Quit Smoking Guide

When it comes to addiction, some people may naturally think that it only applies to drugs such as heroin or cocaine. It wouldn’t be surprising if you hear some people actually saying that they are not addicted to cigarettes at all and as if they can quit at will.

Unfortunately, the reality is that as much as some would not want to admit that they are addicted to cigarettes, studies have shown that nicotine is indeed more addictive than heroin.

Nicotine is the main substance in cigarettes that makes you addicted that wanting to smoke more and more. Even in small substantial amounts, nicotine can be lethal. Just a drop of pure nicotine on your skin could end up killing you.

When you start smoking a cigarette, it will only take seven seconds for the nicotine to reach your brain. What you may not know is that is actually faster than nicotine being injected into your veins.

The fact that nicotine can reach your brain cells so quickly is what also makes it so addictive. Did you also know that millions of dollars have been spent on research to ensure cigarettes are design in a way to most effectively deliver nicotine to your body?

Once nicotine is in your brain, it will make you ‘feel’ good by stimulating certain parts of your brain cells. The more you feed your brain to nicotine, the more your brain will be used to it. The sudden lack of nicotine fed to your brain will make your brain crave for it, and hence the whole feeling of addiction.

The relaxation effect comes from satisfying your addiction rather than actually relaxing it, giving the false feeling that cigarettes actually help you to reduce stress! The truth is it certainly doesn’t!

What’s more dangerous is that your brain will get more used and used to it, resulting in even greater feeding nicotine and you ending up smoking more and more! That’s why most smokers who start with few cigarettes a day can end up with more than 2 packs a day.
