symptoms are very slight or non-existent. It is during this period that most young smokers convince themselves that they can easily quit when they want to, but as the addiction grows it soon becomes harder to stop.
All too soon, the person starts to act and think like an addict. By then the psychological aspects of the habit, far outweigh the chemical addiction. Thence, true to an addictive personality, the smoker insists that they can give up when they really want to, that they get pleasure, there’s ‘no problem’ and so on. This cumulative addictive effect, coupled with the social pressure when people start to smoke, explains why the drug has got such a foothold in the lives of millions of intelligent people , and why so many people put off learning how to quit smoking until it’s too late.
