=> Asid ini terdapat pada buah pokok senduduk
 
Piridoksina
=> Lebih dikenali sebagai Vitamin B6
=> Terlibat secara meluas dalam fungsi asas otak, iaitu memulih dan menjanakan semula keperluan otak, penghasilan antibiotik, membantu dalam pembebasan tenaga daripada protein-protein yang dihasilkan => Kekurangan vitamin ini biasanya boleh menyebabkan sakit kepala
 
Mangan
=> Sebagai mineral asas dalam badan
=> Terlibat dalam fungsi anti-oksidaan yang boleh membantu dalam proses pengekalan fungsi asas dalam metabolisme otak dan badan supaya badan perokok lebih cergas dari segi pemikiran dan sebagainya
=> Juga berfungsi untuk melancarkan oksigen dalam darah di otak dan secara tidak langsung pemikiran perokok akan lebih tenang dan teratur

MISAI KUCING (Othosiphon Stamineus)

Umum:
=> Herba misai kucing banyak digunakan untuk memperbaiki sistem saluran kencing dan buah pinggang manusia serta dapat membantu dalam mengelakkan penyakit batu karang. Ini kerana penyakit-penyakit ini sangat berkait rapat dengan masalah sampingan perokok
=> Daun pokok misai kucing yang sudah dikeringkan adalah bersifat iuretik dan boleh membantu dalam menyingkirkan  asid urik yang berlebihan dalam badan. Asid urik adalah bahan toksik sampingan yang dihasilkan oleh perokok

Tanin
=> Sejenis enzim aromatik yang menyebabkan daun misai kucing berasa pahit. Ini disebabkan oleh bahan aktif dalam komponen tersebut iaitu ‘astringen’ yang memberikan ciri rasa pahit pada pokok herba tersebut
=> Dapat menghalang penyerapan gula yang boleh bertindak sebagai agen diuretik. Ini dapat mencegah perokok daripada mudah dihidapi penyakit lain terutamanya kencing manis.
=> Mempunyai sifat anti-oksidaan (asid elagik dalam tumbuhan herba tersebut), mempunyai ciri asas anti-biotik dan juga boleh menyembuhkan luka.
=> Kandungan gula dalam darah perokok boleh dikurangkan dan secara tidak langsung bekalan oksigen akan mengalir dengan lebih lancar dan pengaliran darah juga akan menjadi lebih lancar terutamanya ke otak.

1. Ischemic (caused by a blockage in an artery )

2. Hemorrhagic (caused by a tear in the wall of the artery that produces bleeding in the brain )

A disruption in blood flow to the brain is the primary cause of a stroke. It can be disastrous and cause brain damage or even death. Our brain receives about 25% of the body’s oxygen but it cannot store it. Brain cells require a constant supply of oxygen to stay healthy and function properly. Therefore, within minutes of a stroke, oxygen is cut off in the brain leading to death of brain cells . This also leads to some parts of the brain losing control over the activity of some parts of the body, resulting in temporary or permanent disability or paralysis.

The following complications could arise and may need continued medical cares :

Urinary incontinence and urinary infection

Cramp

Falls, usually to the affected side

Reduced blood supply to the brain may result in confusion and speech disturbances.

What are the symptoms of a stroke ?

People at risk or partners of people at risk for stroke should be aware of the general symptoms and the victim should get to the hospital as soon as possible after these warning signs appear. Some include the following:

Headache in the back of the head

Dizziness

Nausea and vomiting

Inability to speak clearly

Weakness in the arms and legs

Tingling or numbness in the mouth, cheeks or gums

What are the risk factors for a stroke ?

SMOKING - people who smoke have higher risk to get stroke than nonsmokers

HEART DISEASE - heart disease and stroke are closely related for many reasons. They often have common risk factors.

STRESS - mental and emotional factors (stress and depression) have also been linked as a higher risk for having stroke.

AGE - people most at risk for stroke are older adults particularly those with high blood pressure, overweight, smoke or have diabetes.

SLEEP APNEA - which may contribute to the narrowing of the carotid artery, appears to increase the risk for stroke.

ATHEROSCLEROSIS - hardening of the arteries.

Recommended Nutritional Supplement

1. Reishi Ganoderma

2. Ganocelium

Cancer
Cigarette smoke contains more than 50 cancer-causing substances.
Smoking is the most common, preventable cause of lung cancer. Smokers are 22 times more likely to develop lung cancer. 90% of all lung cancer cases in Singaporean males occur among smokers.

The longer one smokes, the greater the risk of developing cancers such as cervical and breast cancer, cancer of the mouth, throat, larynx, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, kidney and bladder.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) / Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (COLD)
Smoking narrows the airways and destroys the air sacs in the lungs. This makes breathing difficult. Smoking is the most common cause of COPD/COLD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD/COLD is the 6th largest cause of death in Singapore.

Bone Loss and Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a disease that causes bones to lose density and become brittle, leading to hip, spine and wrist fractures.

Women who smoke are 50% more likely to suffer from osteoporosis than non-smokers.

Re-productive and Sexual Health
Smoking increases the risk of infertility in both men and women.

Men

Smokers are 50% more likely to suffer from impotence or erectile dysfunction.
Smoking reduces the volume of ejaculation, lowers sperm count, distorts sperm shape and impairs sperm mobility.

Women

Women who smoke may experience early menopause and more menopausal symptoms.
Smoking may lead to decreased egg counts due to destruction of eggs in the ovaries before the eggs reach maturity.
Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm delivery, and low birth weight. The smoke inhaled (either directly from a cigarette or from second-hand smoke) by a pregnant woman goes directly to her baby’s lungs. It prevents as much as 25 % of oxygen from reaching the placenta.

Second-hand Smoke
About 90% of the smoke from every cigarette ends up in the air as environmental tobacco smoke (ETS).

ETS

Causes lung cancer in people who have never smoked before. 
Causes heart attack, especially among the spouses of smokers.
ETS also increases the risk of repeated heart attacks if one has suffered from heart attack before.
Increases the risk of heart disease, lung disease, asthma, allergies, sinus problems, blood vessel disease or worsen the symptoms if one is already suffering from these.

The main components of tobacco smoke are:
 
TAR
Tar is a black and sticky residue used to cover road surfaces. It clogs up the lungs and causes lung cancer. It contains many cancer-causing substances such as:

Benzo(a)pyrene:
found in emissions from burned plant and petroleum products

B-napthylamine:
used in the manufacture of dyes, condensation colours and rubber

Cadmium:
a poisonous chemical that can cause liver, kidney and brain damage, commonly found in car batteries

Nitrosamine:
found in harsh detergents; commonly used as an engine degreaser

NICOTINE
Nicotine is a powerful and addictive drug. It acts as a stimulant, causing your heart rate and blood pressure to soar. It increases the stickiness of blood and decrease the diameter of blood vessels, increasing the risk of stroke and heart attacks.

CARBON MONOXIDE
This is the same gas found in car exhaust smoke. Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your heart work harder. This can cause heart attacks or stroke. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs. This is why smokers suffer from shortness of breath and lack of stamina.

Other harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke

Acetone:
used in nail polish remover and paint stripper

Ammonia:
used in the dry cleaning industry

Arsenic:
a deadly poison used in pest control and insecticides

Benzene:
a cancer-causing agent used in the production of fuel and chemicals

DDT:
a pesticide used to kill insects

Formaldehyde:
a known cancer-causing substance used to preserve dead bodies

Hydrogen Cyanide:
a poison used in gas chambers

Napthalene:
a killer ingredient found in mothballs

Polonium-210:
a radioactive substance

Vinyl Chloride:
a chemical used to make plastic
