Prime Health Channel wrote:The metabolites of nicotine that gets accumulated in the body fluids are nicotine isomethonium ion, nicotine glucuronide, nornicotine, nicotine N’-oxide, 2-hydroxynicotine and cotinine. Among these cotinine is the major metabolite affecting the body by giving rise to unpleasant withdrawal symptoms which make it the hardest of addictions to get rid of. Usually a cigarette is found to contain around 1 mg of nicotine which means that just a pack of cigarette contains around 20 mg of nicotine, enough to cause great harm to the body of a chain smoker by its excess accumulation. The most common symptoms of nicotine addiction are depression, gain of weight, impatience, irritation, slow rate of heart beat, difficulty in concentration, hostile attitude and anxiety. However, there are several ways as to detect nicotine in the body.
Up in Smoke – Unhealthy Soccer Greats
(above – the Brazilian legend, Socrates – three packs a day)
Bad medical news out of Brazil today – eighties-era Brazil legend, Socrates, is on life support. This gifted man, once the elegant dictator of midfield, now seemingly under the heel of the demon drink. Years of boozing sprung leaks inside his intestines, septicemia. Socrates is a rare breed in soccer – an intellectual educated to a higher level, a practicing medical doctor. Reports had him smoking three packs a day during his wonderful playing career.
Puffing players and coaches are rarely seen today, health being the proper ticket. During Wayne Rooney’s hooker scandal last year, the ensuing tabloid inquisition reported the England ace tipping a hotel bellman $300 to procure the cheating heart a pack of Marlboro, after a hard night’s bonking. The darkest shadow on the lung of soccer’s smokers belonged to Cesar Menotti (below), the legendary Argentine coach who dragged the nation to World Cup glory in 1978. It was a grim time in junta-ruled Argentina, innocent people “disappeared.” Menotti’s head often vanished in a cloud of tobacco, his body photographed in the dugout, thin as a rake. A trifle nervous, he knew the Generals would settle for nothing less than gold. Occasionally, his wizened head would appear from the fog, to light another cigarette.
Four years after Menotti’s Argentina stubbed out the competition, legendary Italian boss, Enzo Bearzot, smoked his way to World Cup triumph in Spain, as his tough Italian squad hacked their way to victory. Smoking seemed to be the spark for coaching success. But losers were to come – Ricardo Lavolpe, the Mexico coach in World Cup 2006, smoked an acre of tobacco before halftime but it was not enough to spark victory for El Tri. Diego Maradona was often seen chugging on a Monte from Cuba but his national coaching ambitions went up the chimney after the 2010 World Cup.
Perhaps, the anxious soccer coach or player should follow Manchester United’s, Sir Alex Ferguson, who avoids puffing by chewing gum with a smack that can be heard throughout the stadium. No doubt his powerful facial muscles add to the animation when he empties a lungful of anger at a poorly performing player. And with Fergie’s lungs robustly free from the ravages of baccy, the scream is likely to be as loud as his chewing gum smack, about the head.
(Tactics genius, Menotti, lights up)

Smoking
Smoking any drug is unhealthy, and cannabis is no exception. Cannabis smoke actually contains higher concentrations of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) than tobacco smoke. Cannabis smokers generally inhale more smoke for longer, depositing more than 4 times as much tar in their lungs as those who smoke cigarettes. To balance this, they smoke fewer joints and smoke less often.
Combining cannabis and tobacco is even worse. If you are a heavy smoker of cannabis and tobacco joints (more than 10 a day), you are significantly increasing your risk of developing lung disease. Recent studies show that the greatest pre-cancerous abnormalities appear in those who smoke the two drugs together.
Another important factor is that most cannabis smokers stop when they reach their 30s. Long term surveys of cigarette smokers showed that those who stop before the age of 35 had only a very slightly increased risk of lung cancer. The same may apply to cannabis.
