Nicotine Plasters
The majority of the smokers refuse to use nicotine plasters and chewing gum, supposing that it is very nicotine which leads to cancer, the Reuters informs. The error concerning such a method of nicotine dependence treatment impedes to give the smoking up to the majority of smokers.
Unexpected data were promulgated at the annual conference of the American College of Chest Physicians. The physicians interrogated 1139 smokers, 482 men and 567 women regarding their opinion on the nicotine influence on cancer diseases evolution. It turned out 72% of women and 59% of men think the nicotine leads to cancer, whereas it is proved long ago that such consequences are caused by the other agents, containing in the tobacco smoke: carcinogens, neurotoxins, and other poisonous substance.
Nicotine containing substitutes of the cigs are harmless and give a good chance to get rid of this pernicious habit. But persons with prejudices continue smoking, injuring their health greatly, Virginia Reichert, a researcher, says.
Moreover, 72% of women and 64% of men believe blindly the light cigarettes contain lesser quantity of nicotine and that is why the risk to develop cancer is lower smoking them.
But this is the matter of another article.
