DIFFERENT KINDS OF SMOKES

WHY DO YOU SMOKE?

Nicotine is the only known psychoactive ingredient in tobacco smoke.

Addicted smokers smoke for one principal reason---to get their accustomed doses of nicotine.

When you stop smoking you will likely experience unpleasant side effects.

Research shows that nicotine provides a variety of desirable psychological effects.

GOOD FEELINGS ABOUT IT

The average smoker takes ten puffs per cigarette. If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, this is about 200

puffs Each puff of nicotine reaches the smokers brain within 7

seconds Twice as fast as a syringe full of heroin injected into a vein!

Once nicotine enters the brain, it begins to mimic the brain’s most powerful chemical messengers.

The result: enhanced pleasure, decreased anxiety and a state of alert relaxation.

Because of this positive reinforcement many times a day (each time a cigarette is smoked) smoking becomes a part of every aspect of a smokers life.

Most smokers say that smoking: Helps with concentration Helps reduce tension Helps them relax Decreases feelings of distress Helps keep their weight down Increases energy levels

GOOD FEELINGS ABOUT IT

With all these rewards, No wonder it is so hard to quit!!!!

The rewards of smoking go a long way toward minimizing the negative consequences and an even longer way toward ensuring that the act of smoking is repeated again and again

Until it becomes a habit so well ingrained that you do it without even thinking about it!

BUT…THE HIDDEN TRUTH IS…

But, smoking is not just a habit--- It is an addiction. Nicotine in cigarettes is a powerful addictive drug that

makes smokers feel good. Each time you smoke, the positive biological effects of

nicotine add to all the other positive rewards of smoking making the habit even stronger!

BUT…THE HIDDEN TRUTH IS…

Psychologically, tolerance to the unpleasant effects of nicotine allows the smoker to focus on the pleasurable physiological effects associated with smoking. (relaxation, alertness, stress relief etc.)

However, people who continue to smoke soon develop a tolerance to these symptoms until they become unnoticeable.

HEALTH EFFECTS OF SMOKING

enough of it and it can kill you! Each cigarette generally contains 8 or 9mg of nicotine However the amount of nicotine inhaled from each cigarette is only
