What is smoking addiction?
Tobacco addiction is twofold:
· Psychological dependence:
Smoking a cigarette entails a ritual of automatic and repetitive gestures associated with particular circumstances (pleasure, stress response, intellectual stimulation, support for morale, need for the gesture of conviviality). This is the psychological and behavioral dependence.
· Physical dependence:
The body's need for nicotine is due to the effects of this substance on the nervous system. It's about physical dependence. The non-satisfaction of this need leads to a feeling of lack (see description in the chapter "How to overcome your physical dependence?").
Nicotine substitutes aim to treat this dependence.
How to overcome your psychological dependence?
· Complete smoking cessation is necessary to increase your chances of success, but more:
o Choose a day J in the period that seems most favorable to you.
o Throw away your last pack of cigarettes, your lighter and put away your ashtrays.
o In a couple of smokers, it is preferable that the arrest attempt be made at the same time by both spouses.
· Tell your family and coworkers that you are quitting. Ask them to respect your decision (do not smoke near you, do not offer cigarettes).
· Prepare to deal with the desire to smoke. It can occur abruptly and intensely especially during the first few weeks after stopping smoking, but does not last more than 3 or 4 minutes. You must anticipate what you will do in this case and act very quickly not to "crack" like for example:
o drink a big glass of water,
o to chew gum,
o count to 100,
o to make some deep breaths,
o to leave the room,
o change of activity ...
· Avoid situations associated with taking cigarettes (coffee, aperitif, ...), avoid temptations (settle with non-smokers).
· Find compensation for cigarettes (leisure, sport, cultural activity ...).
