What is Tobacco Use Disorder

Tobacco use disorder results from addiction to nicotine in tobacco products, causing dependency and negative physical effects. Factors increasing the likelihood of nicotine addiction include age, genetics, parental influence, and mental illness.

Tobacco/Nicotine Withdrawal

Withdrawal symptoms occur after stopping nicotine use, peaking within the first few days and gradually fading within 30 days. Symptoms include concentration problems, anxiety, headaches, weight gain, slower heart rate, sleep difficulties, agitation, depression, and substance use.
