Compliment of the season to all of us here. Good day❤️

It's been a while since I made an article here but, few days back while I was going down the lane towards my school road, I saw a picture of a cigarette box. I think it was empty although, I didn't try to touch the packet as I was on the road. Meanwhile, I didn't hesitate to take a photograph of the packet because of the message it passed to the consumers of such product here in Nigeria. I don't know of other countries, whether such is being allowed to be consumed by their citizens. This triggered my passion for writing once again. So I came up with some important message to pass across today. Let's go down the lane of the lessons I have for us today.

An Insight On Nicotine

Generally, we perceive nicotine as substances or a substance that tends to Increase physiological actions in the body. It is also seen as a drug stimulant the enables fast passage or transportation of messages in brain of the body(mainly human). Nicotine is user to make and produce cigarettes such we referred to as ; darts,durries,smokes,ciggies etcetera. Nicotine I'm cigarettes are using smoked and inhaled through the nasal cavity (nose).

Methods Of Smoking Or Inhaling Nicotine Through Cigarettes

Nicotine is not normal to the body no matter how fine and sweet the smell seems to be. It s always advisable to know what to do and as well as move away whenever you sees someone smoking... The following are methods of smoking it.

(a). Direct Intake through the nose(Active smoking).

It's as simple as the name implies. It involves smoking through the nose. Haven't done it but I think one takes in the puff in the ciga inside his nose and it passes down to the heart and then he blows it out as smoke🙄. There are others mean or type of tobacco, we have both dry tobacco, chewing tobacco etc

(b). Indirect Intake (passive smoking).

Smokers says that this is the worst form of smoking because it's more dangerous to the inhaler than the taker. What do I mean? It mean that he the receiver inhales(a toxic gas and carbon monoxide) without blowing it out while the take blows smokes out. Hence, we say that passive smoking is the breathing of smokes from people's smoke (ing). This is why it's nit advisable to smoke near babies or paralysed.
