I drive my bicycling group crazy when we stop for a rest and I light up. How ever my performance on the one hundred mile rides are better then theirs. I'm not saying we should encourage smoking, my mother and alot of her family has died from a genetic form of COPD and they all smoked up to the day they died, none lived past seventy. But I feel tobacco is a great stimulant. Like everything else should be used in moderation. I also believe it's not for everyone.

It's up to the individual to decide if it's a net positive or net negative.<br /><br />Since becoming a regular smoker, my erratic brain waves have become less erratic allowing for consistent deep sleep which is essential to feeling good the following day.<br /><br />For what it's worth, my epilepsy medicine got rid of my seizures but not my tossing and turning nights.

In less than ten seconds of your first puff, nicotine reaches your brain where it stimulates and releases chemical messengers like epinephrine and dopamine. These chemical messengers allows you to relax and calm. They also sharpens your brain and increases your alertness.Anderson Swedenhttp://forbjudrokning.se/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-10566319123907238032016-01-16T05:29:47.449-05:002016-01-16T05:29:47.449-05:00For those of you responding " I knew it, smok...For those of you responding " I knew it, smoking is good for me" or " are you mad, I'm a fitness instructor" etc read the article. Nicotine has benefits. The popular delivery system for nicotine is nasty. I love nicotine like I love caffeine. Fortunately you don't have to combust and inhale coffee beans to enjoy it. And you can deliver nicotine fast with an ENDS. And before you say nicotine is addictive look up the ASAM or WHO definition of addiction. I don't even think a drug can be addictive, as addiction is a biopsychosocial phenomenon. When I smoked I used a drug against my better judgement so I had an addiction to cigarettes enhanced by nicotine. I never got "addicted" to NRT nor to e cigarettes. Smoking cigarettes is dissonant to users' wishes about their behaviour, smokeless nicotine delivery, like caffeine, for the vast majority, isn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-2435248187372512992016-01-09T07:54:05.819-05:002016-01-09T07:54:05.819-05:00Nicotine can function as an imunosuppresant that h...Nicotine can function as an imunosuppresant that helps people with autoimmune disease like colitis.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12248224421891263705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-44806855390331278262015-05-24T17:27:27.407-04:002015-05-24T17:27:27.407-04:00There have been many people who find relief from s...There have been many people who find relief from symptoms of Celiac's disease through smoking/nicotine as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-35011721495449650382014-10-05T11:59:51.993-04:002014-10-05T11:59:51.993-04:00There most certainly are positive effects!

Many of the benefits are even greater for those with certain neurological diseases like ocd or adhd. <br /><br />The greatest benefit is protecting against Parkinson's disease. <br /><br />Many people that smoke have endured risk factors for Parkinsons like concussions, pesticides, workplace chemical exposure, vitamin D deficiency etc. That would be blue collar workers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-59817002330815529092013-12-04T15:42:41.442-05:002013-12-04T15:42:41.442-05:00There are NO positive effects to smoking.

Smoking is a sure way of getting a disease, cancer and killing yourself as form of slow suicide.

Alas , I have been chewing the Tim's for 15 years! I recently purchased an ecig, because I would really like to stop chewing the gum, because it is so expensive. I spend 6 to 700 a month on these. I am trying to determine if the ecigs are worse for you than the gum, and can't find an answer.

Would it stand to reason that the positive nicotine benefits can be administered via nicotine supplements instead of smoking? or is there other chemicals in cigarette smoke that enhances creative performance/memory/attention? Nicotine increases the release of dopamine and serotonin - a lack of dopamine or serotonin is a common cause of depression. <br /><br />The problem with smoking is the delivery system ie. smoke. Smoke from cigarettes is harmful and have been clinically tested to show an increase chance of developing cancer across the board.josef horhayhttp://www.acoosticzoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-90597655862102831702012-01-15T00:31:52.872-05:002012-01-15T00:31:52.872-05:00It is time!

It irks me that non-smokers look at me and think, and sometimes say, "idiot." Yes, I have an addiction. It happens to be one with positive benefits. Perhaps more positive than negative in the short-term and maybe in the long-term if I am lucky. If it did nothing and was worthless except for having to maintain the habit, I would most assuredly quit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
