- In this video, Dr. Webb talks about nicotine and what it does to your spine.
Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical found in tobacco products like cigarettes, cigars, and e-cigarettes. When nicotine is inhaled or consumed, it rapidly enters the bloodstream and travels throughout the body, affecting various organs and systems. Nicotine is known to constrict blood vessels, leading to reduced blood flow to different parts of the body, including the spine. The spine, like other structures, relies on proper blood circulation to receive oxygen and nutrients for healthy function and maintenance. Nicotine use has been associated with an increased risk of developing certain spine-related problems such as degenerative disc disease, vertebral compression fractures secondary to osteoporosis, and in general higher rates of lower back pain.

Great video sir. Very accurate information that needs to be shared to the youth
I never realized it could lead to bone degeneration. Thanks, Dr. Webb!!!
Now that I see your video, I used to smoke and always had back pain I quit ten years ago and my back feels great. Thanks for the video.
I just love your consistency truly you’re doing great 👍🏻
Yet again another great video! I love your contents doc.
Thanks so much for this Doc. never knew about this.
WOW I had no idea thanks what a great doctor much appreciated
At 23 I needed adhd medication, and never got it.. I had a laminectomy which failed.. now at 25 I’m prescribed adhd meds, not that the pills from the pharmacy have any consistency on effectiveness, but I have refrained from all nicotine use. When the adhd meds work I have no urge to use nicotine.. it’s horrible that smoking is legal.
Sharing!
thank you, will use this video to back up what I am always telling my patients !!! would you say Vaping is as bad? assuming so by the vile fumes/smell of it. 🤢
Can you do a house tour next please
*Pseudarthrosis.*
Thanks Dr Webb.
What about caffeine consumption???
Can smoking also cause muscle spasms in the back
Makes your pp vessels smaller and thus your entire pp is smaller - Pp doctor
Hi Dr. Webb does this information apply to marijuana ?
Does smoking cigars have the same effect?
That's the question I have as well!!
Yes, they still contain nicotine and usually they have no filter. The only difference would be the quantity.
I don't smoke but can the second hand smoke from others do the same
But it does protect against ulcerative colitis! :-)
A heavy dose of all natural psilocybin in the right setting has been known to make people quit instantly without any issues🤷🍄
well I ate 4 grams of mushrooms already so maybe that wasn’t enough?
@@reddbenddpp doctor a little unconventional ehh? 😂
What about weed I thought it was good for back pain
Use a dry herb vaporize to minimize the smoke or just ingest edibles, and oils and tinctures..etc
what about marijuana!?
I think the word you are looking for is cessation instead of sensation
1:43
But I think you said it wrong the entire video.
cessation is what was written on screen
@@newmankidman5763 but it’s not what he said. Three times.
@@CatalystNetwork, he said it twice, but you are right about his having said sensation, instead of cessation
@@stllcb7894, you are correct. Everybody, with the exception of babies and adults in coma, makes mistakes
