Sadhguru Tips: Smoking is one of the most challenging habits to quit due to nicotine addiction, but Sadhguru offers a unique perspective on how to break free from this compulsion with ease. In a recent talk, Jaggi Vasudev explains why smoking is not just harmful to your health but also a loss of the human ability to act consciously. By understanding the nature of this habit, Sadhguru believes it can be dropped effortlessly.
Smoking as a Compulsion, Not Just a Habit
Sadhguru begins by clarifying that he does not view smoking from a moral perspective. For him, the real issue lies in the compulsion that drives someone to smoke. He emphasizes that humans have evolved over millions of years to act consciously, but smoking compulsively undermines this evolutionary gift. The act of smoking, according to Sadhguru, is senseless when it harms the body, and the true concern is losing the ability to make conscious decisions.
Understand the Stupidity of Smoking
For Sadhguru, quitting smoking does not require force or strict rules. He suggests that once a smoker recognises the stupidity behind their habit, they naturally lose interest in it. Smoking may have seemed appealing in one’s youth, but with awareness, it becomes clear that inhaling harmful substances is a poor choice. Once this realisation sets in, the desire to smoke diminishes without the need for forceful quitting.
Avoid Replacing One Addiction with Another
Sadhguru also warns against trying to quit smoking forcefully. Doing so, he says, can lead to picking up other negative behaviors to compensate. Instead, he encourages a deeper understanding of why smoking is irrational and how it damages both physical and mental well-being. By acknowledging this, the habit can dissolve naturally, and no replacement behaviors will be necessary.
