Stimulation
For you, smoking is mostly a source of stimulation. You think that smoking increases your concentration, gives you courage and motivates you. Nicotine is indeed a stimulant, but you can do without it or find healthier alternatives.

The pleasure of smoking:
For you, smoking is more associated with the pleasure you get out of it rather than with the physical dependency. Be creative and you will surely find something else to enjoy!

Relaxation
You smoke mostly to relax and escape. In a nutshell, smoking makes you feel good. But there are other, far less dangerous ways of relaxing. Think about it!

Psychological support:
For you, smoking is a way of dealing with emotions like stress, anxiety or boredom. You find smoking comforting and soothing. Rest assured that you can deal with your emotions without smoking.

Physical need:
For you, smoking is first and foremost a physical need. You have the urge to smoke as soon as you wake up. Fortunately, you can put an end to this slavery and be free again.

Habit:
You smoke mostly out of habit. It's more of a reflex than a necessity. You can't imagine certain daily situations without a cigarette: after a meal, with coffee, during work breaks... Just be aware that you can replace these associations with healthier ones.
