A lot of. And none of that is good. For example, nicotine in cigarettes is the substance that your body becomes addicted to. This addictive process takes place in the brain. By inhaling cigarette smoke, nicotine passes through the lungs and attaches itself to the 'nicotine receptors'. When this happens, these receptors release 'dopamine'. Dopamine is a 'happy substance'. It gives us a relaxed and pleasant feeling.

This also releases dopamine when we see our loved ones, love, eat and drink, but also when we use alcohol or 🤬. Our brains want to regain this happy feeling again and again. In the case of smoking or other substance use, this can lead to addiction]]> 2018-03-05 10:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/demyan02/p8uktzqb98io/wish/238006693 demyan02 https://padlet.com/demyan02/p8uktzqb98io/wish/239325893 Tar is a sticky brown substance in its condensate form. While some tar stays permanently in the lungs, other tar is coughed up or exhaled while smoking. Lung cells tend to die when the lungs absorb tar. Cigarette smoke destroys or paralyzes the cilia, which are tiny hairs lining the upper airways and protecting the body from infection. When the cilia get damaged, tar penetrates the lungs and causes more damage. Immediate health effects caused by tar include shortness of breath and coughing. Smoking leads to more serious complications, such as emphysema.]]> 2018-03-07 18:35:36 UTC https://padlet.com/demyan02/p8uktzqb98io/wish/239325893 demyan02 https://padlet.com/demyan02/p8uktzqb98io/wish/239329983 Carbon monoxide: is released during combustion. This is not in the cigarette itself, but in the smoke you breathe. It is a colorless and odorless toxic gas that binds 200 times as strongly as oxygen to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells. In this way it displaces the oxygen in the blood. It comes occasionally in the news when a family is unconsciously taken up by a badly ventilated gas stove, resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning. The combination of nicotine and carbon monoxide greatly increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Also, multiple-boners more often have heart attacks because of second-hand smoke.]]> 2018-03-07 18:41:53 UTC https://padlet.com/demyan02/p8uktzqb98io/wish/239329983 demyan02 https://padlet.com/demyan02/p8uktzqb98io/wish/239333931 2018-03-07 18:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/demyan02/p8uktzqb98io/wish/239333931 demyan02 https://padlet.com/demyan02/p8uktzqb98io/wish/239339477 Ammonia: causes the nicotine to enter the brain even faster. Ammonia can also be added during the growth of the tobacco plant and during the production process. In the past it was already discovered that by peeing over the raw tobacco a quicker kick came, because in the urine are similar substances. Ammonia is also used in explosives and disinfectants.
