Les habitudes sont des choses que nous apprenons à faire automatiquement, sans y réfléchir. [...] Elles en viennent à faire partie de notre routine quotidienne, c'est-à-dire des activités avec lesquelles nous nous sentons à l'aise parce qu'elles n'exigent pas de nous des pensées ou des efforts conscients. [...] La pensée consciente est l'une des clés pour rompre ou déconstruire votre habitude de fumer et la routine qui l'entoure. Vous devez donc prendre conscience des émotions et des activités auxquelles vous en êtes venu à associer la cigarette -- c'est-à-dire les facteurs qui vous poussent à fumer et ce que vous offre apparemment la cigarette ainsi que ce à quoi le tabac est censé vous préparer. 1, record 3, French, - habitude%20de%20fumer
