Nicotine is often the start of the addiction journey; it slowly destroys the lungs and heart while serving as a constant trigger for other drug use.
The Gateway Habit
Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on earth. For many, it is the first substance they become dependent on, and it often remains a 'trigger' that leads back to more dangerous drugs during recovery.
Health Impact
- Lungs: Permanent damage (COPD) and the leading cause of lung cancer.
- Heart: Constricts blood vessels, leading to high blood pressure and strokes.
- Skin: Premature aging, yellowed teeth, and slow healing of wounds.
Cultural Danger
In our culture, smoking is often seen as 'normal', making it harder for addicts to stay clean from all substances. It is a constant reminder of the 'oral fixation' of addiction.
