Tobacco smoking lead to DNA damage. Cigarette smoke con-
tains more than 6,000 components [1]. Smoking is the leading risk
factor for lung cancer. Secondhand smoke exposure or air pollution
appears to be the primary underlying cause of cancer. Exercise is
a good way to increase the rate of metabolism. Exercise improves
heart rate and increases the rate of metabolism and burning of heat
[2]. For people who have many years of smoking, it is important
to start exercising. Make sure to drink plenty of water because
nicotine is soluble in water, so drinking water helps to excrete the
substance through the urine. Vitamin A is also helpful in removing
nicotine from the body because it also has the effect of speeding up
the metabolism [3]. Because nicotine tends to destroy vitamin C in
the body, it is important to supplement it after quitting smoking.
Nicotine is highly addictive. It follows that nicotine is associated
with cancer in humans [4]. Therefore, effects on chemotherapeu-
tics by several malignant cell lines, nicotine in concentrations as
although a higher nicotine concentration. Nicotine acts as tumor
growth promoted resistance to apoptosis leading to carcinogene-
sis [5]. Nicotine is concomitant dual effects on anti-apoptosis and
genotoxic activity.
Nicotine is unusual in comparison to most drugs. With increas-
high doses it dampens neuronal activity [6]. This phenomenon is
as well-known “Nesbitt’s paradox”. Micronuclei are characterized
in the cancerous cells have some sort of DNA damage. Micronuclei
body is a small body can be seen in a newly divided daughter cell.
Micronuclei body increased is usually an indication of increased
DNA damage or mutation [7]. The mechanisms leading to the for-
mation of Micronuclei body are chromosome breakage and distur-
bance of the chromosome-segregation system, which represents
an irreversible DNA damage. This mechanism responsible for the
genotoxic effects caused by nicotine [8]. Effects of nicotine on an-
giogenesis have been demonstrated for lung tumor cells. Reports
had also been demonstrated in H157 lung cancer, where nicotine
consistent cytotoxic effects and appeared to be due to direct cell
kill. Cellular cytotoxicity was associated with inhibition of DNA
synthesis, not stimulation of DNA synthesis. This is the main way
that micronuclei are formed [10]. Micronuclei can also be sponta-
neously formed as a byproduct of inhibition of DNA synthesis. This
mechanism to micronuclei formation is by a double-strand break
DNA, creating a separate linear fragment lead to formation of a mi-
cronucleus. Micronuclei are small [11].
These extranuclear bodies that are formed during mitosis from
lagging chromosomes. This results in parts of the cell senses extra
chromosomes, the cell can attempt to remove the extra chromo-

Nicotine constitutes approximately 0.6~3.0% of the dry weight of tobacco. Like anything that enters the body, nicotine is also metabolized.
Therefore, any activity that increases your metabolic rate can help speed up the clearance of nicotine. Nicotine also promotes cancer growth,
angiogenesis, and neovascularization. Thereby, nicotine impeding apoptosis, promoting tumor growth and activating growth factors. This article

concentration was cytotoxic.

somes in another cell membrane, separate from the other normal
chromosomes being broken off and enveloped as an extra nucleus
in one of the daughter cells [12]. Nicotine is an important compo-
nent in tobacco. Among various subtypes of nicotinic receptors, ho-
and mediate multiple effects of nicotine in lung cancer [13]. nAChRs
expressed on lung carcinoma or mesothelioma form a part of an au-
tocrine-proliferative network facilitating the growth of neoplastic
cells. Target drugs as a form of molecular medicine, targeted ther-
targeted molecules needed for carcinogenesis and tumor growth
[14,15]. Nicotine could induce the proliferation of a variety of lung
carcinoma cell clines, but there is no evidence that nicotine itself
provokes cancer. Nicotine alone is generally accepted as a tumor
promoter, but not a tumor initiator in carcinogenesis [16,17]. Nic-
otine can prevent apoptosis induced by various agents in NSCLC.
The concentrations of nicotine promote cell proliferation cor-
respond to the low concentrations, while high concentrations are
activates cell migration, proliferation, survival, and anti-apoptotic
effects exerted, in contract, modulation chemotherapeutics on sev-
eral different malignant cell lines. This phenomenon which nico-
tine-mediated inhibition of apoptosis may contribute to observed
in normal and transformed cells derived from the pathogenesis of
cancer therapies.
