Question 4

is pipe tobacco terrible?

Accepted Answer

Try Nicotine Gum: After 3-5 days since one's last use of nicotine, there is no more in the body. Drinking more fluids can help it flush out faster. I encourage some my patients to try switching from cigarettes to nicorette (nicotine gum) gum- 4 mg and the uncoated mint. One chews it different from real gum so read the insert. Once a smoker gets used to the gum and over the cigarettes, the gum is tapered and discontinued.

Question 5

why is tobacco habit forming?

Accepted Answer

Action in brain: Nicotine causes activation of senstive areas of the brain which then releases Dopamine , thus causing a pleasureable effect and reinforcer of a action. This is basis of addiction maintenance of a hedonic ( feel good) state. Other data shows that genes may be passed on that confer increased susceptibilty to its action.

Question 10

how can i quit my tobacco habit?

Accepted Answer

Smoking cessation: I recommend chantix, start at least 2 weeks before the day you decide you want to quit smoking.  Tell people you are quitting, and when.  Change your routines.  Get rid of everything that reminds you of smoking (lighters, ashtrays) make your home "nonsmoking" so if you do smoke it is as inconvenient as possible.   Stay in the moment.  Good luck!
