Seeing Through The Vapor - E-Cigarettes Drug Abuse InfographicLiahona Academy
Vaping refers to the use of electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes which heat chemicals like nicotine into an aerosol that is inhaled. E-cigarette use among teens has doubled in recent years due to various factors like appealing flavors and lack of smell. While e-cigarettes are marketed as safer alternatives to cigarettes, they still contain addictive nicotine and other chemicals that have unknown health effects when inhaled. The document provides tips for parents on educating themselves and their teens about the risks of vaping.
Teen smoking has increased due to tobacco marketing and peer pressure. Teens who smoke are more likely to abuse other substances and do poorly in school, and smoking can lead to long-term health effects such as cancer, heart disease, and addiction. The majority of regular adult smokers begin as teens, when the developing brain may be more vulnerable to nicotine dependence.
Teenagers are unaware of the dangers of smokingShulag Dip
Teenagers are often unaware of the health dangers of smoking because they see adults doing it. Peer pressure and curiosity can lead teens to start smoking. Parents should address smoking suspicions with their teen and get help to quit if needed. Smoking rates among teens remain high worldwide and pose long term health risks, so parents and schools must work together through education and creating smoke-free environments to discourage youth smoking.
This document discusses e-cigarettes and their policy implications. It provides an overview of what e-cigarettes are, how they work, their growth in popularity especially among teens, and concerns about child use initiating smoking. While e-cigarettes may be less harmful than cigarettes, the risks of e-liquid poisoning and effects of long-term vaping are unknown. The FDA now regulates e-cigarettes but challenges remain around marketing and public education. Family doctors should ask about e-cigarette use in kids and adults, discuss risks and benefits of vaping for smoking cessation, and support policies aimed at further reducing smoking rates.
E-cigarettes provide an alternative to nicotine delivery through vapor rather than smoke. While they may be less harmful than conventional cigarettes, there are still health risks and unknown long-term effects. The document discusses both sides of the debate around e-cigarettes. Some view them as a harm reduction tool that can help smokers quit, while others are concerned they could renormalize smoking behaviors and expose users to carcinogens. Long-term studies are still needed to fully understand the safety profile of e-cigarettes and their impacts on public health.
This document contains slides from a presentation on raising the minimum legal age to purchase tobacco products to 21. It discusses evidence that increasing the age reduces youth smoking rates and initiation. The presentation notes that most smokers begin by age 21, and those aged 18-20 purchase little tobacco but supply the majority to younger teens. The document advocates for strong enforcement measures like compliance checks and retailer licensing to ensure the policy is effective.
Smoking has become very common and fashionableZohaib Afridi
Smoking has become popular among young people, especially boys, often starting as an experiment in school. Despite health warnings, people continue smoking due to addiction. Some young people smoke for social reasons or to appear mature. Smoking starts with a few puffs but soon becomes a daily habit, affecting health over time as the smoker becomes dependent on nicotine. Tobacco companies profit globally despite health warnings on packets. Governments raise tobacco prices to discourage smoking, yet smokers remain addicted and spend much of their income on cigarettes, also harming others with secondhand smoke. Quitting requires willpower but is possible if one is determined.
The document contains a collection of quotes and sayings related to Islam. Some of the key messages conveyed are:
- Islam is defined by what Muslims are supposed to do rather than just their actions.
- Difficult times can make us stronger if we endure them patiently.
- We should focus on pleasing Allah in all our words and deeds.
- We must trust that Allah knows best and has our best interests in mind.
- Being kind and polite to others is important as good deeds may lead to rewards in the hereafter.

This document discusses the medicinal uses of tobacco. It notes that tobacco is in the Solanaceae family and the leaves and dried cured leaves are commonly used. Tobacco contains nicotine and other constituents. While smoking tobacco is harmful, the document outlines several traditional medicinal uses of tobacco leaves and nicotine extracts, including as a sedative, expectorant, insecticide, and treatment for toothaches, skin rashes, and snake bites. Some research also suggests nicotine may help treat neurological disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases in small doses. The document concludes by noting tobacco is an effective natural insect repellent for gardens.
This document summarizes a study characterizing the cholinergic receptor agonists nicotine and arecoline using a drug discrimination approach in rats. Male rats were trained using operant conditioning to discriminate between nicotine, arecoline, and saline in either a two-key or three-key paradigm. In two-key training, some anomalies emerged that three-key training may help explain by directly comparing both drugs to saline. Preliminary results show rats can discriminate nicotine and arecoline. Future work includes repeating two-key studies at a higher arecoline dose and introducing potential nicotinic antagonists to develop smoking cessation aids. The study aims to further characterize nicotine and arecoline and their effects to

Functionally genes provide the information that governs the basic biologic and physiological activities of cells conditioning our behavior in relationship with our environment changes. CYP2A6 variants variably inhibit and reduce nicotine dependence and play a significant role in nicotine uptake, distribution, and clearance, implying their clinical potential. Also, CYP2A6 variants have been linked to smoking behavior, nicotine-dependence development, and treatment in epidemiological quantitative and human laboratory studies. It appears in this current study that CYP2A6 variants’ enzymatic activities are correlated to variation in smoking behaviors and are implicated in nicotine treatments as they are capable of metabolizing nicotine, and medication use in nicotine addiction treatment.
Tobacco contains highly addictive nicotine and other dangerous chemicals. It is promoted by tobacco companies to get people, especially teens, addicted for profit despite the severe health risks. Smoking causes cancer, heart and lung disease, costs smokers thousands of dollars per year, and leads teens to other risky behaviors. The younger one starts smoking, the more severe and costly the long-term health problems.
The document discusses the harms of smoking and benefits of smoking cessation. Smoking causes numerous diseases and premature death, while quitting smoking at any age leads to immediate and long-term health improvements. Effective smoking cessation requires a comprehensive program with public education, community programs, helping smokers quit through counseling and medications, school programs, enforcement of tobacco regulations, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation.

