Chapter 168 - 168 Author Pov

Daniel had finished eating and he went into his room, everyone indeed left the table after what they heard from Edwards' mouth earlier this morning was enough to disturb his appetite. 

Daniel closed the door. With a grunt, he took off his shirt and lit a cigarette that was in the back of his trouser pocket. he exhaled and took a deep breath on his cigarette. The door behind him opened and a woman he knew quite well came in. 

"You smoke?" she's Mona's doctor, coming with Violet. They were seen sitting on the sofa in Daniel's room and looking at the annoyed man. Daniel was just silent, while the two women behind him were staring intently. 

"You know Daniel, smoking when you're stressed will make you depressed? Depression that occurs due to smoking is caused by the nicotine content in it, which affects brain performance. This creates a sense of dependence and changes behavior and the way you think about yourself. This effect can even be permanent. Because nicotine is very easy to accumulate in the brain. 

Through the oral mucosa when smoking, nicotine can be absorbed and reach the brain in just 10 seconds after the cigarette is smoked. The effects of dependence and psychological changes will be stronger if the nicotine content is increased." Doctor Mona's words only made Daniel laugh. he looked at doctor Mona and sat next to her, soon Daniel smoked his cigarette again and exhaled the smoke in front of doctor Mona's face. 

Doctor Mona remained relaxed and silent, before long she took out an injection filled with a sedative and began to thrust it at Daniel rapidly. when Daniel was laughing because of his behavior earlier

"What are you doing!?." Asked Daniel annoyed, he was about to hit doctor Mona's body. but unfortunately, the effect of the injection made Daniel unable to move his body at all.

"Just a sedative so you can stop smoking, Mrs. Anne is quite afraid you get depressed, due to your behavior that seems very strange lately. Moreover, he said earlier that you were reprimanded quite harshly by Edwards. You should know that smoking makes the hormone dopamine in you is out of control. Dopamine can increase uncontrollably, due to smoking habits. 

This can make the brain and body not respond to the hormone as before. The effect caused by this hormone is that a smoker will lose his sense of happiness. directly, smokers are prone to depression due to nicotine addiction. Like a double-edged sword, dependence on cigarettes is what makes them ignore these feelings and want to keep smoking. 

You must know that health is important Daniel, do you want to be a burden to the family? if you're depressed just like Edwards. So the Douglas family are all madmen, how can a madman run such a big company? You don't think you're there?" asked Mona's doctor, she took out another medicine and started to mix it up to give to Daniel. 

"You're not kidding Mona! I'm much calmer when I smoke!" Daniel said annoyed. 

"Yes, I know, smokers who are addicted will also involve other mechanisms, which will trigger an imbalance in brain function itself. Drastic mood changes can be felt by smokers. Starting from feeling happy then turning into sadness, this can show characteristics from people who experience depression. 

For those who are addicted, smoking can make the mind calm. It is true that maybe when smoking the mind will be much calmer, but the effects received from this habit can worsen brain performance because it can cause depression. 

Like I said earlier, it is important for smokers to know that smoking will also lead to habits that will affect social life, including showing an even more aggressive attitude, causing stress, and other behavior changes that are much more severe. especially now that you are in the environment of pregnant women. The cigarette smoke that you emit will cause pregnant women to miscarry or give birth to deformed babies." Doctor Mona said casually again, she had made a concoction of medicine that would be given to Daniel.

"This is a drug for you to take gradually. Varenicline is a prescription drug that can interfere with nicotine receptors in the brain. It works by two effects, the first reduces the pleasure you feel from smoking. The second reduces the symptoms that occur when nicotine consumption is reduced. 

I suggest taking this medicine for about a month to a week before deciding to quit smoking. Varenicline is usually taken after meals with a glass of water. In the first 8 days, I will give a fairly high dose. Besides that, I told the maid to make some warm honey for herself in the morning. Honey is an herbal remedy that is quite powerful to stop smoking. because honey contains vitamins, enzymes, and proteins that are very helpful for stopping smoking. The same goes for quitting smoking. 

Consuming ginger is considered effective enough to make the smoking habit stop because it can overcome the side effects of smoking, such as nausea. that the warm feeling given after consuming ginger will stimulate sweating. It is very helpful to remove toxins from the body. So you have to listen to all my advice if you want to recover and be fine." Doctor Mona has finished her work. 

Because when she checked Mr. Brandon's condition, Mrs. Anne asked Mona's doctor for help to monitor Daniel's health. and very precisely when she walked into Daniel's room, the man was smoking and it was very obvious that he was depressed too. 

"Yes!!! it's up to you!." Daniel said annoyed. 

"Sure, Violet will help you to settle down. I know that you like sex, so Violet is here to help you calm down." Doctor Mona was smiling meaningfully, then she got up from the sofa carrying all his equipment and started walking away from the room.

"Do you want to play with me honey? I will make you happy" Violet asked daniel
