The effect on the human body of nicotine. About the dangers of smoking

People have been smoking for centuries. But very few people know how cigarettes hit the territory of our country.

History of smoking on the territory of our country

On the territory of Russia, this pernicious habit appeared even under Ivan the Terrible, to whom the Cuban ambassadors presented several cigars. Prior to this landmark event, the tsar's grandees smoked tea and found it to be a pleasure.

The cigarettes were widely distributed under Peter the Great, who, as is known, liked to spread Western habits everywhere.

At first only high-ranking people could afford cigars, but eventually the peasants could try the nicotine effect on themselves.

It has long been proven that cigarettes bring a deceptive feeling of cheerfulness and comfort, and there is a lot of harm from them. The effect on the human body of nicotine is great, let's talk about it.

Why do people smoke

Every smoker with experience once smoked his first cigarette. The first time it causes a cough, nausea, dizziness. The body is struggling to protest. If a person breaks himself, nicotine in the blood spreads and becomes addictive. Like any other drug, cigarettes cause lifting of the spirit, euphoria, improvement of brain activity. But all this has no long-playing effect, with time it is found that the pressure rises, the heart pounding from the slightest load, dyspnea and coughing at night.

Nicotine with blood spreads to all nerve endings, knocking down or altering the work of the nervous system and internal organs. Hence this euphoria when it is used, and on the other hand - increasing blood pressure.

Harm to nicotine for the body

Many people think that nicotine does not cause much harm, and smoke that is released during smoking is more dangerous. This is also true: with the inhalation of soot and was able to settle in the lungs, but it is nicotine that causes a person to smoke again and again a lot of cigarettes, causing the strongest addiction. If the entire dose of this drug contained in one cigarette is injected into the vein of a person at once, then instant death will occur. Saves only the fact that nicotine in the lungs is absorbed in small doses, gradually poisoning and slagging the body.

Smoking women and girls more often suffer from infertility, uterine bleeding, they often end in pregnancy with miscarriages.

The main symptoms of nicotine poisoning

Even the most inveterate smokers sometimes suffer suffering from smoking. Nicotine can cause poisoning of the body. This occurs as a result of his overdose, which occurs if a person consumes more than 5 packs of cigarettes a day.

The main symptoms of an overdose are:

All these symptoms can be fatal. Therefore, you should not bring yourself to an extreme degree of nicotine addiction. And, most importantly, you need to go to the doctor in time.

Why you can not smoke pregnant and lactating

A smoking pregnant woman causes at least disgust. Poisoning herself, she does not think about poisoning the baby. Nicotine excellently penetrates the placenta, causing irreparable harm to the health of crumbs. It slows down its growth and development of internal organs, affects the lungs and central nervous system.

After the birth of such a baby is very high risk of allergic reactions, intestinal colic, the syndrome of sudden infant death manifests itself more often than in children whose mothers led a healthy lifestyle.

There is also a myth that pregnant women should not quit smoking, it is considered that it is harmful to the child. This, of course, is not true. To give birth to a healthy child, it is better to get rid of this habit even before conception. The test for nicotine will show how your body cleared.

Why should I quit smoking and other people

The effect on the human body of nicotine is known to everyone. But only in the 20th century began an active fight against tobacco smoking. Over the past century alone, more than 100 million people have died from this habit all over the world.

Numerous animal experiments have shown that the more developed the nervous system, the stronger the harmful effects of nicotine. Needless to say, a person is almost at the head of this chain.

Moreover, studies indicate that active smoking takes in an average of about 10 years of life. Maybe it's worth for these years to find the best application?

Quit smoking is to save money! Smoking is not an expensive pleasure, besides, according to the law of the Russian Federation, there are a number of public places where this is forbidden, and for illegal smoking there will be a fine. Saved money is best left for a week of rest abroad.

A person who smokes is a source of danger to his family members. People who inhale smoke are not of their own free will, they are called passive smokers. And the damage from this is often even higher than with direct use.

Treatment of nicotine addiction

There are many methods of treating this dependence. A huge number of authoring techniques, coding, tablets and other traditional or non-traditional medicine makes everyone lose their heads. Before you take any method to help yourself, a nicotine-dependent person should tune in, decide that life will be much better for him after smoking the last cigarette.

