Marijuana enters the bloodstream when used, and that means it goes straight from the using mother to the developing child and affects how that child matures. For those who may not be all that concerned about how their child is going to be affected by marijuana during pregnancy, a look at the potential side effects may be enough to…

So give it a read, see what you think. Nicotine addiction truly is an addiction, and shouldn’t be pushed to the side as simply a ‘habit’ that only requires willpower to overcome. In fact, scientists find that nicotine addiction and withdrawal is on par with or above addictions to cocaine and heroin. These substances may cause a more intense high than nicotine, but the addiction itself - how the body becomes dependent upon it - is equally…

the-smoke-behind-the-chainsmokers

Quit Smoking Resources
Few musical acts in the last decade have captured global attention quite like The Chainsmokers — the Grammy-winning electronic-pop duo known for mega-hits like “Closer,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” and “Something Just Like This.” Their music dominates festivals, playlists, and radio charts.
