Scientists have proven that the first three months after quitting cigarettes play an important role. During this time dopamine levels in the body returning to normal.
Dopamine is a chemical produced by using neurons to send signals to other nerve cells. The processes occurring in the human body after the rejection of bad habits are the consequence of chronic Smoking is not a risk factor. To this conclusion came a group of German researchers.
In the future these results may help in the development of certain procedures for passive smokers. The main task of scientists in this work was to understand why one group of people suffering from nicotine addiction, while another brand would not be affected. Leading professional Lena Rademacher from the University Lubuska tried to figure it out. Together with her team she tried to estimate the index of the production of dopamine, using the technique of visualization of the human brain. The volunteers were 15 healthy people and 30 smokers.
In the first test, scientists have documented a 15-20% reduction in capacity, causing the production of dopamine in people with addiction. The results showed that the function of synthesis of chemical substances will be back to normal if people stop Smoking.
