For many people, smoking becomes a source of comfort, companionship, and stress relief.

制作自己的清单的技巧

Try crafting your own list of pros and cons, so you can better understand what smoking means to you and to open your eyes to the good, bad, and ugly of nicotine addiction. Think about how smoking makes you feel, both physically and emotionally. Try to honestly list out all of the positives and negatives. Don't worry about editing yourself, just jot down whatever comes to mind. You'll soon realize that the pros are insignificant when compared to the long list of problems that come with smoking.

认为在类别

To better organize your pros and cons list—and to make sure you're including all of the negatives and benefits of smoking—consider breaking up your list into the following categories:

  • 财务
  • 健康
  • Intrapersonal processes
  • Social environment
  • 物理环境
  • 食物和体重

Consider Pros and Cons of Quitting

研究人员还建议列出戒烟的利弊,这可以帮助你更好地区分任何阻止你戒烟的“利弊”。举个例子,你可能会说一个赞成吸烟的人是社会认可的人,但是你要意识到戒烟并不会让你的朋友对你的认可度降低。

Involve Friends and Family

问所爱的人他们对你的喜欢和讨厌smoking habits and add it to your list. And once you decide to quit, make sure to tell these same friends and family members about your efforts so they can help support your smoking cessation goal.

保持灵感

在你做出戒烟决定后,你的利弊清单也会对你有所帮助。将它添加到智能手机的笔记部分,或者在口袋里的一张小纸片上草草记下列表。当你开始怀疑自己的决定或与渴望作斗争时,参考你的清单作为灵感的来源。用它来建立一次又一次戒烟的动力。

A Word From Verywell

In order to take that brave step toward quitting, you need to change your relationship with smoking. A pros and cons list can help you clearly see smoking as a problem rather than a solution. This exercise is a great first step in getting in the right mindset for quitting smoking and soon reaping the rewards of a smoke-free life.
