Nicotine
It is the addictive substance in tobacco.
It is an extremely fast-acting drug. It reaches the brain within 10-15 seconds of being inhaled.
A teen’s brain is still developing, which can make teens more vulnerable to becoming addicted.
Nicotine is found naturally in some plants but is also manufactured.

Carbon Monoxide This is a poisonous gas that has
no smell or taste. The body finds it hard to
differentiate carbon monoxide from oxygen so it absorbs it into the bloodstream blocking the oxygen from getting in and making it hard to breathe.
It is also found in auto exhaust.

A sticky substance that forms when tobacco burns, and gets into the lungs of people who smoke.
When a smoker inhales cigarette smoke, 70% of the tar remains in the lungs.

How can using tobacco affect your immune system?
Chemicals in smoke reduce the activity of the
immune system so you are more likely to get
sick. The longer you smoke,
the more damage is being done to the
immune system increasing your chances
of suffering from diseases such as cancer.

Long-term use of tobacco could lead to:Addiction- physically and mentally
needing tobaccoBronchitis- inflammation of the bronchial
tubesEmphysema- loss of elasticity in the lungs,
making it difficult to inhale and exhale Cancer- cancerous cells replicate and
spreadHeart and Artery DiseasesEarly death- those who smoke die, on
average, at least 10 years younger than non-smokers

Effects of smoke on the non-smokerSIDESTREAM SMOKE - Smoke from the burning end of the cigarette
MAINSTREAM SMOKE - Smoke that is inhaled through a tobacco product and exhaled by a tobacco smoker
SECONDHAND SMOKE - Combination of exhaled mainstream smoke and side stream smoke• The deadly content of cigarette smoke
affects everyone exposed to the smoke.• For every 8 people killed by their own
smoke, a non-smoker is killed by being exposed to secondhand smoke.

Some of the ways to quit smoking:
Cold Turkey – just stop
Nicotine supplements (gum & patches) – release nicotine into the body through the skin; the body gradually weans itself off the nicotine
Acupuncture – reduces cravings and alleviates withdrawal symptoms

Benefits to Quitting: how does the body recover?12 hours after quitting
The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal2 weeks to 3 months after quitting
Your circulation improves and your lung function increases.1 to 9 months after quitting
Coughing and shortness of breath decrease; cilia (tiny hair-like structures that move mucus out of the lungs) start to regain normal
function in the lungs, increasing the ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce the risk of infection.
1 year after quittingThe excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a continuing
smoker’s.5 years after quitting
Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, and bladder are cut in half. Cervical cancer risk falls to that of a non-smoker. Stroke risk
can fall to that of a non-smoker after 2-5 years.10 years after quitting
The risk of dying from lung cancer is about half that of a person who is still smoking. The risk of cancer of the larynx (voice box) and
pancreas decreases.15 years after quitting
The risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker’s.

How they work: How do E-cigs work?
•The user inhales through a mouthpiece.
•Air flow triggers a sensor that switches on a battery- powered heater.
•The heater vaporizes liquid nicotine in a small cartridge.
•The user gets a puff of hot vapor (containing chemicals to create the appearance of smoke) that feels a lot like tobacco smoke.
•When the user exhales, there is a cloud of vapor that looks like smoke. 7/25/2015

Good• Allows users to stop
inhaling the tar in regular cigarettes.
• Provides enhanced smoking sensation, allowing users to smoke less but feel the same effects.
• For smokers who want to quit, may help people quit through “nicotine free” or “light nicotine” options.
Bad• E-Cigs are currently
unregulated, meaning there is no law forcing manufacturers to disclose what other chemicals you are actually inhaling.
• Liquid nicotine is the most potent form of nicotine and can even be lethal if ingested.
• Young people are attempting to bypass the vapor and drink the liquid nicotine with deadly consequences.

From 2011 – 2013 the number of non-smoking youth who used an e-cig increased three times. Why do
you think is?• Exposure to ads• Ease of access• Candy and fruit-flavored products• Products are easy to use
Many of the ads for E-cigs are very similar to cigarette ads.
