How do you get over tobacco addiction?Laser auriculotherapy to stop smoking.
Smoking is a scourge that affects millions of people in France and around the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cigarette smoking is responsible for over 8 million deaths every year, including around 75,000 in France.
Every smoker exposes himself to major health risks, from lung cancer to cardiovascular disease and chronic respiratory disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Despite these well-known dangers,quitting smoking remains a difficult ordeal for many people because of the strong physical and psychological dependence induced by nicotine.
Tobacco dependence is a complex addiction based on three main components:
Physical dependence due to nicotine, which acts on the brain by stimulating the release of dopamine, creating an immediate sensation of pleasure. Lack of nicotine then leads to withdrawal effects such as irritability, anxiety, sleep disorders and increased appetite.
Psychological dependence, where the smoker associates cigarettes with specific situations: moments of stress, breaks at work, pleasure after a meal.
A behavioral addiction, where smoking becomes an automatic ritual, anchored in daily life and difficult to break.
The risks of smoking: an underestimated danger!
Cigarette smoking is not a harmless habit. On average, a regular smoker loses 10 to 15 years of life expectancy compared with a non-smoker. According to Santé Publique France, one cancer in three is directly linked to smoking, making it the leading cause of avoidable death in France.
Smoking is the cause of many serious diseases:
Cancers: lung, throat, esophagus, bladder, pancreas… Tobacco contains over 70 carcinogenic substances.
Cardiovascular diseases: myocardial infarction, high blood pressure, stroke… Cigarette smoke damages blood vessels and promotes blood clots.
Respiratory disorders: COPD is a lung disease that progressively reduces breathing capacity.
