As conclusões sobre o meu caso:
You do not have a strong physical dependence on nicotine, so you could consider quitting cold turkey—or without a medication to help you manage withdrawal symptoms. You can pick a day convenient for you to stop smoking on your own. Even without a physical need, you could still have strong urges to smoke. That’s because smoking is both an addiction and a habit.
If you smoke when you're bored, on the phone, under stress, or in a dozen other everyday situations a support group or guidebook may help.
Please, tell me something I don’t already know!
Ainda assim, foi bom verificar que a percepção que tenho da minha dependência não está completamente enviesada… ;)
