What is nicotine

Are you aware that nicotine alone does not make cigarette smoke harmful.? It is a common assumption in the public that nicotine is the substance that makes cigarette smoking dangerous.

Apart from nicotine, other chemicals, including benzopyrene, benzene and tobacco-specific nitrosamine that are produced during smoking. These chemicals produced during the process of burning the cigarette are harmful. And are the primary causes of disease related to the habit of smoking.

Let’s understand nicotine in a much wider aspect –

Nicotine is the type of chemical that contains nitrogen. Nitrogen is found in several types of plants, and more abundantly in the tobacco plant. And yet, it can be produced synthetically as well. There are widely known facts about nicotine, especially that it is a sedative chemical present in tobacco. This is because when the user starts using the cigarette, the individual gets addicted to it which is partly caused by the nicotine that stimulates the adrenal glands to release adrenaline. This change in the body stimulates the body in several ways –

  • Change in breathing
  • Change in blood pressure
  • Increase in heart rate
  • Release of glucose
  • Insulin production by the pancreas, causing the increase in blood sugar level
  • Release of dopamine
  • And more importantly, changes in brain activities

Have you seen smokers getting out to smoke when they are stressed out? This is because the nicotine in the cigarette helps to release an increased level of beta-endorphin in the body, which in return helps to reduce anxiety.

All of these causes the smoker to experiences a pleasurable sensation. Smokers get addicted to smoking due to the presence of nicotine in the cigarette. When the same taste and they feel is provided to the smokers, in much safer alternative electronic devices, would it not be safe to quit the cigarette? The flavourful nicotine-containing e-cigarette lowers the levels of the harmful chemicals that are found in cigarette smoke.

A sudden change in the body when the smoker tries to quit smoking cause the withdrawal symptoms such as cravings, emptiness, anxiety, depression, irritation and difficulty focus on the work. The studies show that smoking is one of the hardest addictions that is hardest to quit. Hence, the tobacco industry claims that liquid nicotine is a less harmful alternative to cigarette smoking. The devices are electronically operated and are vaporizers,  commonly referred to as electronic nicotine delivery systems.

In these devices, the vapes atomise the liquid nicotine instead of burning it. Hence, it does not include the harmful oxidative effect like traditional smoking.  AS the nicotine in itself is not carcinogenic (cancer-causing), the researcher confirms it to be safer than cigarette boring.

The users do not have the tension of assembling the parts, filling or spillage of the e-liquid or charging the battery.
