Tobacco Use Disorder

 

You are hooked on tobacco if you have a tobacco use disorder. You struggle to stop using cigarettes if you have a tobacco use disorder. The substance nicotine is found in tobacco. Nicotine makes you feel better quickly, which makes it addicting. This increases your desire to use it and makes it difficult for you to cut back, despite the fact that you know you must. You could become more dependent on tobacco products if you use them for a longer period of time.  Because tobacco use creates withdrawal symptoms, quitting is difficult. These responses include agitation and anxiety. However, it’s critical to be aware of the dangers of tobacco use disorder. 

 

Introduction:

 

A particular class of stimulant found in tobacco products is nicotine. Tobacco use disorder sets in when your body adjusts to having some level of nicotine in your bloodstream. Your body “depends” on the chemicals continually being there in both physical and psychological ways.

• When you have physical dependence, your system needs nicotine to prevent the effects of withdrawal, or the uncomfortable emotions you experience when you stop using it. Agitation and restlessness are symptoms.
• Psychological dependence is the belief that you must use nicotine to get through the day because it is ingrained in your routine.

Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. It is referred to as tobacco use disorder when your body requires nicotine for either physiological or psychological reasons. When the wonderful feeling passes, you frequently yearn for more. Nicotine use can potentially develop into a habit. For instance, if you’re accustomed to lighting up a cigarette as soon as you wake up each morning, doing so becomes part of your habit. When your body becomes accustomed to nicotine and the feelings it produces, you develop a tobacco use disorder. Nicotine is extremely addictive because it disrupts the reward systems in your brain.
