Smoking and Body Weight: Is There Any Relation?
Abstract: Tobacco is a tall, green leafy plant, originally grown in South and Central America, but now cultivated throughout the world. The link between smoking and body weight is evident as early as adolescence. Nicotine acts on nicotinic cholinergic receptors in the brain and autonomic ganglia. The binding of nicotine to the nicotinic receptors opens ion channels, allowing entry of sodium and calcium, thereby; augment the release of various neurotransmitters. This …