The document discusses nicotine and tobacco use. It defines nicotine as a toxic and addictive alkaloid found in tobacco. It then describes different routes of nicotine administration including smoking, oral consumption, and nasal inhalation. The effects of nicotine on the body and brain are explained, including increased heart rate and the release of dopamine and endorphins which produce pleasurable feelings. Statistics on tobacco addiction and the health risks of smoking are also presented.
Cholinergic receptors,funtion and its clinical applicationDr.UMER SUFYAN M
This document discusses the history and functions of acetylcholine and cholinergic receptors. It begins with the 1936 Nobel Prize-winning discovery of acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter by Dale and Loewi. It describes the two main cholinergic receptor classes - muscarinic and nicotinic - and provides details on cholinergic drugs that act as agonists or antagonists at these receptors. These include parasympathomimetic and anticholinergic drugs used to treat various conditions like asthma, glaucoma, peptic ulcers, and Parkinson's disease. The document also discusses organophosphate poisoning and nerve agents that act by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase.
This document discusses caffeine, including its history, sources, mechanism of action, metabolism, extraction processes, health benefits, risks, and decaffeination. Caffeine is a natural stimulant found in coffee, tea, soft drinks and energy drinks. It acts as an antagonist to adenosine receptors in the brain, increasing neuronal activity. While caffeine has potential benefits like reducing Alzheimer's risk, it can also increase heart rate and blood pressure. The document examines studies on both the positive and negative health effects of caffeine consumption.
Caffeine is one of the most widely consumed psychoactive substances. It is found naturally in coffee, tea, chocolate, and some medications. Caffeine is readily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and stimulates the central nervous system by blocking adenosine receptors. At normal doses, caffeine can improve alertness and mood but higher doses may cause anxiety, tremors, and insomnia. Caffeine is also used to help relieve pain when combined with analgesics and to treat asthma and bronchodilation.
This document discusses alcohol and nicotine withdrawal. It notes that alcohol withdrawal presents as symptoms ranging from mild to severe, including delirium tremens, and notes factors that increase risk of severe withdrawal. It recommends treating withdrawal with benzodiazepines and thiamine. Nicotine withdrawal is also discussed, presenting as mood changes, insomnia, and cravings, and can be treated with nicotine replacement therapy. Both alcohol and nicotine can interact with medications, so dosages may need adjusting when withdrawing.
1. Nicotine is highly addictive and causes physical and psychological dependence. Withdrawal from nicotine can cause cravings and symptoms like headaches and irritability.
2. Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body and causes many types of cancer as well as respiratory and heart diseases. Secondhand smoke also increases health risks.
3. Tobacco use, especially before age 18, often leads to long-term addiction. Social influences and misinformation can convince youth to experiment with tobacco despite known health risks. Resisting peer pressure requires assertiveness, education, and choosing non-smoking friends.
- The document discusses nicotine testing methods and their use in various contexts like insurance, employment, schools, and research. It also covers nicotine metabolism and the differences between nicotine and its metabolite cotinine.
- The Nano-Check Rapid Nicotine Test is described as an immunoassay that detects cotinine in urine at cutoff levels of 200ng/ml or 500ng/ml to determine tobacco use. It provides results in 5-10 minutes and is intended for professional use.
- The test works by detecting cotinine in a urine sample via monoclonal antibodies on a test strip, with positive or negative results depending on whether or not a test line appears within the timeframe.
The document contains several Islamic quotes from the Quran about patience, trusting in Allah, and kindness towards parents. It encourages believers to seek help through patience and prayer, as Allah is with the patient. It notes that Allah does not burden a soul beyond its ability to bear hardship. The document also states that Allah loves those who put their trust in Him and instructs believers to treat parents and relatives with kindness.
The document discusses nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), which are ligand-gated ion channels composed of five subunits that form a central channel. nAChRs are found in the neuromuscular junction, autonomic ganglia, and central nervous system. They are activated by acetylcholine and other agonists binding and allow cation passage. Defects in these receptors are associated with disorders such as myasthenia gravis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and epilepsy.
Ionotropic receptors include nicotinic acetylcholine receptors activated by nicotine, and glutamate receptors including AMPA, NMDA, and kainate receptors. NMDA receptors require both glutamate and glycine to open the channel. GABA receptors have binding sites for substances like picrotoxin, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates. Metabotropic receptors are G-protein coupled receptors where neurotransmitter binding activates G proteins, which then activate effector proteins to produce intracellular messengers that can gate ion channels. At the synapse, an action potential causes calcium influx and vesicle fusion, releasing neurotransmitters that can produce excitatory or inhibitory postsynaptic potentials depending on the receptor and
