Smoking and Tobacco Use

Many states have enacted laws to protect non smokers from second hand smoke. There is a federal law that bans smoking on airplanes. There are also several states that do not allow smoking in public buildings.

There is no minimum age to purchase tobacco in Israel. Any person of any age can purchase tobacco in Israel.

They do not have any responsibility for their customer because the customers made the decision to smoke. So since they want the tobacco they can take everything that comes with it. People hear about tobacco uses and how they affect your body but apparently they don't listen so they can not hold any tobacco company responsible for deaths or and diseases that come with smoking.

I agree with the above whole heartedly. They are selling a legal product, and the buyer should be accepting all the liabilities associated with that product, or not buy the product in the first place. An analogy to this scenario ... I buy a lawnmower from Frimfratz Company, and it accidentally cuts off my big toe ... so Frimfratz Company is then responsible for everyone that loses their big toe? Hardly.

Nicotine at very low levels (10 nM - 100 uM) enhances synaptic transmission. Since the neurons affected are in the striate cortex and participate in the reward pathways it maybe that this partly explains why nicotine is addictive.

Smoking is a formed habit and it will take time to stop however, you have to be willing and wanting to stop smoking before any of the treatments that are available will work. Cutting back daily is one of the best ways to halt smoking as it will allow you to at a slower pace stop without overwhelming yourself with the cravings.

A definitive answer cannot be given, but many millions are.

Chewing tobacco will have no effect with your voice whatsoever, unless of course you are speaking or singing with some in your mouth. Chewing tobacco does not ever go into your lungs or even near your vocal chords, unless of course you somehow inhale it.

No you can not use a bbq coal cuz there are chemicals in it that make it toxic to inhale directly.

Mainstream smoke is a combination of inhaled and exhaled smoke after taking a puff on a lit cigarette. The composition of mainstream smoke is affected by how the smoker inhales and exhales, so it will vary from person to person. The frequency of puffs, duration and volume all contribute to the makeup of mainstream smoke

Statistically, the longer you use any form of tobacco product, the more likely you are to develop the cancers most common for that kind of product. That does not mean that occasional use is safe. For one thing, some people are more prone to developing cancers than others. There is much we do not know. If you are not yet addicted to nicotine, we would suggest not becoming so.

Smokers inhale 15% and the 85% Non-Smokers inhale

It is not possible to say how many smokers died specifically of smoking. Smoking is directly related to a number of fatal conditions, but it is difficult to point to any given one and say it was caused by smoking, with the exception of some degenerative lung diseases.

It is possible, however, to study large populations and compare the longevity and causes of death of smokers and non-smokers within the population. The following figures came from a study of more than 15,000 doctors in the United Kingdom, which followed them from 1951 to 2001, a period of 50 years.

The excess mortality associated with smoking chiefly involved vascular, neoplastic [tumors, both cancerous and benign], and respiratory diseases that can be caused by smoking.

Men born in 1900-1930 who smoked only cigarettes and continued smoking died on average about 10 years younger than lifelong non-smokers.

Cessation at age 60, 50, 40, or 30 years gained, respectively, about 3, 6, 9, or 10 years of life expectancy.

The excess mortality associated with cigarette smoking was less for men born in the 19th century and was greatest for men born in the 1920s.

The cigarette smoker versus non-smoker probabilities of dying in middle age (35-69) were 42% versus 24% (a twofold death rate ratio) for those born in 1900-1909, but were 43% versus 15% (a threefold death rate ratio) for those born in the 1920s.

At older ages, the cigarette smoker versus non-smoker probabilities of surviving from age 70 to 90 were 10% versus 12% at the death rates of the 1950s (that is, among men born around the 1870s) but were 7% versus 33% (again a threefold death rate ratio) at the death rates of the 1990s (that is, among men born around the 1910s).

These figures speak for themselves.

terribly, you get wrinkles, more stress. and when you are older you will honestlly look terrible. i highly recomend not to smoke

A cigarette company's agenda also includes profiting from the sale of cigarettes.

Nicorette 4mg is used for consumer who believe they need assistance in their goal of quitting to smoke. Nicorette 4mg is a gum that is supposed to suppress cigarette cravings and help one quit.

yes.

To protect everyone else from second hand smoke that was recirculated throughout the aircraft. It's a fire hazard, stinks up the air, makes people sick and makes the interior furnishings smell.

Tobacco is a versatile drug; it can be smoked, chewed, or snorted in the form of snuff. The gross thing about chewing tobacco (not counting the addictive and carcinogenic properties) is that you chew it and then spit it out, you don't swallow it. It is somewhat disgusting to see someone spit out a wad of brown gunk. In places where this happens a lot, people have (or used to have) a special container for people to spit into, called a spittoon.

Tobacco itself is not a drug. Tobacco contains nicotine, which naturally occurs in the leaves of the tobacco plant, which is a potent central nervous system stimulant. Nicotine is responsible for the addictive properties of smoking and tobacco products.

The pharmaceutical industry is currently researching the use of nicotine-based drugs to treat a range of conditions, ranging from obesity, dementia type disorders and psychotic disorders, and also for general pain relief.

As for nicotine being responsible for the addictive properties of smoking, the long term success rate of NRT (as low as 1.6%, as admitted by the pharmaceutical companies themselves) would strongly suggest otherwise.

No tobacco pipe is safe. Tobacco smoke contains poisons. Brass heats up and causes the tobacco to burn much hotter. We do not have information on what that does to the chemicals, but we suspect it is not a good thing.

If you must smoke, we would suggest sticking with more conventional materials.

There aren't any age requirements in the United States for purchasing condoms. In Georgia you can purchase condoms at virtually any age.

Have fun man!

It would depend on how long you had quit. If you had only recently quit, smoking would probably start your habit all over again. Other than that, it would have all the same effects it had before you had quit but since you already had smoked before, the effects would accumulate faster and probably become magnified.

Only about three days. However, the psychological effects of withdrawal will last a lot longer. Probably forever.

Definitely. Actually, I flew this spring to Russia and chewed on the plane, but if you're bringing it on the plane make sure it's in your carry on=) Good Luck
