We find a relationship between hair color and nicotine dependence

American researchers claim that smoking habit depends on the color of hair and skin. What it is darker, the more a person is located to nicotine dependence.
American researchers from the University of Pennsylvania say that black and even dark-haired people are much easier to sit down on cigarettes than the blond. And, consequently, the disease associated with smoking, they found much more frequently and in more severe forms.
What is so special about the color of hair and skin, and why is it so affects our willpower? Doctors blame the pigment melanin, which gives a dark shade of our hair. It can be manufactured in the body naturally, or may appear after tanning. According to their research, the high level of this substance causes the person addicted to tobacco.
"We found that the concentration of melanin is directly related to the number of cigarettes that men smoked per day and the level of nicotine addiction and nicotine on the body" - quoted Medlinks study author Gary King.
According to one version, the biochemical composition of melanin is similar to the composition of nicotine. On the other hand, the pigment is able to bind with nicotine, because of what he accumulates in the body faster and longer rests in the tissues of the body. This, in turn, leads to a rapidly evolving and highly dependent, as well as more serious health consequences. So, if the blonde to "sit down", would have to smoke for a long time and regularly, dark enough to indulge - and give up cigarettes, he no longer able.
"People with more melanin prone to a certain type of use of nicotine - addiction - hence they are more likely to be encountered health problems that arise due to smoking - continues to King. - The dependence of these people may be more severe than people with fair skin.
In the course of his investigation the Americans have collected data on 150 black smokers. In the questionnaire participants indicated their normal cigarettes a day and answered questions about their degree of nicotine dependence. At the second stage, scientists measured the participants' level of substance cotinine. This product is nicotinic exchange in the body, by the presence and quantity of which is determined by nicotine addiction. Finally, these figures were compared with the level of melanin in the subjects.
However, until scientists make conclusions very carefully. The data obtained are in need of clarification and correction, we need follow-up study.
Studies conducted in different seasons and in different geographical areas, will help to eliminate the influence of seasonal factors, such as sunburn. In addition to the level of nicotine could potentially influence alcohol consumption, physical activity, diet, amount of fat tissue, the level of stress. "All these factors should be taken into account in future studies," - said King.

How I quit smoking without any books and lotions

I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for several years. Smoked before breakfast and after dinner. In the plane, in the car on the train.
At university I ran to the smoking room in the middle of the lecture. Hardly diploma course, I like scalded with boiling water, ran into the yard, not even sharing his impressions with tomivshimisya audience peer under the door.
And once on a business trip on a military airfield in Yakutia lit, sitting on a barrel of kerosene (I have no idea how to play with fire, because he did not know that there, in a barrel).
In the evenings, trying rubbed away with a piece of soap yellow plaque with fingers and zazhevat some way to the nasty feeling of kitty litter in his mouth, I wanted to leave a stupid habit. Even painted once on a sheet of graph paper, which will reduce the number of cigarettes per day. But with each new morning - again, click the Swedish lighters and a little lightheaded after the first delay.
Why could not I stop? Perhaps it was a pity to part with smoke, brightens up the working day. It's a whole ceremony! It is not helped any agreement with his friends "thrown together", or all sorts of substitutes for nicotine in abundance sold in pharmacies and stalls.
Each time, smoking herbal cigarettes without nicotine (the manufacturer said that so you can unlearn the drug, but with the psychological dependence is then the right), I spit it with the wild-loathing. Whether business - fighting throat strong "Gitanes" without the filter. Well, or at least regular Marlboros.
Penultimate my attempt to quit smoking - a fashionable book Alain Carr. I began reading and stopped at the 17 th page. And not because I was scared.
Simply become ... boring. I imagined that almost all 200 pages of just me and will brainwash and zombie ... Ugh, how disgusting.
If they do not help a magic book, so hopefully more than anyone. Month I was ready, chose to part with a cigarette the day before the long weekend, so do not be tempted to working smoking room. Said to himself: "I do not want!" ...
's All. Neither lomok, nor torment, nor Jora at night. Only eat candy at first, to reassure reflexes. But this habit a couple of weeks got rid of.
Since then, I do not smoke already 2,5 years. I know for sure: when the smoker justifies his habit or fear rastolstet that fears of a nervous breakdown, this man is deceiving in the first place itself.
In fact, quitting is easy. Do not need no book, no assistance to drug addiction, or a health warning, not even a smoker's throat pictures on the cover of a pack of cigarettes. One needs only desire. But when he is not - nothing will help.

Why Marlboro is ao popular?

Why Marlboro sell about 80% of cigarettes in the world? This is because the legendary cigarettes currently sold cheap? Well, there are several factors influencing the leadership of cigarettes Marlboro. First among them is the fact that the brand has identified himself in the American icon of masculinity, the cowboys. All their ads in the center of the brave heroics of those illustrious heroes of yesteryears. In contrast to using jeeps, Marlboro advertising use horses again represent originality for heroics and masculinity. Masculinity has another test is apparently missing in competing brands. Unmistakable hard taste, that is. This is another point for men identify themselves with manliness. Even the Marlboro Lights, of course, harder than most regular cigarettes. In addition, almost any fresh introduce smoking one who smokes Marlboro. LM.

