What are smoking needs? Why do we smoke?

How to determine the most common reason when people start smoking cigarettes and thus determine the need that is responsible for reaching for the first cigarette? The most common translation is that it caught fire because of:

curiosity - that is, it is a need for unknown sensations,
because others in the group were smoking - the need to become part of a group, belonging,
out of boredom - the need to look for stimulation, a variety of stimuli,
I wanted to be more: cool, sexy, more adult - the need to be more attractive, more noticeable.

All these needs are obvious, but the way in which you want to meet them is a bigger problem because there is a close relationship with the later consequences, which we will unfortunately face sooner or later.

How do we learn to properly meet our needs?

Unfortunately, during our upbringing we are not informed how to properly fulfill our needs. We often succumb to patterns from the environment, very often they are almost experimental behavior, for example, satisfying the need to smoke the first cigarette.

If such behavior brings us any pleasure and we repeat this act, not being completely aware of why we did it, what guided us (what need) - then the satisfied need will bring a feeling of pleasure, while the unsatisfied or satisfied needs will become only apparently unpleasant for us.

Smoking cigarettes very quickly becomes a very illusory way to deal with all troubles, dilemmas and stress. Unfortunately, although at the beginning of the addiction we feel the beneficial effects of tobacco, such as: stimulation, as well as increased concentration, as time passes we become more and more addicted, which means we are exposed to health problems (related to smoking), as well as very often increasing personal life problems.

Self-observation when quitting smoking

During the quitting process, we can learn many things about ourselves and about the process of quitting smoking. By observing ourselves, we will find out what psychological needs we satisfy while smoking a cigarette. It is possible that each cigarette meets our needs or performs a different function for us.

If we smoke when we are nervous, it means that the cigarette has been used to regulate our emotions. If, after smoking a cigarette, we begin to feel reassured, we think that we have achieved the goal - but we must remember that this goal was achieved, unfortunately, in a way that is extremely detrimental to our health.

Therefore, when quitting smoking, you should think how else you can calm down, calm down, eliminating the way to calm down by smoking. The same analysis of our behavior should be applied to every other situation in which we reach for another cigarette (what need, reason, attempt to replace a given need, an attempt to divert attention from it).

In quitting the addiction, it is very important to understand and analyze your needs, because this will prevent the feeling of frustration and possible dissatisfaction with giving up the addiction, because we manage to satisfy our needs in a way other than smoking. The whole process of breaking addiction requires very hard work on yourself and your habits. After all, this work will pay off very much, because we will gain a healthy life and in harmony with ourselves.
