Furthermore, several intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to the individual's motivation to engage in the recovery process of quitting the smoking habit. These factors include hereditary and environmental issues but are not limited to them alone. We shall analyze the brain structures and functions associated with the motivation to abstain from smoking and evaluate the influence of these extrinsic and intrinsic factors on motivation, particularly focusing on brain physiology and psychology.

"Motivation can be conceptualized as brain activity that processes' input' information about the internal state of the individual and external environment and determines behavioral 'output'" (Chambers, Taylor & Potenza, 2003). The motivation for change among smokers plays a major part in recognizing the need for treatment and achieving sustained change without relapse. The recovery process for smokers is complicated by psychological and physiological addictions, making the entire treatment hard to continue. Often, most of the smokers relapse at one point with no intention to continue. This is mainly because of their fear to withstand the treatment and maintain the subsequent change of action. However, motivation in most addicts is a complex process. The recovery depends on their addiction's intensity and how much it has influenced their physical and psychological system.

Factors influencing motivation are both extrinsic and intrinsic. Motivating individuals to quit smoking is influenced by these factors, associated with several psychological and physiological interventions. Self-control and health concerns are considered intrinsic motivational factors, while reinforcement and social influence are the extrinsic motivational factors. While extrinsic factors are based on environmental and social aspects, intrinsic factors are based on goal-oriented behavior. Any addict trying to refrain from substance abuse has to be influenced by several of these motivation-promoting factors to challenge, control, and compete with their physiological and psychological limitations. "Although extrinsic motivators can be useful in bringing a client into treatment and increasing retention, self or intrinsic motivation is important for substantive and abiding change." (Miller, 1999, p.84).
