Tobacco addiction

Tobacco addiction is a dependence on nicotine, a chemical found in tobacco products. When used, nicotine quickly reaches the brain, producing feelings of pleasure and relaxation. This leads to repeated use, as the brain begins to crave those sensations. Over time, the body adapts, requiring more tobacco to achieve the same effects, leading to increased consumption. Withdrawal symptoms, such as irritability and cravings, can make quitting difficult. Tobacco use is linked to serious health issues, including cancer and heart disease, making understanding and overcoming addiction important for overall well-being.
