On the eve of the Anti-Smoking Day, which will be held in Israel next week, the "Cancer Association" psychologists are calling on the population to quit smoking. Psychologists say that the widespread belief that cigarettes are calming is erroneous. Amos Teple - the consultant of the association - explains that it's all about self-hypnosis, according to the Internet edition for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net A person who smokes knows that smoking is harmful, at the same time very much wants. Therefore, he begins to come up with arguments in favor of smoking. It turns out to be a vicious circle: a person needs a cigarette, since it became a habit. If at the moment there is no cigarette at hand, he starts to get nervous. After receiving a cigarette, the smoker immediately calms down. But in fact, in itself, the cigarette initially created stress.

The political situation also often leads to stress, but if a person seeing a terrorist attack on the TV screen nervously clutching at a cigarette to calm down, it will not happen more quickly than if he just got distracted, engaged in something else or quietly sitting.

In addition, smoking causes a fairly tangible blow and the purse. As counted statistics, a person who smokes a pack a day for 20 years, spends for this time on cigarettes about 60 thousand shekels (about 12 thousand dollars). To date, there are many different ways to get rid of bad habits. But they all boil down to one thing: in order for the task to be realized, it is first of all necessary to be psychologically ready for this.
