Why People Continue To Smoke

If they become a non-smoker most people know they will save several thousands of pounds a year. Most people also know they could add years to their life. And most people know if they become a non-smoker right now they could save their health - before it’s too late. So why do people continue to smoke? Experience from research in the UK and USA suggests the answer is the same all over the world. It comes down to one thing… FEAR.

  • FEAR you'll have to give up your pleasure
  • FEAR you'll lose your emotional support
  • FEAR you won't be able to enjoy life or handle stress
  • FEAR you'll put on weight
  • FEAR it'll be a traumatic experience to get free
  • FEAR you've been a smoker for too long
  • FEAR you'll never be completely free of the craving

Overall the one simple reason you have not become a non-smoker is you fear it is going to be too painful and too difficult.
