Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: An Alternative Approach to Quit Smoking
| Nicotine smoking is one of the leading causes of preventable diseases and premature death worldwide. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance, which exerts influence over different reward pathways of the brain. In Pakistan, nicotine use is very high and its consumption is expected to increase further in future. This article focuses on the increase of nicotine consumption in Pakistan and how people can get rid of smoking habit using the latest method such as transcranial direct current stimulation. Article History Received: March 03, 2018 Revised: April 17, 2019 Accepted: May 20, 2019 Published: June 11, 2019 Authors’ Contributions GM wrote the manuscript with input from all the authors.
