They so are good, young, free and happy - people from posters of advertising of cigarettes. Also it is somehow believed that their healthy complexion, cheerfulness and a wonderful landscape behind the back - thanks to this small pack in the foreground. Smoking can be fine? We облазили a heap of sites, have interrogated tens people and have collected extended and not so opinions. Why we smoke and we do not wish to refuse this habit?
1. «Weakens, calms, distracts from problems»
Perhaps, the most popular opinion: «When it seems that all against you, the cigarette helps to find peace of mind».
- Actually smoking it is faster a conditioned reflex, an atavism, replacement of an oral syndrome, - our expert speaks, to. M. н., psychotherapist Dmitry Klevtsov. - recourse of mental development of the person As a matter of fact is faster. If the baby, having got agitated, demands a parent breast the smoker catches at a cigarette. It turns out that the person mentally незрел, cannot in other ways be protected from stress.
Therefore psychologists first of all try to understand the deep reasons of that the person cannot refuse tobacco.
- At smoking there is a double dependence - nicotinic and psychological, - the professor, expert in narcology Alexander МАГАЛИФ makes comments. - And if from nicotinic it is possible to get rid in a week from psychological it is much more difficult. The person does not have not enough those habitual actions - to leave an office on a smoke break, to get a cigarette, the fulfilled movement to light … And when it is not present, there is an anxiety, alarm from loss of the necessary ritual. In that case would advise to have a drink usual lungs soothing. Well and to try replaceable therapy - sugar candies, a cud and so forth hypnosis or other means of psychotherapy can help With hard cases.
2. «I am afraid to grow fat»
«I smoke many years and I think, if I will throw, I will start to grow stout. Heard that nicotine participates in a metabolism. And when it disappears, the organism starts to fill shortage with the strengthened accumulation of fats».
- No, nicotine is not connected in any way with process жирообразования in an organism, - speaks to. M. н., the dietitian Marina КОПЫТЬКО. - More likely I would connect a cigarette with boredom or desire of a break. That is, when it is necessary to have a rest or distract, the smoker starts to pitch. And that who has thrown, most easier, of course, to eat. Therefore, not to grow fat after you have thrown, enough to find other employment - for example, to walk for a short while or simply to have a drink green to tea.
3. «Helps to think»
Opinion: «When the head becomes similar to a copper in which thoughts hardly find room, there is nothing better a cigarette. Ideas find volume, find a new campaign to a problem faster».
- The cigarette helps not to concentrate, and to brake nervous impulses, - does not agree to. M. н., doctor-neurologist Victor КОСС. - When the person gives up smoking, at it the impression is made that without a cigarette it cannot relax or concentrate. Because, on the one hand, substances from cigarettes brake nervous impulses, with another - stimulate brain cages a little. It seems that after a cigarette you became quiet and the thought "has gone" easier. But it is short-term effect. It is reached only at the expense of the first-second cigarette and for a short while. Further already there is a psychological dependence when we connect feeling of a relaxation with a cigarette or, on the contrary, concentration.
4. «For the company»
«If usually I do not smoke, but, it is necessary to gather with friends moreover to drink pair of liqueur glasses, and all light, my hand too reaches for a cigarette. Probably, it not so is bad, as though I smoked all time».
- Yes, such way is, of course, more safe, than constant smoking, - considers д. M. н., токсиколог Vladimir NECESSARY. Are so-called situational smokers at whom psychological dependence on cigarettes, than physical is faster. Smokers with the experience - the same addicts at whom after refusal of cigarettes uneasiness raises, рассредоточенность attention, can even jump up arterial pressure. Also working capacity is, of course, broken. At situational smokers of these symptoms is not present. Thus it is necessary to remember that nicotine as analogue natural нейромедиаторов enters an organism metabolism very quickly and as it is quickly deduced. And here pitches and other cancerogenic substances are deduced already much worse, and they cause all harmful changes in an organism. Therefore the more cigarettes you smoke in the company, the will longer get rid of consequences.
