Introduction

Background

When people get addicted they have a compulsive need to seek out and use is a substance, even when they understand the harm it can cause Tobacco products-cigarettes, cigars, pipes and smokeless tobacco can all be addicted. Everyone knows that smoking is bad for you, and most people that do it want to quit. In fact 35millionpeople make a serious attempt to quit each year. Unfortunately, most who try to quit on their own elapse-often within a week. Nicotine is one of the main ingredients in tobacco.
Nicotine is a powerful drug that speeds up the brain and central nervous system. It triggers the release of a chemical in your brain that boosts your mood, makes you feel calm, at the same time, can make you feel more alert. The nicotine in cigarettes smoke is absorbed through the skin living of the mouth and the nose. nicotine level in your blood peaks within 10 seconds of inhaling cigarettes smoke into your lungs.
Overtime, your brain adjusts to the stimulation(“buzz”) from nicotine and lowers your natural energy level or mood. may then start to crave a cigarette for a boost. The more you smoke the more nicotine you need to feel good. Soon, your body craves nicotine to feel “normal”. Being without nicotine for even a few hours can cause withdrawal symptoms like headaches, depression, anger, anxiety, and problems sleeping.
Withdrawal symptoms last about a week for most people you can cope with them by knowing what expect and finding other ways to handle cravings before you quit. symptoms are a sign that your body is healing.
The other part of nicotine addiction is behavior. After months or years of smoking, cigarettes becomes a part of your daily life. You may light a cigarettes out of habit. Smoking habits can also be formed by the way you feel . Many smokes reach for a cigarette when they feel bored, stressed or angry. Even if you have been smoking for many years, you learn to live without cigarettes. But it takes practice. Tobacco use is leading presentable cause of disease , disability and death in the United States , according to the center for disease control and prevention (CDC) , cigarette smoking result in more than 443,000 premature deaths in the United States each year –about 1 in every 5 U. S. death – and an addiction 8.6 million people suffer with a serious illness caused by smoking. Thus for everyone person who dies from smoking , 20 more suffer from at least one serious tobacco-related lines.
The harmful effects of smoking extend far beyond the smokes. Exposure to second-hand smoke can cause serious disease and death. Each year , an estimated 126 million Americans are regularly exposed to second-hand smoke and almost 50 thousand non-smokers die from diseases caused by second-hand exposure.
Cigarettes and other forms of tobacco including cigars, pipe tobacco, snuff, and chewing tobacco – contain the addictive drug nicotine. Nicotine is readily absorbed into the bloodstream when a tobacco product is chewed, inhaled or smoked. A typical smoker will take 10 puffs on a cigarette over a period of 5 minutes that the cigarette is lit. Thus, a person who smokes about
1 ½ packs (30 cigarettes) daily gets “300 hits” of nicotine each day. Upon entering the bloodstream , nicotine immediately stimulates the adrenal glands to release the hormone adrenalin. Epinephrine stimulates the central nervous system and increases blood pressure , respiration and heart rate. Like cocaine , heroin and marijuana, nicotine increases level way the neurotransmitter dopamine, which affects the brain pathways that control reward and pleasure. For many tobacco users, long-term brain changes induced by continued nicotine exposure result in addiction a condition of compulsive drug seeking and use , even in the face of negative consequences. Studies suggest that additional compounds in tobacco smoke such as acetyl - dehyde , may enhance nicotine’s effects on the brain. When an addicted user tries to quit, he or she experiences withdrawal symptoms including irritability attention difficulties, sleep disturbances, increase appetite, and powerful cravings for tobacco. Treatments can help smokers manage their symptoms and improve the likelihood successfully quitting.
