Compounds, compositions, and methods of use of such compounds and compositions are provided for reducing human dependency to nicotine. In one example, a method of treating an individual with an addiction to nicotine comprises administering to the individual a compound that is a structural analog of trans-cinnamaldehyde. Based on the administration, a rate at which nicotine is metabolized may be reduced, which in turn may reduce a desire for the individual to consume nicotine-containing products.
