Yoo Jae Suk Discusses Quitting Smoking on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block
According to the tvN show You Quiz on the Block broadcast on September 9th, Yoo Jae Suk recounted his personal experience with quitting smoking and warned viewers about the challenges of addiction. The program featured hepatobiliary pancreatic surgeon Lee Joon Seo, who spoke about spending nine years overcoming alcohol addiction. Listening to Lee describe his recovery process prompted Yoo to share his own journey with quitting smoking.
Yoo stated on the broadcast that he used to smoke, noting, “It’s been 20 years since I quit.” He explained that breaking the habit required substantial effort. When attempting to taper off his consumption by telling himself he would smoke five cigarettes a day, he found that the method failed. “You have to quit smoking all at once,” Yoo said, adding that while alcohol might be somewhat different, gradually reducing intake is not easy.
The Long-Term Process of Nicotine Withdrawal
According to Yoo Jae Suk’s statements on the program, cravings persisted for a period after he stopped smoking entirely. He recalled that immediately after quitting, seeing others smoke would trigger thoughts of cigarettes. However, after five to ten years passed, the desire faded to the point where he no longer thought about it and eventually grew to dislike the smell. Yoo noted that it might be similar with alcohol.
