Make Quitting Smoking A Reality |

Quitting smoking is an art. Making quitting a reality is not far once you
earn a strong and sincere WILL to STOP SMOKING.
I will share a real story of one of my close
friends who at last succeeded to cease cigarette smoking. Often he used
to argue, “if everybody quits smoking, what will happen to the tobacco
industry? Millions of employees will be retrenched!”
…What
a perverted style of argument! I used to reply.
One day when he
told me his new found quest to quit smoking I asked him, “what happened?
Why you want to quit smoking? Why are you now thinking about the reverse
gear, all of sudden?
After hearing him, I analyzed his situation. Perhaps numerous smokers all over the word who
smoke have common reasons for smoking and quitting. When they start it,
they do so, perhaps due to the pleasant pressure put on them by their
peer group. They never think that the matter could go that far! And
finally after years of tobacco smoking, when the family doctor warns
about the worsening condition of their heart, it shows the strains of
crack. The pain faced might soon become a mild attack of stroke. So they
decide to be very careful now!
After this encounter with the
heart specialist, quitting smoking is no more a passing thought in the
mind, but becomes a sincere goal to accomplish! All smokers have heard
about nicotine, but only after spending their years in the company of
cigarettes they realize that it can cause this much damage to them!
Hearing
all this, now you might be amazed and sorry to know that nicotine is not
an ordinary addictive- it is as hard and damage causing enemy as heroin
and cocaine.
Not to get
frustrated and desperate is the rule number one in your efforts to quit
smoking Because, nicotine is a very powerful enemy and after years of
smoking it gets deeply entrenched in your blood cells. Therefore, be
ready for its counterattack! Be ready to face and tackle dizziness,
depression, irritation, frustration, anger, headache, restlessness,
trouble in reading and concentration. But your efforts to quit smoking,
is worth its weight in gold. For apart from the attack you had, you have
suffered enough on account of nasal irritation, running nose, watery
eyes, sneezing, throat irritation, coughing and much more.
So you have a brilliant thought within you to quit smoking! As
the wise saying goes, when the thoughts are changed, the mind is
changed. When the mind is changed, the man is changed. When the man is
changed, the society is changed. Well, the entire society of millions of
smokers is waiting for you to give them the lead.
…Have a happy
ending to your quit smoking resolution which is going to become a
reality this time, hopefully.
