What is Nicotine Dependence?

Nicotine Dependence is a condition in which a person is physically and/or psychologically dependent on nicotine, either through smoking or other means. It can lead to an increase in nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms when nicotine is not available.

Why do adolescents become nicotine dependent?

What are the health risks of nicotine dependence?

Nicotine dependence can lead to an increased risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and other serious health problems. It can also lead to symptoms such as mood swings, difficulty concentrating, and weight gain.

How can adolescents quit nicotine?

Quitting nicotine can be challenging but there are a variety of treatments and therapies available for adolescents that can help them quit, such as counseling, nicotine replacement therapy, and medications.
