Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Smoking does not produce marked decreases in overall self-regulation. Instead, the addictive nature of nicotine (A), the breakdown of the desire to quit under stress (C), and the sensitivity to environmental cues even after quitting (D) are all valid reasons that contribute to the difficulty in quitting smoking. The incorrect statement (B) suggests a general decrease in self-regulation due to smoking, which is not a direct reason why people struggle to quit smoking despite knowing its risks.
