If your teenager is anything like other teenagers, they have almost every moment of their day mapped out. Even if they like keeping busy or are participating in activities that they like, it can still be a source of stress for them. Help them to manage their activities so that stress works for them instead of against them.

What is stress anyway? It is our response to various situations in our lives. There is such a thing as good stress or “eustress.” A looming deadline can spur us into action to come up with something terrific for that term paper. Anxiety over public speaking can lead to long practice sessions to get the speech just right.

On the other hand, there is also stress that can lead to bad results. Worry or fear can immobilize you. It carries symptoms like loss of appetite, weight loss, weight gain, stomach aches and loss of sleep to name a few. These situations demonstrate a lack of coping skills.

Nicotine is the addictive drug that is actually added to tobacco in order to increase the recurrence sales of cigarettes and tobacco. Nicotine will change the way in which the brain works in order to make people want to use it more and more.

In addition, there are unpleasant withdrawal symptoms that happened to individuals who stop using nicotine altogether. In other words, there are good feelings when nicotine is present and bad feelings when it goes, which makes breaking the addiction very difficult. Historically, nicotine has been one of the hardest addictions to break for individuals.

In 1988 the Surgeon General reported that cigarettes and other forms of tobacco were addicting and that the nicotine was the drug that caused the addiction. This report also came to the conclusion that pharmacological and behavioral characteristics were similar to those of drugs such as heroin and cocaine.

People who smoke are faced each day with the recognition that their smelly habit isn’t pleasant for the people around them, that it is dangerous for their long-term health and that the rest of the world would prefer that they quit. What once was helped to relieve anxiety and stress now becomes the root of anxiety and stress in their lives. This continues until one day there is a recognition that something must change and the smoker decides to quit.

It is at this stage that they must decide HOW they are going to quit. There are several methods and support programs available today that can help a person to stop smoking. One that has shown significant promise is the medication Chantix (varenicline) which is an oral medication that theoretically works by blocking the effect of nicotine on the brain. The manufacturer states that it may make it easier for some smokers to stop smoking, although people continue to require persistence and commitment to the goal.
