Careful analysis of over 6,000 soldiers' medical records has revealed that troops deployed to the Middle East are at an increased risk for developing allergic diseases.  The comparison was made between soldiers who had served in the Persian Gulf and soldiers who were stationed stateside.  "All of them say they didn't have allergies before [they served]," remarks researcher Anthony Szema, M.D., of Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Northport, N.Y.  The numbers show that 9.9% of soldiers in the middle east were developing allergies or asthma while only 5.1% of homeland stationed personnel were experiencing symptoms.  This ratio held true for both men and women troops and led researchers to ask why there was such a disparity between the number of cases occurring only in the U.S. (...)

Nicotine is a drug that is ranked with heroine in terms of its addictiveness. By smoking substances like tobacco, the chemicals released in a gas form in the smoke are easily absorbed through delicate lung tissue and into the blood stream. The nicotine actually alters the chemistry in the brain within seconds of the first inhalation, causing a temporary euphoric sensation. Part of this feeling may be attributed to the fact that the carbon monoxide in smoke impairs the bloods ability to carry oxygen to vital organs such as the heart and brain.
