Nicotine Won't Let You Quit Smoking

By: Jill Carpenter

Does nicotine have it's grip on you? Most everyone knows this highly addictive substance is found in tobacco, but surprisingly it is found in many other common vegetables such as tomatos or eggplant found on your well balanced dinner plate. And while it's not illegal, it is considered to be as addictive as heroine and cocaine.
Too much nicotine can leech on to you both physically and mentally. Smokers are at an impasse because they face both the psychological and physical issues. Fighting anything of this nature can be a dilemma for anyone.
While nicotine by itself is not considered a carcinogen, smoking allows it to be carried deep into the lungs for immediate gratification to the addiction. It is instantly fused into the bloodstream and almost instantly available to every part of the body to affect internal health.
From the brain and blood vessels to the hormones and heart - nicotine spreads into it all. And one of the most obvious things it affects is the metabolism, giving anyone trying to lose weight and stop smoking at the same time a mountain to climb that may leave some with the feeling that they're trying to defy gravity.
Endorphins can raise your mood quite the same way nicotine does. But coming down from nicotine is not as natural. A tolerance is built up, and to keep a normal feeling a person needs to smoke the same amount consistently. A gradual reduction over time can trick the body from having an immediate melt down.
If you quit cold turkey, you'll find that nicotine will remain easily detectable in the body as long as four to five days. Complete immediate cessation of your nicotine intake will cause symptoms of withdrawal, which can leave great physical and mental obstacles to overcome.
The physical portion of the addiction will cause symptoms such as insomnia, nausea, and shaky nerves. Mental instability is obvious to friends of the person who is trying to quit smoking via signs of anger, irritability, and even depression.
In desperation, smokers will resort back to cigarettes knowing the immediate return of nicotine back to their system will resume feelings of tranquility. Those able to avoid taking a cigarette can still feel withdrawal symptoms for weeks. The level of the nicotine addiction will ultimately determine how long fall out lasts.
Eventually, nicotine will lose it's hold and the physical addiction will end. Smoking cessation aids can speed up the process, leaving the rituals of the smoker to be the final barrier.
