We all have cravings; it's more common than you think! Whether you’re a long-time cigarette smoker or you got hooked on the disposable vape trend, I’m sure you have realised that quitting is not easy. But what if I told you that it could be made easy, given you took the right steps? Here at Vaporium Cafe, we encourage all of our customers to take back control of their nicotine intake, putting them on a path to kicking that habit over time.

While cutting down the usage of cigarettes may be easy to begin with, it's the odd craving for it during a bad day or the FOMO you feel socially that can throw you back into your old smoking habits. Because you’ve been smoking for years, There are actually 4 components attached to smoking that the typical long time smoker has to over come.

Understanding Your Addictions

1. The psychological effect which will have you craving the emotional release you get when you’re smoking a cigarette. There’s a form of ‘me-time’ we attach to smoking, where we can get left alone and give ourselves the time to reset.
2. Now the routine of preparing yourself to smoke is another form of addiction most ex smokers are still attached to. People tend to miss the whole experience of rolling or planning around the idea of a smoke break or even just the thought of stepping outside to destress with a cigarette; its comforting!
3. The third problem most ex smokers will face is another comforting habit. That feeling of inhaling heavy smoke and exhaling all your problems along with it is somewhat meditative and in often times, the only opportunity people give themselves to let go. All the deep breathing you do along with the little hold before releasing all that smoke filled air actually mimics the meditative state and is akin to the breathing techniques during deep meditation.
4. The last problem is chemical addiction. Now chemical addiction doesn’t only mean an addiction nicotine but also an addiction to the 7000+ other chemicals found in cigarette smoke. Depending on the duration of how long you’ve been a smoker, your body will crave more than just the nicotine and that’s the reason why people who have switched to vaping feel like something is missing because, quite simply, there is. It’s all those other chemicals that leave you with a hole unfilled. But as harmful as it is, its completely normal for our body still craves them subconsciously. We just need to be consistently aware and make the conscious decision to resist these cravings till our body full adjusts with out them.

So how do we go about overcoming these problems moving forward?

Together we can make it simple. All you have to do is flip the script. Everything you do subconsciously with the routine and the habit around cigarettes you can still do but with the mind to vape. The perks of vaping like smoking indoors can create new habits differentiating the feeling of smoking to the feeling of vaping but the idea behind quitting is to trick your brain by associating it to smoking as close as possible. An example would be to plan to step out and vape instead of vaping wherever your comfortable. Another thing that could help is getting a tobacco flavoured e-liquid just so your brain still thinks its the same as smoking a cigarette. Additionally, there’s nothing wrong with vaping socially. If people around you are smoking, just vape and maybe offer them the opportunity to slowly stop smoking and go for a healthier alternative.
