Finns en bra text skriven av författaren ALLEN CARR i boken "EASY WAY TO STOP SMOKING"
Most smokers who think about it eventually come to the conclusion that it is just a habit. This is not really an explanation but, having discounted all the usual rational explanations, it appears to be
the only remaining excuse.
Unfortunately, this explanation is equally illogical.
Every day of our lives we change habits, and some of them are very enjoyable. We have been brainwashed to believe that smoking is a habit and that habits are difficult to break. Are habits difficult to break?
In the UK we are in the habit of driving on the left side of the road. Yet when we drive on the Continent or in the States, we immediately break that, habit with hardly any aggravation whatsoever.
It is clearly a fallacy that habits are hard to break. The fact is that we make and break habits every day of our lives.
So why do we find it difficult to break a habit that tastes awful, that kills us, that costs us a fortune, that is filthy and disgusting and that we would love to break anyway, when all we have to do is to stop
doing it? The answer is that smoking is not habit: IT IS NICOTINE ADDICTION! That is why it appears to be so difficult to 'give up'.
Perhaps you feel this explanation explains why it is difficult to 'give up'?
It does explain why most smokers find it difficult to 'give up'. That is because they do not understand drug addiction.
The main reason is that smokers are convinced that they get some genuine
pleasure and/or crutch from smoking and believe that they are making a genuine sacrifice if they quit.
The beautiful truth is that once you understand nicotine addiction and the true reasons why you smoke, you will stop doing it just like that - and within three weeks the only mystery will be why yo\i
found it necessary to smoke as long as you have, and why you cannot persuade other smokers HOW NICE IT IS TO BE A NON-SMOKER!
