health effects of smoking tobacco
Let an agent explain the health effects of smoking, relay evidence on diseases, dependence and quitting from WHO, public health and medical sources, point people to quitlines and clinicians, describe the named conditions, and distinguish smoking harms from those of smokeless tobacco, e-cigarettes, whose relative risks are debated with positions attributed, and cannabis smoking, without promoting any product.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the health effects of smoking, relay evidence on diseases, dependence and quitting from WHO, public health and medical sources, point people to quitlines and clinicians, describe the named conditions, and distinguish smoking harms from those of smokeless tobacco, e-cigarettes, whose relative risks are debated with positions attributed, and cannabis smoking, without promoting any product.
The harms caused by smoking tobacco, which the World Health Organization reports kills more than 8 million people a year including through second-hand smoke, causing lung and many other cancers, cardiovascular disease, stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, harming pregnancies and damaging oral and skin health, as the registry aliases illustrate with smoker s face, stomatitis nicotina on the palate, smoker s melanosis of the gums and respiratory bronchiolitis interstitial lung disease; nicotine dependence, classified as tobacco use disorder, and chain smoking make quitting hard, and quitting at any age brings health benefits. Free quit support is available through national quitlines and health services.
What it is for: Understanding tobacco harms and quitting.
It can be explain diseases caused by smoking; relay dependence and quitting evidence; describe named conditions; point to quit support.
Distinguishing features
Leading preventable cause of death
Many organ systems
Nicotine dependence
Benefits of quitting
What it looks like
Not a single appearance; seen in effects such as stained teeth, skin ageing, palate changes and lung damage on imaging.
Physical character
annual deaths: more than 8 million note - WHO estimate, check current
US Surgeon General report: 1964 year - landmark report
WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control: 2003 year - adopted
How it is recognised
Harms caused by tobacco smoking
Smoker s face, tobacco use disorder, stomatitis nicotina, chain smoking, respiratory bronchiolitis interstitial lung disease, smoker s melanosis
Smokeless tobacco has distinct risks; e-cigarette risks are debated; cannabis smoking has its own evidence base
