Drug addiction is about an external chemical fooling the brain into believing that that next fix is as important as eating. Whipped by insula driven urges, craves and anxieties, rewarded by dopamine flow during nicotine use anticipation or its actual arrival, the brain's species survival event pay-attention pathways are functioning as designed. Food craves, nicotine craves, food "aaah" sensations, nicotine "aaah"s. The only problem is that without nicotine our species thrives and without food, water or reproduction it dies. Yes, drug addiction is about living a lie. There's just one rule that if followed allows us to see the light and reveal the lie ... no nicotine today!
