25. Irregular smokers, teenagers, nonsmokers

Heavy smokers tend to envy those who smoke occasionally. We all met characters like: 'Oh, I can live a week without cigarettes, and it does not bother me at all. "

We think, "I wish I could, so that I could."

I know, hard to believe, but none of the smoker does not like being a smoker.

Do not forget:

· None of the smoker never took decision to become a smoker (whether regular or any other).

· All smokers feel stupid, and therefore:

· All smokers tend to lie to themselves and others in a vain attempt to justify their own stupidity.

Once I was a fan of golf. But I boasted of how many times I played, and wanted to play more. Why smokers boast how little they smoke?

If it is - the true criterion is to achieve a genuine delight, no doubt, you should not smoke at all. If I told you, 'I know I can survive a week without the carrot, and it does not bother me at all. "

You would have thought I was, of course, crazy. If I like the carrot, then why would I want to live without it for a week? If I do not enjoy it, then why should I make such a statement?

Therefore, when a smoker says, "I can live for a week without a cigarette, and I was, in fact, did not care," he tries to convince you and himself that he has no problem. In fact, he says something like: "I managed not to smoke for a week."

Like any other smoker, he may hope that after this he will be able to survive without smoking and the rest of life. But he was able to spend only a week, so how much value should be acquired for a cigarette, which he had been deprived of for so long?

That's why people who smoke occasionally, the dependence on nicotine is actually much stronger than that of smokers. They have not only greater illusion of fun, but they are practical and do not seek to stop smoking, as spending less money and less risk to health.

Remember: the only pleasure that receives the smoker, is to facilitate the pangs of withdrawal, and, as I have already explained, even this pleasure - just an illusion.

Imagine little nicotine monster inside your body as a constant itch, so small that most of the time you will not even notice. The most natural urge for constant itch - scratch.

When the body is becoming more and more accustomed to nicotine, the habit of smoking one cigarette after another becomes quite natural.

There are three main reasons that keep smokers from continuous cigarette smoking.

1. MONEY. Most of it is simply not affordable.

2. HEALTH. We are forced to take poison, to facilitate weaning flour. A person's ability to cope with the poison varies in different situations and in different periods of his life. It acts as a blanket restriction.

3. disciplined. It is dictated by society or the working conditions of the smoker, and maybe your friends and relatives, or by the smoker - as a result of persistent struggle going on in the mind of every smoker.

I used to think the habit of smoking cigarettes one after another weakness. I could not understand how my friends manage to limit the number of cigarettes smoked per day and reducing it to ten or twenty.

I am sure that I was very strong-willed person. It never occurred to me that a majority of smokers can not smoke without interruption, since you need to have a very strong light.

Heavy smokers tend to envy those who smoke five cigarettes a day. Perhaps these people smoked so little, simply because due to its constitution can not smoke more; or because they can not afford to smoke more; or due to their working conditions or the public.

And perhaps due to the fact that their own hatred of dependence does not allow them to smoke more cigarettes. Perhaps at this stage it would be useful to give some definitions.

Smoking. Man, I never fall into this trap, but that should not boast that. He - a non-smoker only the grace of God. All smokers were convinced that they really something never become addicted, and some non-smokers continue to try to smoke a cigarette from time to time.

Occasional smoker. There are two basic types of occasional smokers.

1. Smoker who has already landed in the trap, but still does not understand this. Do not envy them, they're just trying nectar from carnivorous plants and, in all likelihood, soon will become regular smokers. Remember: all alcoholics begin with random shots and all smokers first smoked occasionally.

2. Smoker, who was formerly a heavy smoker, I thought that would not be able to quit smoking. These, then, smokers and cause the greatest pity. They belong to several categories, each of which requires separate comments.

A smoker smokes five cigarettes a day.

If he gets pleasure from cigarettes, why she smokes five cigarettes a day? If he does not care, then why do smoke? (I hope you remember that this "habit" really means - bang your head against a brick wall with a view to experience the pleasure when you stop.)

A smoker smokes five cigarettes a day makes it easier to own flour withdrawal less than an hour a day. All the rest of the time, though he does not realize he is "beating his head against the wall," and it goes on much of his life.

He smokes only five cigarettes a day since or can not afford to smoke more on monetary considerations, or worried about their own health.

Convince smoker is that it does not get pleasure from smoking - easily, and just try to convince the occasional smoker.

Anyone who has been through an attempt to reduce smoking, knows that it is - the most sophisticated of all the torture that is almost 100% guarantee that you will be addicted to nicotine for the rest of life.

23. Be wary of reducing smoking

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.
