I Quit Smoking. It was hard but I
I stopped smoking 15 years ago because the government had boosted taxes again. I was not going to pay (I think it was $ 2.00 pack)! That was it. I had to quit. <br>
Luck would have it I was not sitting with my father on the porch discussing fishing, when I noticed that he did not smoke. Here is a man whose cigarettes were so strong and hot that I even refused to borrow. He smoked those air pollutants for over 40 years. I told him asked why he did not smoke. He informed me that the company he worked for a program to help smokers quit. It had taken and had smoked for more than a month. <br>
I asked my father for a summary of how he stopped. It was really very simple. They were handed a book "How to Quit Smoking" (the author escapes me), he gave me the book. Whenever I had a cigarette, I would read the book. The book reveals how much smoking controlled my life. I went out in the middle of the night to get cigarettes, or even something simple like matchsticks. Or I wait I had finished cigarrette before entering in a building. The worst was when I moved to the northeast and I had to smoke outside in an Arctic gale. It was so cold. He became unbearable. <br>
When the break bell ran at work I would jog to the nearest exit to smoke a cigarette, and if I had chance I could quickly inhale 2 cigarettes. During the lunch break I eat my lunch and jog outside into an Arctic gale, have two cigarettes. It was pretty pathetic when I look back on him. <br>
I tried everything to quit smoking, I even been stupid enough to take the advice of a dear friend. He suggested that I smoke a pipe or cigar. The logic was that I smoke a cigar or a pipe instead of a cigarette. This would replace smoking is worse because the cigarette is inhaled, but not the pipe or cigar. What a great idea. <br>
Shortly after I started this anti-tobacco, I smoked a cigarette, cigar and pipe. I smoked a lot, I have not even had time to breathing oxygen. I felt like an incinerator. People would turn the sprinkler on me. <br>
I chose a long weekend to stop smoking. I bought 5 pounds of peanuts, it would help when I needed to breathe. I've been through weekend. I still want to smoke, but I resist. Now, 15 years later, I am one of those self-righteous non-smokers. Unfortunately, I think if I can stop smoking a pack and a half-day, more cigars and pipe tobacco, anyone can. <br>
It is tough at first, but if you can leave, the request will pass. There are now so cheap AIDS to help you, such as patches, pills, hypnosis, etc. It can be done.
