Smoking may make smokers more vulnerable to suffering from phobias and other types of chronic fear like post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD.
Scientists have discovered that smoking tobacco can impair the brain's ability to repress fear-related memories, making smokers unable to deal with fear and anxiety after a traumatic experience.
Dangerous chemicals in tobacco may interfere with neurotransmitter and neurons in the brain. Neurotransmitters are responsible for controlling fear.
Smoking is a common habit among people who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder PTSD. The more people smoke, the less they were able to inhibit fear response.
Smoking impairs the repression of fear related memories, when there is no danger. Long-term smoking leads to higher deficit in inhibiting fear responses.
Smoking changes neurotransmitter balances in the brain, which are necessary for successful safety learning.
Enhancing dopamine in the brain and putting an end to tobacco smoking can put an end to fear associated with smoking.