We will not disassemble in detail the author's methodologies, their action of scientific proof is not and is accepted only on faith.

Various nicotine patches, injections and pills that facilitate the transition to a healthy lifestyle, chewing gums and much more have a scientific rationale and are often prescribed by a drug doctor to ease the general condition.

Everyone who quits smoking, of course, cares about the question: "How much does nicotine go?". This question can be answered unequivocally: nicotine is gradually coming out, an hour after the last tightening the blood pressure is normalized, after a week - the taste buds are strengthened , and a month later, the "smoker's cough" passes .

After a year of a healthy lifestyle, the risk of strokes and heart attacks, cancer and many others is halved.

Ways to stop smoking

Few of the smokers consider themselves dependent. The most common excuse is: "I can quit, but I do not want to yet." And when such a person still decides to give up cigarettes, he usually first of all seeks help from folk medicine, which offers a great many recipes. Here are a couple of effective recipes.

1. Take tobacco for self-rolling, soak it in milk and roll back. The taste and smell of this scooter is simply disgusting.
2. With every bout of desire to light it is necessary to rinse the mouth with the broth of the coil. After such a procedure, it disappears for a long time.
3. Oat broth also discourages the use of cigarettes. 1 cup of oats pour 1 liter of water and simmer the hour over low heat. Take 1 glass every 3 hours. In a couple of days, you can safely reduce the amount of nicotine you use.

The effect on the human body of nicotine is such that it will desperately resist, trying to regain the usual dose. The main thing is that all those who are close and close are supporters of the quitting smoking.

Folk healers recommend replacing cigarettes with something else. For example, to use at such moments peanuts, seeds, peas, and hands will be occupied, and these products will reduce cravings.

After a while after quitting smoking, you can test for nicotine, which will show how much it has left the body. The lower its concentration in the blood, the easier it will be for the general condition of a person.

The negative impact of smoking cessation on health

It must be understood that if a person smoked 2-3 packs a day for many years, then quitting can not pass unnoticed. The organism eventually adapted to the "poison". Therefore, do not be afraid if after quitting smoking in the first week there will be insomnia or, conversely, increased drowsiness.

As a result of "breaking", headache or toothache may appear. Nicotine affects the vessels and, with its lack, painful spasms may occur.

In addition, there may be problems with the intestines: constipation or diarrhea. It is worth saying that all this is of a short-term nature. Maximum in a week the body can return to normal functioning. It is necessary only to have patience.

The nervous state of a person will also be at the limit: depression, irritability, reduced concentration of attention. All this is explained by the fact that nicotine has been working on the brain for a long time, and now it needs to somehow manage without the usual doping.

Many people, on the contrary, in the first hours after the end of smoking feel a rise in their strength, a surge of energy.

Any state of a person will depend on many factors: age, length of smoking and simply individual characteristics of the organism.

The positive impact of quitting on the body

If a person has withstood all the negative tests and managed to get rid of this habit, the consequences will be extremely positive. This can be felt a week after the last puff.

Women will notice that their complexion has improved, its earthy hue has disappeared, an unpleasant smell from the mouth has gone. In addition to this, men will improve their potency and increase the overall level of vitality.

Food will become much more flavorful due to the restoration of taste buds.

The harm of nicotine can be described for a long time, but after its cancellation the benefits will be much greater.

What doctors offer

Doctors distinguish two types of nicotine addiction - physical and mental.

Mental dependence is due to the fact that nicotine accumulates in the organs of the central nervous system, causing loss of control over oneself, as well as the strongest addiction, comparable only to heroin addiction.

The physical dependence is such that even a couple of days after the start of smoking, nicotine becomes part of the metabolic processes of the body's vital activity. The existence of the organism itself can no longer occur without nicotine.

Proceeding from all these features, if independent attempts to quit smoking have not been successful, you need to see a doctor.

In Russian polyclinics, since 2012, cabinets have been opened to help quit smoking. The medical personnel of each person who appeals are carefully examined and will make an individual plan for the abandonment of this addiction.

Doctors recommend that people suffering from various chronic diseases take their health seriously and stop smoking with the help of modern medicine.

Modern cigarettes went through a long evolution, first using tobacco for roll-up, then cigars, and finally cigarettes with all sorts of filters. However, no matter what the form of this drug, no one can dispute the effect on the human body of nicotine.
