People have been using tobacco in a variety of forms for centuries.
Remarkably, it was originally seen as something that could promote
vigor and health. Of course, now we all know that tobacco use
causes death and disability in epidemic proportions. If smoking is
so bad for us, why in heaven’s name would anyone still smoke?
Quite a bit has changed since tobacco first made the transition to
a widely available agricultural product. Unfortunately, the general
clinical approach to addressing this problem has failed to keep
pace with tobacco technology and its addictive properties. People
around the world who have fallen prey to the subtleties of nicotine
addiction, or who care for those who have, would benefit from a
deeper understanding of the ways in which nicotine can affect the
brain’s function and change behaviors over a lifetime. Why People
Smoke breaks down the science of tobacco dependence and presents it
in a way that is both easily understandable and clinically useful
for anyone interested in helping people break free of nicotine’s
influence. Why People Smoke is a first-of-its-kind clinical guide
to treating tobacco dependence. The book helps readers make
meaningful connections between tobacco’s effects at the cellular
level, the predictable behavioral manifestations of the disorder,
and the social science and systems requirements required to make a
fundamental impact on this disorder. Unlike previous publications
like self-help books, step-by-step curricula, or clinical
guidelines, Why People Smoke puts practical clinical
insights—gained from twenty-five years of practice—into
perspective, helping the reader understand how “brain change”
translates into “mind change” and the persistent compulsion to
smoke . . . despite a person’s desperate desire to stop. Reading
Why People Smoke will change the way you see smoking forever.
