Quit-Nic

What do you mean quit? Like, forever?

Quitting a habit can be very difficult. Quitting a habit that has a physically and psychologically addictive substance involved can seem not only difficult, but impossible. Nicotine addicts and users also face varying levels of public acceptance, and even direct marketing techniques, both designed to keep users from quitting. However, quitting nicotine is not only possible, but relatively easy.

What’s the big deal?

Let’s start with some brass tacks. As you probably know, use of tobacco in the United States has seen a steady decline in the last few decades. However, tobacco use is still prevalent, and in fact, nicotine addiction is again on the rise.

As bad as what?

Leave a Comment Maybe you’re old enough to remember when the phrase “Nicotine is just as addictive as heroin” was first used. Maybe not. But chances are you’ve heard it. While this statement, when taken literally, is backed up by countless scientific studies, it is misleading when it comes to quitting. The phrase became popular after a New York Times article published in 1987.
