Cigarettes are continually classified as one of the most difficult addictions to quit. That is due at least in part to the fact that there are several distinct components to cigarette addiction including:
- The nicotine which sets up a craving in the brain.
- The physical act of continually lifting the cigarette to the mouth to inhale.
- And the fact that many use cigarettes as a type of emotional crutch, reaching for a smoke in times of stress or uncertainty.
That’s a lot to leave behind all at once, which explains why so few are able to quit cigarettes “cold turkey” and stay quit.
What’s left unsaid in all of that, however, is that along with the nicotine which enters the bloodstream through the lungs, tar left over from burning the tobacco, also enters the lung. The difference between the two is that the tar stays there mucking up the cilia that line the lungs and exposing the smoker to a variety of health threats, including lung cancer.
NicoBloc creates an effective tar filter for cigarettes that blocks cigarette tar from entering the lungs. Over time, because new deposits of tar are not being made into the smoker's lungs every day, they will begin to feel better. This healthier feeling, combined with the reduced cravings resulting from NicoBloc blocking nicotine as well, can make it much easier for the smoker to eventually walk away from smoking entirely.
