Tobacco Addiction & How to Beat It
It's tempting to believe that quitting tobacco is simply a state of mind—that if you want to quit badly enough, all you need is willpower.
For sure, willpower, desire, commitment, and determination all matter. But tobacco dependence is an addiction. Withdrawal symptoms can be very uncomfortable and quite powerful. Cravings can come on suddenly and feel irresistible.

Tobacco use actually changes the chemistry in your brain. So, when you decide to quit and change your habits, it can feel like your body just isn't cooperating.
