Quit Tip!

Addicted Forever

In a technical sense you never overcome nicotine addiction- each cell in your body is permanently altered by nicotine. Brain cells don't replace themselves the way body cells do. This is why it's really easy to slip back into smoking, even after 'only one' cig- all those brain cells 'remember' the nicotine and start craving all over again. Eventually, most people stop thinking obsessively about cigarettes after the first few months and begin to see themselves as NON-smokers, so the likelihood that they will go back to smoking decreases significantly.

Hope this helps!
It DOES get better!

Shalom!
