Tobacco Dependence
Tobacco dependence is continued tobacco use driven by nicotine adaptation, cravings and learned cues despite harm or a wish to stop. It is treatable, and repeated quit attempts are common rather than evidence of failure.

Key points
- Withdrawal may cause cravings, irritability, low mood, poor concentration, appetite change and sleep disruption.
- A useful plan reviews all nicotine use, triggers, previous attempts, social support and the preferred goal and quit timing.
- Nicotine replacement, varenicline and bupropion work differently; seizures, pregnancy, kidney function, mood and interactions affect choice.
Catalogue matches do not select a cessation medicine or provide a safe personal quit plan.
Why does dependence persist?
Nicotine reaches brain reward pathways quickly, while repeated pairings with meals, stress or social situations create strong cues. Withdrawal changes over time, but environmental and emotional triggers can remain and need practical alternatives.
How can medicine support quitting?
Bupropion may reduce withdrawal and cravings for selected adults but is unsuitable with some seizure or eating-disorder risks. Medicine works alongside coaching, trigger planning and follow-up; see addiction recovery.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent help for suicidal thoughts, seizure, severe allergic reaction, chest pain or serious breathing difficulty. Promptly report marked mood or behavioural change after starting treatment.
