1. When you smoke, nicotine is sent to your brain where it attaches to nicotine receptors. 2. a chemical called dopamine is released, making you feel good. 3. Then, your dopamine levels drop. This makes you want another cigarette.

The probability that a long-term smoker will eventually be killed by tobacco is 1 in 2. The director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO) stated: "A cigarette is . . . a cleverly crafted product that delivers just the right amount of nicotine to keep its user addicted for life before killing the person."

In the United States, tobacco use is to blame for 1 out of every 5 deaths. In that country, it kills more people each year than "alcohol, illegal drug use, homicide, suicide, car accidents, and AIDS combined," states a report from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Those poisonous chemicals especially harm the health of children. It makes the user a slave to the damaging habit. In fact, researchers believe that addiction to nicotine, a key chemical in tobacco, is one of the most difficult addictions to break. Please see Awake article on jw.org
