Nicotine addiction returns despite alternative cigarettes?
Hey! I quit smoking about two months ago. The first few weeks were pretty difficult, and then after five or six weeks, I hit a difficult phase, so I bought nicotine-free herbal cigarettes to avoid relapsing. Unfortunately, they didn't help much and just reminded me how much better tobacco is. 😀 So I stopped smoking them. Unfortunately, since then, my craving for regular cigarettes has gotten a lot stronger again… How can that be? I haven't even been feeding my nicotine addiction memory. Is that possible?

It seems enough to trigger it. Nicotine doesn’t need to do it, just behavior itself.

Well, it’s probably the smoke in general, and nicotine is by far not the only thing that makes cigarettes harmful…
Hello Peter,
I didn’t really understand the meaning of your action…
What was your intention to stop smoking?
If you wanted to meet your health, you have counteracted it with the use of herbal cigarettes.
Herbal cigarettes are no less harmful compared to conventional cigarettes.
The pollutants are primarily caused by combustion. It is not the tobacco and it is also not the nicotine that actually has more positive properties than negative.
There is no nicotine dependence either. It’s a tobacco dependency. Nicotine does not addict as long as you do not artificially change the mode of action of nicotine. This is exactly what happens in cigarettes or in all tobacco products. The industry adds thousands of different ingredients to the tobacco. There are also various search amplifiers. These effect a change in the mode of action of nicotine.
A dependency built up by smoking is not completely over, only because you no longer feel it active or predicament. Even months, sometimes even years later, it can still lead to withdrawal symptoms.
This dependence is expressed both physically and mentally.
With the consumption of these herbal cigarettes, you have returned your actually more or less overcome dependence to the foreground.
As an alternative without having to worry about falling back, without damaging your health again and finally coming down from the withdrawal symptoms, you could add an e-cigarette. It is evaporated. Nothing is burned and since the mode of action of nicotine is not touched, your dependency is even gradually degraded, despite the use of nicotine. Similar processes can also be seen in NET products, e.g. nicotine sprays.
A tobacco-dependent smoker, which descends on e-cigarettes, can, provided a nicotine liquid adapted to the e-cigarette is used, completely change without withdrawal symptoms. The withdrawal symptoms are eliminated completely when the quantity of nicotine is adapted to the consumption of the e-cigarette.
E-cigarettes, since no combustion occurs, do not damage. At some point, you could easily reduce the nicotine, theoretically to zero.
Of course you can try again without help. In any case, I wish you a lot of success.
Good to you… and stay healthy.
