Nicotine Dependence Syndrome

Nicotine Dependence Syndrome is a condition where a person becomes physically and psychologically addicted to nicotine, a substance found in tobacco. Repeated use of tobacco products leads to changes in the brain, making it difficult to quit despite awareness of health risks. The person may experience cravings, irritability, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating when they try to stop. This dependence develops gradually and involves both physical withdrawal symptoms and emotional habits, making quitting challenging without support or treatment. Overall, it's a recognized health condition requiring understanding and often professional help to overcome.
