The difficulty in quitting smoking is essentially a mental defect, which stems from the fact that smokers have no higher desire. It is very difficult to produce advanced desires, which requires long-term study. There is no need to do statistics and surveys. In an era when smoking is extremely harmful to health, smoking, like buying lottery tickets, is often the behavior of people at the bottom of society.

Smoking, even drinking, is the relative luxury that the bottom people are most likely to get, which is the fundamental reason why they are unwilling to give up from the bottom of their hearts. Or at a certain moment, because of health or economic reasons, they will temporarily quit smoking and drinking, but when health or economic conditions improve, it is easy to relapse and drink again, because they have not found anything to fill the void after quitting smoking and drinking.

It's easy to say that you really want to quit smoking, as long as you know from your heart that tobacco is a drug, and smoking is not a pleasure, but an annoying and harmful behavior. Quitting smoking is the only way to succeed. If you turn the desire to smoke into the desire to learn what harm smoking will do to your body, the correct posture of quitting smoking may be opened.

Being able to have the idea of quitting smoking shows that you have begun to realize that you can't persist because you can't appreciate the happiness brought by quitting smoking, so you relax and relapse. For example, a healthy body, fresh breath and white teeth have not been experienced by many people at the bottom of society. They can experience the pleasure of smoking.

I used to work as a plumber on a construction site. Many young workers are surprised that I don't smoke or drink. In addition to thinking I am stingy, they also feel worthless for me, because in their view, men earn money. If they don't smoke or drink, they will become stupid or afraid of their wives.

It is certainly difficult to change this perception, especially for a man in his 40 s and 50 s who has been stereotyped in all aspects. That's the hard part about quitting smoking.

It is almost impossible for such smokers to quit smoking voluntarily, unless they are tortured by illness and urged by doctors after entering the hospital, but if their health improves slightly, they are likely to relapse. Because in his view, smoking is an important enjoyment for him. If you quit, life is meaningless.

It is impossible and unnecessary for such a person to really make him give up smoking. Unless the state punishes people like drunk driving, such people will always be smokers.

This answer may not help you quit smoking successfully, but it may make you really understand the real reason why you can't quit smoking. If you are determined to quit smoking, this may be the most correct way to completely ban smoking.
