The Abnormality of Addiction of any Form

“Psychological and physiological dependence on a substance or practice” – is the medical definition of the term addiction. An addiction is an uncontrollably strong longing for something -  an abnormal kinky obsession for things.  A person with an addiction is called an addict.

Addiction is in fact a hydra-headed concept having different facets.  Medical researches and studies have divulged that every individual to some extent has an addiction.  People who have an uncanny pining or obsession for anything, are indeed addicted.  Medical studies have also revealed other forms of addiction besides alcohol, nicotine and drugs.

According to the medical community, generally there are two forms of addiction.  First there is the physical addiction, or physical dependence and psychological addiction. The second type is called pseudo-addiction.

Physical dependence: An addiction in which the addict becomes physically dependent on intoxicating substances or drugs.  People dependent on tobacco or smoking suffer from nicotine addiction.  Dipsomaniac people suffer from alcohol addiction.

Drug addiction literally means addiction to certain drugs.  A drug addiction is an extreme state of addiction resulting from drug abuse.  Drug abuse is a common practice where hard drugs are abused – for example cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, opiates (heroin, morphine and codeine) and laxatives – drugs derived from narcotics. There is a debate over the idea that freely-sold substances like alcohol and nicotine should be classified as hard drugs, as the both are linked with high mortality rates.

Psychological addiction: The term literally means getting psychologically addicted to certain things or practices. Sometimes there are people who are highly obsessed with practices like gambling, food, sex, pornography, computer, work, shopping, spending etc.  Therefore as absurd as this may sound, these people actually do in fact suffer from gambling addiction, food addiction, sex addiction, porn addiction, computer addiction, work addiction, shopping addiction, and spending addiction respectively.  People addicted to food consumption are highly preoccupied with overeating and overeating is food addiction. These people are sometimes mockingly dubbed as “food alcoholic”.  Narcissism is also a form of addiction.

Pseudo-addiction is the state in which a patient manifests drug-seeking behavior similar to psychological addiction; however, the patient experiences genuine pain or other symptoms in such cases.  Normal behavior is resumed as soon as the pain has subsided.

The physical dependence on a substance such as drug addiction, nicotine addiction and alcohol addiction can sadly often have direly fatal results.

An addiction in any form is the sign of an abnormality that requires immediate treatment. An addiction is a disorder, but it is treatable. There are numerous addiction help centers or rehabilitation centers providing addiction treatment, all over the world.  Standard drug addiction treatment may include behavioral therapy, medication therapy, or a combination of both.

People experiencing any symptoms of addiction should go forward for treatment before their addiction becomes significantly advanced.

A Critique of Nicotine Addiction $230.83 New – Nicotine is almost universally believed to be the major factor that motivates smoking and impedes cessation.

A Critique of Nicotine Addiction $239 Nicotine is almost universally believed to be the major factor that motivates smoking and impedes cessation. Authorities such as the Surgeon General of the USA and the Royal College of Physicians in the UK have declared that nicotine is as addictive as heroin and cocaine. This book is a critique of the nicotine addiction hypothesis, based on a critical review of the research literature that purports to prove that nicotine is as addictive drug. The review is based on a re-examination of more than 700 articles and books on this subject, including animal and human experimental studies, effects of ‘nicotine replacement therapies’, and many other relevant sources. This review concludes that on present evidence, there is every reason to reject the generally accepted theory that nicotine has a major role in cigarette smoking. A critical examination of the criteria for drug addiction demonstrates that none of these criteria is met by nicotine, and that it is much more likely that nicotine in fact limits rather than facilitates smoking.

Leading To A Smoke-Free Life, Steve, A Father’s Diary $9.9 Why do we smoke? That’s simple, we smoke because we get rewards from it; it relaxes us when we are stressed, it perks us up when we are down, it’s a social thing we can do with friends. Those are our rewards. Now here is the price we pay for rewards: Nicotine sucks the nitric oxide in our body causing face wrinkles, it destroys our arteries, it affects our kidneys, liver, brain, fertility, and sexuality. It is more addictive than heroin, and as toxic as cyanide. Plus we must inhale the smoke to get nicotine into our lungs and cigarette smoke is full of chemicals which cause cancer and tar which coats the membranes of our lungs causing COPD.The above was the reason for this book, documenting what Steve, a healthy, strong, hammer-swinging carpenter went through from the day that he discovered he had lung cancer from smoking, to the day he died two and a half years later. Readers become aware that lung cancer is not like a heart attack where you clutch your chest, fall down, and BAM you’re gone. No, lung cancer brags: “OK, you’ve had your fun smoking for 5, 10, 15, 20 years, now it’s my turn and I’m going to love watching you suffer while I am torturing you to death.” The majority of smokers who read this book, quit. Those who have considered taking that first puff decide not to, fulfilling the goal of the book “Leading to a Smoke-Free Life.”

