Case Study
Barack Obama
President Obama struggled to quit smoking during
his 2008 campaign. He had taken up the habit as a
teenager and didn’t successfully kick it until 2011,
according to reports from the White House and
Obama’s personal physician. Although he was
finally able to quit, it wasn’t easy. The president has
acknowledged that he still gets the urge to smoke
now and then and that he sometimes chews
nicotine gum to help quell the craving.
Case study II
Laura is a 51 year old healthy mother of two
adopted boys and a former cigarette smoker. Laura
smoked for 30 years. During that time she
attempted to quit several times and succeeded
once for two years. Laura quits 4 years ago and
since then has been using nicotine gum. This case
study tells about how she managed to quit
smoking
How Smoking works and Why It’s Hard to
Stop
Smoking affects mainly the function of the brain
Just 10 seconds after smoking a cigarette, nicotine is absorbed and
travels through the bloodstream to the brain. It stimulates adrenal
glands to produce epinephrine, a hormone and neurotransmitter you
also know as adrenaline. This increases heart rate and blood pressure
while constricting blood vessels; it also stimulates the production of
dopamine, a neurotransmitter that controls the brain's pleasure center
Why is it so hard to quit smoking?
Stopping or cutting back on tobacco causes symptoms of
nicotine withdrawal. Withdrawal is both physical and
mental. Physically, your body is reacting to the absence of
nicotine. Mentally, you are faced with giving up a habit,
which calls for a major change in behavior. Emotionally, you
might feel like as if you’ve lost your best friend.
•Dizziness
•Depression
•Frustration and anger
•Anxiety
•Irritability
•Trouble sleeping,
•Trouble concentrating
•Restlessness or boredom
•Headaches
•Tiredness
•Increased appetite
•Weight gain
•Slower heart rate
•Cough, dry mouth, sore
throat
•Chest tightness
Nicotine withdrawal symptoms can include any of
the following:

Conclusion
• It is easy to become a smoker, but it is difficult to quit.
• If you are not started till now, a vow not to light your first
cigarette at any time in your life.
• If you are smoker, never to touch the next cigarette, and
avoid the company of your friends who still smokers.
• Never again light a cigarette for your entire lifetime,
because the difference between a chain smoker and
occasional is too thin to cross.
Thank You
