Smoking addiction, which means addiction to the substance nicotine, has several components. Better people understand and understand these components; the greater the chance of successfully quitting smoking habits.

Here is a survey of the components that addiction to smoke consists of:

The social component: To some extent, smoking habits are the product of socialization. Socialization is just the trend of people seeing the repeated behaviors shown by others in society. Socializing is a major way for children and young people to learn social skills. Children and adolescents learn the skills necessary to live and work in society through the process of socialization. Unfortunately, I also learned bad habits and bad ways of thinking.

If a person lives with or works with other smokers, people will more or less automatically adapt their smoking habits. If you subsequently try to break away from the social structure, people will feel anxious because they are no longer accepted by a social group.

If other people take action to threaten or freeze those who try to undermine this poor social standard, it will be more difficult to break this habit. Threatening behavior may not even be serious enough to free a person from this social standardization habit, and may not even constitute a threat.

The need for sucking and chewing: Everyone needs to suck and chew. This need is necessary for the infant's early stages, but to some extent, it continues into adult life. Some people use cigarettes or other smoking devices and cigarettes as a means to meet this demand.

There is a hypothesis that some adults have a greater demand for this than others because this need or other similar basic needs are not fully met in early infancy.

If you want to stop smoking, you can try to meet this demand in other ways, for example, always put the contents of your pocket in your mouth so that you can chew when you are addicted.

Automatic repeating: When a person does many times and does something frequently enough, a pattern is created that automatically repeats that particular behavior. This is especially true if certain operations are performed under clearly identifiable circumstances.

The auto-repeat mode also has the effect of making people feel safer in daily life and routines. This automatic repeat mode is always an integral part of smoking habits.

If you want to quit smoking, you should conduct an investigation to understand the circumstances and circumstances in which you usually smoke. Then, try to avoid using these conditions or smoking or intentionally changing the environment of these conditions.

The nicotine used as self-medication: Nicotine has a calming effect on neurosensory. At the same time, it has some antidepressant effects at least in the short term and makes people feel soberer. People with neurotic or depressive symptoms may feel that smoking helps relieve mental symptoms. However, gradually increasing doses of nicotine are needed to produce these good effects.

If the body lacks nicotine, the nerve or depression will be stronger than before. This kind of satisfaction, but in order to obtain good results, it is necessary to steadily increase the dose, which is the main incentive for smoking habits.

You should consider whether this antidepressant or sedative effect is the cause of smoking. Engaging in certain sports or outdoor life usually makes you feel depressed. If the depression is more severe, you may need to take some appropriate measures.

The pleasure component: To some extent, smoking is a direct pleasure. This kind of fun is a very good effect in itself. Compared with the painful effect of smoking, this good effect may be too small in most cases, but it will give individuals the temptation to continue smoking. However, if the dose is not increased, this pleasant effect will gradually become difficult to obtain.

If the habit of smoking is the main reason for its habit, then you should try to find other sources of pleasure, for example, some delicious food, some music or some pornographic actions.

The genetic component: Not everyone depends on nicotine equally easily. Some factors are not fully understood, making some people more addicted than others. Maybe some people's receptors on nerve cells are more easily triggered by nicotine than others, or maybe some people have stronger nicotine triggering ability, which is inherited by the genetic code.

The nervous mechanisms working by addiction: A normal brain has signaling substances that have a calming effect on nerve cells and substances that have a stimulating effect on nerve cells. Like most narcotic substances, nicotine acts as a signaling substance by adapting to receptors in certain brain cells.

Nicotine attaches itself to certain receptors, so that nerve cells with these receptors produce signals. Cells that receive this signal from nicotine will respond by secreting another signaling substance, dopamine, which affects other cells.

Dopamine calms certain brain cells and stimulates other brain cells, and the overall effect of this action is the pleasant effect of smoking. However, when nicotine steadily induces a dopamine release, when nicotine is not present, the brain will gradually reduce the production of dopamine, and the brain will gradually feel a steady demand for nicotine to work properly and feel good.
