Every smoker will tell you how hard it is to quit. Some say it is the most difficult to conquer addiction, some doctors say its even harder to quit then heroin. The reason why its so hard, is manly because of substances found in cigarettes such as nicotine and cigarette companies of chemical additives such as place to keep people hooked.
But it is also difficult because of the nature of the smoking habit. Needing a smoke for every occasion. The smoke with your morning coffee, smoking of workunits, the smoke breaks at work, smoking after every meal, smoke when your stress, smoke when the happy, smoke when talking to someone etc.
Is still somewhat accepted in our society (though less and less accepted more recently). So quit smoking can be extremely difficult. Now we know that smoking can cause harm, and the long-term effects are severe and deadly.
So the motivation is concerned is the result of years of smoking. There is absolutely no benefit to smoking. It is expensive and is guaranteed to leave you breathless, with a long and painful journey of regret. So how do you get out?
