Causes of death
Nicotine All forms of tobacco contains nicotine. These
chemicals enter by the mouth and lungs. After enter to the body they go to the brain and attach to the receptors on nerve cells. When the brain sends chemicals messages through the body, the nicotine effect occurs causing increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Nicotine is a very powerful drug.
Tolerance and dependence The more a person use the drug, the less effect the drug has. The process of the body getting
used to a drug is called tolerance.
Once nicotine has caused a person’s brain to change, that is dependent. Physical dependence is a state in which the body needs a drug to function normally. People who are physical dependent experience fewer effects of tobacco. It develops quickly in most tobacco users.
Drug addiction is inability to control one’s use of drug
Psychological dependence Drug addiction also affects de mind as well.
Some people think that they need tobacco feel energetic or relax, or may get so much pleasure from tobacco that they even enjoy holding a lightning cigarette. At these point they are mental dependence. Psychological dependence is a state in which you think you need a drug in order to function.
Withdrawal When tobacco users are dependent on nicotine, they feel uncomfortable without tobacco, they will have withdrawal. Withdrawal is the way in which the body responds when a dependent person stops using a drug. Withdrawal from nicotine may cause: *Anxious *Irritable *Tired *Headaches *Poor concentration
Relapse Most of the people want to quit, but at the
month they relapse. Relapse is to begging using a drug again after stopping for awhile.
Cessation Most people decide quitting by the method of
cold turkey, but most people need professional help, or cessation. Cessation is the act of stopping something entirely and permanently
Using medicine Medicines can help people quitting, and a research shows that the people that use
medicine is the one that have more success quitting
One of the hardest parts of quitting is withdrawal from nicotine. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is a form of medicine that contains safe amounts of nicotine. These small amounts of nicotine reduce withdrawal discomfort so that quitting is easier. Nicotine gum and patches are the most common forms of NRT. Before using any therapy with medicines you will need to go to a doctor.
Most of teens began to smoke cause peer pressure. Peer pressure is a strong influence from friend or a class mate.
