Facts on Nicotine Addiction:
Nicotine is one of over 4,700 toxic chemicals* in a single cigarette.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, nicotine is one of
the most frequently used addictive drugs, resulting in over 440,000**
smoking-related deaths in the United States each year. Cigarettes are
easy to pick up, but quite difficult to put down. each year 35 million
people make a serious attempt to quit smoking and 90% of them never
achieve their goal***, because nicotine is so highly addictive.
Our lungs are lined with millions of sacs that can readily absorb nicotine.
Inhalation of nicotine through cigarette smoking is such an efficient
delivery system of this narcotic that it hits your brain within 7 seconds.
Nicotine, when first inhaled, briefly causes the smoker to feel awake
and alert, leading to a feeling of calmness and relaxation. This is
due to an elevation in endorphin levels. Endorphins are the body's natural
pain reducers and pleasure catalysts. The over-production and outpouring
are what leads to the rush that a smoker experiences. Once a smoking
habit is developed, more and more nicotine is needed to achieve the
same pleasurable feeling, thus leaving the smoker addicted.
