yes.
first, having a strong health reason to quit.
second, the nicotine relationship to its receptor (where it hits inthe brain) is a bit complex. Overstimulation of the target weakens what the target does... less happens with the nicotine receptor when it is whacked by a nicotine hit. BUT the number of receptors goes up to compensate... so.. BIG withdrawal.. BIG effect of First Cigarette.
Therefore, nicotine replacement and gradually decreasing it......
will NOT be the entire problem. CUES that trigger thoughts of smoking. gosh, out of space... a directed question to me I have a custom webpage for Just YouR Answer! send that inquiry through this site to me for the rest of the answe
