don't smoke it's not worth it, instead have a nice drink
Uh, no, that is not strictly true. Addictions are inherently chemical (as in the stimulation of reward pathways etc) but there is such a thing as a chemical addiction to a substance (i.e. nicotine) as well as psychological addiciton (i.e. to the ritual of smoking).addictions aren't just chemical; unless you work out WHY it is that you smoke and began to in the first place, you either WILL relapse, or you will replace it with another addiction.
it sounds stupid for something like smoking, which is seen as a minor and socially acceptable addiction, but i'd recommend at least a bit of therapy.
the ritual in itself can trigger reward pathways simply via anticipation.Uh, no, that is not strictly true.

lol what i follow smokers for the smoke
one time i followed this chain smoker for 30 mins around the city
yeah i had a smoke with her, lolyeah sarah caved in a week or so ago
good luck! a friend of mine did that too - got real healthy for like 2 or 3 monthsOne more day until operation exodus. All drugs, alcohol, nicotine, caviar and caffeine are on the boot for 4 weeks. Will it last? Unlikely. Previous PB. 6 days.
I have to agree with sam. Cigarettes are mostly a very very very tiny penis replacement for the mouth only they are cold and on fire and full of tobacco.
