Nicotine is the substance in tobacco and cigarettes that is mostly responsible for the addictive properties of smoking. A study investigating all major market categories of cigarettes during the period 1998 to 2005 showed an average increase in nicotine concentrations of 1.6% per year. In other words, cigarettes are becoming more addictive than ever before.

It has been linked to most cancers, heart disease and numerous ailments. As we discover more about its ill effects and this is beyond dispute now, it is time this legal epidemic is tackled voluntarily.

We know that Nicotine binds to several neurotransmitters leading to increased levels of dopamine in the rewards centres of the brain. Raised dopamine levels cause euphoria and relaxation and in the end, addiction. When a neurotransmitter concentration is increased the body feels a "high" but this cannot be sustained and as the levels drop opposite feelings to euphoria and relaxation are experienced such as tension and anxiety leading to the desire for another cigarette. The cycle is complete and the solution has become the cause.

Breaking the smoking habit is challenging. Firstly the desire to quit is often understandably weak. Who wants to give up feeling relaxed and euphoric? It requires a smoker to examine the trade-off between what is to be gained and what is to be lost. The mind can see many good reasons but the body is not quite convinced. It is a much easier to quit smoking when this conflict is resolved and the advantages strongly outweigh the disadvantages of the quitting process.

The not having a cigarette at break times, or with a cup of coffee or with a beer after work... It can take sometime to get used to these almost ritual like habits.
