memory of nicotine stays in your brain?

Iwin, This is very much a logical explanation. To add to the memory of the nicotine in our brains, could it be the habit embedded as well? Take Care, Melanie _____________________ The SSC Support Team

Iwin, I think Golferman had an excellent description of this in one of his threads, and I think it is about the "nicotine receptors" in our brains never ever forget the nicotine. Is there anyone that remembers that particular thread, and could you bump it if possible? I can't seem to put my finger on it.

So even though nicotine is out of your system after 3 days is the reason we still want a cigarette after even 31 or even 50 days is because the memory of nicotine stays in our brains?

What I mean is that when it happens, you can give in to it and then note it as a slip, which is not good, or let the craving go, conquer another smoker's situation by a nonsmoker's attitude and be proud ;)

I think it's maybe the habit associated with stuff we do - it's likely that you'll crave for a ciggie after - say - 100 days when you are in a situation that you haven't yet experienced as a non-smoker, and the memory that asks for the ciggie is not nicotine-related - it's only the psychological "bond" you had with smoking at various (for some, all) times of your life.

Hi, Iwin. I've bumped [i]Rewards, nicotine, and the brain[/i] for you. It explains how nicotine affects the brain and what happens after it's stopped.
