Nicotine addiction

Gain Awareness of the Environmental Triggers for Tobacco Use

In addition to the physical addiction to nicotine evidenced in consumers of tobacco products, there are also psychosocial cues to engage in the consumption of tobacco that the user must overcome. Some examples of these are drinking coffee, commuting to work, attempting to relieve stress and passing idle time. While it takes a relatively short period of time to overcome the physical addiction to nicotine, overcoming these triggers to use tobacco may take a lifetime. Essentially, the decision to stop using tobacco must be accompanied by a lifestyle change. New behaviors must be developed to replace old ones, and the individual overcoming the addiction must have a constant awareness of his or her environmental triggers to use tobacco. Support groups and/or treatment programs are often necessary to overcome this lethal addiction.
