With all the stop smoking aids and programs available to help smokers quit, and all the nicotine replacement products to help people get off of their nicotine addiction gradually in order to reduce their withdrawal symptoms, why are so many people still unable to quit smoking?

Due to the way nicotine affects the brain, dopamine is released, and that leads to the smoker feeling pleasure. However, nicotine also causes a decrease in an enzyme that is responsible for breaking down dopamine.

This is a strong psychological reason for why people can’t [don’t want to] quit smoking, but it may be secondary to nicotine and how smoking affects your weight. When you smoke nicotine causes insulin release to be decreased. As insulin is a hormone that keeps your blood from having excess sugar in it, when it is inhibited from acting, the result can be an increase in the blood sugar level and hyperglycemia – and this becomes an appetite suppressant which not keeps the smoker from gaining weight, it may actually help them lose weight.
