Are you a Marijuana or Cigarette smoker? Then you should betted know that Marijuana is more dangerous than Cigarettes. Recent researches shows that almost every Marijuana smokes less than Cigarette smokers. But thats not a good sign either. Researchers who compared marijuana smoke to tobacco smoke found that ammonia levels were 20 times higher in the marijuana smoke, and that hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen-related chemicals also were more prevalent in the marijuana smoke. The latter likely came from fertilizer used to grow the marijuana, which came from Canada. Unlike tobacco, however, marijuana smoke does not contain the addictive drug nicotine. New research finds that smoking three or four marijuana cigarettes a week for six years could harm lung function and destroy antioxidants that protect cells against heart disease and cancer.

Death of Brain.
Users of ecstasy and methamphetamine exhibit signs of brain damage similar to that suffered by victims of traumatic brain injuries, according to researchers at the University of Florida.Using these drugs can cause a chemical chain reaction leading to cell death in the brain, memory loss, and other potentially permanent problems. This study was based on rats. Brains of rats exposed to drugs and found that the damage they cause to certain proteins in the brain could lead to cell death and brain inflammation. Lots of brain cell are damaged because of those drugs.

Abstinence Strongest Strategy for Sustained Recovery
Almost all addiction starts from alcoholism. Recent studies reports that the best chance to sustain ones recovery is to completely abstain from alcohol consumption. Overall, the study found that people in recovery who were abstainers at the beginning of the study were least likely to relapse during the three years reviewed (2002-2005). Fifty-one percent of asymptomatic risk drinkers (people who did not have abuse or dependence symptoms, but who drank more than the recommended guidelines to avoid relapse) experienced a recurrence of alcohol dependence symptoms. But researchers discovered that abstaining worked best for those over 25.
