🚭 MYTH & FACT TUESDAY

❌ MYTH: “Smoking is just a habit. You can stop whenever you want.”

✅ FACT: Smoking can lead to ni****ne dependence, which can make quitting difficult even when a person genuinely wants to stop.

So, when someone struggles to quit, it is not simply a matter of “not trying hard enough.” Ni****ne can create dependence that makes stopping challenging.

Smoking is not just a habit - it can become an addiction.

Let’s encourage and support those who are trying to quit. 🚭
