Communication between a hair colour and nicotinic dependence is found

The American researchers assert that the habit to smoking depends on a hair colour and a skin. The it is more dark, the more person is located to nicotinic dependence.
The American researchers from Pensilvansky university declare that black and even dark-haired people sit down on cigarettes, than blondes is much easier. And, hence, and the illnesses connected with smoking, meet at them much more often and in heavier forms.
What such especial in colour hair and skin and why it so affects our will power? Physicians blame in all a pigment melanin which gives a dark shade to our head of hear. It can be developed in an organism naturally, and can and appear after sunburn. According to their researches, high level of this substance causes predilection of the person for tobacco.
“We have found out that concentration of melanin directly is connected with quantity of cigarettes which the person smokes for a day, and also level of nicotinic dependence and nicotine influence on an organism”, - quotes Medlinks the author of research of Ashes King.
On one of versions, the biochemical structure of melanin is similar to nicotine structure. On another, the pigment is capable to contact nicotine because of what that collects in an organism faster and longer keeps in body fabrics. It, in turn, leads to promptly developing and strong dependence, and also more serious consequences for health. It turns out, if to the blonde to "sit down", it is necessary to smoke long and regularly, it is enough to brunette to be indulged - and to refuse cigarettes it cannot any more.
“People with a melanin considerable quantity are inclined to certain type of the use of nicotine - dependences, - hence they will have is more often problems the health, arising because of smoking, - King continues. - dependence at these people can accept heavier forms, than at people with a light skin”.
During the research Americans have collected the data about 150 black smokers. In the questionnaire participants specified the norm of cigarettes a day and answered questions on degree of their nicotinic dependence. At the second stage scientists measured at participants substance level котинина. It is a product of a nicotinic exchange in an organism, on presence and which quantity nicotinic dependence is defined. At last, these indicators have compared to level of melanin at examinees.
However, while scientists do conclusions very cautiously. The obtained data still requires specification and updating, the subsequent researches are necessary.
The researches spent during the different periods of year and in different geographical zones, will help to eliminate influence of seasonal factors, such as sunburn. Besides alcohol consumption, physical activity, a diet, quantity of a fatty fabric, stress level can potentially influence nicotine level. “All these factors it is necessary to consider in the subsequent researches”, - King marks.
