Many smokers probably thought about giving up this bad habit. Many tried to quit smoking, but according to my estimates, only 10-15% could do it. 
Today I would like to tell you how I quit smoking and how I struggle with this desire almost every day.

So, let's first figure everything out. Tobacco smoking (or simply smoking) - inhaling the smoke of smoldering dried or processed tobacco leaves, most often in the form of smoking cigarettes, cigars, smoking pipes or hookah (wikipedia). Why then do we like to smoke? The answer is that tobacco smoke contains an alkaloid nicotine, which is an addictive stimulant, and also causes a weak euphoria.

That is, are we addicts? since smoking causes a weak euphoria, then in the subconscious of a person, every day, a desire is generated to receive this euphoria hourly. For many, smoking, in their view, relieves depression or nervous situations. Yes, when we are nervous, the body needs a hormone that will relieve it of stress. This is nicotine for a smoker. But in the modern world, we often experience stress, and for a smoker one cigarette - this is like a breath of air through many problems.

BUT, even this is not the most important thing! It takes just 2 days for a person to get addicted to nicotine. The main problem with quitting is a habit! Yes, it's just a habit! Imagine, you eat breakfast every day, and then one day you stop doing it. What will happen? You will be hungry and angry, although nothing tragic has happened. Similarly, a smoker, after a certain time, or after certain actions, automatically, without thinking about what he does, reaches for a cigarette. Therefore, to quit smoking, you need a lot of willpower to break your habits and not succumb to them.

P.S. for me, the goal is that I have a little son and I want him to see that his father does not smoke and leads the right way of life.
