Tobacco contains nicotine, a highly addictive substance that acts on brain receptors. When youstop, your body suffers withdrawal symptoms: irritability, nervousness, sleep disorders, compulsive cigarette cravings.
Without medication or substitutes, these effects can compromise your withdrawal. Treatments exist precisely to reduce these symptoms, make it easier to cut down on consumption and offer greater comfort during the first few weeks.
