A Cigarette for Beginners, trigger Effective Dependence

Enough just trying to suck just a single cigarette, it proved to be a dangerous thing for those who are not smokers, far different from what people have thought this over. Scientists have found that the first cigarette smoked by a person gives 'impetus of the effect of dependence,' and adding someone of vulnerability during the period of three years or more to become a smoker.

"So far we know that the development process from the experiences of a single cigarette sucking first, so being a smoker can pass through time for several years," said Jennifer Fidler of University College London. "But for the first time, we found evidence that there is a period where there" Dependence founder effect "or the" vulnerability to nicotine dependence, "which may take several years counted from the first person smoking cigarettes, until in the end made himself a heavy smoker . "

Fidler and his co-researchers, analyzing the impact of smoking the first of more than two thousand children in the age range of 11 to 16 years for five consecutive years. Of 260 children who have the experience of their first smoking cigarettes at age 11 years, 18% of whom had become heavy smokers at the time they reach the age of 14. But only 7% of children aged 11 years the group has never had experience of smoking at all, which became a heavy smoker interval three years later.

"The results showed that the first experience to be the main deciding factor, that someone will be a heavy smoker in the future," Fidler said the findings reported in the journal that published Tobacco Control this weekend.

The scientists still do not have certainty on the question of why the first single cigarette has such impact, but they said that nicotine can alter elements order situation in the brain, which can make children more vulnerable to stress or depression. And also can make them have a greater tendency to repeat the experience of smoking.

The first cigarette was also eliminates any fear or anxiety caught, or caught doing smoking by the parents or their teachers, who can actually prevent them to have a bad habit in the future.

Jean King of Cancer Institute researchers in the UK, said the discovery Fidler and his colleagues have very important implications, and certainly very useful in the effort to "anti-smoking campaign".

"Any research that helps reveal the process that occurs among teenagers, who later became smokers group, is the main key to develop and make effective targets in an effort to prevent young people have a desire to begin experimenting with smoking for the first time."
