ing sensations were also claimed to accompany emotional satisfaction and bring about relief from stress, anger or boredom. Participants also expressed disinterest in smoking cessation strategies such as anti-smoking policies, ads and routine medical advice, stating that they do not gain direct benefits from these strategies, as compared to sustaining smoking.Conclusion: This study exposes important considerations that focus on entrenched personal emotional attachments to smoking, and directly implicates smoking cessation strategies that offer no more than information dissemination, pharmacological treatment and behavioral interventions.
