Smoking means you take into your body the following poisons: In addition to tar, carbon monoxide is present (found also in car exhaust fumes), ammonia (used in floor cleaner) and arsenic (used in rat poison).
At least 40 of the chemicals in tobacco smoke are proven to cause cancers of the lung, throat, mouth, bladder and kidneys and the smoke also causes a number of other cancers.
There is no evidence at all that nicotine can cause cancer.

Nicotine stimulates the brain, improving the memory and the quality of information processing – scientists’ve been known about this fact for a long time. But only recently they’ve got the data that this nicotine’s property may be used for the treatment of many incurable illnesses. Doctor Harvey Checkoway from the University of Washington found out that the risk of Parkinson's disease is 70% lower when the person smokes, in contrast to nonsmokers. The similar data is received also as regards the Alzheimer's disease, the development rate of which reduces the intermediate product of nicotine decay – nornicotine. As for the scientists from the University of New-York, they’ve found out, that nicotine compensates cerebral activity defects during schizophrenia. It’s not a surprise that 88% of Americans, who suffer from this disease, smoke cigarettes, and they can be called heavy smokers, because they smoke one cigarette after another. Nicotine is extremely useful during different kinds of allergy. Affecting like antidepressant, it protects smokers from allergic pneumonia (farmer’s lung), hay fever and rash, relieves the course of ulcerative stomatitis and colitis. Also the smokers avoid inflammatory skin diseases. Such kind of illness as herpes is a rare disease among smokers. According to American scientists, nicotine neutralizes specific protein production and prevents organism from sepsis, acting as a mediator of nervous system – acetylcholine. Nevertheless, all this isn’t considered to be an appeal for smoking. “Beneficial effect above-mentioned can’t justify smoking, because the potential damage exceeds these benefits considerably", - doctor Baron writes. However, hasty anti-tobacco campaign, that is aimed to intimidate people with smoking hazard, can lead to the opposite result.
