15. DIFFERENT KINDS OF SMOKES

16. WHY DO YOU SMOKE?
 Nicotine is the only known psychoactive ingredient in tobacco smoke.
 Addicted smokers smoke for one principal reason---to get their
accustomed doses of nicotine.
 When you stop smoking you will likely experience unpleasant side
effects.
 Research shows that nicotine provides a variety of desirable
psychological effects.

17. GOOD FEELINGS ABOUT IT
 The average smoker takes ten puffs per cigarette.
 If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, this is about 200 puffs
 Each puff of nicotine reaches the smokers brain within 7 seconds
Twice as fast as a syringe full of heroin injected into a vein!
 Once nicotine enters the brain, it begins to mimic the brain’s most
powerful chemical messengers.
 The result: enhanced pleasure, decreased anxiety and a state of
alert relaxation.
 Because of this positive reinforcement many times a day (each time
a cigarette is smoked) smoking becomes a part of every aspect of a
smokers life.

18. Most smokers say that smoking:
 Helps with concentration
 Helps reduce tension
 Helps them relax
 Decreases feelings of distress
 Helps keep their weight down
 Increases energy levels
GOOD FEELINGS ABOUT IT

19. With all these rewards, No wonder it is so hard to quit!!!!
 The rewards of smoking go a long way toward minimizing the
negative consequences and an even longer way toward ensuring
that the act of smoking is repeated again and again
 Until it becomes a habit so well ingrained that you do it without
even thinking about it!
BUT…THE HIDDEN TRUTH IS…

20.  But, smoking is not just a habit---
 It is an addiction.
 Nicotine in cigarettes is a powerful addictive drug that makes
smokers feel good.
 Each time you smoke, the positive biological effects of nicotine add
to all the other positive rewards of smoking making the habit even
stronger!
BUT…THE HIDDEN TRUTH IS…

ACCUTE EFFECTS

 Metabolic rate increases
 Even the electrical activity in the brain changes!
Beginning smokers usually experience:

Psychologically, tolerance to the unpleasant effects of nicotine allows the smoker to
focus on the pleasurable physiological effects associated with smoking. (relaxation,
alertness, stress relief etc.)

28. However, people who continue to smoke soon develop a tolerance to these
symptoms until they become unnoticeable.
HEALTH EFFECTS OF SMOKING
 Nicotine is a powerful drug!!

it and it can kill you!
