Smoking

Smoking is an awful habit. Inhaling tobacco triggers chemical reactions in nerve endings. The cholinergic receptors are triggered by naturally occurring neurotransmitter Acetylcholine. Acetylcholine and Nicotine express chemical similarities, which allow Nicotine to trigger the receptor as well. The science of smoking is naturally a trick to the brain, making cigarettes contribute to psychological instability. Not only does it affect chemicals in the brain but also contributes to many health problems associated with the body. Tobacco smoke in most cases, directly affects the heart and lungs. Smoking is a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, and cancer (particularly lung cancer, cancers of the larynx and mouth, and pancreatic cancer). Cigarettes are also the number on cause for bladder cancer. Tobacco has a negative effect on your mind and body, its proven; but it also largely influences your financial status. Substances that are addictive will always have a large consumer base, an addictive substance that is legal will always have a very large consumer base, and with this demand, it allows the many successful cigarette companies to promote and always have their products available.

Smoking cigarettes is a benefit to only a few people, the employees that produce them, and the employers who see the profits. The positive that cigarettes provide is the mild release of dopamine, which does make you feel comfortable and settled, but after your relief, the negative backlash takes place, and after time makes you crave that sense of relaxation increasingly more often. Smoking is a habit that you can quickly dig yourself into and take forever to get out of.
