THE tobacco is responsible for cancers , of respiratory diseases and of cardiovascular diseases :
As it burns, the tobacco releases many toxic substances, including tars, which cause cancers . These include cancers of the larynx, bronchi and mouth which are directly attributable to the action of tobacco. For others cancers (digestive tract, bladder, urinary tract, kidney, esophagus, cervix), tobacco is a definite contributing factor. Overall, it is considered that more than 30% of all cancers depend on tobacco .
There nicotine acts on the nervous system, in an area of the brain called "reward", just as heroin does. It produces, a few seconds after inhaling cigarette smoke, sensations of pleasure that are difficult to resist, thus creating addiction.
Conversely, unpleasant sensations, called "lack", appear as soon as the brain is deprived of nicotine : the smoker becomes nervous and as soon as he finds a cigarette, he will vigorously inhale the smoke to quickly regain a sufficient level of nicotine in the blood (nicotinemia). This nicotine addiction explains the strategy of substitution treatment, allowing a smoker to break with the tobacco without experiencing the unpleasant effects of nicotine withdrawal.
