I always had a pressure on my chest and I now recognize it's not a craving it's stress and anxiety. I dont want to smoke anymore and I think I romantacised it a lot.
Now, I stood outside in a park, a sunny day, I had a herbal cigarette but after three puffs it felt off, my throat hurts again and I dont feel satisfied. I think I never felt satisfied or happy with a cigarette but I was just masking my stress and feelings of inadequacy.
I think this was a final straw from a journey. Even with my exams coming up, why smoke? The cigarette doesnt help, I need to help myself.
Cigarettes are like a bad situationship. If you're in their arms, it feels nice just like a real relationship but suddenly after you're home you feel empty and sad. After the breakup the first time clubbing, first study session, first time out with friends will feel awkward but you lost nothing and gained a life.
