When you start smoking, where would you place your chances for success at quitting one day? If you put your faith in statistics, you’d have a 5% chance at success. What happens to the rest of us is a potent mixture of extreme craving, unbearable headaches, and irritable twitchiness.
The brain wants its nicotine the stimulants in tobacco that make receptors in the brain release pleasure-making dopamine. Do you realize that in a world where smokers for 40 years have endlessly seen smoking bans, dire cancer warnings from the Surgeon General, pressure from friends and family, that 19 out of 20 people fail to quit even once they try?
That is the power that chemicals like nicotine have over us; but if you want to quit, it does make sense to try to fight chemical with chemical, does it not? If you want to stop smoking medication could be your way out.
