LUNGS' CANCER

Lung cancer is a serious medical and social problem. It is the most common malignant tumor and the most common cause of death from cancer.

In 2008, the world registered 1,608,055 new cases of lung cancer, while mortality rates are close to the incidence rates and amount to 1,376,579 deaths from lung cancer. This is 13% of all patients with malignant neoplasms and 18% of deaths from them [1].

Moreover, it is the developed countries of the world that account for 58% of cases. According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO) [2], cancers are most often recorded in high-income countries (where the level of smoking, industrial production and the use of chemical additives in food is higher). The burden of cancer is much lower in low-income countries, but lung cancer is the most common diagnosis and cause of cancer deaths in rich and poor countries alike.

In the CIS countries, cancer is maximum (21-26%) in men in Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Armenia (1st place in the structure of cancer incidence).

In terms of lung cancer diseases, Russia is in 9th place (4.4%), despite the fact that this pathology also ranks first among oncological diseases [3]. The death toll from lung cancer can be compared with the cumulative death toll from colon, pancreatic and prostate cancers [4].

REASONS OF OCCURRENCE:

[5]. The longer a person smokes and the more packs of cigarettes a day, the higher the risk. If a person stops smoking before the onset of lung cancer, then the lung tissue gradually returns to normal. Stopping smoking at any age lowers the risk of developing lung cancer.

Non-smokers who inhale tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke) also have an increased risk of lung cancer. If one of the spouses smokes, then the risk of lung cancer in the second nonsmoker is increased by 30% compared to the nonsmoking couple.

In addition, the occurrence and development of disease genetics and the level of air pollution. Therefore, the incidence is high for workers in the aluminum industry; mining, gasification and coking of coal; foundry industry; production of isopropyl alcohol, chloromethyl ethers, vinyl chloride, rubber; mining of hematite, asbestos, nickel; radon concentration, arsenic, diesel exhaust, some types of lung diseases that scar the lungs (inflammation, tuberculosis), etc. etc. - also increase the likelihood of lung cancer [6].

GENETICS

Despite the fact that Hungary is a relatively ecologically clean country with (previously developed) its own agriculture, according to WHO estimates, the country ranks first in Europe in terms of the number of people who died from cancer. For every 100 thousand inhabitants of Hungary, there are 458 deaths from this disease [7].

In addition, the suicide rate is extremely high among the Hungarians. Research Center for Psychiatry. Serbianconfirmed the existence of ethnic groups with an increased risk of suicidal behavior. But we are talking here, rather, not about ethno-cultural characteristics, but about genetic inheritance. So the group of d.b.s. sciences Elza Khusnutdinovafrom the Ufa Institute of Biochemistry and Genetics (Bashkiria) proved that the peoples of the Finno-Ugric group (Hungarians, Estonians, Finns, Mari, Komi, Udmurts, Bashkirs) have an increased tendency to suicide, which is associated with metabolic processes [8] (one of the assumptions - violation of genetics, resulting from living over one of the faults in the earth's crust).

In addition to genetics, the apparent (purposeful) genocide of the indigenous population by the ruling regimes also affects the depressive state of society. This can explain the fact that Russia and Ukraine occupy the second place in the number of people who died of cancer. In these countries, there are 347 deaths for every 100 thousand people [4].

However, at the same time, the economic decline sometimes gives a "side positive" -

INCIDENCE RATE AND DECLINE IN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AS A CAUSE OF REDUCING MORTALITY

From 1980 to 1990, there was a significant (40%) increase in the incidence of lung cancer. Then, until 1994, mortality rates from lung cancer in both sexes remained at approximately the same level in Russia (75-76 per 100,000 for men and 8 per 100,000 for women).

In 1999, mortality among men decreased to 61.5 (per 100,000), in 2009 to 50.4. Among women, the indicator was low and remained stable: 6, 0 - in 1999, and 5, 8 in 2009, respectively [9].

This can be explained not so much by “an improvement in the quality of medical care” as by a drop in production, including harmful ones, which were mainly employed by men. First of all, because the incidence is influenced not only by the social environment and natural conditions, but also by the specifics of production (mining, foundry, chemical, etc. production).

A very significant spread of the disease in different areas can serve as proof of this. Thus, the incidence rates are very different by region: the highest incidence rate in men is in Sakhalin, in the Altai Territory, Omsk, Chelyabinsk and Kurgan regions (83, 7-87, 9 cases per 100,000); for women - in Yakutia, Khabarovsk Territory, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (18, 3-24, 1); the minimum values are in the Vologda, Kaluga, Yaroslavl and Smolensk regions (3, 4-4, 4).

