Introduction People all over the world smoke. Most of them know that
smoking is harmful to their bodies, but do they know the damaging effects that smoke has on their cells?
In addition, what effects does secondhand smoke have on flora in the body? (Ecology)
Two experiments were performed to explore smoke toxicity.
Cellular Model – Yeast Smoke Products- Cigarettes (Garcia y Vega: English
Coronas)/Cigars (Marlboro: Filtered Cigarettes)

Cigarette/Cigar Smoke Cigarette/Cigar smoke has
harmful effects- releases toxins, irritants, etc.
Main pollutants are acetone, carbon monoxide, arsenic, benzene, butane, cyanide, nicotine, lead, formaldehyde, and many others

Background of Cigar vs. Cigarette Smoke
Past studies focus on adverse effects on human body. Cigars have shown to be more damaging than cigarettes.
Higher levels of carcinogensThese carcinogens can induce abnormal cell cycling
(cancer). Cigarettes appear to be more addictive. Cigarette smokers inhale more deeply, creating more
respiratory tree problems (lungs). Upon inhalation, nicotine can reach the brain 10 seconds.

Secondhand Smoke Smoke that is inhaled
involuntarily, or passively, by someone who is not smoking.
A child of a smoker is more likely to have asthma and other breathing problems because of secondhand smoke inhalation.

Yeast Eukaryotic, unicellular
fungi. Has been widely used in
genetics and cell biology, largely because the cell cycle in a yeast cell is very similar to the cell cycle in higher organisms (human).

Purpose
Do cigarettes or cigars affect the survival of microbial flora?
Can secondhand smoke persist on a surface and harm microbial flora?
Does increased exposure increase the damaging effects of smoke on microbial flora?

HypothesesNull Hypothesis :
Smoking product exposure will not reduce survivorship of yeast.
Alternate Hypothesis : The smoking products will reduce survivorship of yeast.

Procedure (1st Experiment)1. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was
grown overnight in sterile YEPD media.
2. A sample of the overnight culture was added to fresh YEPD media in a sterile sidearm flask.
3. The culture was placed in an incubator (30oC) until a density of 50 Klett spectrophotometer units was reached. This represents a cell density of 107 cells/mL.
4. The cell suspension was serially diluted to a density of approximately 103 cells/mL
5. The tubes were vortexed and then 0.1 mL aliquots were spread onto YEPD plates.
6. Sets of 8 plates were taped to the lid of a box, facing down toward the bottom of the box, and the lids removed .
7. A cigarette or cigar was lit and set it at the bottom of the box. For a time exposure of 1 and 3 minutes, the plates were exposed to the smoke rising from the cigarette lying at the bottom of the box.
8. After exposure, the plates were removed from the box and their lids were put back on.
9. The plates were incubated for 48 hours at 32C.
10. The resulting colonies were counted. Each colony assumed to have arisen from one cell.

Procedure (Infused Smoke)1. 16 YEPD agar plates were
selected. 2. 8 of them at a time were taped
to the lid of a box, facing down toward the bottom of the box.
3. The lids of the plates were removed, allowing the plates to be exposed to smoke.
4. A cigarette or cigar was lit and set on the bottom of the box.
5. For 10 minutes, the agar plates were exposed to the smoke rising from the cigarette lying at the bottom of the box.
6. When the 10 minutes were over, the plates were removed and covered.
7. 0.1mL aliquots from the 103 yeast cell suspension were spread onto the plates
8. The 16 plates were placed in a 32C incubator for 48 hours.
9. The resulting colonies were counted. Each colony assumed to have arisen from one cell.

ConclusionThe null hypothesis that the exposure and time of
exposure to cigar or cigarette smoke will not effect the growth of yeast was accepted for 60 seconds of exposure.
The null hypothesis was rejected for the exposure times of 180 seconds cigarette and cigar.
The null hypothesis was rejected for the cigar and cigarette smoke infused agar experiment.

Limitations and ExtensionsSmoke might not have
gone directly to the cellsTrials could have gone
over/under the time of exposure
Have a team of people synchronize the spread plating
More controlled smoke chamber for exposure
More variations of exposure times
