An important point, Kevin!  It concerns me that highly effective marketing associated with a host of new vastly cleaner nicotine delivery devices will tease the still challenged new quitters into thinking that they can have keep their cake while eating it too.  What they're not considering is that once they've relapsed that it will not measure up to the massive bolus of nicotine that arrived within seconds of smoking burning tobacco, nor will the satisfaction of dopamine pathway wanting last nearly as long. 

There is some still unknown chemicals in burning cigarettes that inhibit MAO A and MAO B, two dopamine clean-up enzymes.  It's thought that diminished MAO may be what make smoked nicotine's satisfaction of wanting last longer than cocaines and vastly longer than the relief felt between potato chips.

There is only one path to retiring dependency's daily urges and craves and arriving here on Easy Street with us hundreds of millions of comfortable ex-users,   no nicotine today!!!!  Nicotine addiction is about living a lie.  Let "one day at a time" carry you to truth!  Yes you can!!

Breathe deep, hug hard, live long,
