Smoking is a dependency, which is very difficult to get rid of. Many, beginning to smoke, believe that they can "tie" with a bad habit at any time. But in reality everything is much more complicated. And the question arises: why men can not quit smoking when they want? As, indeed, women.
Everyone talks about nicotine addiction, but this is not true in all cases. Many men switch to electronic cigarettes, which have nicotine, but in the end still return to normal smoking. So physical dependence does not always justify the smoker.
Lack of motivation
Why can not a man quit smoking? Because he just does not want to. A person who really wants to get rid of a bad habit will necessarily do it, since everyone has a will of will, but we do not always apply it. Therefore, in this article, we will rather not talk about why men do not know how to quit smoking, but about why they do not find motivation.
Calming the nerves
The first thing that most often pushes us to smoke is nerves. If a man has a tense or nervous job, he will certainly find the opportunity to rest for at least a couple of minutes, having smoked a cigarette. Moreover, in nicotine, as in coffee and in sweet, there is a substance that helps the brain to quickly relax and get new energy, which is necessary to work, especially when it comes to mental work. A person is psychologically accustomed to relaxing just by smoking a cigarette, watching how it smolder. That's why e so hard to replace this one.
The influence of society
Many men do not want to quit, because without cigarettes they begin to feel inferior. Especially, if everyone in the team smokes, then jokes begin and different kinds of bantering. And as you know, often for the stronger sex is very important opinion of the male part of society. Therefore, not withstanding the pressure, men start smoking again.
Excuses
Another reason that does not allow men to fight a bad habit is a lack of motivation. Many people think: why should I quit smoking, if I feel so good. And even when there are some health problems, men continue to tell themselves that everything will pass and the reason for this is not a cigarette. Usually, people who smoked and lived to almost a hundred years old are remembered. And the idea that each individual has an individual organism, practically does not visit the heads of smokers.
Excess weight
Many people, both men and women, are afraid to stop smoking because they know that giving up smoking leads to weight gain. And you will agree, very few people will voluntarily want to, not just give up their favorite encouragement, but also possibly disfigure themselves. By the way, despite the fact that men are much less likely to stutter out loud about their figure and excess weight, this reason is most common among representatives of both sexes.
The spirit of contradiction
Another reason is the reluctance to quit smoking can become a desire to contradict someone. Quite young guys smoke to spite parents, and adult men can do so about girls and wives. Moreover, the more a woman is indignant about the cigarette in her loved one's hands, the more she cries and becomes angry, the more he wants to smoke.
All these factors, individually or in combination, cause the man to seem to be trying, but for some reason he has absolutely no chance to quit smoking. In this case, to really cope with the bad habit, you need to find for yourself exactly your incentive. Nothing will ever help, imposed by others. You need to come up with an excuse that would motivate you. For each person it is different, but if you dig into yourself, then anyone can find an incentive for themselves to quit smoking. Money, a loved one, health - there are many options. And if you find what you need, then moving to the goal will be much easier and even more pleasant.
