Dünyayı Esir Alan Sigara ve Tütünün Radyasyonla Hikayesi

Year 2025, Volume: 47 Issue: 2, 1 - 4, 21.06.2025

Abstract

Hastalıklara ve ölümlere neden olduğu bilimsel olarak kanıtlanan sigaranın birçok toksik madde içeriği dışında radyasyon etkisi de bulunmaktadır. Biz de bu derlemede, özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde olmak üzere kadın, erkek, genç, yaşlı, çocuk herkesi etkileyen sigara salgınının önüne geçmek için gösterilen çabaların en etkinlerinden biri olabileceğini düşündüğümüz ve az sayıda kişi tarafından bilinen radyoaktif içeriğinden bahsetmeyi amaçladık.

The Story of Cigarettes and Tobacco that Captured the World with Radiation

Year 2025, Volume: 47 Issue: 2, 1 - 4, 21.06.2025

Abstract

Cigarettes, which are scientifically proven to cause diseases and deaths, have radiation effects in addition to many toxic substances. In this review, we aimed to talk about the radioactive content of cigarettes, which is known by a small number of people and which we think may be one of the most effective efforts to prevent the cigarette epidemic that affects everyone, men, women, young, old and children, especially in developing countries.
