Most people find that trying to stop smoking is a very difficult task. And it’s an extremely difficult task because this addiction is multifaceted, meaning that not only you experiment the addiction to nicotine, but a psychological component is related to it since cigarettes are legal and accepted in many social situations.
The indicator that will tell you if your attempt to stop smoking will be successful is how well prepared you are mentally. You really need to want to stop smoking if you want to succeed, and if you try without being convinced in your mind, you will likely fail. One of the best ways to make you get that mental attitude that tells you that you want to quit is to think about what health risks you face if you continue with that addiction and of course what benefits you’ll get if you stop smoking.
The many risks you can face are known by almost everybody, and if you forgot them for some reason, we can review them so you can start to see the risks and benefits that stop smoking offers. When you are smoking, your chances of getting lung cancer and heart disease increase enormously. Breathing difficulties and even premature death are also associated with this addiction to the nicotine. And don’t forget that if you smoke, you affect to your love ones or other people around you since the effects of the cigarette will be passed to those people and is believed that the effects are even worse. The truth is that if you keep smoking around someone, they will be affected sooner or later.
Now, if you try to quit this addiction, you’ll get feelings of anxiety, sleeplessness or more, however the benefits can also be felt almost immediately, things like your sense of smell, which will increase almost instantly and of course your sense of taste will be automatically improved since they are closely related.
Another benefit is that you will save a lot of money. Cigarettes might be very expensive depending on where you live and the good news is that cigarettes tend to increase their prices regularly. I’m saying that it’s good news because that way you’ll see that your savings will increase too. One way to motivate yourself is to put the money you had destined to buy cigarettes that day in a jar. When you see how much money you save in a week, you’ll start to get motivated to keep strong in your fight against this addiction.
Thinking constantly about the benefits you’ll get when you quit smoking is a great way to keep your state of mind that will make you to succeed and when you think about the risks that you and the people around you get into with your addiction will trigger that desire to try really hard to keep going until you fulfill that dream.
