[WestNileNet] RE: Impact of Tobacco in developing nations to Women and children health
Dear WNF Promotion of Tobacco production in the third world countries is due to the poverty and structural adjustment of and the global financial crisis that has severely increased health cost for women and children. Poor women have less access to cessation methods and lack of health information while in the developing nations lack of education is another issue. In the industrialized countries research indicated that women, who has little education or are unemployed, separated or divorced are at high risk of Tobacco use. There are several reports on the negative impact including a report from the World Bank the use of Tobacco results in a net loss of United States billion dollars per year with half of these losses accruing in the developing countries. These are some of the direct and intangible cost that affects the economic development, including Tobacco’s negative impact on the environment. Multinational companies gain the most while the Tobacco farmers and women who work in Tobacco production receive only a small percentage of the profits. However it must be acknowledge that in the rural areas Tobacco production has a negative impact both to economy and food production, environment due to deforestation in short Tobacco has a negative impact on the health of economies as well as on people. Women and girls particularly among the poor are often need to be empowered and invisible in health statistics so that basic information concerning diseases epidemiology level health knowledge and health impact is often known. Gender bias in health research and services is apparent in the quality of healthcare. Health professionals are often inadequately trained to address the needs of women so that Tobacco use goes undetected and appropriate treatment for women are not available. In many Tobacco control programmes women’s concern are seen mainly as reproductive health issues. This reflects a male-biased tradition in which women are valued primarily in their role as reproducers, rather than throughout the life cycle. Furthermore some health service providers place undue emphasis on the rights of the unborn fetus, so that women‘s rights to choose can be compromised, violating a fundamental right to sexual and reproductive health. When women are held primarily responsible for reproductive health, they are sometimes blamed for their addiction to Tobacco and its negative impact on the child. Much less medical attention has been paid to the negative health effects of paternal smoking on fertility and the health of the fetus. Cessation programmes for fathers are seldom provided as part of reproductive health services. The majority of involuntary smokers are women and children. Yet national policies are often weak and do not sufficiently address the rights of the passive smokers in health services and programmes. Passive smoke needs to be placed higher on a list of priority to protect women and children’s rights to a safe and smoke free environment in home as well as in public places. Tobacco control programmes seldom recognized women as potential leaders in Tobacco control. However unless women are empowered they cannot fully participate in Tobacco control programmes. For example if they are not equal decision makers in the home, they are unable to influence partners to quit smoking.

As Jackson A has opined, lets not tear ourselves apart on matters which will not develop our place, or transform our people. For four hundred years, we people from West Nile where at the epicenter of slave trade, we were not organized like others in Kingdoms, or strong Chieftainship. the Arabs from Gondokoro, Sir Samuel Baker and others raided us, stole our elephants and rhinos. From 1917 when we became part of the British Protectorate, we were a labour reserve, from 1945, we were in KAR, from 1979, we were Anyanya. Now we are becoming people and you want to fight senseless and useless trivial wars, wake up. Lets not use this forum for trivial issues.

[WestNileNet] Ref: Dilema, Prevalence of african smoking both men and women not known
Dear Respected, Since some of us were born the health issue and the tobacco disaster has been looming in the some of the developing countries like the Uganda Zimbabwe formerly Rhodesia and several others. Tobacco was found the best cash crop that can easily generate and build up a good a economy, yet countries that were well knowledgeable about health issue were silent. It is very difficult to understand the meaning of African Union (AU). If you go to world health organization statistics for different diseases you may not find some of the records of such things, like Alzheimer's, schizophrenia, Sudden infants death Syndrome and several others. The growth of technology and modernization of culture today has brought about many changes in developing and developed countries. In the past centuries African women and young men were restricted from smoking by the elders but because of modernization of freedom it has become a big trouble for such restrictions. However from the developing countries with its freedom it has brought many and uncontrollable chronic diseases that were those years can not be seen in the developing countries. Chronic disease that were got from smoking tobacco and other substance of abuse were rear to get in most African countries except countries like Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa including Algeria to mention few. In most African countries in Africa it’s very difficult to get statistics or record of women smoking and drinking. Cigarette smoking was initiated and adopted by men in African countries from the developed countries. If a proper assessment done today It may be discovered that until today smoking cigarette is mostly found from those who are rich even substance abuse and alcohol abuse. Women who used to smoke and drink were an elderly woman who has stopped their menopause and are no more bearing children. As a result talking about epidemic of tobacco related diseases that are expanding people in African countries does not accept or agree. Tobacco use has become the major health issue for reproductive women in African continent. The health effects of smoking in a population only become fully pronounced about a half-century after the habit is adopted by a sizeable percentage of young adults. Thus in African countries what is known about the health risk among African women eg child deformation syndrome and several other defects. Despite the paucity of epidemiologic data on women in developing countries smoking will continue to spread so long as the western culture continuing to be adopted. The infants of mothers who smoke during pregnancy have a birth weight that is lower, on average, than infants born to nonsmoking women and they are more likely to be small for gestational age. Risks of stillbirth neonatal death and sudden infant death syndrome are also greater among the offspring of women who smoke. In addition, it appears that breastfeeding is less common or of shorter duration among women who smoke than among female nonsmokers and those smokers who breastfeed may produce less breast milk than nonsmokers. There are numerous effects of exposure to second-hand smoke on the health of children, particularly with respect to ear infections, lung function and asthma; these are reviewed elsewhere in this monograph in the chapter on environmental tobacco smoke. Older children and adolescents who are active smokers have increased risks of respiratory illness, cough, and phlegm production, slower rates of lung growth, reduced lung function and poorer lipid profiles than their nonsmoking counterparts. Effects of smoking on reproductive women and menstrual function compared with nonsmoking women, smokers are more likely to experience primary and secondary infertility and delays in conceiving. Women who use oral contraceptives are particularly at the elevated risk of coronary heart disease if they smoke, some research indicated use of oral contraceptives alone is associated with moderate increase in coronary heart disease risk and the risk is 20 to 40 fold greater among women who both used oral contraceptives and smoked heavily compared who do not smoke. It is with to pregnancy outcome women who smoke are at risk of premature membrane rupture and abruption placenta premature separation of the implanted placenta from the uterine wall, placenta previa partial or total obstruction by the cervical and preterm delivery. Further more the infants have lower average birth weight and are increased risk of prenatal mortality than are than are infants of nonsmoking women. The prevalence of smoking during pregnancy exceed 20- 30 percent in developed countries compared to African countries even though the numbers are increasing in the developing countries. Because of serious health consequences more motivating efforts and outreach educational programs should be implemented to pregnant women to ensure the health of newborns to help pregn
