Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I read in " The Tipping Point " about an anti-depressant that causes a lot of smokers to stop smoking. It affects a different brain chemical than most anti-depressants. I no longer have the book and no longer remember the drug, but according to posts on this list (a previous discussion I participated in): " It's dopamine and the drug is bupropion, brand name Wellbutrin/Zyban. " I know someone with kids with very serious respiratory problems and a spouse that smokes. I have suggested that feeding the spouse the right foods might have the same effect as this drug. So I am wondering if anyone here has some thoughts or suggestions or experiences with using diet to boost dopamine and thereby curb the craving for cigarettes. Thanks in advance.
