Science differenciates three groups. Strict / militant disapprovers, moderate / occasional consumers and excessive ones. With first group displaying most mental irritations ( typically being victims of authoritarian/ superficial fatherhood ). Science also in the past two deacdes expanded the former tunnel-view, not exclusively considering cons, but what there is as observable pro too. Which in sight of physical health yields nothing, however in sight of recreation and creational focus appears to have observable effects. Smoking seems to fit especially creative minds. I stopped smoking maybe four times over decades, yet after a while decided to grant me the lust again. ( = Consumption of ~ 8 to 12 cigarettes per day.) What I remember form last time is that it was unexpectedly easy to quit. With compensational action of drinking a glass of water everytime I longed for a cigarette, which again used to trigger the desire for a cigarette. Which altogether made for really weird first three days of the abstinet months to come. However, smokers of common cigarettes undergo a much harder treatment, as their cigarettes contain not only tobacco, but additional mixtures comprised of alltogther 500 different ingredients from harmless sounding ones like cacao over to severe ones like aceton and amoniac. These ingredients, chosen by the industry in order to keep low condensate quotes on the package, yet obtaining addictive properties as high as possible, are what makes the smoke of these products ghastly biting and sticky in smell. The ingredients also must be making for main cancerogene properties. Much more than actual nicotin and tar. What methods of quitting are concerned I think it significant to keep dependency to factors within your mind. Bets with other persons as well as avoidance of outer circumstances must only weaken chances of success. Seeing that encreasing number of void trials will only lessen chances for a final quit / hence considering the relevance of most promissing ways from start, it seems to me that one should not: # remove cigarettes from his home / working place, but instead keep them around like always. # make bets. # avoid bars and parties, because of others smoking there. # get paranoid about smoky environment in general unless it was indeed about overload ( too much in too little rooms ). For, shifting relevance to outer factors will do nothing else than encreasing psychological susceptibility. Keeping things / allures as usual instead, will maintain awareness of the actual decisiveness ( in your mind ) and provide best chance for success. - In my 2cents. Ruphus
