What Bad Health Effects Does Nicotine Cause?
I know that nicotine is the addicting substance in tobacco. I smoke cigars occasionally but I have never smoked a cigarette. I have researched about cigars and I know that one cigar can have as much nicotine as a full pack of cigarettes. I want to know why this is considered a bad thing.
For the record, I know cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes. Please DO NOT simply quote a bunch of information from an anti-smoking website.

Nicotine damages your lungs, it clogs the small sacs in the lug that help hold oxogen before the blood get there, also it affects the brain and its development and function, it increases the amount of nicotine receptors in the brain, which causes the addiction, and takes up space that other brain cells could use.

because cigars have more nasty crud in them than cigarettes.
you know smoking is bad, so why do it?
it’s a bad thing because more nicotine = more addiction = more smoking = more nicotine and it goes on.
I wish you wouldn’t smoke.
my grandfather died of lung disease when I was 13 and I loved him a lot.
I even wrote an essay over him.
well anyways, hope you find your balance somewhere.
peace

Increases risk of lung disease–your choice to make as an adult, but it sure taxes the insurance system, making it unaffordable for many…..

“Nicotine was a problem in Bulgaria. But now its not. These are big achievements for this country, and the people of Bulgaria ought to be proud of the achievements that they have achieved.”

Lung cancer and many other bad diseases. If you want buy yourself a hookah. Set it up in your house and smoke it every time your home. I think its better the cigarettes. Try it out.

Nicotine is an addictive, cancer-causing agent. People who smoke are much more likely to get certain types of cancer than those who do not smoke, and that cancer can kill you.

actually I’ve heard, technically, there is a lesser chance of getting >lung< cancer from smoking just cigars, because one holds more smoke on the palate instead of inhaling as deeply
