Stop Smoking (Smoking Cessation) Information
There are two major elements that determine tobacco addiction:
physiological factors and psychological factors. The nicotine
in cigarettes and other tobacco products induces physiological
changes almost instantly. About 25% of the nicotine in tobacco
smoke reaches the brain within six seconds after a smoker
inhales.

immediately causes increases in heart rate, blood pressure
and pulse rate, along with the constriction of blood vessels.
It also evokes the discharge of free fatty acids into the
blood and the release of adrenalin and similar substances;
then stops the flow causing a physical "rush"
sensation. This sudden rush is followed by a resting state
in which the body attempts to return to its normal functioning.
This state is what most smokers identify as the relaxing
feeling they get when they smoke.
Over time, a cause-effect association between the act of
smoking and the resulting physiological changes develops.
In effect, a person becomes "conditioned" to smoke
when cravings occur. This connection can be seen in a smoker
whenever that person gets an "urge" to smoke while
driving, studying, drinking, after meals, or while socializing.
Regular smokers connect smoking with hundreds of activities
during the day. This is the component
of tobacco addiction in which an individual learns to smoke
to satisfy cravings. Just as a person learns to connect
these things with smoking, they can learn to "un-connect"
them and quit. Smoking cessation or stop smoking pills help
in this respect.
