People who fail to quit smoking have this thought in their mind

Whether the original intention of smoking is to socialize, to make oneself more "manly", or out of ignorance in adolescence, many men have unknowingly become "smokers". When the body shows signs of problems, people suddenly realize it. But quitting smoking is not an easy thing. The most common thing is the lack of perseverance and giving up when encountering setbacks.

Quitting smoking is a difficult task and it certainly cannot be done overnight. Friends who are determined to quit smoking must avoid the following misconceptions.

1. Quitting smoking is purely a whim

If you don't make sufficient mental and material preparations for quitting smoking, and just start quitting smoking on a whim, it is a kind of underestimation of the enemy. In this case, quitting smoking will fail in nine out of ten cases. For most smokers, quitting smoking is a struggle to overcome the addiction to smoking, which is not something they can completely control. Therefore, you need to be fully prepared mentally, understand all useful knowledge and methods of quitting smoking, and formulate detailed strategies and plans for quitting smoking. There are many ways to quit smoking, and you should learn from those who have successfully quit smoking and adopt the quitting smoking method that suits you.

2. I don’t understand why I smoke.

Every smoker has his own reasons for smoking, some for social needs, some to reduce psychological pressure, some for the pursuit of fashion. Once you understand why you want to light up cigarettes, you will find other harmless methods to replace cigarettes.

3. Not daring to publicly announce that you want to quit smoking

Some smokers are afraid of being laughed at for failing to quit smoking, so they dare not publicly announce that they want to quit smoking, but only make up their minds to quit smoking secretly. This puts them in a situation of fighting alone, and it is difficult to quit smoking successfully. Therefore, when quitting smoking, you should boldly seek help from your family, colleagues, and friends, and remind people around you that you are quitting smoking for everyone's health, and hope to get their encouragement and support.

Tell everyone in advance and spread the news that you have quit smoking. In this way, colleagues and customers will understand you and stop passing cigarettes to you, which will save a lot of embarrassment. How about holding a family "press conference" to quit smoking? Let your wife and children cooperate with you and practice what to say and do when refusing cigarettes. For example, you can say firmly and politely: "Thank you, I don't smoke!"

4. I will smoke this last cigarette

"I'll just smoke this one", this is the main reason why people give up smoking halfway. For most people, even if they haven't smoked for a few weeks, they still can't say that they have quit smoking successfully. At this time, as long as you light up a cigarette, everything you have done before will come to nothing. Because once you smoke a cigarette, you will have a stronger urge to smoke the second one, so you start smoking again. This dangerous idea of ​​"I'll just smoke this one" is especially easy to produce when you are in a low mood and have nothing to do.

Editor's note: It is indeed difficult to quit smoking, but quitting smoking at any time can bring immediate results to smokers' lives and in the long run, it is very beneficial to health. I hope you can quit smoking with the right attitude and method, stay away from tobacco, and leave the ranks of smokers as soon as possible!
