Smoking
Smoking is a very common habit, seen in most of the individuals... Do you know that SMOKING kills over 400,000 Americans each year ( as told by the site http://www.doctoryourself.com ).
Meaning: Smoking is a practice in which a substance, most commonly tobacco or cannabis, is burned and the smoke is tasted or inhaled ( www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking ).
Sources: cigarettes, pipes, cigars, bidis, hookahs, vaporizers and bongs.
Danger: The toxins from cigarette smoke can go everywhere the blood flows," said U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona, MD, MPH, FACS. ( http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/12369.php ).
What is Addiction? A smoking addiction means a person has formed an uncontrollable dependence on cigarettes to the point where stopping smoking would cause severe emotional, mental, or physical reactions.
Nicotine is the drug in tobacco that causes addiction. It is absorbed and enters the bloodstream, through the lungs when smoke is inhaled, and through the lining of the mouth (buccal mucosa) when tobacco is chewed or used as oral snuff or for non-inhaled pipe and cigar smoking.

Direct effects: Increase in the rate of heart beat, diminishes muscle gains from exercise due to lower levels of oxygen, feeling generally less energetic than a nonsmoker ( http://www.livestrong.com/article/380495-direct-effect-of-smoking-on-muscle-gains/ ).
Indirect effects: Heart Attacks, Strokes ( brain attack ), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Lung Cancer, Cancer of the Mouth etc. ( http://www.1sthealthinsurancequotes.com/long-term-health-effects-smoking.html )
Methods of prevention: Smoking is a 100% addictive habit. Eliminating the regular fix of nicotine will cause your body to experience physical withdrawal symptoms and cravings. To successfully quit smoking, you’ll need to address both the habit and the addiction by changing your behavior and dealing with nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
