The real danger with smoking
comes from nicotine. Sure, there are plenty of other dangers involved
but nicotine is the chemical that keeps you coming back. When you become
addicted to nicotine, it can literally be a life sentence. Nicotine
is both physically and psychologically addictive.
Other than being addictive,
nicotine also raises both the heart rate and blood pressure. Smoking
makes you feel alert yet relaxed. In less than a half hour, the nicotine
'high' is lost and the smoker starts to feel edgy and anxious. This
is one of the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. It is these withdrawal
symptoms that make it so difficult to quit.
The real life dangers of
smoking do not stop with nicotine. Cancer is a real risk and so is heart
disease. The chemicals that are found in cigarette smoke can cause many
different health ailments if there is exposure over a prolonged period
of time. This is the main reason that we say that nicotine is the biggest
danger. You could have exposure to the other chemical compounds on a
short term basis and come away fairly unscathed.
If you are exposed to nicotine,
you then run the risk of becoming addicted and then you could end up
smoking your whole life. Over the course of a lifetime, taking in all
those carcinogens and nasty chemical compounds is bound to cause you
to have certain health issues.
Many people have trouble
quitting. It can take up to dozens of tries before you can successfully
quit smoking. The main reason for this is that the side effects of nicotine
withdrawal cause you to give up your attempt prematurely. Now there
is a product that you can buy to take care of that. Smoke Deter, the
product that is featured at the top of this page, helps to take away
the side effects of nicotine withdrawal.