In general, in the current structure of mortality, this form of tumor is in 1st place in men (30.8%) and in 4th in women (6.6%). In men, lung cancer takes 1st place in the age group 40–84 years old (and 2nd place in the age group over 85 years old - after prostate cancer, 11.4%). In women, lung cancer ranked 4th in the age group 85 years and older (5.6%). The average age of newly diagnosed lung cancer patients is 65 years for men and 68 years for women.

Of the 45 countries in the world, the death rate from lung cancer (according to 2002 data [10]) is as follows:

SMOKING AS THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE DISEASE

The Professional Society of Chemotherapy Oncologists (Issue 5, 2012) confirms the link between smoking and lung cancer (EGFR mutation frequency). In addition, research on pathogenic mutations identifies a number of factors that influence the development of cancer, including: smoking, patient's condition, methods of treatment, and ethnicity [11].

Therefore, although the Russians are carriers of the "best genes" - "" [12] - the spread of tobacco (moreover, of an increasingly dubious quality) is becoming a form of genocide. In Russia, almost 40% of the country's population (43.9 million) smokes, of which 60.2% are men and 21.7% are women.

Tobacco products are consumed by about 50% in the most economically and demographically active group - from 19 to 44 years old (7 out of 10 men; 4 out of 10 women). Almost 35% of Russians are passive smokers at work. 90.5% of bar diners and almost 80% of restaurant guests were also exposed to secondhand smoke.

The study shows that over 60% of Russian smokers would like to quit smoking, but about 90% of attempts to do this are unsuccessful.

The average monthly expenses of Russians on cigarettes is 567.6 rubles. In 2009, the cost of purchasing cigarettes by the population of the Russian Federation amounted to almost 1% of GDP.

CARCINOGENIC PROPERTIES OF TOBACCO

- are the most important factor causing the development of lung cancer, however, the main problems are not in nicotine, but in the tobacco tar resulting from the burning of tobacco. Its carcinogenic properties are similar to coal tar - according to the conclusions of an outstanding Russian doctor Fedora G. Uglova[13].

Experiments on laboratory animals have shown that upon contact with the skin, the tumor developed in 100% of cases. 1 kg of tobacco contains 70 ml of tobacco tar. Smoking 1 kg of tobacco per month, a person passes 840 ml through the respiratory tract per year, and at 10 years - more than 8 liters of tobacco tar, has a huge effect on the epithelium of the bronchi, contributing to its cancerous transformation.

Experiments have proven the role of tobacco tar in the development of cancer. The smoke was collected and tar precipitated, which was then dissolved in acetone. The skin of laboratory mice was lubricated with this solution 3 times a week. As a result, they developed papilloma in 59% of cases (on average after 71 days). In 8.6% of cases, papillomas regressed, but in 44.4% of them, skin cancer developed. Control mice were lubricated with acetone alone. They showed no reaction on the skin, not even a trace of irritation.

Smoke (and tar) particles remain on the walls of the alveoli. Some of them make their way to the pharynx to be spat out or swallowed. Brown spots appear in the sputum of a smoker when it is released. Another part of the tobacco tar covers the mucous layer of the bronchial tree. The closer to the large bronchi they collect, the greater the concentration of tobacco tar. Thus, the mucous membrane of medium and large bronchi is exposed to the more concentrated contents of tobacco tar. This should explain why the medium and large bronchi are most often the site of primary lung cancer.

Statistical studies have established a causal relationship between an increase in the incidence of lung cancer and an increase in cigarette consumption. So the annual production of cigarettes in the United States increased proportionally from 46.3 in 1907 to 2.546 in 1948 (i.e. 55 times in 41 years). According to statistics from the Society of US Oncologists, in 1961, among smokers, the number of deaths from lung cancer increased in strict proportion to the number of cigarettes smoked daily.

During the study, 40,000 doctors were interviewed, which identified 24,000 male patients over 35 years old. After 29 months, 36 people died from lung cancer. Over the next 54 months (until March 1956) 84 people died from cancer, while the number of deaths among smokers (25 cigarettes per day or more) was almost 20 times higher than among nonsmokers. And the number of deaths from lung cancer grew strictly parallel to the number of cigarettes smoked daily.

The incidence of lung cancer among non-smokers is 7: 100,000. Among women who smoke, this coefficient is 38, among men who smoke - 125 (the difference is explained by the different number of cigarettes per day). At the same time, among those who smoke from 1 to 14 cigarettes per day, it is 47, from 15 to 24 cigarettes - 86, and among those who smoke more than 25 cigarettes - 166.

