Psychologists and health experts are happy that people at least realize the hazards of smoking which is why they make the resolution in the first place. A constructive approach according to them would be to see as to why the resolve gets broken and what are the deterrents that come in the way. According to a recent research it is not so much a question of will power but the fact that there persist innumerable myths and misperceptions about the effects of smoking and the treatments designed to help smokers quit. Unless these are resolved, no amount of regulation – enforced or voluntary will help smokers give up the habit.
