Many people have repeatedly tried to get rid of the bad habit, but they cannot quit smoking. Experts told why it is difficult to do and gave advice on how not to stop on the way to giving up tobacco products.

At the moment, six million people die annually from the consequences of smoking. Despite such disappointing statistics, the number of smokers is practically not decreasing, and in many countries it is even increasing. Experts note that this addiction is very strong and people do not take doctors' warnings about the health risks seriously, as they consider them abstract and irrelevant.

Only with age, when health begins to fail, do smokers think about the reasons and make attempts to get rid of the addiction. It is in this case that the chances of getting rid of it are the highest.
