In "The Power of Habit," Charles Duhigg discusses the cue, routine, reward cycle, a framework that forms the crux of habit formation and modification.
This cycle is pivotal in understanding and altering addictive behaviors such as smoking or vaping.
The Inhalace, by employing the straw method of breathing, ingeniously taps into this cycle. Here's how:
Cue: The urge to smoke or vape acts as the initial trigger. In response, the individual reaches for the Inhalace instead of a cigarette or vape pen.
Routine: Using the Inhalace involves practicing controlled, deep breathing. This mimics the act of smoking but replaces it with a healthy, stress-reducing activity.
Reward: The reward in this new cycle is the immediate feeling of relaxation and reduction in craving intensity, attributed to the physiological benefits of deep breathing.
Through consistent application, the Inhalace reprograms the brain's response to cravings, substituting a harmful habit with a beneficial one. This method does not merely mask the addiction but addresses the underlying cycle of cue, routine, and reward, offering a practical and sustainable approach to quitting smoking or vaping.
