    Which one of these is a disease caused by smoking?

    • Bronchitis

    • Ear infection

    • Schitzophrenia

    • Breast cancer

    • Depression

    Correct Answer
    A. Bronchitis
    Explanation
    Bronchitis is a disease caused by smoking. Smoking irritates and inflames the bronchial tubes, leading to the development of bronchitis. This condition is characterized by a persistent cough, difficulty breathing, and excessive mucus production. Smoking damages the cilia in the bronchial tubes, impairing their ability to clear mucus and bacteria from the lungs. This allows harmful substances to build up, leading to infection and inflammation. Therefore, bronchitis is directly linked to smoking and is considered one of the many respiratory diseases caused by this harmful habit.

Since there are around 19,000 tobacco caused deaths each year, we can divide this number by the number of days in a year to find the daily average.

    Explanation
    Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after smoke is inhaled. This rapid delivery is due to the fact that when nicotine is inhaled, it is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs. From there, it is carried to the brain where it binds to nicotine receptors, triggering the release of various neurotransmitters such as dopamine, which produces pleasurable sensations and reinforces the addictive nature of smoking.
