Nicotine is the hardest of habits to stop – even when you’re ready. If you smoke, or know someone who does, you probably know all the facts about the dangers of smoking. But people don’t change because of facts. Smoking happens to be the main lifestyle habit that is tied to increased risk of cancer, and if knowing this fact were enough, none of us would ever start smoking in the first place. This dilemma about nicotine addiction is an excellent example of why willpower is not enough to change any problem habit. And shaming people into change doesn’t help either. In this episode of Habits into Health, host Michael Anne Conley offers perspective to support your exploration of changing this – or any other habit that has gotten the better of you. This episode includes an experiential exercise. To explore more, go to habitsintohealth.com.
