Want to Stop Smoking? Do Not Resist The Idea of a Cigarette

If you are desperately trying to quit smoking, the last thing you should do is to forbid the idea of a cigarette. According to a new study.

Scientists have found that suppression of ideas for a cigarette, while initially dependent on nicotine, helping to reduce smoking, but once you stop practicing this technique, they begin to literally “pull from each other.”

The medical team examined eighty-five smokers who smoked an average of ten cigarettes a day. They were divided into three groups and were asked to monitor their consumption of tobacco products for three weeks. All groups should behave quite well in the first and third week. But in the second week, their action should be different.

The first group of 30 members to be in the second week of trying to suppress thoughts of a cigarette, another group, where he was the one member less, had put thoughts of drug completely run its course. Last, the third group was control and not your behavior does not change.

When you put the ideas with the flow, to smoke 3 times more.

It turned out that the group, which had to suppress thoughts of cigarette smoking in the second week three times less than in the first week. However, in the last week, when this group ceased to suppress thoughts of cigarettes, the number of packs smoked increased compared to the number of times in the first week.

Number of cigarettes smoked in the other two groups was taking all the time constant.

If you are addicted to the idea of trying to avoid their drug, thereby unwittingly actually starts the process of increasing interdependence. This is a poor method of training self-control, which is due to detrimental.

This finding is not only benefit those who already do not want to smoke, but also applies to other vices such as overeating, excessive drinking or sexual addiction. Know which methods in the treatment of addiction do not work is also useful.
