How to Quit Smoking in the Shortest Time Possible!
The substance in cigarettes that is responsible for addiction is called nicotine which is an exctitatory (promotes transmission at synapses) substance that causes your brain's dopamine levels to temporarily increase.
Once your body gets used to these increased levels of dopamine it starts to produce less dopamine on its own and therefore when you quit you will have a dopamine imbalance which can result in many unpleasant side effects perceived as the withdrawal.
I have struggled with many symptoms as I tried to taper off smoking including depression, insomnia, anxiety and aggressiveness.
I was really struggling and so I decided to test many of the both traditional and controversial methods that should help one quit smoking for good.
Not all of them were very successful, but some truly stood up to their promises and those were: 1.
