Introduction
Smoking and tobacco use pose a substantial public health burden in America, contributing to a myriad of preventable diseases and premature deaths.
Nicotine is a chemical that is released when tobacco is smoked.
It stimulates the release of dopamine, our brain's "feel-good" signals, creating a sense of pleasure and reinforcing the habit of smoking.
Prolonged nicotine exposure results in long-term brain changes, including addiction to tobacco and an increased susceptibility for addiction to other substances
Smoking, vaping, and tobacco use have impacts on the following levels:
Significance/ Scope of the Issue
The act of incorporating nicotine into one's routine puts a great effect on performance of specific tasks by regulating levels of arousal and mood control in daily life.
“Hedonic dysregulation, the feeling that there is little pleasure in life and that activities that were once rewarding seem no longer enjoyable, is seen with withdrawal from nicotine and from other drugs of abuse.”
These withdrawals produce intense feelings of irritability, restlessness, anxiety, increased appetite, various cancers, respiratory issues, and more mood disorders.

The American Medical Association attempted to ban all vape products but were denied due to the lack of information on this product that was created in 2003.
With rising numbers of deaths, health defects, and organism destruction, more information on vaping, cigarette use, and tobacco may be revealed.
With awareness, more might be done to help this exponentially growing public health problem.
It can be a big challenege for people to stop the use of any kind of smoking.
With awareness and outreach, we can offer support to those wanting to quit
Smoking is responsible for over 7 million deaths worldwide.
Tobacco use is responsible for a wide range of preventable illnesses, but nicotine stimulates the release of dopamine, which reinforces the addictive habit.
Extended exposure to nicotine causes irreversable changes to the brain's neurotransmitters, particularly the dopamine receptors.
Long-term nicotine use dramatically reduces the brain's dopamine release
The Global Tobacco Surveillance system is working to strengthen tobacco surveillance systems to monitor the tobacco use epidemic. In addition, they offer resources tobacco control programs.
The American Cancer Society holds an annual smoking-cessation event called "The Great American Smokeout" to encourage current smokers to quit and offer resources for support.
