Everybody knows that smoking or cigarette is not a good thing. In fact it is really a bad habit and it is very dangerous for some one’s life. But unfortunately not many people could give up smoking easily. It is really hard for smoker to leave even few hours for not smoking! What ashamed isn’t? and worse thing about those who are already very addicted with cigarette that they prefer not to have money rather than not having cigarette. They prefer to spend money rather than keeping it for not buying cigarette and another terrible one is that, when people warn them that this cigarette could take their life, they even said; this cigarette would even keep them alive!! Well.. really pitiful. But this cigarette mania does not realize that. They do not mind or they just do not care about all of those risk. They call the poisons in cigarette as a sweet poison. What actually make this cigarette or smoking habit dangerous for your health is because the nicotine! When that smoker inhales cigarette, the nicotine would rapidly absorbed into their blood and begin to affect the brain within few seconds and it could affect the alertness and enhancing mental performance. Nicotine also increases heart rate and blood pressure and restricts blood flow to the heart muscle. Ironically cigar and pipe smokers that looks much stronger than cigarette is actually only have lower death rates compare to cigarette smokers. Those who likes to chew tobacco and snuff have an elevated risk for oral cancer.
