Win slavery smoke understanding the mechanisms that determine the dependence:
Smoking is addictive, on that now there are no more doubts. Numerous scientific studies since 1988 have confirmed what the tobacco companies already knew.
The dependence is on three levels:
* physical dependence, due to nicotine
* psychological dependence, due to the good elements that we believe gives us the cigarette
* sign dependence, due to the habits that we tied to the act of smoking
Physical dependence
Many say that smoking is a habit, a bad habit that can be abandoned at any time.
There is nothing more false.
Cigarette smoking is addictive and smoking is considered a disease. Believe that lighting a cigarette is just a “bad habit” is a gross error that does not allow us to properly address the problem. The WHO, in the tenth revision of International Classification of Diseases (International Disease Classification) includes the dependence on tobacco in the list of disorders linked to the use of pharmacological substances.
Nicotine is the main ingredient in cigarettes that can be addictive. It, through the smoke of tobacco, quickly reaches the brain chemical changes and triggering a chain reaction involving a high production of dopamine. This chemical is a neurotransmitter: making it possible to information and the nerve impulses to pass from one neuron to another, and is also responsible for feelings of pleasure that we try smoking.
Scholars have identified the signs of nicotine dependence: the need to smoke more and more to get the same effect, feelings of addiction to tobacco, loss of control over the number of cigarettes smoked and discomfort, even after a short abstinence, which leads to the attempt continued to find relief from the urge to smoke
Psychological dependence
It’s closely linked to physical dependence. Without it we would never have believed that smoking may be helpful to deal with stress, to consult, to calm, relieve sad moments. Psychological dependence stems from a false hope: that smoking can give us something (make us calmer, more alert, more energetic …).
This is a deception, a lie linked to nicotine dependence. The truth is that when we smoke to relieve shortage of nicotine and interpret this brief respite as pleasure or relaxation. Smoking is addictive! After 15-20 minutes from the last “dose” of nicotine withdrawal begins a new crisis with symptoms more intense. Lighting another cigarette again breed the desire for nicotine and reassured us, believing that the smoke is so relaxing. This vicious circle ( relieve withdrawal symptoms, withdrawal symptoms relieved …) is created us without our knowing it and leads us to believe that smoking is pleasant
Let pause a moment and look back in detail the sensations felt when we started smoking …. That first cigarette was certainly not a pleasant experience, smoking, foul-tasting, it caused coughing and burning sensation in the throat, watery eyes and irritation to the nose …..
There is no doubt … without the dependency created by the nicotine in the smoke of pleasant nothing: no relaxation, no satisfaction, no ability to make us feel better or feel more confident. Only one employee!
Dependence gestural
After smoking thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of cigarettes, we should not be surprised to have developed gestures and habits well established: smoking before getting out of bed, after coffee, with a beer or during a phone call etc.. Having done so for years, these situations are inextricably linked to smoking. Often, lighting a cigarette after the other, almost without noticing it. How many cigarettes you smoke consciously, and enjoy a day? Three, maybe four, at most five. To stop smoking is definitely needed an appropriate strategy to address these “factors Unleashed”
Summing up why still smoking?
1. Because it is dependent on nicotine and give up the causes of the crisis of abstinence.
2. Because he hopes or believes that smoking can give you something (make it calmer, more attentive or whatever). The cigarette has been around for a long time. You find it hard to imagine the daily routine without her, he is accompanied in difficult times as in those heady. It helped (or rather did aid credits) for the challenges of life. So for her it is hard to believe they can get along without his help.
3. For the set of habits and behaviors associated with cigarette
