Quit smoking if you can. Smoking can affect your head in a very bad way. In fact
smoking affects the functioning of every part of your body. When you smoke you
are actually submitting your body and the various mechanisms that go on to the
power of a very strong alkaloid that is nicotine. So if you can quit smoking
by all means do. It will help you live a better life and can contribute much
towards eliminating your headache.
In fact, if your headache goes away when you start smoking it means that your
body has already become dependent on nicotine. In that case your headache may
be a withdrawal symptom.
There are many things that are identified with substance abuse. Alcohol is one
of them, narcotic drugs are another and tobacco is in no way to be left behind.
The problem, or let us say that the similarity among all these substances is
that once one gets used to them, breaking away is not easy.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not the fear of deprivation of the pleasantly
high feeling that drives the person to use the substance again and again so that
it is used, misused and eventually abused. The person returns for his or her
daily shot because of certain altered conditions in the body. These substances
are indeed very potent and they affect certain specific spots or centers of the
brain.
The brain quickly gets used to these alterations and then before we know it,
these centers of the brain cannot do without the daily doze of the substance.
The brain did not ask for the substance in the first place but we gave them to
it. When we experience that pleasantly high feeling we do not bother about the
changes that are taking place within.
It is common knowledge that the entire processes carried about in the brain are
maintained by a delicate balance of the various chemical slats there. Once we
start using substances like the above-mentioned tobacco, narcotics and alcohol,
the balance of these chemical salts gets altered.
The body as I mentioned earlier is a self-adjusting machine and so this new chemical
balance is established and it takes no time for the brain cells to get adjusted
to the new balance.
Then when the brain cells do not get what is required to maintain the new balance
(read that as the daily puffs) things go hay wire. The old balance was disturbed
and altered and a new balance was set up.
But this new balance is not the real natural thing. It is something that has
to be artificially supported and when that daily, or timely dose of nicotine
does not get to the brain, the new balance gets upset.
