A week without tabaco. Hi guys! I'm smoker since I was 17 years old and I'm 23 now. I pass 6 years of my short life smoking an I think its time to avoid it. When can I considered my self as a ex-smoker? How many time has to pass to consider a person as a ex-smoker?? The thing is that when you are smoker you have a nicotine dependence. This something physical, your body reclaims nicotine to keep the nicotine level in your blood, so you are considered smoker when you'r body reclaims you a cigarette. Experts says that the nicotine dependency disappear about two weeks later to avoid the tabaco. If you don`t smoke nothing in two weeks you body won't reclaim nicotine because you'r nicotine level might be zero, so it doesn't want nicotine. This is the physical part of the tabaco addiction but it is nor the only part of addiction neither the main one. We have another part with is much more dificult to scape, the psychological part. When you're smoker, you get used to smoke every day at the same hours more or less, you used to smoke a cigarette at morning with you cup of coffee, you smoke another one when you finish your lunch, is typical to smoke when you are going to go to the toilet, etc. There are some moments on the day when you are get used to smoke and your mind remember it you when you try to avoid the habit. This is the psychological part of the smokers and this is the more dificult part to avoid. About this part the traditional way is to think in others things, and experts says than when you want to be ex-smoker you need to avoid the typical situation you (when you was smoker) had smoked a cigarrete. If you avoid this situation your mind might not remember you to smoke. In my opnion, the worse thing to give up smoking is the sleeplessness because in this moment you can't do nothing, because all people is sleeping and you can't do this kind of thing you do to avoid thinking with the tabaco like a go out with your friends. Today I don't know what to do in this situation, Does someone know? I would wonderful if someone can help me. I have not gone out to the party even later to avoid the cigarette, and I'm afraid that I'm going to return to smoke when I'm going to go out. What kind of things can I do to avoid it?