Original Marlboro popularity has carried over to the current era of cheap cigarettes at discount prices, too. Most of all, tourism tax on cigarettes, besides driving smokers from the neighborhood store, successfully complete the sale Marlboro. It is interesting, but it's more interesting to know how it happened. We all know that online discount cheap cigarettes sell cigarettes tax-free, so even when ordered cigarettes shipped worldwide, the target price per unit (board) is still developing it will be cheaper than the preliminary price of higher taxes, especially in the States as the New - Jersey, Rhode Island, Washington, Arizona and Michigan, where growth was more than 200? per package. So what does it mean to the cheap cigarettes smokers? Now they can enjoy their brands at discount prices and can be switched to premium brands like Marlboro which is still available.

But you may ask, this should be really worked against Marlboro, but why not? So weigh the brand, where only the Premium brand to win the race. Generic brands wishing to ride a discount, cheap or free car tax-free race.

There it from another angle Marlboro's Popularity There are claims from health facilities and the volunteers that cigarettes, cheap and premium, has consistently increased the nicotine content in tobacco over the years from 1999 to 2005. Marlboro has, however, to keep the nicotine content throughout and the company has strongly protested and challenged the report on the matter and urged the Harvard School of Public Health analysis, which examined this issue in order to prove its veracity. Although unlikely to institutions increased nicotine theory the question arises why Marlboro should do so when they already existing strong brands of cigarettes.

Turkish Gold Cigarette

Turkish golds have got to be the best damn cigarettes every made. Simply because when Trukish golds first came out there were in the 2 for one deal, and here where I live smokes can run you upto 5.50 a pack. So I said hell yeah! I'll buy some turkish golds... Damn how surprised I was to find out that the turkish golds didn't actaully taste that bad. Kinda mild with a light flavoring that's slighltly sweet almost like a clove but not strong and made of tobbacco.

I guess my point here is not all cheep cigarettes taste like shit. But beyond that if you haven't had a smoke in a few years or were just begining to dislike the taste of cigarettes, try turkish golds... Hell tries them ever if you don't smoke.

Cigarettes in Turkey

Turkey, the land of cigarettes, pipes and hookahs, introduces smoking ban.

Anti tobacco law will be introduced in the country, where tobacco, cigarettes, pipes and hookahs are the life style attributes. According to the law, approved by the commission of legal procedures of Turkish parliament, smoking ban in public places all over the country will be introduced.

Squeezed between ancient habits and a great desire to conform to European standards, Turkish citizens take the new law as a revolution. Turkish people have always smoked a lot. People in Turkey smoke everywhere, in offices and hospitals, schools and taxi, in bars and cinemas. Even close to mosques the cigarettes smell is perceived. A lot of mustached men with cigarette may be met everywhere in his country.

However, the greater part of the population claimed that they are ready to give up to the ritual, following European laws, in order to enter European Union.

Turkey ranks fifth in world tobacco production and sixth in exports. Tobacco ranks sixth in terms of the total value of culture crops in Turkey.Turkey‘s tobacco exports generate US$ 500 million a year on average, or 2-3 per cent of its total export earnings. TEKEL (Turkish State Monopolies), which purchases the bulk of domestic tobacco output and also produces cigarettes, has a 3 per cent share of the GNP of Turkey at 1999 prices.

Cigarette production in Turkey started in the 19th century in small shops called atalye. The first cigarette factory was established in 1939, and produced hand-made non-filter cigarettes and packed tobaccos.

In 1983, Tekel started to import cigarettes with foreign brand names.

In 1984, the Turkish government allowed foreign tobacco companies to export their products to Turkey, while Tekel maintained the exclusive right to import, price and distribute domestic and foreign tobacco products. In 1991, other tobacco companies were allowed to price and distribute their own cigarettes in Turkey.

There are three basic types of cigarettes sold in Turkey: domestic filter cigarettes; domestic non-filter cigarettes; foreign brand cigarettes.

Turkish tobacco is the world's smoothest, most aromatic leaf. Blending it with more robust domestic tobaccos is the secret to Camel's distinctive flavor and world-class smoothness.A master-crafted blend of only the finest hand-picked Samsun & Izmir Turkish tobaccos with a robust domestic tobacco blend creates Camel's distinctive flavor and world-class smoothness.CAMEL cigarettes contain a blend of choice Turkish and American tobaccos to bring you full smoking satisfaction with CAMEL quality.The larger gauge of a Camel Wides cigarette makes for the smoothest, most flavorful way to enjoy Camel's distinctive blend of the finest Turkish and Domestic tobaccos.

The Turkish blend promotion does not refer to the fragrant dark tobacco cultivated in East Europe, particularly Turkey and Greece, but rather to the excellent Telestial promotion that works in each of these ancient lands. While we're on the subject of Turkish cigarette, let's take a closer look.

The finest Turkish tobacco is not actually grown in Turkey proper. It's the prized Yenice leaf developed in Macedonia in Greece. Mild Turkish tobacco is blended with stronger, fuller Virginia and Burley cigarettes to make a full-flavored, satisfying smoke.

Cigarette smoking is a passion among many Turks, a few of whom ignore the No Smoking signs in public buildings such as airports, railroad stations and theaters. For the most part, the people of Turkey forego cigars for the smooth flavor of a good Turkish cigarette.

Turkish cigarette is a geographical indication of cigarettes. Turkish tobacco is cultivated mostly in the Aegean and Black Sea regions of Turkey and throughout nations that were once a part of the Ottoman Empire, such as Greece and Bulgaria.

Turkish cigarettes have a much milder flavor and contain less nicotine and carcinogens than other varieties. In order to get the full flavor, it is mixed with more robust tobacco such as Virginia tobacco.
