Smokers have proposed a new way to get rid of dependence
Smoking cigarettes with a gradual lowering of the content of nicotine helped save smokers from nicotine addiction without resorting to drastic abandonment of tobacco. For several weeks during clinical trials twenty-healthy smokers smoked cigarettes instead of the usual ones that offered them doctors. In these cigarette nicotine content decreased gradually.
As Neil Benovittsa study, by the end of the experiment test were free to return to their normal cigarette, and most of them have done well. But a month later, these people smoking at 40% less than normal. In addition, a quarter of test has been able to completely abandon this pernicious habit even during the test.
The use of cigarettes with reduced-nicotine content produced by tobacco companies, failed to yield such a result for several reasons. Tobacco companies do not reduce nicotine content in the “light” cigarettes. Instead, they learned to make cigarettes with greater speed combustion. In addition, the manufacture of paper and apply vysokoporistaya vents at the edges of the filter. These measures are aimed at reducing the number of nicotine entering the lungs rights. In fact, this effect is not achieved from smoking, as nothing prevents a smoker to make more frequent and profound delays.
Indeed, the new cigarettes contain less nicotine in itself. In addition, the scientists showed that in the course of the experiment, and its completion smokers exposed to the effects of a smaller carbon monoxide and other carcinogens.
Congress is considering a law under which the tobacco companies will be required to produce new, really light cigarettes. According to the scientists, this would substantially reduce the level of nicotine addiction among smokers, and help many people so easily give up smoking. This applies especially to frivolous young people, often falling under the domination of nicotine addiction since childhood, and not nahodyaschih the strength to cope with it later in life.
