Quitting Smoking When You Know It's Just A Habit

Knowing how to quit smoking when you realise that it's just a habit, but you keep on doing it anyway, is easier than you might think. A surprising number of smokers have already reached the conclusion that their smoking is just a habit and not an addiction. They know this because the nicotine patches and quit smoking medications, have failed to work for them.

In fact most report having used nicotine patches and still continue smoking, at the same time, simply because they were having a coffee or a meal, it's because they have such a strong association with smoking and food and drinks.

If nicotine was the only problem then it would be logical that all smokers would give up smoking, using nicotine replacement therapy alone. Yet this is certainly not the case, for the vast majority of smokers.

So if the problem is just a habit then why don't smokers just change their minds and quit? Think for a moment about the things you do in your life, those things that you do out of habit, perhaps the way you eat, the way you speak and so on.
