Nicotine Addiction | Nicotine Addiction Facts
Nicotine addiction is the most common of all addictions and each and everyday between 80-100,000 young children or adolescents around the world experiment with their first cigarette. Although most find the nausea, dizziness and coughing spells that the first lungful of toxic smoke causes unpleasant and some decide not to smoke another most will smoke another and find the second cigarette stimulating and the third and forth pleasant and continue to smoke and after many years the avoidence of withdrawal only reinforces their smoking habit.
Of those long term smokers 70% regret ever smoking their first cigarette or would like to stop smoking, but for most its one failed attempt after another, thousands of pounds up in smoke each year, not to mention the health problems that result from smoking.
Facts about Nicotine and Nicotine Addiction
- Nicotine is a naturally forming organic compound found throughout the tobacco plant and the term nicotine is derived from Jean Nicot de Villemain who introduced tobacco to France in 1560.

- When a cigarette is inhaled on the nicotine within the tobacco is absorbed into the blood stream, pumped by the heart and reaches the brain within 7 seconds.
- Within the brain nicotine affects the Mesolimbic pathways (reward system) and stimulates the release of feel good chemicals such as norepinephrine and dopamine which are thought to be responsible for the eventual addiction to nicotine. Within the body nicotine affects hormones, the heart and blood vessels and even affects the body's metabolism resulting in weight loss in some smokers.
- The elimination half live of nicotine within the body is two hours and after this time nicotine withdrawal symptoms can begin to occur unless a fresh dose of nicotine is supplied to the smoker.
- Over time a tolerence to nicotine builds up and the number of cigarettes smoked needs to be increased to get the same relief and stimulating effect and a smoker quickly becomes physically and psycologically dependent on nicotine.
- Once a smoker has stopped smoking the possibility of relapse is ever present and a single cigarette months or even years after quitting smoking can quickly reinstate nicotine addiction and lead an ex-smoker back to full time smoking.
Overcoming Nicotine Addiction
Once considered a sign of maturity, chic and socially acceptable in today's society cigarette smoking is frowned upon and smokers are restricted to where they can smoke and because of the cost of smoking and health consequences of smoking each year millions attempt to stub out the cigarette for good.
Nicotine is considered as addictive as heroin and getting over nicotine addiction is easier said than done. A smoker will need to deal with the physical as well as psychological addiction/habit of smoking and most will miss the smell, taste and feeling of holding a cigarette and experience an intense urge to smoke when drinking, after eating, when stressed, bored or socializing.
Many smokers think that nicotine replacement therapy in the form of the nicotine patch, gum or inhaler will be the best way to stop smoking but research has shown these products to be largely ineffective and to only draw out nicotine withdrawal symptoms and few smokers quit using them. To stop smoking you need to do more than stick a patch on you're arm, you need to change you're overall mindset about smoking.
