Cigarettes: The Real Facts

This review is about such a popular and legal drug as cigarettes. The issue promises to be the most objective, however, this is a huge topic, and perhaps many of the points will be missed.

And what in cigarettes?

There were some interesting characters, traditions are well illustrated in the chic movie "Dances with Wolves" - the Indians. That never disdain smoke that whatsoever, including tobacco. Tobacco was safely brought to Europe from the United States.

From that moment, in fact, the world has learned that such tobacco. Production and overproduction, export / import, the desire to save, globalization has played a role played until now. Do not think that only tobacco, but all smokers ala Indians smoke cigarettes in nature. Now manufacturers of cigarettes, like any normal person, interested in the difference between revenues and expenditures. How to reduce the cost production? You need to add these substances to keep our cigarettes smoke faster, easier to transport, etc. Please pay attention to Cerluten.

Thus, the cigarettes contained: Ammonia, arsenic, carbon monoxide, cyanide, and other substances. A total of 51 of the 4000 substance are carcinogenic, and we recall that a carcinogen called that causes cancer. Well smoke cyanide and not very nice, and at the level of the body, too. The girls, by the way, is much more harmful than smoking if she plans to give birth. The cigarettes may damage the egg from which child will develop, which eventually will cause anomalies 100%.

Cons of cigarettes:

The longer a person smokes, the closer to the 50% probability of approaching death from cigarettes. A huge study, begun in 1951 and completed only in 1991! Deferred suicide. Yes, you can philosophically say that once a person was born, life itself has become a long-term suicide, but there are things that slow down the process, and have that speed. Sleep in a dream)

Passive smoking also hurts! There is a statistical relationship, that those who are exposed to secondhand smoke more likely to die from cancer due to circulatory diseases compared to those who did not breathe smoke-filled air. Passive smokers also are more frequent miscarriages.

Another very interesting study, for a period of 10 years, showed a marked improvement in the fight against cardiovascular disease. The bottom line: in 1993, experimentally, in Toronto, in Canada began to gradually ban smoking in public places and absolutely banned in 1996. In parallel, in Ontario, Canada is the same, everything was allowed. In 2006, we compared the statistics of calls to the hospital because of problems with the cardiovascular system, and in Toronto, it was below 35%. It is clear that this is not the environment suddenly improved.

Addiction. So simple and not get down! Tobacco is highly addictive in 32% of cases. And talk about that, "I can quit at any time" came to nothing lead, at least 1/3 of the time, you can try) For this indicator, even alcohol and marihuana is safer.

The dependence is due to nicotine and its action on the brain. People sometimes confuse nicotine and nicotinic acid. In general, the nicotine - is the main component of cigarettes stimulating, concurrently, that is addictive. Niacin - a useful Vitamin which the body is formed from tryptophan, an amino acid present in the food. Because tryptophan is created also serotonin and melatonin, an important neurotransmitter good mood and biorhythms regulators.

Cigarettes make a person less happy in the long run through the destruction of serotonin receptors in the brain. Serotonin - is the well-known neurotransmitter, its relatively high level of influence a pleasant chat with the people, the sun, physical and intellectual activity. The cigarettes do not reduce the production of this neurotransmitter, but destroy the protein structure interacts with the mediator. This is not good, as you can imagine. It's like talking to a serious topic with regularly drink too much man.

Pros of Cigarettes:

+ Effect on dopamine. Here dopamine that during smoking begins to be produced in the brain in a larger scale. At issue was removed dopamine. Briefly: it is responsible for the care, joy, motivation, determination, but also for schizophrenia) Cigarettes, through nicotine makes a person for smoking during and after a bit more sensitive and satisfied.

+ Cigarettes temporarily make a man a little smarter, but not smarter than other people, and themselves wiser than the former. How? Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Acetylcholine we help in training than his more - the better and easier to learn, the excess can kill. There are 2 types of acetylcholine receptors: nicotinic and muscarinic. Nicotine is an agonist, obviously, for the nicotine, showing the effects of acetylcholine. Genius will not become, but just think better on 15 minutes - perhaps.

From the first 2 plus the possibility and advantages such as: temporary improvement in mood, antidepressant state, relieve fatigue, etc.

Bottom line:

Cigarettes are not worth it. Cons much more than the pros, even if you do not go into details. However, it is still popular to this day in the movies cool as brutal actors smoking cigarettes and all win. Unfortunately, behind the scenes it is their way of life before the shooting.
