Smoking Cessation Consultation
LLLT Smoking Cessation
When you smoke a cigarette, natural chemicals in your body,called endorphins, immediately signal your brain to make you think you feelbetter. Nicotine addiction alters the normal endorphin cycle in your body soyou have a hard time feeling good without the use of nicotine, whether it isfrom cigarettes, dip, chew, cigars or pipes. As you know, the effects ofnicotine wear off quickly (usually 1 to 2 hours). As time goes by, endorphinlevels in your body drop far below normal, and you begin to feel extremelyirritable, upset, stressed, fatigued, and anxious for another cigarette. Afteryou inhale again, endorphin levels are raised back up to a point where you feelbetter. This continues on and on and on in a never ending cycle. This is your nicotine addiction and this iswhy it is difficult to quit smoking or dipping.
