What is TOBACCO?
Tobacco is a plant grown for its leaves, which are dried and fermented before being put in tobacco
products.
Nicotine acts in the brain by stimulating the adrenal glands to release the hormone epinephrine
(adrenaline) and by increasing levels of the chemical messenger dopamine.
Tobacco smoking can lead to lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema.
It increases the risk of heart disease, which can lead to stroke or heart attack.
Smoking has also been linked to other cancers, leukemia, cataracts, and pneumonia.
Smokeless tobacco increases the risk of cancer, especially mouth cancers.
Secondhand smoke can lead to lung cancer and heart disease as well as other health
effects in adults and children.
E-CIGARETTES
Electronic cigarettes are battery-operated devices that people use to inhale an aerosol, which
typically contains nicotine (though not always), flavorings, and other chemicals.
In many e-cigarettes, puffing activates the battery-powered heating device, which vaporizes
the liquid in the cartridge or reservoir.
The person then inhales the resulting aerosol or vapor (called vaping).
E-cigarettes are popular among teens. Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
regulations designed to protect the health of young Americans, minors can no longer buy e-
cigarettes in stores or online.
