I hate smoking , why do I still do it?

Answer by  corycubed (42)

You are addicted to the nicotine, and smoking has become part of your routine. When you don't smoke you get that empty feeling inside, and you don't like it so you must smoke some more. Smoking has become your stress relief, and you see smoking as your only way out when frustrated. Also, your friends do it, why not?

Smoking has addictive additivites while also providing comforting routine. It's not easy to quit unless you make a commitment to yourself one day at a time. Dont worry about tomorrow just the current moment to change. Sometimes it helps to have supporters to encourage your non-smoking routine.

Getting aaddicted to smoking easily happens even after smoking just two cigars. Coming out of it is really tough unless you are highly self motivated. Smoking makes you relaxed and gives you pleasure, makes you comfortable, gives confidence and you really cant think of quitting it.

I think that smoking is hard to give up even when you hate it because of the addictive ingredients that are loaded into the cigarette. So after a long period of time you develop physical and psychological ties to the addictive properties.
