Why It Is So Hard To Quit Smoking

We all know the hazards of cigarette smoking. But when it comes to quitting, the potential for loss and dangers of smoking appear to fall by the wayside. Wanting to quit and being prepared to quit need to have a strong will and determination. Once you have the will and determination, then you definitely must decide on the method of quitting that’s going to assist you.

The smoking addiction has both physiological and psychological components. The physiological addiction is  a form of bodily need for nicotine. This aspect in the addiction is what causes the withdrawal symptoms that make it initially feel near impossible to give up smoking. However, this can be a short, temporary stage, lasting only between three days to one week. By the end on this time, your system should be adapted to nicotine-free life. Based on twenty years of experience, I believe that this physical requirement for nicotine constitutes only ten percent of the being hooked on smoking.

Don’t just say I quit smoking today. The chances are that you will fail. You need to have a suitable plan. You need help. You need to know what to prepare for while stopping smoking. You need to know about the withdrawal symptoms and in regards to the urge to smoke. So how can you do this? An ex-smoker can provide great advice. Your family and friends can provide you with the best support possible. Only set a date to quit smoking, if you are fully prepared for it.
