Just Keep Smoking . Do you want an early death ?

There was a time when smoking a cigarette was a kind of "chic" and fashionable thing to do in many social environment. For many years (and still today) there was a kind of social conditioning for smoking. It was like wearing a nice suit or a fashionable hat. Something everyone should "use" if they wanted to ever be included in the "winners" page at the end of the game. Unfortunately, the game is already over for many smokers who had the most common consequences of smoking, that is, to suffer an early death.

The active ingredient in a cigarette, and those in the development of severe addictive characteristics of tobacco products is the naturally occurring liquid alkaloid nicotine better known.

While there are thousands of chemicals in a single cigarette, including naturally occurring ones and also added by cigarette manufacturers, there is one, nicotine, that all the good feelings that people are moving back for a cigarette or plug of tobacco produced, over and again.



In the standard procedure of cigarette manufacturing, producers use tobacco where Nicotine normally makes about 5 percent of the plant by weight. Just packed cigarettes, contain 8 to 20 milligrams (mg) of nicotine (depending on the brand you prefer to smoke), but only about 1 mg is actually absorbed by the body when you smoke a cigarette.

But you do not need industrial amounts of nicotine in the body to addicted to cigarettes. This minimal amount of nicotine you with every cigarette you smoke the more than enough to make you beg for ever more and more resume.

Diffuses nicotine in your body through the following channels: skin, lungs and mucous membranes like the lining of the nose or gums. Therefore, you should immediately be addicted to nicotine, even if you just chew and spit tobacco.

The path followed starts nicotine directly into the body in the small blood vessels that line the tissue for the above channels. From there travel by nicotine to your bloodstream and then it arrives safely to the brain, and then the rest of the body supplied.

Even considering that Nicotine takes a lot of different actions of the smokers body (many of them very bad), what it does once it has reached the brain for both the good feelings you feel from smoking, as well as the irritability you to stop if you try, that is, the brain becomes addicted. Within 10 to 15 seconds to inhale the smoke of the cigarette, you're likely to be in the throes of nicotine effects.

Nicotine causes first a rapid release of adrenaline, the "fight or flight" hormone. The effects of this hormone are known: rapid heart rate, increased blood pressure and rapid, shallow breathing. All this state of high attention caused by adrenaline also tells your body, stored some of his empty glucose in your blood.

And if we consider that nicotine itself may also block the release of the hormone insulin. All this means that nicotine makes people in a hyperglycemic state, with more sugar than usual torrent in their blood. So become a kind of part-time diabetic with each cigarette smoked, and brings the long-term consequences of this condition.

That's not all, for increase in the long run, as you keep smoking and absorbing nicotine everyday, this can be the level of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) in blood that cause great damage as a result of the arteries. And that makes it more likely that, over time, and this is not a very long time, you might have a heart attack or stroke.

The health problems associated with using nicotine-containing products are far worse than any benefits you may feel at the beginning. Lung cancer, heart disease, stroke and emphysema, the average person will be in high.

It should be noted that many of these diseases are actually caused by other chemicals in cigarette smoke or in smokeless tobacco products other than nicotine. The biggest problem with nicotine is how easy it makes you become dependent on smoking or chewing tobacco. Which also brings to the conclusion that nicotine cigarettes are not healthier, maybe less addictive but equally dangerous.

The position of the medical and scientific communities worldwide, that nicotine is definitely addictive. Nicotine meets both the psychological and physiological characteristics, we call it an addiction.

When trying to quit smoking you will surely have these symptoms due to the lack of nicotine in the bloodstream. Irritability, anxiety, depression, craving for nicotine. And so, no one denies quitting smoking can be a real nightmare for many people.

For many smokers, even unbearable, a day without nicotine. Statistics show that every year millions of people to wean from smoking, but only 10 percent of them succeed try break. Will you succeed?
