Nicotine addiction is actually irrelevant. What is relevant is to stop, and once stopped never ever start again!!
Since 1988 when then Surgeon General C. Edward Coop announced “that nicotine was as addictive as cocaine or heroin” every governmental agency, non-profit organization, hospital, and university has and continues to be the sales spokesperson for the chemical models of smoke cessation. These models, ranging from Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT), antidepressants like Bupropion (Zyban and Wellbutrin), anesthesia shots, and Varenicline (a derivate of the poison Cytisine) sold as Chantix, unfortunately contain very adverse and potentially lethal side- effects, are costly, and have very high relapse rates.
One-third of all quit attempts fail within the first 48 hours, and fewer than 10 percent succeed long-term (more than a year). Currently, all standard chemical models are designed to work mainly on the initial quit event, and leave the five stages of smoking: emotional-shift-self-medicating – give-in –exhaustion formed by smoking’s Habitual Conditioned Responses (CHR) to self-control; commonly called “willpower.”
Please answer this question. What does chemical addiction to nicotine have to do with?
• The emotional reasons for starting the smoking habit i.e. "to be cool" "rebellious" "part of the crowd" "school or work stress" "suffering through a divorce, a bad relationship, or the death of a loved one?
• Thinking of the cigarette as you little friend and companion?
• worries of weight gain if you quit
• Oral and hand fixations?
• smoking only when bored or stressed
• only smoking a set number of cigarettes per day or week; often for years
• The occasional smoking--- Lighting-up only when, partying, weekends or on vacations?
• Using only certain tobaccos or cigarette brands--- even going without rather that using off brands?
• The urges to smoke at certain "key" moments (with coffee or tea, after a meal, when the phone rings, in the car, at the computer, watching TV, with alcohol, taking a work break), or when emotional (lonely, sad, or angry)?
• The harsh withdrawal not associated to nicotine?
Conclusion: willpower and a patch, pill, shot, or gum is costly, ineffective for long-term relapse prevention, potential lethal, and can actually increase the smoking habit
