Nicotine addiction is a real problem for smokers, but. . .

The physical act of smoking continues even after the nicotine addiction has been broken. It seems the psychological aspect of smoking addiction (not just nicotine) must be accounted for as well. So how do smokers do it? E-mail me for help.

The first step to overcoming any addiction is to recognize it, this includes all aspects of addiction, physical, mental, emotional and social. Recognize it, then you can finally win the battle against smoking. Start now.

Addiction is serious and there are many forms of it. But many smokers claim cigarette addiction even after using the nicotine patch (it regulates the flow of nicotine, slowly reducing their dependence on nicotine, until no more addiction). Why do they need cigarettes?

Thanks to the nicotine patch, gum and inhalers, Americans are 4-times more likely to try to kick the habit, according to The National Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).

Yes, the nicotine addiction is virtually quenched by the patch, nicotine inhalers or nicotine gum. So the real tobacco addiction is now a psychological addiction, a dependence on daily routine (ritual) and, of course, a habit. Get help to break the habit.

Other smokers just hear that you can be addicted and psychosomatically (without cause) get hooked. They are looking for any excuse to keep smoking. Reasons include others are addicted, previous failures, I just can’t do it, etc.

These people have extra problems quitting because they do not believe they can. Believe and you have taken the first step to permanent smoke-freedom. . . then even heavily addicted smokers can address their addiction(s) with confidence and courage.

Again, even when the physical addiction disappears, the dependence on cigarettes may remain. Work your way through it. Get help.

Over time, smoking becomes a learned unconscious reflex, a habit. It’s done without thought, every day, many times a day. This is where the line between habit and addiction blurs.

Out of the 1+ million American Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) members, 56.9 percernt smoke, according to a report by Vanderbilt University researchers.

No matter how bad things seem, there is a way out. Habit and addictive behaviors can be modified and a new habit, smoke-freedom, can be learned to replace it. Yes, you can overcome addiction and learn how to live smoke-free! E-mail me.

2 Tennessee inmates in a smoke-free prison traded a guard held hostage for cigarettes after a 6-hour standoff. "As the night progressed they started saying, 'Look, we'll give up if you let us have some tobacco. If you do that, we'll go back to our cell,'" Howard Carlton, warden of the Northeast Correctional Complex said. "They got them some cigarettes, they smoked them and went back to their cell and locked themselves back in."
