Permanently smoke-free 2025?
Despite these well-documented benefits, many smokers find quitting to be a challenging endeavour. However, those who can successfully overcome this hurdle often cite a combination of determination and a clearly defined and acknowledged rationale for their attempt (Brown et al., 2020). The initial two months of abstinence are often the most difficult, but once this period is navigated, the chances of maintaining a smoke-free lifestyle increase significantly.
