Stop Smoking - The Most Important Factor to Consider When You Decide to Quit Smoking

I think it's safe to say that just about everyone who is currently a smoker would like to quit. Not sure? Ask yourself this question. Knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time to the day before you became hooked on cigarettes, would you do it? There's your answer. Just about everyone answers a resounding 'yes' to that one. So, now that you know you want to, what's stopping you? What's the most important factor to consider when you decide to quit smoking?

In the opinion of a happy ex-smoker, the most important factor to consider when you decide to quit smoking is the psychological factor. The factor that leaves you feeling miserable and deprived. The one that makes you treat everyone like crap hoping that one of them will suggest you should keep smoking and try another time. The one that eventually creates whatever scenario it needs to so you can resume smoking once again.

Despite what you may believe, the physical effects of quitting smoking aren't that big a deal. It's the massive brainwashing job we do on ourselves that makes it so difficult to stop smoking. You're probably doing it right now.

So much attention is paid to dealing with cravings and nicotine replacement and support groups. The physical cravings don't last that long. Nicotine replacement is completely illogical and doesn't work. Trying to break a nicotine addiction with nicotine is pretty stupid if you asked me. Support groups can be of some benefit, but the real secret is to sort out the psychological aspects before you decide to quit.

If you can get a handle on the psychological aspects and deal with your self sabotage before it happens, you'll be well on your way to success. It really isn't that hard to stop smoking. All you have to do is take action.

I've been where you are. Wanting to quit so badly but not knowing where to start.
