Why Quitting Nicotine Is So Challenging
- Dopamine dependence—nicotine spikes “feel-good” neurotransmitters.
- Habit loops—coffee break, commute, or stress triggers smoking cues.
- Withdrawal symptoms—irritability, restlessness, sleep disruption.
Where CBD May Help 🧠
Studies suggest CBD interacts with serotonin (5-HT1A) and CB1 receptors, potentially:
- Reducing cue-induced cravings
- Lowering anxiety & irritability
- Supporting deeper, restorative sleep

| Week 1–2 | Topical salve to neck/shoulders for tension relief | Muscle & Joint Salve |
