Abstract

The present work aims to shed light on the relationship between the cause of cancer and low radioactivity distribution of Catha edulis (Khat) and tobacco grown in Yemen, whereas they have a remarkable relationship with human health, due chewing of Catha edulis and smoking tobacco simultaneously. The complicated behavior of smoking tobacco and chewing Catha edulis at the same time could be responsible for different kinds of cancer diseases. Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF) spectrometer was used to specify the chemical composition of Catha edulis and tobacco plants. In addition, radioactive detectors reveal the distribution of the radioactivity of Catha edulis and Tobacco plants is higher than the natural radioactivity distribution, because of the presence of the heavy minerals and different radioisotopes in Catha edulis and Tobacco plants. Keywords: Low Radioactivity, Catha Edulis, Tobacco, WDXRF, Oral and Lung Cancers.

Summary

Introduction

The organic and inorganic Tobacco's tar and Catha edulis chewing are which kill, and the expected radiation coming out of these plants is responsible for killing by different kinds of cancer diseases. Most of Yemeni people relax for Catha edulis chewing session. They at the same session smoke cigarette and Tobacco in a hookah (waterpipe) [5], [6]. The Catha edulis tree is popular with people looking for the drug-like effect, chewing their leaves generates intense thirst, produces excitement with deportation sleep, and enhances communication between people. It has a devastating effect on people’s health because it contains cathinone, and an amphetamine-like stimulant [7], [8], [9]. Catha edulis has classified as a mild drug and not dangerous addictive since 1980 [10]
