Ultimately, the big question is: what do cigarettes exactly do to make any difference in our day? Weed, heroine, alcohol...they do something to you, they make a difference. What about nicotine? We basically smoke because some CEO tricked us into adopting him and his mistress...that's really it.....
So, I guess a good portion of the battle is reprogramming to know that actually, soking simply makes no sense and that cravings are ultimately a product of our minds, not our bodies. Maybe keeping this in mind can help. 🙂
