Start of Smoking Addiction – Quit Smoking Now

Imagine that your body has a small balloon inside it. Let’s say that we have a balloon for each addiction that exists. The balloon is just lying there. It doesn’t cause any harm since it’s not inflated. For the same reason, we don’t feel anything because it’s not inflated.

When you smoke your first cigarette, what happens? Nicotine is a very fast drug. It goes through your veins and blood and in no time, the nicotine has found its way to the nicotine balloon and starts to inflate the balloon for the first time. By inflating the balloon, the balloon is pushing aside some of your intestines and fighting to claim his spot in your body. Because the balloon is inflating gradually, you are not aware of this change in your body.

From the moment you extinguish your cigarette the balloon starts to deflate again leaving behind an open space. Every time you light another cigarette, the balloon inflates again, and becomes a support for your intestines. When your cigarette is finished, the balloon starts to deflate again and starts creating an empty feeling in your stomach.

This empty feeling is caused by the deflated balloon now is no longer supporting your intestines. The balloon has created a vacuum in your body and your body wants to fill up this vacuum again. This is a way to describe the empty feeling you feel when you haven’t smoked for a while.

Your body starts creating a need for a cigarette and nicotine. Without nicotine, without the inflated balloon inside, you start feeling uncomfortable because of this vacuum, this hungry feeling you have inside. From the moment you light a cigarette, the balloon inflates and you feel comfortable again. You feel sure and supported because of the inflated balloon.

Actually, when you smoke, you feel the same as the moment before you started smoking. This is important to understand. When you smoke a cigarette, you take yourself and your body back to the condition it was in before you ever started smoking! If it’s not clear or if you are still confused about this sentence, read it again and think about it for a while. Let it really sink into your mind and make sure you fully understand what we mean here.

See you soon,
