Smoking Addiction Treatment: Break Free from Nicotine Dependence
Understanding Smoking Addiction
Smoking addiction, primarily caused by nicotine, is both a physical and psychological dependency. Nicotine triggers the release of dopamine in the brain, creating feelings of pleasure and relaxation. Over time, this leads to habitual smoking, making it difficult to quit without professional help.
Common Signs of Smoking Addiction
- Craving cigarettes throughout the day.
- Experiencing withdrawal symptoms such as irritability or anxiety when not smoking.
- Smoking despite knowing its harmful effects.
- Difficulty cutting down or quitting.
