America. It is in the
same family as the
potato, pepper and
the poisonous
nightshade. It is a
very deadly plant.

Tobacco Could be Used as
Cure to 36 Different

“History of the
Medicinal plants of New

Nicotine is the main addictive component in tobacco, which
is administered via smoking (e.g., cigarettes, cigars, pipes,
bidis, hookah) or in smokeless formulations (e.g., dip, snuff,
snus, chew). However, smoking tobacco is clearly not
equivalent to taking nicotine. Cigarette smoking causes
nicotine, brain monoamine oxidase (MAO), and other effects
in the smoker, some due to the smoke and others due to
nicotine
Following administration, nicotine rapidly binds to
nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central
nervous system (CNS), where it acts as a mild
psychostimulant and mood modulator in a
nonimpairing, yet profoundly addictive manner.
When the user is tired, smoking has a stimulating
effect. When the user is anxious or stressed,
smoking exerts a calming effect. Smoking is
injection without a needle, and owing to its short
half-life, repeated self administration serves to
effectively relieve unpleasant withdrawal
symptoms from the nicotine itself. Repeated use
quickly leads to both physiologic and
psychological dependence.
What are some of the
consequences of
smoking?
Smoking affects how long you live
and your quality of life
Cigarette smokers die younger than non-smokers. In
fact, according to a study done in the late 1990s by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
smoking shortened male smokers’ lives by 13.2 years
and female smokers’ lives by 14.5 years. Men and
women who smoke are much more likely to die
between the ages of 35 and 69 than those who have
never smoked. Stopping smoking by age 40 reduces
loss of life by about 90%, but quitting at any age can
reduce the risk of early death.

smokes in pregnancy. It affects the brain
development of baby. and have lower birth

illnesses.
This happens even when mother is a
passive smoker.
The chances of miscarriage, premature
birth and fetal death increase.
But what does these
things really look like?