5. «Removes head and a toothache»
«When the tooth or a head starts to be ill, I smoke a cigarette, and it becomes easier. Probably, they remove spasms».
- Cigarettes possess weak vasoconstrictive effect, - Victor Koss confirms. - But so weak that it is notable only after the big break (not less than six hours between cigarettes). More likely it besides psychological distracting effect. Therefore in this case it is better to address to the doctor or at least to drink the anaesthetising.
Here such affairs, expensive smokers. And any doctor to you will by all means tell (bashfully having extinguished a sigarette) that harm from smoking unlike more than imaginary advantage.
BY THE WAY
That occurs, when we throw
In 8 hours after refusal of smoking the oxygen maintenance in blood raises to normal values.
Through 3 - 9 months breath function improves on 10 %.
In 5 years the risk of a heart attack of a myocardium is reduced in 2 times; in 10 years the risk of a cancer of lungs decreases in 2 times.
Any doctor has not confirmed that lungs for 100 percent will be cleared even later 10 years after you have given up smoking. Regeneration degree depends on many factors, including age. And the earlier it to make, the better.
ONLY THE FACTS
By smoking it is caused a minimum of 90 % of cases of a cancer of a lung, 15 - 20 % of cases of oncological diseases of other localisations, 75 % of cases of a chronic bronchitis and an emphysema and 25 % of death from cardiovascular diseases.
Smokers fall ill with a myocardium heart attack in 2 - 8 times more often, than non-smoking. Thus smokers in 3 - 4 times would be more often suddenly perish from an ischemic heart trouble against normal state of health.
95 % of smokers after the transferred heart attack of a myocardium throw at once.
In Moscow every second man and every fifth woman-doctor smoke.
It is more than 70 percent of young men (from 25 till 34 years) smoke.
According to Open institute of health, the CART and the World bank.
STILL OPINIONS
«Behind a cigarette, especially in the unfamiliar company, people converge fast, them something as though unites the general, let even a bad habit. And it is already easier to find common language and themes which are formed in smoke clubs.
Alexander ».
«I smoke because that there is nothing. Smoking replaces with itself non-realised possibilities. And still because to smoke a cigarette is a most simple way to meet the desires. Possibility without problems to indulge the weaknesses - being in dependence (physical or psychological) to satisfy its each time when you will want.
Илья ».
«Because the cigarette is only mine. Five minutes for itself. And anybody will not take away this time from me.
Anna ».
THE COMMENT OF THE EXPERT
Cigarette - a dialogue integral part
- Certainly, as well as any mentally active substance, cigarettes are the uniting factor, - Jury Magalif has told. - Many questions dare in smoking-rooms, people find even more the general interests. But it, perhaps, unique positive moment in smoking. If to forget about harm, to it put.
Count up, how many money in a year you spend for cigarettes by means of the calculator of the smoker.

British mortgage borrowers Obliged to report on the amounts spent on cigarettes
British banks are tightening rules for issuing mortgages, writes The Times. Now wishing to buy property in installments in addition to earnings certificates must complete a detailed questionnaire.
In particular, will need to indicate how much the borrower to spend on clothes, shoes, cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. Such a practice recommended by the state banks to financial service. Human rights activists unhappy with the invasion of privacy of citizens. It is also unclear, as will be verified truthfulness fill out the forms.

TOBACCO gradually loses the political influence
In city centre Rejli, all in several quarters from state legislative buildings, fashionable the new bar last month is opened.
It is called "Tobacco road". But all a bar is forbidden for smoking.
These days that a few irony is not a single instance. For smokers, and for the tobacco industry which has crucial importance for economy of the state throughout centuries, the landscape promptly varies.
"Our consumers, certainly, face a great number of final situations, whether it be social work situations or situations where they feel conveniently to smoke", Mor Pejn, representative Reynolds American has told incl.
