Tobacco comes from the leaves of the tobacco plant. It contains a drug called
nicotine which is highly addictive. It's nicotine that gives smokers their
'hit'.
ID: Fags, rollies, smokes, ciggies
The leaves of the tobacco plant are dried then rubbed to produce a brown, flaky
mixture. It can be bought loose like this as rolling tobacco or in ready-made
cigarettes. Tobacco is most often smoked but some people chew it.
The cost depends on the scale of a smoker's habit. As a guide, smoking 20 a day
for five years will cost £8000.
Tobacco contains over 400 chemicals. Many of them are known to do nasty things
to the human body.
Smoking any drug gets it to the brain quickly. When a smoker inhales, the
nicotine reaches the brain in around 8 seconds. Regular smokers say it helps
them relax, feel less hungry and feel better.
Nicotine speeds up the heart rate and increases blood pressure.
First time smokers often feel sick and dizzy.
Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. Smokers can get hooked very quickly and it
can take years and a huge effort to kick the habit. Not many people are able to
remain occasional smokers.
For friendly and practical advice on giving up smoking call the NHS Smoking

Smokers are more likely to get coughs and chest infections.
Long-term addiction could leave you with cancer, emphysema or heart disease.
Smoking has been linked to the amputation of 2000 limbs a year.
It's estimated smoking contributes to 120,000 premature deaths in the UK every
year.
Other people breathing in your smoke could end up with breathing difficulties,
asthma or even cancer.
It's illegal for shopkeepers to sell tobacco or tobacco products to anyone under
16.

Why this stuff is getting spewed over to alt.health.diabetes is irrelevant,
but it's rapidly approaching spam levels.
If we wanted to read about spam, we'd hop over to your newsgroup. Please go
away.
