💬 The words "don't rely on medicine" push quitting away
The words "don't rely on medicine" push quitting further away.
At people trying to quit, someone occasionally throws words like these:
"Don't rely on medicine."
"It's meaningless unless you quit on your own."
"If you're serious, you can quit starting today."
At a glance these sound like harsh but correct advice. But in reality they can push quitting away.
Smoking involves nicotine addiction
Because smoking isn't just a bad habit — it's a behavior accompanied by nicotine addiction. Quitting brings irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, drowsiness, increased appetite, and strong urges to smoke. Dismiss this as "you lack endurance," and someone who failed at quitting finds it harder to try again.
