Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

17. What are the effects of TOBACCO and
SMOKING?
Within 10 seconds of your first puff, the toxic
chemicals in tobacco smoke (particularly
NICOTINE) reach your brain, heart and other
organs.
Smoking harms almost every part of your body
and increases your risk of many diseases.
Smoking also affects how you look and feel, your
finances and the people close to you.
NO TOBACCO
- NO SMOKING
AWARENESS -
ADVOCACY
Always remember:
Smoking leads to
disease and
disability and
harms nearly every
organ of the body!
18. How you become addicted to smoking?
The nicotine in tobacco is highly addictive. It
makes your brain release a chemical called
dopamine.
Dopamine is a ‘feel good’ chemical that:
•makes you feel happy
•helps you to concentrate
•gives you more energy.
But this effect doesn’t last long.
NO TOBACCO
- NO SMOKING
AWARENESS -
ADVOCACY
19. How you become addicted to smoking?
As the nicotine levels in your body fade, your
brain craves more dopamine. The longer you
have been smoking, the more dopamine you
need to feel good. You become dependent on
nicotine.
NO TOBACCO

AWARENESS -
ADVOCACY
20. How you become addicted to smoking?
Once you are dependent on nicotine, without it
you will have withdrawal symptoms. You may
find it difficult to concentrate or feel nervous,
restless, irritable or anxious.
These two things — nicotine dependence and
nicotine withdrawal — make you want to smoke
more. You become addicted to tobacco.

21. How tobacco damages your body?
The chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage
your body in many ways. For example:
•Nicotine narrows your veins and arteries. This
can
• damage your heart by forcing it to work
faster and harder
• slow your blood and reduce oxygen to
your feet and hands.

22. How tobacco damages your body?
The chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage
your body in many ways. For example:
•Carbon monoxide deprives your heart of the
oxygen it needs to pump blood around your
body. Over time, your airways swell up and let
less air into your lungs.
•Tar is a sticky substance that coats your lungs
like soot in a chimney.

23. How tobacco damages your body?
The chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage your
body in many ways. For example:
•Phenols paralyse and kill the hair-like cells in your
airways. These cells sweep clean the lining of your
airways and protect them against infections.
•Tiny particles in tobacco smoke irritate your throat
and lungs and cause ‘smoker’s cough’. This makes you
produce more mucus and damages lung tissue.

24. How tobacco damages your body?
The chemicals in tobacco smoke can damage
your body in many ways. For example:
•Ammonia and formaldehyde irritate your eyes,
nose and throat.
•Cancer-causing chemicals make your cells grow
too fast or abnormally. This can result in cancer
cells.

If you smoke, you:
•reduce your life expectancy and your quality of
life.

Is passive smoking ever safe?
There is no safe level of passive smoking.

exposed for just a moment.
If someone smokes indoors, the harmful chemicals in tobacco smoke
can stay in the air for hours. You cannot reduce the smoke to
acceptable levels, even if you ventilate or filter the air.

of passive smoking.
