"Smoking is just a choice the first time. After just a few cigarettes, addiction to nicotine can happen quickly. It changes the chemical balance in your brain. Smoking may seem like it is just a choice or a habit, but most people who use tobacco are addicted. Breaking nicotine addiction is harder for some people than others, and quitting can take several tries. But do not give up. If you need help to quit, ask your doctor about nicotine replacement, medicines, or coaching."
