Lets See How Emotions Cause You To Smoke More
Every day we experience a range of emotions, and during these moments we are also lighting up cigarettes. So as time goes by all of our feelings and all our emotions end up automatically being linked with the action of smoking.
Our Feelings Control Our Behavior
Thus every time you light up a smoke you are creating new links and bonds with whatever emotion you are experiencing in the moment. So if you happen to be angry, happy or under stress the mind also links the action of smoking with these feelings.
This explains why when you are under stress you instantly reach for a smoke. Because your mind has previously linked smoking and stress together, so when under stress it tells you to run and light up a smoke.
But these same links are formed with activities; such as having a smoke with a cup of coffee, or after a meal, or when driving a car… In the end the mind cannot do one without the other so it HAS to instruct you to light up a smoke as it has NO OTHER choice.
