The addiction all people know about is the Nicotine addiction which is a physical addiction, but the secret that most of the people don't know about is the psychological addiction of smoking. This kind of addiction is the thing that makes quitting smoking a hard task, because smokers tend to have certain smoking habits; they smoke at fixed period of time of the day, or when doing certain activities, this is what is called the psychological addiction.

For example, I knew someone who used to eat after he smoked (every single time)...Another example is a friend I had who used to light up his first cigarette in the morning immediately after getting out of bed (every single day!), so when you want to quit smoking you have to break the habits you used to have before. You need to know that you'll face daily situations that you lived everyday, but this time you have to deal with it without smoking. It's normal to yearn to smoking in these situations, but if you can't control it, you'll rebound to smoking. This article is to give you some advices that might help you when quitting smoking.
