We initiate SMOKING if we do not have genetic variant SLC6A3-9. People with this variation have altered dopamine transmission so they will be less affected by the addictive properties of nicotine.

Biological explanation of Maintainance
We maintain smoking addiction because we have a variation of chromosome 15. Something in this gene makes smoking more addictive in these individuals.

Biological explanation of Relapse
We relapse if we do not have genetic variant SLC6A3-9. People with this variation have altered dopamine transmission so they will be less affected by the addictive properties of nicotine. So they will have less withdrawal symptoms.