Change of social viewings of smoking is accompanied by reduction of political support of the tobacco companies. Throughout many years, Reynolds and other large players of the tobacco house advantage in area of a policy Northern Carolina uses any. However 2009 forms to to be difficult year for tobacco products in the country the largest tobacco manufacturers of the state.
Here some of latest developments:
Last week legislators powerful in СС the House of Representatives has renewed the Push about a smoking interdiction at restaurants and workplaces in premises in Northern Carolina.
In НК the senate, another powerful legislators wish to raise taxes to cigarettes this year.
At federal level, Elizabeth Doul's former senator, the convinced supporter of the tobacco companies, has been replaced Senator Kej кагана, which last week have voted in favour of increase in the federal tax at tobacco to pay for medical insurance of children.
Northern Carolina politicians even more often assert that health hazards from smoking outweigh the important heritage state tobacco.
"I know that this state has rich history of cultivation of tobacco, and we love our farmers, and we respect them," the D-call has told the state to Republic Dzhennifer Vajs. But, she has added, "it is a question about health and safety of workers in our state".
Weiss meant an offered interdiction for smoking in workplaces in premises. The main author of the bill is to Hugh's Holliman Republic, D-Davidson, the worried cancer of lungs.
Two years ago the similar bill submitted Holliman only with small backlog in the House of Representatives. This year is expected, face from other rigid struggle. But even groups which resolutely oppose interdictions for smoking in the past, - such as НК Restaurant and Lodging Association - accept softer position this year.
Paul Stone, the president and the main chief executive of Association of restaurants, has told it considers that some type of an interdiction for smoking in Northern Carolina is inevitable.
As Holliman does it to achieve an interdiction for smoking, some other state legislators wish to lift the state taxes to cigarettes this year. The main thing is the supporter of senator Mark Basnight, head НК the senate which also wishes to lift taxes to alcohol.
Such increase in taxes will have insignificant influence on closing of budgetary deficiency of the state, but Basnight says that its principal cause for support conducts them not to increase of incomes, and in bottom public health services of the state-sanitary of expenses.
Despite these wide antitobacco efforts, the tobacco industry remains powerful, and continues to be the basic player in Northern Carolina a policy of election campaigns and lobbying of payments.
The senator Linda Garrou, D-Форсайт, protected the tobacco industry, last week. Garrou, the main lieutenant Basnight, almost always in the consent with it. But it opposes increases in taxes at cigarettes.
Garrou, whose district includes Vinston-Salem a staff Reynolds, says that the Congress is on the verge of increase of the federal tax to cigarettes. It is the tax which is supported кагана last week. Other senator of Northern Carolina, republican Richard Berr, opposes it.
"It will be difficult for us (government) for the purpose of increase of taxes, and" on the tobacco companies, Garrou has told: "If we are going to keep these fine corporate citizens, to keep workplaces and to hold money in our state".
Basnight has told that he understands position Garrou in opposite to increase taxes to state cigarettes.
And I too if I represented Winston-Salem, have told it.
Пейн, representative Reynolds, says that the company still considers that has good support in General Assembly, despite offers of this year.
"I think, in parliament to Northern Carolina there is very wide and deep understanding of importance of tobacco, both historically and economically, to the state, she has told.
But she also recognised that political conditions vary. More in detail legislators are ready to consider possibility of increase in taxes to cigarettes, she has told, and a number of other laws Northern Carolina, last years, smoking in places is forbidden, are so various, as prisons, adult old people's homes and the state government of cars.
"There are social shifts", tells Pejn.
"And our legislators, are a part of this society, as well as all the others".

Chesterfield to Russian smokers
Chesterfield brand was presented at the American market in 1912. It was unfiltered cigarettes. Successfully compete with other popular U.S. brands, until the end of 40ths Chesterfield was one of the best-selling cigarette brand in the United States. Chesterfield filtered out on the market only in 1965, when the filter cigarettes have seized more than half the U.S. market. Chesterfield cigarettes appeared on the Russian market in the early 90's. At that time, dealt with the sale of imported cigarettes. In 1994, the production of the brand began in St. Petersburg.
