Quit Tobacco Programme

The Quitters Win program for quitting tobacco

The Problem

Why is quitting tobacco and staying quit hard for so many people?

The answer is nicotine. Nicotine is the active ingredient in tobacco responsible for the initial pleasurable sensation. It’s highly addictive -- as addictive as heroin or cocaine.

The nicotine trap

Nicotine produces pleasant feelings that make the smoker smoke more. After a while, the body gets used to nicotine & the tobacco user’s normal functioning becomes dependent on having a particular amount of nicotine in the body.

Withdrawal

When smokers try to cut back or quit, the lack of nicotine leads to withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal is both physical and mental. Physically, the body reacts to the absence of nicotine. Mentally, the smoker is faced with giving up a habit, which calls for a major change in behavior. Both must be addressed in order for the quitting process to work."
