"It works, but it works" .... The smoker is said to remain a smoker for life, even though he may have stopped smoking. Regular use of nicotine in the brain increases the alpha4beta2 receptors for this chemical. This leads to nicotine addiction. If you stop smoking, these receptors will not disappear, but only "sleep". Therefore, every other attempt to quit smoking is getting harder and harder. You stop smoking, even for 14 years like me, you don't even feel like a cigarette anymore, it stinks, you don't need to smoke and suddenly you say "what was it like ???". So I'll try, just to remember what it was like and that it's disgusting. It's disgusting, it stinks, in the mouth like in a reformatory, the head is spinning, ....... but the other one (especially when you give yourself courage with alcohol) is not so terrible anymore. The third one goes and then it's stupid of you to keep talking about a cigarette, so you buy one (but really only one box). The receptors wake up and you're a smoker again. And the decision to buy only one box is gone somewhere. It's important not to light one. Addiction to nicotine is not as fierce as dependence on one's own activities, on one's own smoking, when smoking fills a gap. Well, as I write this way, I'd like one, but I've been a non-smoker for some time now and maybe I'll stay. It's a fight.
