Challenges to the Success of Smoking Cessation
If you are a smoker, then you have developed a nicotine addiction. As a result any effort that you put-out, in order to achieve smoking cessation, can require the leaping of a number of barriers. Two hours after you finish your last cigarette, you can expect to undergo noticeable mood changes. Such mood changes could well cause you to have trouble with the performance of everyday tasks. Addiction to nicotine gives rise to physiological changes, changes that could alter the mood changes and performance ability of you the smoker. If you have given thought to abandoning your habit, you might want to take a self survey. By assessing the results of such a survey, you can know for sure whether or not you are addicted to nicotine.You should consider these questions: Do you smoke every day?

Groups that hope to free smokers from their dependence on nicotine have focused on that addiction. Way back in July of 1989, the American Lung Association sponsored a national Non-dependence Day.

Niccine: a new approach to quit smoking This is a different approach to the quit smoking problem similiar to by the drug maker Pfizer’s Chantix
Swedish anti-nicotine vaccine to be tested in Nordic countries “A Swedish vaccine against nicotine will be tested on 400 people in three Nordic countries,” Heavy smokers who would like to quit, will get counselling along with the new drug, initial test will run for 4 months.
Niccine is supposed to help the immune system build antibodies against nicotine. Interesting approach to the problem: Niccine will latch onto the incoming nicotine and preventing it from reaching the brain’s reward system, thereby preventing the smoker from getting that addictive smoking “kick” or hit.
Niccine, has been developed over the course of 10 years by Swedish researchers at the Karolinska Institute, under the guidance of professor Torgny Svensson who founded Independent Pharmaceutica.
