There may be more than nicotine that’s stopping you from giving up smoking. Research shows that cigarettes are designed to manipulate your taste buds too! The natural and added flavors to tobacco make it even harder for someone to quit.
Honey, vanilla, and cocoa may sound sweet and good but, cocoa, for example, is a nice treat when mixed in its powdered form with hot milk. But when burned in a cigarette, cocoa produces bromine gas, which both dilates and anesthetizes the lungs, maximizing their absorption of smoke and nicotine.
A person’s taste buds may be the reason that they begin to smoke or not. So-called bitter tasters are less likely to cite taste as a motivating factor for smoking—and less likely to smoke in the first place. However, those who have very little bitter tasters are much more likely to become addicted, according to research.
