One of the many benefits of quitting smoking is improving your brain power! Nicotine, the highly addictive substance found in cigarettes and other products, can impact the brain – especially a developing one. Adolescents and young adults are especially susceptible to risks associated with nicotine because their brains are still growing.
But all is not lost! Use Monday to quit and stay quit – it’s the best day of the week to start and stick to a healthy habit. When your brain is uncompromised by nicotine, you’re more likely to be your confident, creative self. Here’s what your brain gets back when you quit nicotine products:
Improved learning: When you reduce or stop nicotine intake, the brain circuits that oversee attention and learning are able to grow and function better.
Strengthened resolve: When you kick nicotine products, it makes your brain circuits less susceptible to addiction, so it’s easier to say no.
Improved mood: Leaving nicotine products in the past makes it easier for your brain to control impulses, so that means less mood swings and feeling a little more centered when life happens.
Show your brain some love by quitting Monday and staying quit. Want more Monday motivational tips? Follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram!
