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?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.Unlike previous publications like self-help books, step-bystep 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.
