How much of cigarette addiction is physical and how much is cognitive?
Q. I wonder if addiction physically is more powerful or if the cognitive aspect of thinking about it is more to blame. Or..are they both intertwined creating physical addiction...my smoking feels more cognitive than physical.

A. Interesting question. I think in part it's physical (like the nicotein.. sp?), but a lot of it is cognative. For example, when people are stressed or if they're drinking or bored, or out with friends, they light up out of habit. Perhaps it's not because they're physically addicted to it, but rather it's just something they "do". When people try to quit, they try to replace the smoking habit with something else, like reading, eating, exercising.. whatever works for them. They take their mind off of smoking with something, which really suggests that smoking is just a cognative habit. It's just getting replaced with something else to do.

If you take medications, then if you stop, you may get the symptoms again. So I think meds don't usually cure the disorder, but rather control it and treat it. Plus in the end taking meds is more expensive due to the reasons above. Nevertheless I'm not sure if the medical approach is preferred - perhaps the answerer above me is rightOther very popular approach is behavioral therapy. It's when you for example overcome phobias by exposing yourself to the stimuli that you are afraid of. Often behavioral therapy is used together with cognitive therapy - you get a… [cont.]
