Making Sense of Smoking Cessation

Nicotine is a highly addictive substance that is present in all tobacco products. When the brain becomes accustomed to nicotine, it begins to rely on the chemical in order to function normally. This is why it is difficult for people to stop using tobacco products such as cigarettes; their brains have been rewired to expect and crave their daily doses of nicotine. Unfortunately, tobacco products contain many other harmful substances that cause serious health problems, such as cancer. The cessation, or quitting of tobacco products is the only way to improve an addict’s health.
