How Does Socializing Affect People Who Are Quitting Smoking?
Posted: Jun 17, 2009 |

As I was quitting smoking, I found it extremely hard to be in social situations where my friends were smoking. The urge to smoke was unbearable, but it doesn’t have to be.
The problem with people who smoke socially is that they want everybody else around them to smoke. Even when I was coming to the end of my time as a smoker and realized how bad it was for your body, I still didn’t want to smoke alone. It’s something bizarre about the way that smoking works.
It’s hard to be around your friends while they smoke because they have branded you as a smoker. It’s subconscious, just like the actual urge to smoke. It will take a while after you stop smoking for your friends to break their connection between you and smoking, but it will happen.
How hard it is to be around smokers while quitting also depends on your method of quitting. With nicotine replacement therapy, it was impossible to be around smokers without wanting to take the patch off and start chain smoking. However, if you choose a method that actually stops your mental urge to smoke, it becomes a lot easier to be around smokers without wanting to smoke.
Quitting smoking is one of those things that is made hard mostly because everybody has always said that it’s hard, so if you don’t manage to quit smoking it’s more understandable. This is part of the whole evil of smoking that is so hard to escape, but when things are at their worst and you find yourself screaming inside for a cigarette, just remember how good you will feel the next day having known that you didn’t give in to smoking once again.
