Why Do We Smoke?

Have you ever noticed in which situations do you smoke cigarettes? If you tried to notice your behavior, you will find that 90% of the times you smoke is just because of one of the below reasons and not because of necotine addiction:

• Being under stress, like having a hard work day.
• After having a fight with someone.
• When you are anxious about an upcoming event (for example when waiting for your exam results).
• Just after you eat.
• When you face a sudden emotional change.

Smoking for Mood Improvment

It's clear that most of the previous examples are just anchors. You are just used to smoke at certain times, like for example when under stress or when in a bad mood. Ninety percent of the time, you smoke in order to provide relief to yourself because you don't like your current emotional state or because you just want to escape your emotions.

Smoking and the Myth of Nicotine Addiction

Contrary to what you may think, nicotine addiction is not the major factor for your inability to quit smoking; it's emotional factors that play a big role in your smoking addiction. Although nicotine addiction also has a detrimental effect on your ability to quit, emotional addiction is far more dangerous and it's what you should start dealing with on your journey to quit.

Hidden Bad habits

Other than the well known bad habits we all know of, there are other hidden habits that are really bad and are sometimes worse than these common habits. Waking up late, wasting time, losing our temper and even failing to get over someone are examples of bad habits that skip unnoticed. in my book How to get over anyone in few days i described how some people developed the habit of becoming broken after a breakup instead of recovering.

These bad habits are really dangerous because usually people doesn't warn us of them thinking that they are not bad habits, but in fact, some of these habits may have a bigger impact on your life than other popular bad habits.
