Smoking Drug Withdrawal


For a detailed explanation of this at whyfiles.org These brain slices show levels of the "killjoy" enzyme MAO B in the brains of two people. The non-smoker at the top has plenty of MAO B, but the smoker at bottom has much less -- a sign that something in cigarette smoke is destroying MAO B, allowing the pleasure chemical dopamine to tell the body it likes smoking and wants to continue.
What all this information says is of the 4000 or more chemicals in cigarette smoke there is something else other than nicotine that makes withdrawal even harder and something might be needed to lessen the shock of drug withdrawal. Idefinitely believe that is what is working for me.