The Compass of Pleasure: How Our Brains Make Fatty Foods, Orgasm, Exercise, Marijuana, Generosity, Vodka, Learning, and Gambling Feel So Good $16 A leading brain scientist’s look at the neurobiology of pleasure-and how pleasures can become addictions. Whether eating, taking drugs, engaging in sex, or doing good deeds, the pursuit of pleasure is a central drive of the human animal. In The Compass of Pleasure Johns Hopkins neuroscientist David J. Linden explains how pleasure affects us at the most fundamental level: in our brain.As he did in his award-winning book, The Accidental Mind, Linden combines cutting-edge science with entertaining anecdotes to illuminate the source of the behaviors that can lead us to ecstasy but that can easily become compulsive. Why are drugs like nicotine and heroin addictive while LSD is not? Why has the search for safe appetite suppressants been such a disappointment? The Compass of Pleasure concludes with a provocative consideration of pleasure in the future, when it may be possible to activate our pleasure circuits at will and in entirely novel patterns.

Thinking Simply About Addiction: A Handbook for Recovery $0.25 This profound yet practical guide by a veteran recovery professional goes further than any other book in pinpointing why addictions are so tenacious, how we all suffer from them to a greater or lesser extent, and the true, time-tested steps toward freeing yourself.No social problem today causes greater confusion than addiction. Whatever form it takes—alcohol, heroin, cocaine, nicotine, etc.—it tears apart homes and relationships, destroys careers and futures, and leaves loved ones asking: Why couldn’t he stop once and for all? Or “get better”? Or control himself?Despite everything that’s been said and written, many people remain deeply confounded about these problems. The addiction-treatment field itself is in a state of civil war because there is no consensus on what addiction is, much less what to do about it.Based on years of hard-won experience by a preeminent specialist in addictive behavior, Thinking Simply About Addiction explains the core truth of addiction: It is not a neurosis, a physical malady, a behavioral choice, or, in the narrowest sense, a moral failure. It is an “automatism”—an involuntary, non-stoppable behavior that once triggered leaves the addict powerless. It is a human problem and a part of human nature. As such, it is something that we all experience.In four to-the-point chapters, Thinking Simply About Addiction rises above the noise level and provides real-world help and new ways of thinking for addicts and those who care for them. Its insights are so profoundly clear and sensible that many readers will be able to say: Finally, someone gets it.

This is Nicotine $1.49 The growth of a drug culture has been so powerful that it is now part of everyday news in the Western World. Whether it is a drug seizure by police forces, the tragic death of a teenager experimenting for the first time in a club, or, the damning drink-driving statistics seen each Christmas, we see the images, but do we understand the reality?In this powerful and illuminating news series, we commission a team of journalists to analyze and comment on the major substances that are seen by society as addictive and ultimately bad for our health. We discuss their histories, how they spread in our society, what health concerns they bring up, and what people actually think of them.Packed with technical information, quotes from experts and users, illustrations to show the effect they have on the body, as well as the symptoms and consequences. Addiction will portray the true picture, meeting the huge demand for information from parents, anxious to know the dangers to their child’s health, and authorities who want a reality check on the drug situation in their societies.

Valuing the Cost of Smoking $172.63 The economic analysis of tobacco consumption is a complex and challenging issue, which entails addressing many different questions: What is the economic burden of smoking and do smokers pay their way’?How do individuals perceive their own health risks?What is the effect of the addictive properties of nicotine on the behavior of a rational, utility-maximizing individual? What is the most effective way to discourage tobacco consumption? In this context, the assessment of the social burden of smoking using a cost-of-illness framework has played a central role since the beginning of the 1970s. Interest in this type of study has grown even more in the wake of the lawsuits brought by American states against the tobacco companies with the aim of recovering excessive medical costs resulting from smoking-related diseases. Economists argue that there is no need for government intervention on condition that smokers receive accurate information about the health hazards – including the risk of addiction – and that they bear all the costs of smoking themselves. Economists agree on this last point: smokers bear most if not all of the economic costs of tobacco consumption. Moreover, a better understanding of the determinants of smoking and of the public perception of the risks of smoking could help decision-makers to improve the design of tobacco control policies.The purpose of Valuing the Cost of Smoking is to review the various methods used to value the adverse health outcomes of smoking, from the standard human capital approach to the new preference-based methods with which intangibles can be assessed. This volume should also help understand better the behavior of smokers as well as the factors thatdetermine the demand for cigarettes. Finally, the volume contains a review of the scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of taxes in reducing tobacco use.
