. Annually in India is sold 800 billion bidis. A bidi (also spelled beedi or biri) is a thin, often flavored, South Asian cigarette made of tobacco wrapped in a tendu leaf, and secured with colored thread at one end. Bidis, though smaller than regular cigarettes, produce three times more carbon monoxide and nicotine, and five times more tar. Indians smoke eight times as many bidis as cigarettes. Even bidi smoke delivers many toxic chemicals at higher levels than those from western-style cigarettes on line. Bidi smoke raises the risk of oral cancer, cancer of the lung, stomach and esophagus, heart disease, chronic lung disease, asthma and tuberculosis because it is packed with proven carcinogens, poison, toxic chemicals and nicotine. P.C. Gupta, the director of Healis-Sekhsaria Institute of Public Health, reported that in India tobacco use is the cause of people death, and most of these people are bidi smokers. "At the current death rates, about a quarter of bidi smokers in would be killed by tobacco between the ages of 25 and 69, losing about 20 years of life expectancy," Gupta added. The most affected are the poor in a country with over a billion people and also many people were not aware of the harmful effects of bidis and have lower literacy rates. The study noted that bidis were the least taxed tobacco products in India, and urged the government to improve awareness of the dangers of smoking. India's health ministry, which in 2003 passed a law banning smoking in public places and mass media advertising of tobacco products, said that now 40% of the country's health problems are due to tobacco. |
