Really want to finally quit smoking because of the negative impact on my mental health. My quit date is feb 1. Ive done the math, at 5 minutes a cigarette 20 times a day. That's 1 hour and 40 minutes simply spent smoking a cigarette. Then theres the time getting yourself ready for a smoke, like putting on your jacket, going outside, going downstairs at work, etc. Say another 5 minutes average, theres another 1 hour and 40 minutes. In total now, 3 hours and 20 minutes. Then theres the time spent thinking about, being distracted by, and planning for the cigarette. Although its likely more, say another 5 minites average, another 1 hour and 40 minutes. In total now that's 5 hours of my day revolving around ciagrettes. I sleep an average of 8 hours a day, so i spend thr other 16 hours awake. 5 out of the 16 hours i spend awake are spent revolving around smoking. Thats 31.25% of my waking hours spent revolving around cigarettes. A third of my real life revolves around smoking! Thats why i want to quit, i want that third of my life back.
