We are inundated constantly with stories of how smokers used ""Willpower"" to quit smoking but is it successful? Fuck no

Willpower is a terrible method used by those who don't understand their nicotine addiction and fool themselves into thinking they can cheat the system by blocking their mind to any knowledge of how easy it is to quit by avoiding reading about the nicotine trap.

So called 'experts' advise us to jump from one gimmicky product to another and combine these patches and pills with willpower to assist us in quitting but it has such a low success rate, you'd find it easier to quit by locking yourself in a padded room for 100 days closed off from the outside world. What do you think would happen after these 100 days? Well for one you would instantly binge on cigarettes. Willpower simply does not work for the vast majority of smokers.

You may think right now "hold on but my friend quit using patches or through hypnosis". I can assure you they quit in spite of these costly methods, not due to their so called 'positive effects'.

Any willpower method is guaranteed to fail and any product makes it harder to quit. Quitting is easy and instant once you are knowledgeable about the illusions of so called withdrawal symptoms and how lucrative of a commercial market gimmicky products and so called ""quit smoking aides"" are.

It's no surprise that instead of starting off our attempts to quit with a feeling of ""I'm free! I'm free I now understand why I used to smoke and how to avoid the roadblocks to successfully quitting!"" we start off our quitting journey with a feeling of apocalyptic doom, like as if we were making some horrible sacrifice instead of celebrating freeing ourselves from nicotine slavery and lessening our chances dramatically of contracting horrifying diseases.

Even if we assume willpower is a method to help us, at best you go a few days to a few weeks without smoking but as time goes on, all the powerful feelings that made you want to quit start to disappear and the nicotine demon takes a strangehold again. And while we have quit we feel no physical pain, we don't understand why the nicotine monster is screaming to be fed, we only translate it's slow death as ""I WANT A F***ING CIGARETTE AND I WANT IT NOW"".

Despite our vast intelligence, our brainwashed minds do not logically comprehend that the nicotine dependency is dying off, instead we are warped into thinking that we have to continue to feed our bodies with nicotine poison in order to get rid of the nicotine monster. It's illogical and another reason why willpower is far from sufficient. If you choose willpower, you choose the losing side of the battle every time.

How do you win the battle? We'll explore this in the next video. #onelastcigarette #quitsmoking #selfhelp #smoke #cigarette #nicabate #nicorette #allencarr #justinmatters #vaping #hypnosis #quit #tobacco
