Nicotinic receptors have nothing to do with nicotine from cigarettes. Nicotinic receptors are the receptors for acetylcholine (ACh). Nicotine from cigarettes are associated with the release of another neurotransmitter - dopamine. Dopamine is linked with the limbic system that delivers emotional award and addiction.

Ok, here's the deal...\n\nWhen you smoke, the nicotin and another substances that tobacco contains mingle with the chemistry of your lung cells, changing their functions and live processes.\n\nWhen you smoke frequently, the chemistry in your cells is so tampered with, that they start multiplying like mad, obstructing the healthy lung cells.\n\nThat´s lung cancer.\n\nOh, and when you smoke, the lung cells also start to die, beyond repair, reducing your capcity of breathe, wich also reduces your lifespan. I know that for a fact that my granny died of that :-((.

One chemical that is in tobacco is rat poisoning.. I know that seems kind of weird, but it is true.. this and other agents like the chemicals they use to process tobacco also causes you to have problems with your throat.

The main way it affects it is this.  Smoke particles block up the alvioli in the lungs and that is where the exchange of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood cells take place - the more are blocked, the less oxygen can get into the bloodstream and the less oxygen gets to the body's vital organs.  Cigarettes also contains tar which also blocks up the lungs and small traces of arsenic (a poison) which is stored by the body and builds up over a period of time.  As to diseases:\n\nAsthma, Emphysema, permanently stained teeth and fingers, Gingivitis, Gangrene, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute myeloid leukemia and cancers of the cervix, kidney, pancreas and stomach; abdominal aortic aneurysm, chronic bronchitis, cataracts, periodontitis and pneumonia, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer or erectile disfunction, increased chances of getting breast cancer, cancer of the bladder, eosophagus, larynx, lung, mouth, throat, linked to chronic lung disease, chronic heart and cardiovascular disease as well as reproductive problems. Expect to die 10 to 15 years earlier than non-smokers. \n\nHope that helps.

here is a wonderful website informing of all the ingredients found in cigarettes.  Some people don't believe that they actually put this stuff in cigarettes, but as a college student in health science, I can assure you they are ingredients.

Of course there are cigarettes without nicotine, and they can be made easily.  Nicotine is the most addictive substance PUT in cigarettes by the tobacco companies to keep you hooked on them.  Why would cigarette companies eliminate this chemical?\n\nQuestion for you smokers trying to quit:  Have you noticed that it is currently harder to quit smoking than it was 15 years ago?  That's because more nicotine is added.  As a smoker, I wish that cigarettes were illegal.

CIGARETTES-\n\nIt does not have any plus point, all are only minus point only. It does not relive any stress. It is only a MAYA (Illusion) and makes people addicted to that without any intoxication even. Only regular smokers feel stressed with out smoking. They also feel depressed when they try to stop smoking. \n\nTobacco smoke contains nicotine, an addictive stimulant which temporarily improves alertness and memory, but also forms a strong physical and psychological chemical dependence (addiction). Medical research has determined that smoking is a major contributing factor towards many health problems, particularly lung cancer (which has a survival percentage of 16.4%), emphysema, and cardiovascular disease.  Many countries regulate or restrict tobacco sales and advertising and require warnings be placed prominently on the product packaging. Many municipalities now ban smoking in a variety of public venues due to health impacts on non-smokers breathing second-hand smoke.\n\nSmoking leads to various cronic and uncurable disease like CANCER, Heart and Lung diseases etc.etc.

Nicotine, and it is extremely addictive.  It is also one of the strongest insecticides known to man.  It is a POISON.

Marijuanna contains more tar than cigarettes. I believe smoking a joint is somewhere around smoking 3 cigarettes. (This is off of memory from a speach I did in high school, so don't quote me).\n\nCigarettes on the other hand ALSO contain chemicals such as Benzine, Acetolyne, Formaldahyde, and tons of other poisons.\n\nSince most people smoke less joints per day than cigarettes, it is probably the safer option. Definetly if you are in Canada and don't need to worry about being caught.

cotton, tobacco, opium, just to name a few. But do some of your own research! :-)
