This is when the transition occurs. Once you are addicted, you start saying that you enjoy smoking.
But exactly what is this joy?
The dependent brain needs nicotine, and when it gets the hit you feel so good.
Remember that it is the nicotine you are addicted to; it is the nicotine that you are after.
The tobacco industry has managed, as far back as a couple of decades ago, to produce cigarettes that are totally nicotine-free.
But do you know why they are not available?
Because nobody wants to smoke them - they have no market whatsoever.

•People smoke to get nicotine to the brain!
•Nicotine is highly addictive.
•The addictive nature of nicotine means that the tobacco industry gains loyal customers for life (although this is shorter than the average life span).

Nicotine is a very beneficial drug - it makes you feel good.
So you gain pleasure …
You gain pleasure!
Nicotine produces a pleasurable sensation, it is a 'feel-good' drug after all. However, this is not the only thing that nicotine does for you.
Because …
Nicotine also alters your brain chemistry, creating a chemical dependency - addiction. | |
