DANGERS OF SMOKING,YOU MAY DIE YOUNG IF YOU SMOKE!

There are many dangers of smoking to the body, to the immediate family, to the society, to the environment and to the economy. Once a cigarette reaches a temperature of nearly 2,000 degrees . This high heat helps release thousands of chemical compounds, including poisons like carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, at least 43 carcinogens, and numerous mutagens. All of these are drawn into the body when a smoker inhales. One of the main dangers of smoking is due to Nicotine. Nicotine is found naturally in tobacco. It has no odor and no color. It is, however, both physically and psychologically addictive. Nicotine enters the body as tiny droplets resting on particles of tar in cigarette smoke. Inhaled into the lungs, the drug passes quickly into the bloodstream, reaching the brain within about 30 seconds. In another 40 to 50 seconds the nicotine has spread to all parts of the body. The nicotine raises both the heart rate and blood pressure. The smoker quickly feels more alert and relaxed. In less than 30 minutes, however, about half of the nicotine has left the bloodstream, and the smoker starts feeling less alert, more edgy. One more of the dangers of smoking are Carbon monoxide. Smoking also increases the level of carbon monoxide in the lungs. This poisonous gas is quickly absorbed into the blood, reducing its capacity to carry oxygen. As a result, the smoker has to exert more physical effort to attain a given task than does a nonsmoker. The heart in particular must work harder, particularly during rigorous exercise. Smoking is the one of the main cause of death every year. Smoking cause number of smoke related diseases such as lung cancer, respiratory problems and heart ailments and these dangers of smoking are increasing yearly. Research has shown that smoking reduces life expectancy by seven to eight years.Of the 300 people who die every day in the UK as a result of smoking, many are comparatively young smokers. The number of people under the age of 70 who die from smoking-related diseases exceeds the total figure for deaths caused by breast cancer, AIDS, traffic accidents and drug addiction. Cardiovascular disease Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death due to smoking. Hardening of the arteries is a process that develops over years, when cholesterol and other fats deposit in the arteries, leaving them narrow, blocked or rigid. When the arteries narrow  blood clots are likely to form. Smoking accelerates the hardening and narrowing process in your arteries: it starts earlier and blood clots are two to four times more likely. COPD Cardiovasular disease can take many forms depending on which blood vessels are involved, and all of them are more common in people who smoke Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a collective term for a group of conditions that block airflow and make breathing more difficult, such as: Smoking is the most common cause of COPD and is responsible for 80 per cent of cases.emphysema – breathlessness caused by damage to the air sacs (alveoli) chronic bronchitis – coughing with a lot of mucus that continues for at least three months. It's estimated that 94 per cent of 20-a-day smokers have some emphysema when the lungs are examined after death, while more than 90 per cent of non-smokers have little or none.

BENEFIT OF SMOKING TOBACCO

So we all know and  aware of the effects of smoking. In fact, governments are working hard to reduce the amount of places where you can smoke. That still doesn't mean there aren't advantages to lighting up Cigarette once in a while.

In fact, science  shows that short-term exposure to cigarette smoke can have health benefits. From mental stimulation to physical transformation, smokers themselves are aware of a lot of these lesser-known impacts of tobacco.

Millions try for years to quit smoking, and for many it is just not an option. With workplace stress or physical dependency, it’s difficult for the majority of smokers to give it up. For those who have tried and failed to quit the habit, let these scientific words of encouragement ease your pain.
Here are just a few of these unknown benefits of smoking cigarettes based on recent scientific studies.

1. Weight loss
Perhaps more obvious to many, tobacco overcome the body’s appetite and overall desire to eat for brief periods of time. For those who are excessively overweight and for those who battle over-eating disorders, tobacco has proven to show that there are direct benefits to smoking cigarettes.

2. Relaxation
One of the main reasons people take up or continue smoking cigarettes is because it relaxes them during stressful periods. Although people have suggested taking up alternative habits to coping with stress, smoking is undoubtedly the most common method to relieving anxiety and stress for a short term.

3. Mental stimulation
You get mental advantages of smoking . Nicotine – contained in all cigarettes – has been proven to stimulate the release of dopa-mine, a chemical contained in the brain that releases euphoric bouts of pleasure. Smokers often combat stress with smoking and in turn increase levels of happiness and pleasure for a brief period of time before the chemical subsides.

4. Lower risk of death following a heart attack
A recent study showed that another benefit to smoking cigarettes is that, smokers appear to have a lower likelihood of death following a heart attack. Evidence also shows that smokers who do have heart attacks seem to have less dangerous heart attacks than non-smokers. Some studies have also shown that smokers respond more positively to post-heart attack treatment than non-smokers.

Of course, these studies are likely flawed because heart disease may be linked to the very act of smoking itself, but it’s a nice thought if you’re a smoker, isn't it?

5. Lower risk or impacts of mental illness
Evidence also shows that a significant amount of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia use tobacco as a way to self-medication. Smoking has also indirectly been shown to reduce the risk of mental illnesses such as Alzheimer and dementia.

6. Lowers risk of neurological disease
Prominent studies have shown smokers as less likely to suffer from neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s. Longer-term smokers, as it seems, appear to be virtually immune from contracting the disease, as opposed to short-term or non-smokers.
