There are people who smoke every day from year to year💨Some people resort to smoking only in stressful situations🙅‍♀️And there are people who have no interest in smoking , even despite the fact that parents have been smoking cigarettes all their lives🙊From the point of view of psychoanalysis, we can say that people who smoke have impaired physical and emotional contact with their mother.▫️I explain▫️: We can associate the smoking process with the process of consuming breast milk .In the first year of life, the oral cavity is most closely related to the satisfaction of biological needs and pleasant sensations. This need must be satisfied qualitatively. When a breastfed child, he forms a close, healthy contact with the maternal object. Plus - the calm, loving, attentive attitude of the mother. If the feeding process was successful and ended calmly, then we say that the bodily-emotional contact of 1-2 years of life has been formed, the child has received everything he needs, and arrives in a state of calm. Under such developmental conditions, the craving for smoking is minimized, or reduced to “0”. If the child did not have enough milk, either the mother pumped and someone else (relatives, nanny) did the feeding, or they offered the child formula without making physical contact (N : swaddled, placed on the side, a bottle in the mouth, and the parent himself stands near the crib holding the bottle). In such children, the physical-emotional connection is disrupted, anxiety periodically sets in, because... the absence of a mother (an irreplaceable subject in the 1st year of life) is unsafe. Such people may experience periodic cravings for smoking in stressful situations; when the situation improves, the smoking process stops. Those. cigarette/vape/hookah/IQOS is, metaphorically speaking, “sucking on the breast”, through which calm comes.🧩If the mother is initially “cold”, arriving in a state of neurosis/depression, is not able to form emotional contact due to her experiences, then the feeling anxiety and fear accompany the baby quite often. That. basic trust in the world is violated (i.e. the mother is anxious, which means the world is unsafe). Even if breastfeeding is going on, but the mother’s emotional background is unstable, the child reads this. Such people become addicted to daily smoking, thereby calming themselves with this process. Of course, there are exceptions when a person develops, much is overestimated and a person can quit smoking forever, or resort to smoking only in stressful situations.
