Question

Which of the following is a helpful way to overcome an addiction to smoking tobacco?

Answer 1

Answer:

Avoid tobacco products and people who smoke, and attend group counseling sessions.

Explanation:

Harm of smoking is well known and widely reported, yet many people continue to smoke because they are addicted. Nicotine is the substance responsible for tobacco addiction. Addiction to any kind of substance has emotional effects, so that in order to stop smoking, a person needs to break the chemical as well as psychological addiction to nicotine. For this, it is important to seek help, such as group therapy for people who are quitting smoking. This is important because that group creates a welcoming and mutually supportive environment. On the contrary, living with smokers during this period can be a disincentive, because seeing the person smoking you will feel like smoking too and maybe you can not resist and ascend a cigarette too. That would put all your effort in vain. Therefore, the second alternative is correct.

Answer 2

Avoid tobacco products and people who smoke, and attend group counseling sessions.