These data provide compelling evidence that lung cancer develops significantly more often among many smokers than among few smokers. On average, it takes about 20 years for lung cancer to appear. The mortality rate from lung cancer per 100,000 population is expressed by the following figures: non-smokers - 3, 4, smokers less than half a pack of cigarettes per day - 51, 4, from half a pack to a pack - 144, more than 40 cigarettes - 217.

All studies show with great conviction that:

DISTRIBUTION OF TOBACCO SMOKING

The acquaintance of Europeans with tobacco happened after the famous expeditions Christopher Columbus to the shores of the "West Indies" in 1492.

Columbus mainly helped in the equipment of the expedition Martin Alonso Pinson [14]. One of the ships, the Pinta, was his own, and he equipped it at his own expense; he gave money for the second ship to Christopher so that he could make his formal contribution under the agreement. For the third ship, money was given by local Marranos (baptized Jews) against their payments to the budget.

The fact is that at the Spanish court three Marranos were in control of the money: Luis de Santagell, lessee of royal taxes, royal treasurer Gabriel Sanchez and the royal chamberlain Juan Cabrero … It was under the influence of their stories about the plight of the treasury and the incredible wealth of India, the queen Isabel offered to give her jewelry as a mortgage to receive funds for the equipment of the expedition. Santagell, the royal tax leaseholder, quickly "found" the money.

The interest of the Jews was not accidental: Columbus went out to sea on August 3, 1492 - the day after more than 300,000 Jews, for refusing to accept Christianity, were expelled from Spain. At the same time, at least five Jews set off along with Columbus: translator Luis de Torres, paramedic Marco, doctor Bernal, Alonzo de la Calle and.

Luis de Santagel and Gabriel Sanchez received great advantages for their participation in the case; Columbus himself was initially imprisoned, becoming a victim of the machinations of the ship's doctor Bernal.

When Columbus discovered Cuba on November 6, 1492, Luis de Torres was part of the team that went ashore and wrote in the ship's log that "". Meanwhile, the use of tobacco had a purely ritual significance, but Torres decided to "do business" and took tobacco leaves to Spain, becoming "" [15].

It is characteristic that when the "first smoker of Europe" - Rodrigo de Jerez - demonstrated his "skill", the Holy Inquisition prescribed him a solitary confinement cell for 4 years with fervent prayer and fasting. The church prohibition for Christians gave special enthusiasm to the Jews, who began to actively (monopolistically) spread the ritual potion with themselves, seducing the Spaniards, French, British, Germans and Dutch by the beginning of the 16th century by "drinking smoke".

It is clear that the rabbis, who received their dividends from the kagala tobacco trade, took up their usual business - starting to discuss not moral issues, but "regulate the process." First of all, by forbidding his flock to smoke on "holy days" and demanding to receive a special blessing for smoking on other days - like a rabbi Chaim Benveniste (1603-1673) in Keneset ha-Gedolah. A Abraham Gombiner (1635 - 1683), forbidding smoking during prayers, argued that it is not possible to consecrate smoke because of its scattering and non-material properties [16].

TOBACCO MONOPOLY OF JEWS

Soon, Jewish settlers in the New World were involved in the cultivation, manufacture of tobacco products and in trade in the main market - Europe.

By the 19th century, the German lands of Baden, Prussia and Rineland soon became the centers of European tobacco trade. The main tobacco industries in Europe are concentrated here. For example, in the city of Manheim, 40% of the tobacco trade was owned by 4% of the inhabitants, naturally Jews.

During the empire Habsburgs by the end of the 18th century, 90% of the tobacco trade was owned by Jews. 1743 to 1748 Sephard Diego d'Aguilar held a monopoly on the tobacco trade in Austria. In 1778 Sephard Israel Hoenig and did establish the Austrian State Tobacco Monopoly.

TOBACCO GESHEFT IN RUSSIA

In Russia, in the town of Nizhyn, Chernigov district, in the 17th century there was the largest tobacco production, where Jews settled since 1648, making gesheft on vices: usury, trade in alcohol and tobacco. In 1867, 45,204 people lived in Nizhyn, half of whom were Jews. This "domination of vices" led to inevitable pogroms: as a result, half of the buildings in the city were partially destroyed and burned. As a result, the Jews reduced their dominance, but not much - from half, to 1/3. So in 1897, out of 32,108 inhabitants, 10,859 remained Jews. At the same time, local tobacco factories produced hand-made Russian cigars and pipe tobaccos. Started the tobacco trade here Zino Davidov.

