2022-07-10 13:51:28 +0000 UTCI think the problem is operant conditioning. Your positive ideas of cigarettes is what makes them so attractive, which is why it's so hard to quit. I want you to try something else for me; Whenever you have those romanticized ideas of smoking, instead of thinking about it in a positive way, think about how terrible cigarettes are for you. Think about how it will give you lung cancer and how unpleasant treatment for it will be, imagine black lungs (google a picture of a smoker's lungs, it ain't a pretty sight), your teeth being completely rotten, a festering sore on your lip, looking 50 at age 30 (opposite of youthful ;)), and pretty much anything negative. The appeal of cigarettes might diminish a bit. Condition your brain to think these things instead, might yield some interesting results. If you ever have the time, read this: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Habit-What-Life-Business/dp/081298160X Or find a summarized version of it on youtube or something. The fact is, we are creatures of habit. Almost every daily activity we do is a result of some habit formed, which is probably why you don't feel right when you aren't smoking after eating a meal or whatever. It might have less to do with the nicotine being addicting and more just the habit of smoking a cig after a meal. Replacing cigarettes with cold water might do the trick in terms of ingraining a new and healthier habit, and it certainly seems to have worked. One more thing, apparently there have been tests where people trying to quit smoking were told to play Tetris instead, and that worked too. Wouldn't hurt to try.

As you said they're kinda different from other substances I find drinking disgusting but not cigarettes they're .... cool ig. (also the audio cuts out for some reason in the middle of the video idk if it's intentional just letting you know).
