Amy Winehouse Diagnosed with Emphysema

The singer Amy Winehouse has been found to have early stage emphysema and she has lung damage from smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes. She has an irregular heartbeat and has been warned that if she keeps smoking drugs she will have to wear an oxygen mask and her voice will be ruined. The severity of her drug use could possibly kill her if she doesn’t stop. There has reported to be nodules around her chest area and dark marks. She also only has 70 percent lung capacity.

Winehouse collapsed at her home in north London last week on Monday after signing autographs for a group of fans. She was taken to a hospital in London for testing and stayed there all week long.

Restaurant Smoking Bans Decrease Teen Smoking

A recent study shows that restaurant smoking bans help to persuade teenagers not to become smokers. Teens who lived in towns with strict bans were 40 percent less likely to become regular smokers than teens that lived in communities without bans or that had weak bans. Smoking bans discourage tobacco use and sends out the message that smoking is not healthy. The ban also reduces the amount of smoke that teens are exposed to in public places.

Having a parent or close friend that smokes can be an influence as to whether or not a teenager experiments with cigarettes but strong bans in public places play a bigger role in whether a not the teen will develop a smoking habit. The study also found that the bans had a greater effect on younger teens than older teens.

It is reported that women whose migraine headaches produce visual symptoms, called auras, are almost seven times more likely to have a stroke compared to women without a history of migraines. Eight percent of stoke cases had onset of migraines with auras. Women who smoke and use oral contraceptives have seven times the risk of stroke than women who just had the migraines and aura.

The most common stoke associated with migraines is ischemic stroke. A person has ischemic stoke when a blood clot blocks the flow of blood to the brain.

A woman with migraines can lower her risk of stroke by not smoking and finding alternatives to the use of estrogen-containing contraceptives.
