If you: drink on an empty stomach; have a lower tolerance to alcohol; have a lower percentage of muscle on your body; are a young person; and don't generally consume alcohol, alcohol can effect you more quickly.]]> 2022-06-07 06:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/moritzwagner2008/i5mi72jhfmgm5ju4/wish/2213165239 moritzwagner2008 https://padlet.com/moritzwagner2008/i5mi72jhfmgm5ju4/wish/2213183456 Most people are aware of the effects of smoking on the lungs and heart, but very few are aware of the effects of nicotine on the brain. “Nicotine mimics several neurotransmitters, [which send signals] in the brain. [Since nicotine is] similar in shape to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, signaling increases in the brain,” 
explains Lori A. Russell-Chapin, PhD, professor at Bradley University's Online Masters of Counseling Program.
Nicotine also stimulates the release of dopamine, resulting in an euphoric sensation.
She explains that the brain gradually reduces the number of acetylcholine receptors to compensate for the increased signaling activity. Nicotine tolerance develops as a result, necessitating the usage of more nicotine in the future.
Nicotine also activates the pleasure centers of the brain, simulating dopamine, causing your brain to link nicotine use with happiness.
The nicotine in cigarettes alters your brain, leading to withdrawal symptoms when you try to quit, according to the National Institutes of Health. You may have a range of adverse effects as a result, including anxiety, irritation, and a strong desire to smoke.
Unfortunately, many people seek for another cigarette to alleviate the withdrawal symptoms when these symptoms occur.
Because your body is accustomed to having nicotine in your bloodstream, the changes that occur in the brain as a result of this cycle establish a dependence on nicotine, which can be difficult to overcome.
While nicotine's effects may take some time to manifest, harmful side effects to the heart and lungs are expected to be the first that a smoker would notice.]]> 2022-06-07 06:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/moritzwagner2008/i5mi72jhfmgm5ju4/wish/2213183456 moritzwagner2008 https://padlet.com/moritzwagner2008/i5mi72jhfmgm5ju4/wish/2213186795 Smoking causes disease and impairment, as well as harm to nearly all of the body's organs.
Upwards of 16 million Americans suffer from an illness brought on by smoking. At least 30 people live with a major smoking-related illness for every person who dies as a result of smoking. Cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, are all diseases caused by smoking. Smoking also raises the chance of tuberculosis, some eye illnesses, and immune system problems, such as rheumatoid arthritis.


Each year, secondhand smoke causes roughly 41,000 fatalities in nonsmoking grownups and 400 deaths in infants. Adults who are exposed to secondhand smoke are at risk for stroke, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease. Children who are being exposed to passive smoking are at a higher risk of developing lung cancer, sudden infant death syndrome, acute respiratory infections, middle ear disorders, more severe asthma, respiratory symptoms, and slower lung growth.]]> 2022-06-07 06:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/moritzwagner2008/i5mi72jhfmgm5ju4/wish/2213186795 moritzwagner2008 https://padlet.com/moritzwagner2008/i5mi72jhfmgm5ju4/wish/2219848515 Headaches, severe dehydration, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and indigestion are all symptoms of heavy drinking.

Short-term effects of heroin include a rush of good feelings and clouded thinking. These effects can last for a few hours, and during this time people feel drowsy, and their heart rate and breathing slow down. When the drug wears off, people experience a depressed mood and often crave the drug to regain the good feelings.

Regular heroin use changes the functioning of the brain. Using heroin repeatedly can result in:

tolerance: more of the drug is needed to achieve the same “high”dependence: the need to continue use of the drug to avoid withdrawal symptomsaddiction: a devastating brain disease where, without proper treatment, people have trouble stopping using drugs even when they really want to and even after it causes terrible consequences to their health and other parts of their lives. Because of changes to how the brain functions after repeated drug use, people that are addicted crave the drug just to feel “normal.”

Influences on body

Short-term

dry mouth, warm flushing skin, heavy feeling arms and legs, feeling sick to the stomach and throwing up, severe itching, clouded thinking, a temporary feeling of intense happiness, going "on the nod," switching back and forth between being conscious and semi-conscious, increased risk of HIV and hepatitis (a liver disease) through shared needles and poor judgment while “high” leading to other risky behaviors. 

Long-term
