Hello everyone - from 3:46 onwards you get the gist of it, This would've been up sooner, but the software just isn't as ambitious as I am. Couldn't render it properly the first 5 times.

Even just smoking passively gets in the way of your newly found ambition to improve your health. If honesty is an option, tell them you quit smoking, even if it was just that day & they ask "Since when?" I understand that some of you might not be ready for that confrontation, especially when you may doubt your own success.

I appreciate the sentiment of this video, but I somehow feel it might be (dare I say) lacking. Part of the problem (if it is one) is that only a small percentage achieve their goals of changing habits such as stopping smoking. Part of the problem (as I humbly see it and others i.e. psychologists have too) is that people see change as an all or nothing proposition. I think we can all agree that we want the end result to be that. But on the way to our goal most people will stumble and then (because they see themselves as completely failing) they give up. New Years resolutions are an example of this (with countless articles discussing this) . While I very much agree with your video here, I feel like that two qualities that are also needed are "resiliency" and "tenacity" perhaps mixed into a potion! Perhaps resiliency against the effects failure and tenacity to find a way to pick yourself up from failure. I do not know myself as I have just started trying to dissect this aspect of this myself.

I've seen, what, 50 such videos? This is the best one of out all of them. You deserve a 1000 times more subscribers than you have. How long have you been doing this?
Splendid work as usual. For a smoker, the people you hang out with is the first habit you must change so you can tackle the root habit. I believe the most addictive habits are related to other underlying micro-habits, let's say porn: a person thinks that the porn is the main problem but if you dig deeper, you find out that the internet is the problem. He's gotten used to sitting in front of the computer the second he's awake(cue) thereafter urges get triggered. It became automatic. Perhaps replacing other (micro) bad habits can ease the process of eliminating the hard ones. Thanks for yet another great video.
Speaking of smoker's cues in the book "Buyology" by Martin Lindstrom, the author found out through fMRI scans that the advertisement AGAINST smoking using disgusting pictures of lung/throat cancer and other diseases actually trigger the smokers to crave their cigarette rather than stopping him. The more disgusting and memorable the picture the more likely they will smoke again.

Fear is a tool that you can use to manipulate yourself i.e. your will power. This is an observation from my personal experience of quitting smoking. I smoked for 6 years, tried quitting many times; each ended in a fiasco. So one day I had experienced sudden breathing problems after walking up the stares to the first floor. It was frightening because at that point I thought that I got cancer or some other serious condition. Although it was nothing I really became afraid about my health and decided to quit that moment. Whenever I experienced urges to smoke I used fear as a counterbalance.
Hey bro I got a question, would u say I should read the books you post? I have 48laws but I also watched ur video... but I still wanna know would it b beneficial to read it or the video is enough
Put your cigarettes pack about 2-3 Kilo meter away from your house, when you get a cue, stand up and walk to your cigarettes pack, you will relax before reach em, and if you can't walk just watch the time for 3 minutes count (that's the cue moment is tricky) it can make you feel it's very long cue if you don't watch the time and count it, and watch out between the 2-3 day and the 7th day these are the most hard cues you'll get, between the second the third it'll be the highest amount of cues you'll get around 7 at that day and it'll get lower gradually in the seventh day it will spike and it will be very narrowed cue you'll feel, but hey it's only a cue, just keep your eyes on the timer and count 3 minutes or walk for 3 minutes, how ever there's some apps for making you busy with your hands some app that is for smoker and has some rewards, if you pass the 7th day you are in safe zone, ( i have tried some times but i was only get back smoking between 2-3 day or in the 7th ) now i'm free for 5 years, Good luck .
Great video! There are also great Habit apps available. For instance I currently use "HabitBull". It let's you keep track of multiple habits on your phone. Therefore you're able to see the weekly/ monthly progress.
I'm intrigued. I'll try it out. Thanks Sean! Definitely helps to track how well you've been doing. The longer you do well, the easier, since you don't want to break the success chain.
+illacertus because first of all their opinions do not matter .. and when you dont say your goals to people you have a higher chance of them working out because you dont have the stress of failure over your head ... think about it .. great channel man
Alcohol triggers my smoking. So i need to quit drinking... But i love drinking. Usually in big quantities on a weekend & in a very happy & funny drunk. Not good.... But i will persist.
Can you help me? Please? I quit smoking. I recognised my cue and gave myself a reward. But I can't quit heavy maturation. Can you suggest me some - rewards/alternatives? Sex doesn't replace it.
Breathing exercise! I notice when you smoke you are inhaling. When smokers are not smoking they look like they're hardly breathing. They can't wait to light up that cigarette to start inhaling or breathing. They should learn breathing exercises so they can relax and not relay on cigarettes to relax.
my smoking addiction was nothing like that at all...happy to share my full story for research purpose if u were to care...feel like you have the wrong addiction perspective
I said for up to 21 days. You can form heroin habit from few bumps every now and then. Do heroin for every day for 21 days and consider yourself hooked as fuck.
Jose Antonio Pineda Castro - Sorry mate your wrong, do heroin for 3 days straight then you can kiss goodbye the life you knew. Trust me you don't even want to go there once, let alone 3 times running. As a woman who has been there and survived by her wits, only just, then made it out, I'm still paying the price 15 yrs. later. Its truly an EVIL substance, only because of the amazing feeling that goes through your whole body, like a full body orgasm, which I do believe people think they have experienced but really haven't. As that involves 2 people that have a deep connection and it is not easy to achieve, I'm sure if it was there would be no one chasing the dragon, which by the way is what a heroin addict keeps chasing but never finds again, because those first few days can't be replicated, but by then you have another reason for chasing, the withdrawal's are hideous and painful. So stay away from the EVIL miss, in reality she's BITCH. Her claws don't settle skin deep, its all the way past the tissue and smack into cellular level. There is nothing dainty about our EVIL MISS.

