			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fatal effect that nicotine has on human bodies has been well documented. It may be especially injurious to women, however, because it seems to aid the spread of breast cancer tumors to other parts of the body.</p>
<p>The harmful effects of this lethal component in tobacco have already received considerable attention by researchers. All types of cancers including those of lungs, neck, head and prostrate have been extensively studied and their relationship with nicotine has been analyzed extensively.</p>
<p>Adding to this body of knowledge is the recent study conducted on how nicotine is related to Breast Cancer. The study may open new avenues for anti cancer drug research.</p>
<p>It also augments the already existing research on how the things that human beings ingest cause harmful effects; in this case how it can cause breast cancer or worsen the already existing condition.<span id="more-493"></span></p>
<p>Whether nicotine is absorbed first hand by smoking cigarettes or by inhaling second hand smoke, the effects are the same. A woman who does not smoke may be putting herself at the same level of danger as her smoking companions just by being around them when they smoke.</p>
<p>In addition to getting a person addicted to the substance, nicotine also has other harmful effects. It seems to affect women differently and is seen to be potentially more harmful on women.</p>
<p>In vivo and in vitro studies seem to indicate that while nicotine may not be a conventional carcinogen, when it combines with certain other cellular elements within the body, it proves fertile ground to enable the development of tumors.</p>
<p>Metastasis may not occur just by the administration of nicotine. However nicotine does potentiate growth related processes which obviously includes metastasis or rapid spreading of cancer cells to other parts of the body.</p>
<p>Nicotine was traditionally believed to trigger or excite only the human nervous system, but the recent study shows evidence that the substance can trigger even non-neuronal cells, specifically cancer cells. Nicotine is shown to promote intracellular signaling in lung cancer.</p>
<p>Nicotine is attracted to some special nicotine receptors found in the epithelium-like cells of the breasts, and bind to them. It then stimulates the cells to grow out of control which then causes cancer.</p>
<p>Once the cells turn cancerous and start rapidly multiplying, the receptors also direct them to migrate to other parts of the body causing the cancer to spread. Nicotine cannot accomplish this by itself, and other than the nicotine receptors in the breast cells, factors that assist nicotine in cancer needs to be explored further.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of weeks ago, I happened to be in the terminal at Orlando International Airport.  As I was walking to my gate, I noticed the man walking next to me had this cigarette-like thing between his lips, and appeared to be enjoying it like a true cigarette.  I smoked three packs a day for about 30 years before quitting, so I asked him what type of stick he was enjoying.  He said it was “Green Nicotine”, and gave me an explanation of how he was smoking without really smoking.</p>
<p>His explanation intrigued me, so when I got home I began to do a little research on this device&#8230;and that’s what it is; a device.  Green Nicotine is an electronic cigarette that runs on a battery that lasts for a little more than the equivalent cigarette pack .  It comes with two batteries so you can always keep one charged and ready to “smoke”.   To begin using, just inhale&#8230;no kidding!  There’s a computer chip that senses the moving air and activates it&#8230;the wonders of technology.<span id="more-1651"></span></p>
<p>All it appears to do is deliver nicotine to the user, and is not intended for people wanting to quit cigarette smoking.  Green Nicotine delivers nicotine without the harmful tars, carcinogens or other cancer causing chemicals found in the traditional cigarette.  I found it interesting that the nicotine refill cartridges come in three different flavors ( Western, Oriental and Mint) as well as “High” and “Medium” nicotine levels to meet the user’s need.  Since it produces a harmless vapor that immediately evaporates and not smoke, it’s legal for use in the public domain.  No fire, ash or second hand smoke.</p>
<p>The only downside I can see (other than the nicotine addiction) is that the FDA  has not approved e-cigarettes.  The primary reason for this is because some of the other e-cigarettes on the market use diethylene glycol to suspend the exhaled vapor.  Diethylene glycol is a known carcinogen also found in antifreeze, and some believe it&#8217;s presence in e-cigarettes may be dangerous.  <a title="Green Nicotine" href="http://amazingproducts.tv/green-nicotine.html" target="_self">Green Nicotine</a> founder Sean Schoepflin says the new e-cigarette he has developed is free of this harmful chemical and scientific evidence will back it up.   Schoepflin says test results from the Pony Testing International Group proves his product is diethylene glycol free. He believes the Pony testing methods mimic how the FDA will one day test his e-cigarette.  &#8220;We believe the FDA will eventually be on our side&#8221;, he avows.</p>
<p>It appears to me that if you’re unable to break the nicotine habit by using the nicotine patches or gum, this may be an alternative for you.  You don’t have to break the “hand to mouth” habit so thoroughly ingrained in cigarette smokers, plus your nicotine need is satisfied.  You can ”smoke” without getting the carcinogens&#8230;should be a smoker’s dream come true!</p>