Cigarettes are positioned as a high quality unique brand cigarettes with flavor to achieve. This brand is particularly popular among consumers in the 20-30, most of them are citizens of large cities.
Chesterfield audience are people who approach life positively. They may find something special in every ordinary action and time, and it will be Spice of life. Refusal of a cliche, the standard trends, the desire to establish their own rules, personality and unconventional approach, all these factors are smoking Chesterfield separately from other consumers of cigarettes.
Originally Chesterfield brand advertising campaign was supported by Chesterfield-American classics, and it is no accident, this brand of cigarettes is almost ancient history. In 1998 began a campaign to change the brand and its adaptation to more demanding consumers Russian. For example, Chesterfield was the first brand of tobacco to the Russian market communication platform which is based on history rather than the brand itself, as the main component of cigarettes, as tobacco and his family. The main purpose of Chesterfield advertising campaign is the image of international cigarette brands, created for true connoisseurs of high-quality tobacco.

Inositol can prevent lung cancer to cigarette smoking
Smoking cigarettes and reading the news is very natural, two incompatible concepts. But Natural News readers are human beings after all, and thus not quite perfect. Moreover, even the most sophisticated raw foodist are probably aware, or even one who sometimes likes to puff. For them, research on the substance that appeared to reverse the health effects of smoking may have a ring of good news. Inositol, the connection is found in many foods, it seems to stop the threat of lung cancer from cigarettes dead in their tracks.
Inositol is a natural nutrient found in various forms, the most common of which is myo-inositol. Inositol is part of vitamin B complex group, although this is not officially recognized as one of the vitamins and the RDA has not been installed. As vitamins are soluble in water, and, consequently, not very well stored in the body. You must constantly be replaced in the diet, although about 4 grams per day is produced from glucose in the kidneys.
Inositol found in various foods such as nuts, seeds, oats, rice, beans, corn, Nut, liver, pork, veal, whole grains, cantaloupe, most citrus fruit, lecithin granules, as well as embryos of wheat. It is available as a supplement in capsule or powdered form. Jarrow Formulas makes a dry form that is easily available from online retailer of health. There are others. Inositol powder is a delicious sweet, creamy taste and is a fantastic addition to smoothies.
Two prominent researchers have found inositol prevents cancer
Dr. Lee Wattenberg, known as the father of Chemoprevention, searched for several decades starting in 1970, `S to find natural compounds that theoretically could prevent cancer and applied research on the methodology of his discoveries. After testing several molecules, he found inositol to have great potential. Using various research models he was able to prove that inositol can prevent lung cancer. It has been reported that malnutrition has increased the chances of cancer occurs, but Dr. Wattenberg was among the first to show that the total nutrient can actually prevent cancer, indeed the possibility of opening.
A few years after Dr. Wattenberg, Dr Abdul Kalam Shamsuddin, known as the father of IP6 (inositol hexaphosphate), also showed that inositol was able to prevent cancer, demonstrating the preventive value in conjunction with colon cancer. Research by Dr. Shamsuddin, that inositol affects health in several ways, mainly because it is in all cells of the human body, and is one of the main components of cell membranes or linings where it facilitates communication between different organelles and molecules in a process known as cell signaling.
Why Don `T cigarette companies out of the hands with a bottle of inositol each carton of cigarettes?
Some bright young singer of one of the largest tobacco companies, may have been an idea to increase sales by telling everyone that inositol, an inexpensive supplement to prevent lung cancer. But for the cigarette companies to buy the idea would be a recognition that cigarettes cause cancer. Such recognition would create a huge legal liability for any company to manufacture and sell cigarettes.