The second center of tobacco gesheft in the middle of the 19th century in Russia was Chisinau, the capital of Bessarabia, where most of the cigar and cigarette factories also belonged to the Jews. In 1904, 147,962 people lived in Chisinau, of which about 50,000 were Jews, who monopolistically owned the largest banks, controlled the tobacco business, grain exports and trade operations with Odessa and Austria. The kagal gave the tobacco gesheft to 115 families, of which 63 controlled the purchase and cultivation of tobacco, 35 families owned tobacco shops, warehouses and factories, the remaining 17 clans were hired by workers. 598 people worked in cigar factories, on average 20-30 workers, in large ones - more than 60.

The main supplier of raw materials was the town of Dubossary, 40 km from Chisinau. Here in 1897, out of 13,276 people, more than 5,000 were Jews, 95% of whom were engaged in the "tobacco business".

PAINFUL MONOPOLY OF VICTIM

Since the 17th century, Ashkenazi Jews (Khazars) began to move to Cuba, joining the Sephardi tobacco gesheft. At the beginning of the 18th century, Asher & Solomon, a company specializing in snuff, became famous in Novy Svet. At the end of the 19th century, the Keeney Brothers produced the best-selling Sweet Caporal cigarillos in the United States, employing more than 2,000 Jews. Their interests were defended by the first trade union of cigar producers in the United States organized in 1867 by a Jew Samuel Gompers.

Meanwhile, the Jews themselves were drawn into tobacco smoking, and inveterate smokers on the "holy days" went to hookah bars and smoked cigars, since the rabbis said nothing about them in the "laws of the Talmud".

At the same time, the production of cigarettes and cigarettes became predominantly a "business of Jews" who owned patents for equipment for the production of cigarettes and cigarettes.

At the end of the 19th century, caricature images of smoking Jews began to appear in European and Russian periodicals, and the term of the French neurologist appeared in medical reports Jean Martin Charcot - "intermittent claudication". After a number of similar studies (for example, a Warsaw neurologist Henrik (Haim) Heeger / Henryk (Chaim) Higier in 1901), European newspapers begin to circulate the image of the average Jew - a lame, hunched man with a dark complexion and thin teeth, smoking a cigar or cigarette. By that time in Russia, for example, the Jews preferred to sniff tobacco and smoke cigarettes, less often cigars.

In 1846, 2 years after the declaration of independence of the Dominican Republic, addressed to the President Pedro Santana a letter came from the Dominican tobacco growers from the Cibao Valley. It stated that Sephardic tobacco merchants were buying up the entire tobacco crop at unreasonably high prices from local farmers and asked for protection from the arbitrariness of conspired Jewish merchants. Then a presidential decree was issued prohibiting foreigners from buying tobacco. However, after 7 years, Sephardi Jews took high positions in the Government and Congress of the Dominican Republic and were appointed ambassadors to other countries.

In the period from the middle. XIX - early XX centuries this industry in the world has become almost mono-national. A huge number of tobacco factories were concentrated in Poland. For example, the Jewish company Leopold Kronenberg produced 25% of all cigars and pipe tobacco consumed by European countries in 1867.

JEWISH TOBACCO CAPITALISM

After the First World War, all European cigarettes were called "Jewish", since the owners of most of these industries were Jews. But already at the beginning of the 30s. In the twentieth century, they began to officially transfer their shares in the tobacco business to other formal owners (the beginning of the formation of "offshore companies"), retaining the posts of members of the board of directors of industries and retailers. This was largely due to the beginning of the national struggle in Germany.

In 1941 Johan Van Leers, editor of the magazine Nordische Welt, at the opening of the Wissenschaftliches Institut zur Erforschung der Tabakgefahren (Scientific Institute for the Study of the Dangers of Tobacco) congress stated that “Jewish tobacco capitalism” is responsible for the spread of tobacco in Europe. He emphasized that the first tobacco traders in Germany were Jews. Mass arrests and the nationalization of their business began.

By the beginning of 1940, 3, 9 million Jews left Europe. 72% emigrated to the United States, 10% to Palestine and 18% to Latin America. Through their efforts, the United States is becoming "the most cigar country in the world." Some of the names of "individual entrepreneurs" have survived:

The rest of the companies, publicly listed as Jews, turned into corporations, with hidden owners behind offshore companies and investment funds parasitizing on vices.

What they add to cigarettes today - apart from algae and chemistry - is difficult to say unequivocally, but the effect is clearly visible - a sharp jump in cancer since the early 1950s and, in fact, a cancer epidemic since the 1980s.

However, -

THERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE

Until 1959, at least 20,000 Jews lived in Cuba. After the government came to power Fidel 90% of local Jews left Cuba. And although three synagogues have survived in Havana, today there is not a single rabbi in Cuba, but the concept of anti-Semitism is completely absent, and Cuban "Jews" are not associated with tobacco and cigars - working as hairdressers, watchmakers, waiters and artisans [17] …
