Behavior Change Contract When the class first learned about the contract, I thought that this could really help me quit smoking if I stick with it. I smoke about a pack a day, or 20 cigarettes. I wanted to gradually decrease the amount of cigarettes I smoke each week for 7 weeks until I quit smoking. Unfortunately, it didn't work and I was smoking the same amount I started with after the first week of the contract. There are three sets of factors that really influenced me to continue smoking. The first factor is the reinforcing factor, smoking is a very social behavior and there are so many people who do it. There are always groups of people smoking anywhere and at any time. School is where I smoke the most cigarettes because I know a lot of people who smoke and every time I see someone I know smoking I join them and have a cigarette. Next comes the predisposing factor, this includes everything I already have in mind. For example, I am mentally addicted to cigarettes and feel like I will never be able to stop. In my opinion, this factor has the greatest influence on my smoking. The last factor is the enabling factor; Today, cigarettes are so easy to obtain, even for minors. Many stores don't even check IDs; they just sell them to anyone. Another favorable factor is that I earn money and can afford to buy cigarettes regardless of their price. As you see, these three factors had a lot to do with why I couldn't quit smoking cigarettes. I also think another reason I couldn't stop was because of the whole reward system..
