How many times have you smoked your ‘last cigarette’? Three times? Ten times? More?
Most smokers have mentally told themselves hundreds of times that “this will be the last one”. But it’s never that easy. Thinking about quitting and pulling it off are two completely different things.
Today, it’s impossible to ignore the detrimental damage cigarettes have on your health – warnings are plastered on billboards, ads, and cigarette packets around the world. Yet cigarettes still sneak into our lives and become a habit that provides both physical and emotional relief.
As well as the risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke and emphysema, addiction also affects your mental health. Feeling depressed or anxious… smelling like smoke… wondering when and where you’ll be able to have a cigarette when you go out… you may feel trapped and believe smoking is a habit you’ll never be able to kick.
If you’ve tried to quit smoking without success, it’s not your fault. Most traditional approaches focus solely on dealing with the physical aspects of nicotine addiction, without acknowledging the whole picture.
Yes, the physical withdrawals can be excruciating. But the behavioural aspects of quitting smoking are often the most difficult part. From the hand-to-mouth motion to the social aspects of sharing a cigarette with friends, smoking can be deeply ingrained in your daily routine.
