Quit Smoking Medication Online
We now know that cigarettes are
addictive, and that nicotine is the drug in tobacco that causes
addiction, but it is the over 4000 other chemicals in cigarette
smoke that cause the most harm. This combination makes cigarettes
deadly. When you smoke, nicotine enters the bloodstream through the
lungs. It quickly reaches the brain, where it affects certain
chemicals that change the way you feel. Eventually, the brain
becomes dependent on nicotine to control these chemicals that make
you feel "normal."
Am I Addicted?
You may be addicted to cigarettes if you experience one or more of
the following signs:
You continue smoking despite the desire to quit.
You have made a serious, but unsuccessful, attempt to quit smoking
or permanently reduce the amount you use.
Your attempts to stop smoking have led to physical withdrawal
symptoms, including a craving for tobacco, anxiety, irritability,
restlessness, difficulty concentrating, headaches, drowsiness, and
upset stomach.
You develop a "tolerance" for tobacco. Smoking the same number of
cigarettes produces less effect over time, making it necessary to
increase the number of cigarettes you smoke to achieve the desired
sensation.
You have continued smoking even when you have a serious physical
problem (such as cardiovascular or respiratory disease) that you
know is worsened by tobacco.
Stop Smoking
When smokers who are addicted to
cigarettes stop smoking, they may suffer from symptoms that can be
psychological, emotional, or physical in nature. This is called
withdrawal. They may experience irritability, anxiety, difficulty
concentrating, restlessness, or depression. Fortunately for many
patients, ZYBAN reduces withdrawal symptoms and the urge to smoke.
