Clarity

Smoking doesn’t relieve stress—it causes it, disguising withdrawal as relaxation. You weren’t born needing cigarettes; you were conditioned. There’s no real pleasure in smoking, only the relief of a discomfort the cigarette created. The trick is to pause and watch your breath during cravings, allowing them to pass like waves. Don’t try to cut down—quitting fully is the only way out. Each time you resist, you’re not depriving yourself—you’re reclaiming clarity.