Inositol provides many other benefits in the body
Inositol is an essential nutrient for the growth of hair. This helps prevent the hardening of arteries and plays an important role in the formation of lecithin and the metabolism of fats and cholesterol. This helps remove fat from the liver. Inositol has a calming effect on the brain, and is successfully used at high doses in the treatment of mental disorders such as depression, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive and panic. Inositol is also used for insomnia, retinopathy, and nervous bulimia and binge eat. This is useful for diabetic neuropathy, brain cramps, as well as to normalize cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Symptoms of deficiency are atherosclerosis, constipation, hair loss, high blood cholesterol, irritability, mood fluctuations, and skin eruptions. Consumption of large quantities of caffeine, usually leads to inositol deficiency. As the consumption of coffee is often accompanied by cigarette smoking, the lack of inositol may have been a decisive factor in smoking-induced lung cancer, so prevalent at a time when smoking was in style.
Research continues to improve knowledge about the mechanisms by which inositol Works
As a natural compound, there is little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to research inositol. Natural compounds are not patentable. However, some researchers continue to examine the effects of inositol in an attempt to identify the specific mechanisms by which it prevents lung cancer in cigarette smokers. Here is a summary of the abstracts from the latest research. It is truly amazing, or perhaps a better word about the offender that smoking public was not aware of these results, which date from the time Dr. steadily. Watterberg and Shamsuddin.
The results of the study
In phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase-AKT path of becoming an important regulator of survival of tumor cells. Substances that hinder this way have great potential in treating cancer. In Biochemical Pharmacology, December 2008, the researchers report, myo-inositol related potentiating cell death. This effect correlated with down regulation of various gene products, which are intermediary cell survival, proliferation, metastasis and invasion, all known to be regulated by NF-kappaB. In the complex inositol blocked NF-kappaB activation induced by cigarette smoke.
Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and Prevention, August 2006, reported in clinical studies conducted to assess the safety of admissibility, the maximum tolerated dose, and the potential chemopreventive effects of myo-inositol in smokers with bronchial abnormal development of cells. Smokers between the ages of 40 and 74 attended the escalation of doses in the range of 12 to 30 grams a day of myo-inositol for one month to determine the maximum tolerated dose, which was 18 grams a day. Ten new subjects were enrolled to take the maximum tolerated dose for 3 months. Side effects in the present, were mild and mainly gastrointestinal nature. The significant reduction in the rate of abnormal cells are observed (91% compared to 48% in the control group). A significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure by an average of 10 mm Hg was observed after administration of 18 grams of inositol per day for a month or more.
Researchers reported that smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Nicotine has been shown to alter gene expression. In a study reported in the physiological Genomics, April, 2001, the researchers are trying to identify the various ways through which changes in gene expression was held. They found expression of more than 4000 genes in the human coronary artery endothelial cells and identified a number of nicotine-modulated genes coding for proteins involved in signal transduction or transcriptional regulation. Among those genes that regulate inositol phospholipids way.
Journal of Experimental Lung Research in December 2000, the mice undergoing whole-body exposure for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for 5 months in a mixture of cigarette sidestream smoke and principal, and then uses another 4 months in a controlled air environment to beat for lung tumors. In 7 independent experiments, the number of lung cancer has increased in each experiment, as well as increased incidence of lung tumors in 5 experiments. Several compounds were evaluated by their capacity for such tumors, but none of them reduce the incidence or multiplicity of lung tumors. Nevertheless, a mixture of dietary myo-inositol and dexamethasone (a synthetic steroid hormone that acts as an antiinflammatory and immune system suppressant) was effective in reducing the incidence and multiplicity of lung tumors as compared with control. That effect was also seen when the animals fed with myo-inolitol-dexamethasone mixture once they were removed from the smoke. The researchers concluded that people who recently quit may benefit from this complex.
Scientists have recognized that the chronic effects in mice and rats to cigarette smoke affects T-cell response, which may be due to reduced T-cell proliferation and T-dependent antibody responses in humans and animals exposed to cigarette smoke. In a study reported in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapy, April, 2000, the researchers tried to find a mechanism, in which tobacco smoke affects T cell function. They found that spleen cells from animals with chronic exposure to nicotine have depleted inositol stores and reduced ability to increase intracellular calcium. Their results indicate that smoking is a chronic T cell energy and the reduction of activity in violation of ways and inositol layer is stored as a result, decreased the amount of inositol-sensitive calcium.
