3 Things You Need to Know About Nicotine Addiction
Before you quit smoking, there are three things you should know about nicotine.
Number 1: Law of Addiction
The Law of Addiction is that “the administration of a drug to an addict will cause re-establishment of chemical dependence upon the addictive substance at the old level of use or greater.”
Yes, with just one puff after quitting (and within ten seconds), up to half of your brain’s dopamine pathway receptors will become occupied by nicotine. We’re not talking about one cigarette. One PUFF will undo all your great quit-smoking efforts.
A New Nicotine Danger That Can Harm Your Family
The nicotine in “third-hand smoke,” the residue from tobacco smoke that clings to virtually all surfaces long after a cigarette has been extinguished, reacts with the common indoor air pollutant nitrous acid to produce dangerous carcinogens. This new potential health hazard was revealed in a multi-institutional study led by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
The burning of tobacco releases nicotine in the form of a vapor that adsorbs strongly onto indoor surfaces, such as walls, floors, carpeting, drapes, and furniture. Nicotine can persist on those materials for days, weeks, and even months.