What steps would you recommend in order to tackle internet addiction? It's not like smoking or any other commodity you can just stop using. We use the internet everyday and unfortunately unplugging is not easy/possible. Especially when everything you do, is with the internet (i.imgur.com/PUHZo.jpg).
Hello everyone - from 3:46 onwards you get the gist of it,
This would've been up sooner, but the software just isn't as ambitious as I am.
Couldn't render it properly the first 5 times. The struggle is real. haha
*Quit Smoking* - Want the change! It has to matter a whole lot to you.
When you feel the urge, distract yourself. Ignore it. Don't have cigarettes near you, anywhere, anytime. Stay away from your 5 min-break-smoke buddies for a couple of days (favorably atleast 10). Even just smoking passively gets in the way of your newly found ambition to improve your health.
If honesty is an option, tell them you quit smoking, even if it was just that day & they ask "Since when?" I understand that some of you might not be ready for that confrontation, especially when you may doubt your own success. Just say "I can't, sorry, but I'm incredibly busy this week." & keep staying away from the smoke you breathe in passively (huge cue / trigger!).
Remember how we covered that one should speak through their actions and not talk about achievements one hasn't reached yet? It's disarming people, people who might act as if they care for you, when they do not. You prevent them from sabotaging you. Think about it. They smoke, even though they know it's bad for them & now you want to stop doing it yourself. Why would you expect support from them (unless they're genuinely good people)?
The best way, of course, still is to just tell the world that you quit smoking and that that's that. When you actually mean it, that mindset alone might be enough for you to quit a bad habit for good.
Get hooked on a good habit like moving your body, in whatever way, shape or form. Drink lots of water daily. The benefits are endless and even if this may sound like commonsense to you, there's lots of people who only drink sugary beverages, who don't exercise and only consume destructive shit.
Before anyone says "it's not easy" again. It fucking is if you believe it is. Don't underestimate the power of the mind. It's not only doable, it's a walk in the park with the right attitude. Thinking "it's not easy" is already a sign for failure.

Illacertus it’s not that easy. You go through insomnia and terrible withdrawals. It’s a nightmare
If you want to stop smoking..just stop..it is just a commitment..
nice
my smoking addiction was nothing like that at all...happy to share my full story for research purpose if u were to care...feel like you have the wrong addiction perspective
At one point I gave up for a whole year, and stupidly started again. Just can't find the willpower at the moment.
Don't beat yourself up, mate.
0:34 you got it wrong 1)The Cue 2) The routine 3) the reward
To stop bad habits all you need is not do them for 21 days. Then the cold turkey is less deep.
No, you form a habit for up to 21 days. You had it backwards.
dragons that means I can do heroin for 20 days at a time! ?
I said for up to 21 days. You can form heroin habit from few bumps every now and then. Do heroin for every day for 21 days and consider yourself hooked as fuck.
