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.

Nicotine is a dangerous drug that is classified as a stimulant. That means it stimulates or speeds up one or more of the bodyâs systems. While this may sound like something beneficial, it does not make you faster or stronger. Instead, it puts more stress on your body than is healthy for it.
