How to Quit Smoking
Medically, what causes dependence on smoke is nicotine, a chemical that makes
our body and brain dependent. Smoking produces nicotine receptors in ours cells.
Once these receptors are expressed, they need nicotine to keep them calm. So
when a smoker stops smoking, his body starts to crave nicotine and cigarettes.
