Nicotine in inhaled tobacco smoke moves from the lungs into the bloodstream and up into the brain within seconds. Once there, it triggers a number of chemical reactions that create temporary short lived feelings of pleasure which subside leaving the smoker edgy, irritable and craving nicotine due to a drop in the blood stream of nicotine levels. In order to quit smoking successfully and for good you need a good support team, some education, the understanding of the nature of nicotine addiction and a great smoking cessation program. On the following pages you will see how Healthy Solutions By Laser will provide you with all of the tools necessary to make you successful at becoming a NON SMOKER.
When a smoker inhales cigarette smoke, the nicotine in the smoke is rapidly absorbed into the blood and starts affecting the brain. The result is the release of adrenaline, the "FIGHT OR FLIGHT" hormone. Physically, adrenaline increases in the heart which restricts blood flow to the heart and muscle. All of this makes the smoker experience rapid shallow breathing and the feeling of relief.
Adrenaline instructs the body to dump excess glucose to the bloodstream. Nicotine inhibits the release of insulin from the pancreas, which is the hormone responsible for removing excess sugar from a person's blood leaving the smoker in a slightly hyperglycemic condition, suppressing the appetite, which may be why smokers think cigarettes reduce hunger.
Nicotine activates the same reward pathways in the brain that other drugs of abuse such as cocaine or amphetamines do. As a matter of fact, without the right smoking cessation program, it is as hard to quit using nicotine as it is to quit using heroin. Nicotine increases the level of dopamine in the brain, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for feelings of pleasure and well being. The acute effects of nicotine diminish causing the smoker to continue dosing themselves throughout the day to maintain the pleasure effects of nicotine and to prevent withdrawal.
In addition to nicotine, cigarette smoke is composed of more than four thousand (4000) toxic chemicals and tar. The tar in cigarettes, which is as high as 22 mg, and the carbon monoxide (YES THE STUFF THAT COMES OUT OF AN EXHAUST FROM AUTOMOBILES) exposes smokers to increased risk of lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema and bronchial disorders (COPD). It can drastically cut down the success rate of full recovery after surgery and puts you at a higher risk for death under anesthesia. The EPA has concluded that second hand smoke causes lung cancer in adults and greatly increases the risk of respiratory illnesses in children. It has even been linked to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
