What is nocotine?
NIcotine are the one of ciggartes wich bad for your lungs
What are the gaseous pollutants present in cigarette smoke?
off the top of my head, nocotine, tar, benzene, CO.
Does Nocotine stimulates the brain vomit reflex and changes the way it functions which leads to addiction?
The proper question would actually be: Does nicotine stimulate the brain vomit reflex, and change the way it functions, leading to addiction? In answer to your question, the health textbook says yes. However, this is to be taken with a grain of salt, as the same health textbook claims that death is a short-term effect of alcohol use. Next time, try spell check and maybe another attempt at second grade english, thanks.
Does smokeless tobacco have nicotine in it?
The key ingredient in "chew" or smokeless tobacco is nocotine, just like in cigarettes. The quit-smoking patches and gums all contain nicotine so essentially you can get the same "buzz" from that. I don't know if there are pills though. _______________________________________________________________________ your best bet is skoal bandits they are little pouches of tobaco you cant swollow them like a pill though To give a real answer here: no, nicotine does not come in a pill form, such as a tablet or capsule (I am not counting dermal patches or lozenges). However, it really should, but because of the negative reputation of tobacco products like cigarettes, all research into nicotine for use in, say, controlling involuntary motor tics, Huntington's disease, Tourette syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder, and attention deficit disorder has virtually been shelved permanently. A pity, because scientific tests by pathologists have shown nicotine to be extremely effective when used in conjunction with psychotropics and neuroleptics for treating the conditions above. Like ethyl alcohol (which gets a bad rap for being the intoxicating ingredient in liquor), nicotine has been given virtual blacklist status in medical research, undeservingly so! _____________________________________________________________________ Yes, there is a pill form of tobacco. It is called dissolvable tobacco and is currently made by R. J. Reynolds in the form of Camel Dissolvables, Orbs, Strips and Sticks. It is also made by Phillip Morris sold as Marlboro Snus. You don't swallow the pill, but rather let it dissolve in your mouth and swallow the dissolved tobacco in your saliva. The Orbs look like candy and have a minty taste like Tic Tacs. This has generated a great deal of controversy as they appeal to teens and can be easily concealed. The health risks of the dissolvable tobacco are currently being tested as they are new products. Given that you swallow the product in your saliva, oral and digestive tract cancers similar to chewing tobacco are a likely health concern. Some Swedish studies on Snus have shown an increase in pancreatic cancer.
What does tobacco do to blood vessels?
First, it contains tar. Tar is a sticky black substances that when it is inhaled, gets stuck in the cilia of your throat and lungs. The body can normally get rid of it somewhat well except for that fact that cigarettes also have formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is the chemical used to preserve dead organisms (like a frog you would dissect in middle school). This causes the tar to stay stuck and preserved in your lungs and throat. Next, it contains hundred of chemicals and compounds such as rat poison and carbon monoxide (both pretty toxic stuff). Next, the nicotine gets you addicted and affects the way your neurons work in your brain and throughout your body. Not only that, but nicotine is a stimulant and a depressant. This is what makes its effects so powerful. It constrict blood vessels so blood may not get to your extremities as fast or efficient. Constricted blood vessel with blood cells coated in tar increases your risk for strokes and heart attacks. Lastly, lung cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, and heart disease (the number one killer in America) are all directly linked to smoking. It constricts the blood vessels, clogs the breathing passages, increases heart rate and blood pressure, turns teeth yellow, gives bad breath, suppresses the appetite so as to inhibit proper nutrition, and turns your fingernails brown. Tobacco can create a tar like substance in your lungs, causing aesthma and to a larger extent, lung cancer. However, cigarettes are an entirely different matter, and contain chemicals that can do a variety of damage.
