Short Description of Smoking Addiction

Smoking addiction or nicotine addiction or dependence happens when you need to smoke and cannot stop using it. Nicotine is the addicting substance found in cigarettes and produces pleasing effects on the brain but it is only temporary so the need to reach for another cigarette.

Symptoms of Smoking Addiction

Signs that you may be addicted include:

• You can’t stop smoking. You’ve made one or more serious, but unsuccessful, attempts to stop.
• You have withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop. Your attempts at stopping have caused physical and mood-related symptoms, such as strong cravings, anxiety, irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating, depressed mood, frustration, anger, increased hunger, insomnia, constipation or diarrhea.
• You keep smoking despite health problems. Even though you’ve developed health problems with your lungs or your heart, you haven’t been able to stop.
• You give up social activities. You may stop going to smoke-free restaurants or stop socializing with family or friends because you can’t smoke in these situations.

About Smoking Addiction

Nicotine is a very addictive chemical that is found in the tobacco plant. The addiction it causes is physical in nature meaning habitual users come to crave the chemical, and also mental, meaning smokers consciously desire for the effects that it produces. Nicotine dependence is also behavioral as people become dependent on actions involved with the use of tobacco. Stopping your smoking addiction can lead to better health and a longer life.

Etiology of Smoking Addiction

Nicotine is the primary substance that make you want to smoke. It reaches the brain within seconds of taking a puff. In the brain, nicotine increases the release of brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, which is responsible for regulating mood and behavior. Dopamine, one of the neurotransmitters is released in the reward center of the brain resulting in feelings of pleasure and improved mood. The more you smoke, the more nicotine you require in order to feel good.

Common situations that trigger the urge to smoke include:

• Drinking coffee or taking breaks at work
• Talking on the phone
• Drinking alcohol
• Driving your car
• Spending time with friends
