If you quit smoking, will you have a stronger willpower?

Answer 1

Yes. Quitting smoking is a very hard thing to do. It takes a lot of willpower and in the end you're a stronger person. You're also a healthier person.

Answer 2

Maybe not. If the need for smoking is due to a low blood sugar condition (hypoglycemia) (www.hufa.org), then quitting will be very healthy for you, but then you will have to fight the cravings for food or sweets. So you will need even stronger willpower after quitting, because a food addiction is even worse that a cigarette addiction.

I have read that if you start on a diet that levels blood sugar, prior to quitting smoking, it makes it easier to quit, and helps to prevent the post quit cravings - and the post quit weight gain that results.

Best wishes.

Answer 3

That's what I have read and heard - that the physical and psychological effects of stopping smoking are harder than quitting heroin. And with cigarettes, you see people smoking everywhere, or can still smell it on them, or see the cartons on the shelves at the store, so it's something that's hard to stop thinking about. You don't see people doing heroin on their breaks at work (atleast no where I've ever worked, lol). I remember how hard it was for me to quit. I felt like total crap for weeks, my heart was racing like crazy, dizziness, irritability, etc. I ended up quitting by eating all the Enteman chocolate chip cookies I wanted every time I wanted a cigarette. Seriously! I gained weight, but took it off after the strongest cigarette cravings stopped. It's worse of course if your significant other smokes. When I quit smoking, I was dating a guy who detested smoking, so I had an extra incentive =). I didn't get to kiss him until I brushed my teeth five times and if I wanted to smoke, he'd make me go outside, even in sub-zero weather. I hope that you can quit someday honey. I know it's so darn hard to quit. Heroin users can go to clinics at the taxpayer's expense. People who want to quit smoking are on their own unless their insurance will cover treatment to help them. Take care my friend.

Answer 4

Actually the act of quitting takes more willpower than staying off the cancer sticks, so I would say no. Willpower is something you conjure up as needed. What's more important than willpower is WON'Tpower.

Answer 5

It helps great deal, also look for behavioral techniques to help. Find way to keep your mouth and hands busy during those habitual times you smoked. Chew regular gum or lick on hard candy. Carry pad a paper and pen, and write yourself a note when urge hit. It was around the 14 day when stuff in my system call the loudest.

Answer 6

Yes, of course. You will become far stronger, because u will realize that u can.
Thankfully, ppl like me dont have to try and quit smoking because i already know that i can and thus have a powerfull will power.
