Tobacco smoke or cigar smoke acts in various ways in the human body depending on the time and circumstances of it being consumed. It acts most frequently as a sedative or a narcotic. In some instances smoking cigarettes will rouse the sluggish mind into activity while in others it moderates excessive mental excitement. It will often correct the disagreeable effects of nervousness while on the other hand; it will likewise act as a laxative. The most noticible characteristics perhaps are the effects of smoking on the nervous system in such cases as those in which it is upset by mental distress or anxiety. At the same time it must not be forgotten that there are persons whose nerves are disarranged and quite upset by smoking. By such people the habit should be tabued altogether, others again are only inconvenienced after an excess, while there are those who can stand any amount. But troublesome and incurable symptoms may appear if the habit is persisted in.