Mice were fed a diet supplement myo-inositol, and exposed for 5 months in a mixture of sidestream and mainstream cigarette smoke, a study reported in the carcinogenesis, July, 1999. In animals fed the control diet alone, the average number of overt lung tumors 2.1. In the animal is given to the control diet plus inositol mixture, the number of overt lung tumors 1.0. Researchers concluded that the mixture is an effective prevention measure against the regime of initiation of tobacco-induced lung tumors.
In a study reported in the journal Immunology, April, 1996, as T and B lymphocytes in animals treated with chronic nicotine exhibited decreased ability to mobilize intracellular calcium and the inability to complete the cell cycle. Nicotine cells significantly lost their ability to manage inositol synthesis. This reaction continues for at least 2 weeks after nicotine treatment was discontinued. Researchers concluded that in vivo chronic nicotine exposure leads to T-cells, loss of energy and activity, and can lead to nicotine / cigarette smoke caused by the suppression of the immune system.

In a study reported in the physiological Genomics, April, 2001, the researchers are trying to identify the various ways through which changes in gene expression was held. They found expression of more than 4000 genes in the human coronary artery endothelial cells and identified a number of nicotine-modulated genes coding for proteins involved in signal transduction or transcriptional regulation. Among those genes that regulate inositol phospholipids way.
Journal of Experimental Lung Research in December 2000, the mice undergoing whole-body exposure for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for 5 months in a mixture of cigarette sidestream smoke and principal, and then uses another 4 months in a controlled air environment to beat for lung tumors. In 7 independent experiments, the number of lung cancer has increased in each experiment, as well as increased incidence of lung tumors in 5 experiments. Several compounds were evaluated by their capacity for such tumors, but none of them reduce the incidence or multiplicity of lung tumors. Nevertheless, a mixture of dietary myo-inositol and dexamethasone (a synthetic steroid hormone that acts as an antiinflammatory and immune system suppressant) was effective in reducing the incidence and multiplicity of lung tumors as compared with control. That effect was also seen when the animals fed with myo-inolitol-dexamethasone mixture once they were removed from the smoke. The researchers concluded that people who recently quit may benefit from this complex.
Scientists have recognized that the chronic effects in mice and rats to cigarette smoke affects T-cell response, which may be due to reduced T-cell proliferation and T-dependent antibody responses in humans and animals exposed to cigarette smoke. In a study reported in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapy, April, 2000, the researchers tried to find a mechanism, in which tobacco smoke affects T cell function. They found that spleen cells from animals with chronic exposure to nicotine have depleted inositol stores and reduced ability to increase intracellular calcium. Their results indicate that smoking is a chronic T cell energy and the reduction of activity in violation of ways and inositol layer is stored as a result, decreased the amount of inositol-sensitive calcium.
Mice were fed a diet supplement myo-inositol, and exposed for 5 months in a mixture of sidestream and mainstream cigarette smoke, a study reported in the carcinogenesis, July, 1999. In animals fed the control diet alone, the average number of overt lung tumors 2.1. In the animal is given to the control diet plus inositol mixture, the number of overt lung tumors 1.0. Researchers concluded that the mixture is an effective prevention measure against the regime of initiation of tobacco-induced lung tumors.
In a study reported in the journal Immunology, April, 1996, as T and B lymphocytes in animals treated with chronic nicotine exhibited decreased ability to mobilize intracellular calcium and the inability to complete the cell cycle. Nicotine cells significantly lost their ability to manage inositol synthesis. This reaction continues for at least 2 weeks after nicotine treatment was discontinued. Researchers concluded that in vivo chronic nicotine exposure leads to T-cells, loss of energy and activity, and can lead to nicotine / cigarette smoke caused by the suppression of the immune system.
