What is it?

Tobacco is the dried, shredded and processed leaves from the tobacco plant. It comes in ready made cigarettes, rolling tobacco and cigars. It is usually smoked. Some people chew tobacco leaves.

The main addictive ingredient in tobacco is nicotine. According to Talk To Frank, tobacco smoke contains over 4000 chemicals and some are very poisonous. When you take a drag (inhale) on a cigarette , the nicotine kicks in about eight seconds later. People who smoke report pleasurable feelings and feeling slightly more relaxed than before.
 

What are the health effects?

The nicotine found in all tobacco contributes to it being a highly addictive drug. Some experts have ranked nicotine amongst some of the most addictive substances alongside heroin and cocaine.

If you find you can't manage without a cigarette but want to give up, you can get help through your GP.

Set a date for stopping and stop with a friend if you can. You should quit totally on your set day. Giving up smoking may make you feel tired, irritable and a bit depressed - these feelings will pass.

If you don't succeed the first time, keep trying. Most people have more than one attempt at giving up before they manage it so try again. When you don't have a cigarette...

  • After 20 minutes your pulse return to normal.
  • After 24 hours your lungs start to clear.
  • After two days your body is nicotine-free and your sense of taste and smell improve.
  • After three days you can breathe more easily, and your energy increases.
  • After two to 12 weeks, your circulation improves.
  • After three to nine months coughs, wheezing and breathing improves.
  • After one year your heart attack risk is half that of a smoker.

Long term smoking can lead to lung and heart disease as well as cancer.
 

The law

Tobacco is legal. Smoking has been banned in public places in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It's illegal to sell cigarettes, tobacco or cigarette papers to anyone under 18.
