Many smokers have resorted to a reduction in smoking as a temporary facility on the way to a complete cessation of, or as an attempt to establish control over the little monster. Reducing smoking is recommended as support for many doctors and consultants.
Obviously, the less you smoke, the better feel. But reducing the number of cigarettes smoked is fatal as an intermediate step before the complete cessation of smoking. It attempts to reduce smoking keep us trapped in this life.
Typically, the reduction of smoking following the failed attempt to quit smoking. After a few hours or days of abstinence from smoking smoker says to himself something like: "I can not bear the thought of life without cigarettes, so, from that moment on, I'll smoke only on special occasions or reduced smoking ten cigarettes a day.
If I can go to the habit to smoke ten cigarettes a day, I can resist, or at the same level, or to further reduce this number. "
Immediately begin to occur with a smoker is quite certain unpleasant things:
1. With him was the worst. He again dependent on nicotine and sustains life monsters, not only in body but in mind.
2. Now he wants to waiting for the next cigarette his life flowed faster.
3. In the past, attempts to reduce smoking, it just automatically lit than, at least, at least partially alleviating the sufferings of withdrawal. Now, in addition to the normal stresses and strains of life situations, he provokes own suffering, anguish caused by nicotine withdrawal, and tormented him most of his life. So he forces himself to be unhappy and have a bad temper.
4. While it is self-indulgence, he does not enjoy the majority of cigarette and did not even realize that their smokes. Everything happens automatically. The only cigarettes, on which, in his view, he enjoys - is cigarette smoked after a period of abstinence (eg, the first cigarette in the morning, after lunch, etc.).
Now, waiting an extra hour in front of a cigarette, he "enjoys" from each cigarette. The longer a smoker waits, the more enjoyable it becomes for him; as the "pleasure" of cigarettes - it's not the cigarette itself, and the end of unrest caused by craving for nicotine (no matter whether it is a weak physical attraction or mental blues).
The more you suffer, the "nicer" becomes each cigarette.
The main difficulty in quitting smoking - no chemical dependency. This is just what is easy. Smokers all night there without cigarettes; the desire to smoke even wakes them up. Many of them are first come out of the bedroom before to smoke. Some even have breakfast. Some do not smoke until you come to work.
Smokers are able to survive for ten hours without a cigarette, and it does not bother them. If they tried to survive without cigarettes ten o'clock in the afternoon, they would tear his hair. Buying a new car, many of them do not smoke in it. Without undue inconvenience smokers visiting supermarkets, theaters, doctors, hospitals, dentists, etc.
Many refrain from smoking in the company of non-smokers. Even in a subway train has not been social unrest. Smokers almost pleased when someone tells them that you can not smoke.
In fact, they get a secret pleasure of smoking without the existence of over long periods of time. It gives them hope that one day they may be, do not want to smoke.
When to quit smoking, the main problem is "brainwashing", under the delusion that cigarette - a form of support or reward and that without it life would never be the same.
The idea to reduce smoking does not lead you to a complete rejection of it, and leave with a sense of insecurity and self-pity, and convinces us that the most valuable thing in the world - next cigarette.
Therefore, it is simply impossible to imagine that in the future you will become happy without cigarettes.
There is nothing sadder than a smoker trying to reduce smoking. He suffers from the delusion that the less he smokes, the less he will want to smoke. In fact, everything is exactly the opposite.
The less he smokes, the longer suffers from the pangs of withdrawal, the more cigarette and enjoying the more disgusting it becomes taste. But that does not stop him. The taste of cigarettes is never taken into account.
If smokers smoke because they enjoy the taste of cigarettes, then no one has ever smoked more than one cigarette would. Do you find this hard to believe? Well, let's clarify that.
In a most disgusting taste of cigarettes? That's right, at the first cigarette in the morning - one that in winter provokes coughing and expectoration. What is the most valuable for cigarette smokers? That's right, the first cigarette in the morning!
Well, you really truly believe that smoke to enjoy the taste and smell of cigarettes? Or consider that a more rational explanation is that you simply facilitate weaning nine-hour meal? Before you finish smoking his last cigarette, we must dispel all misconceptions associated with smoking.
