Quitting smoking is a very difficult thing to do, and it is even related to drug use, but the causes are different.
If drug use is due to strong addiction, smoking is not so strong.
However, smoking is no better than taking drugs.
There are three levels of addiction, the chemical level of addiction is only the appearance, and the real difficulty of quitting smoking is hidden in the other two.
One of them is physical, and the other is psychological.
The physical level is the self-adaptation of the body.
This person who often takes medicine and fits will know the physical adaptation.
So you will often hear that one medicine should not be taken for too long, and the supplement should not be drunk all the time.
What is the principle?
Take protein powder, for example.
As a highly effective protein supplement, protein powder has high content, complete types and good absorption.
However, once you take a protein supplement for a long time, your body will respond accordingly
It thinks that since you provide me with such a good amount of protein, then I don't need to work so hard to save energy!
It's not just people who are lazy, but also physically. After all, these are all regulated by hormones.
On the other hand, the body is very sensitive to intake, and if you consume too much of a substance, the body will automatically adjust.
For example, if you consume more protein, your body needs to automatically reduce the amount of protein broken down to maintain your protein intake at a similar level as before.
At this time, if you still want to build muscle, then there are two ways:
1.Practice more and forcibly give signals.
2.Take more protein in a short period of time and increase your intake before your body reacts to adjust your intake rate.
It's the same with smoking.
Even if it's a bad thing, your body will automatically adjust how well it absorbs it.
For some people, smoking causes them to produce dopamine.
The brain is trying to save trouble, and since you can provide it for me, then I don't need to synthesize so much in other aspects.
As a result, you have to smoke to maintain the same amount of dopamine as you used to.
Let's talk about the psychological aspect.
The psychological level is the formation of a habit.
Just as some people develop the habit of wanting to escape when they are stressed, while some people want to smoke when they are stressed.
The power of habit is huge, and I have repeatedly emphasized the importance of habit in my previous articles.
Because habits can determine how a person is.
Why? Because the computing power of the human brain is very limited, most of the things must be handed over to habits to do, otherwise everything can not be thought about and everything at all.
Let's just say that playing games, playing seriously and having fun are two completely different concepts.
It must be said that if you pay attention to all the details that you should pay attention to when playing a game, you will find that you can't play because your brain is down.
Therefore, the brain usually uses computing power to do the most important things at the moment, and those low-priority things are all handled by habit.
Then you will find that if you find someone to record their day, you will find that except for the part where you are actively thinking, the randomness of the other parts is very small, and almost all repeat a fixed pattern.
The same goes for smoking.
When you're stressed, you want to smoke because of several factors:
1.The smell of smoke doesn't smell good at first, and you at least use it as a means of torturing yourself, and at this point you take the position of a leader and punish your body instead of being under pressure and not handling it well.
2.The smell of smoke is refreshing and prevents you from getting caught up in endless thoughts about stress.
3.Exhaling can help you relieve some stress.
4.Later in life, the act of smoking is tied to stress, so when you're nervous, anxious, sad, etc., your brain instinctively asks you to go for a cigarette instead of thinking about whether to smoke one.
So don't smoke easily, and don't expect smokers to quit and keep a safe distance.
