Nex Time You Light Up Your CIGARETTE and You Take That First Puff...

... remember that it's not the cigarette smoke you're swallowing and irreversibly releasing to the atmosphere...

IT'S YOUR OWN LIFE.

Every cigarette (thus every cigarette puff you take) shortens your life span. Stop and think about it... (?)

Does it feel good to SUCK the life out of yourself? Do you really like the taste of your own life in your mouth?

This realization alone has helped me to completely stop smoking, and I hope it does the same for you.

Regards,

    It's nice that people are trying to quit smoking and try to drag others from it.
    But this type of motivation just simply doesn't work. Why? Because people who smoke,
    especially for a longer time are aware that they are decreasing their health in general. Ofcourse, some don't because people always tend to think that bad things will pass them and can only happen to others lol.

    I've been smoking for 8 years now and I tried to quit and after hundreds of times I realized that I just don't want to quit. Why? Because I enjoy it. I like taking breaks, take cup of coffee and a cigarette. There were countless brilliant ideas I came up with while doing that. But it's entirely up to a person. I know others suffer from this and "can't quit" even if they want to.

    Well let me tell you this: It's something everybody can do. I know a lot of people from my circle who just stopped smoking. Just like that. One day they did and the other they quit. It's not something impossible to do and it's all in your head. And never actually believe people who say that it's hard or impossible or you should slowly quit... It's not the case. It's done just like that. And there's never a good moment to quit, so if you do want to stop, just do it. And don't think about it, don't try to count how many hours,days,weeks you haven't smoked. Cause if you do, more than likely you will start again. I hope that helps.

    Just my opinion.

    @Imwarlock - thanks for being so honest about it.
    I think what you said about the fact that you DON'T want to stop can be applied to so many other things.
    Like to lose weight, start working out, stop drinking etc etc (or getting your online business up and running)

    Unless the person REALLY wants to stop a habit they may have temporary success but it won't last.

    I live in France where smoking is still considered my many as "sexy", it is very hard for a smoker here to quit - but some do.

    Good luck for you smokers and finding a method that works .... that is IF you want to!! :p

    have a great day,
