A white blood cell (WBC) count is a test that measures the number of white blood cells in your body. This test is often included with a complete blood count (CBC). The term âwhite blood cell countâ is also used more generally to refer to the number of white blood cells in your body. There are several types of white blood cells, and your blood usually contains a percentage of each type. Sometimes, however, your white blood cell count can fall or rise out of the healthy range.

The nicotine in cigarette smoke is addictive. When used in small amounts, nicotine creates a pleasurable feeling, which makes you want to smoke more. The more you smoke, the more you crave. One of the major problems is when you want to quit, you suffer withdrawal symptoms. You may experience headaches, nervousness, irritability and difficulty sleeping. Nicotine can also affect your mood, because it alters the chemistry of your brain and central nervous system.
