  Over 95% of people who quit nicotine without help return to the habit within 6 months. How could that be, when the true nicotine physical addiction wears off after just 3 to 4 days? It boils back to the fact that nicotine is a short-term stimulant, but a long-term depressant. Plus, much of the addiction is based on psychological stimulation that stems from physical habits and "rituals." You see, dopamine is created in the brain, even when you just think about a cigarette, or vaping, or sex, or even your favorite food. So when smokers are trying to quit, there's a chemical messenger war that's going on in their brain that's physical and mental, and the triggers can become unforgiving, if not followed by the drug. Let's elaborate.   Behavior rituals keep smokers addicted, beyond the 4 day physical nicotine addiction. Most smokers love packing that pack on their hand, tapping the cigarette on its end, and dangling it from their lips while putting off lighti

Whether your lips are tugging on electronic cigs or cigarettes, the complaints are always the same about the nicotine damage being done to your body, your mind and your senses. Respiratory problems creep in slowly, even for those suffering from secondhand exposure, and that’s a scientific fact. Then, blood pressure is always a problem, even if the doctors don’t catch it early, it’s there, building up like a volcano. M.D.s call those problems “abnormalities,” and those so-called irregularities can walk you by the drug-addiction-leash down a dark corridor, to pneumonia, seizures and even death. By the way, nicotine is the third-most-addictive drug on Earth, right behind cocaine and heroin, so don’t feel so bad if you’ve been planning on quitting for months or years. After long term use though, you can’t think straight for long, can’t breathe in deeply, forget things easily, lose some eyesight and hearing along the way, and oh, that sense of smell. What’s even worse than that? Over time,

KRAVE KICKER is backed by clinical studies  –  Dopamine is the feel good chemical our body creates naturally for reward and motivation. In a clinical study at Baylor Medical College in Texas,   researchers discovered low dopamine levels   are the main reason smokers relapse when trying to quit – because dopamine is   released when smoking   due to the drug nicotine. Over time, the   addiction hijacks your motivation system . Krave Kicker solves that worldwide problem, naturally. KRAVE KICKER  is backed by  peer-reviewed scientific research  published in the  British Medical Journal  and  National Institutes of Health  show mucuna helps people with  notoriously low dopamine levels  raise them naturally, including Parkinson’s patients and smokers. Mucuna boosts memory, focus, and it catapults your natural feel good hormone production safely, without nicotine. KRAVE KICKER  contains  top quality mucuna pruriens  – also known as a  superfood nootropic , that are known to help with sugar cr

Vaping is taking off in the teen world, as most of them think it's less health-damaging than cigarettes, and they're right. Problem is, they're all still addicted to nicotine, the world's 3rd most addictive drug, that constricts blood vessels, limiting oxygen and nutrient transport throughout the body. Guess what that means? Lower immune system function. Yes, a new study links vaping to a " substantially increased risk " of not only catching covid, but having a worse case of it when and if they do. Over 4,000 participants of a national sample studied by Stanford researchers found vape enthusiasts 7 times more likely to become infected with novel coronavirus compared to people who don't vape. Ouch. Age does not protect these teens when their blood isn't carrying the proper amount of oxygen and nutrients What researchers fail to mention is that the worst part of immune compromised systems starts and ends with poor nutrition. So even if these vapin

Nicotine is a short term stimulant, so there’s an immediate “reward” for using nicotine, and that’s called dopamine surge. In the 1960s, the most popular and successful brands of cigarettes were manufactured by mixing ammonia with the tobacco to “free-base” the nicotine, turning it into a vapor-ready form. This greatly increased their market share, so drastically, they nearly ran all the other cancer stick makers out of business in just a few years. Prior to the use of ammonia, nicotine came into the lungs on tobacco particles, so it absorbed into the bloodstream slowly through tissue, and then finally started to “kick in” after a few minutes. Conversely, using the free-base method, the nicotine enters the lungs as a vapor and thus gets processed immediately, reaching the heart and brain within three seconds. That quick “nic fix” secret formula made Big Tobacco kings a fortune, like Marlboro, while strengthening the nicotine addiction ten times over. They got  busted in court

Are you ready to do the 5-step “nic” quit? It’s easy. It’s scientifically proven to help you kick the cravings for nicotine without any drugs or chemical prescriptions. In America, there are 35 million smokers, 10 million vape connoisseurs, plus over 5 million smokeless tobacco users (think chew or dip). That’s 50 million people in this country alone who have a “nic fit” every 20 to 40 minutes, and simply must get their fix to remove the nicotine hangover when the previous drag wears off. Yes it’s a vicious cycle, but that fire can be extinguished, and it’s not as difficult as people might think. In fact, it’s rather easy, if you know the 5 steps, but if you don’t, you may remain a user for years, even decades. Are you one of them? One day soon you’ll try to quit, again. You’ll want to quit, but will you know how? There are some really bad choices out there for “quit methods” and there are some sensible, natural ones. Nothing, though, works as well as the 5-Day, 5-Step Nic

Most people who smoke, vape, dip or chew have no clue that long term use of nicotine impairs their body’s ability to produce dopamine properly, leaving them to rely solely on the world’s third most addictive drug to artificially stimulate that feel good hormone. Currently, there are over a billion tobacco users worldwide, and that number is creeping upward ominously, expecting to double over the next 3 decades. Then you have millions of people who use nicotine all day, every day. It gets worse. Nicotine kills over 6 million people a year, about that same number is representative of  Jews who died in the Holocaust  at the hands of the Nazis. That’s also the population of the whole state of Maryland or Wisconsin. Picture that in your mind’s eye. It’s also a scientific fact that  nicotine use lowers immunity , setting users up for infections from bacteria and viruses. So what’s it take to quit nicotine? The physical addiction of nicotine only lasts 4 days, but the behavioral habit

There are dead smokers rolling over in their graves right now, wishing there had been a natural remedy they knew about back when they were going through a pack or two a day and wanted to quit, or even tried. Most cancers are preventable, entirely. There’s no magic wand, of course, but if you filter out most of the known toxins, you most likely will not end up a statistic on a government chart. In fact, over 500 studies prove  nicotine is a potent carcinogen  and the leading cause of preventable cancers, still 1.25 billion tobacco users world-wide can’t seem to quit. Maybe they just don’t know how to kick the cravings for that dopamine rush they indulge every 20 to 40 minutes. Plus, more than 95 percent of nicotine users who try to quit without help will return to their cancer crutch within six months. The number one excuse for not quitting? “I’m planning to, but I’m just too stressed out right now.” Well, duh? Guess what? It’s the nicotine that has you so stressed out
