Hey
If your really serious about kicking your addiction people, you can't just say "Ok, I'll just reduce the number of cigs i smoke everyday by one, maybe that'll work". It does not work.
Ozzy Osborne of the ex Black Sabbath fame said in his interview that he'd tried every kind of drug he could get his hands on, and has now gotten over everything as well, but the most difficult thing to get rid of was his addiction to nicotine.
See, cigarettes are not just bad for your health. They indicate that you are an ADDICT. Yeah, I know that sounds really bad, but that's coz it IS that bad. And atleast cocaine or heroine will kill you in a little while, eventually. But not so with nicotine. Oh no, nicotine kills you slowly, painfully torturing you to death. Now your mind would rationalise that thats ok as long as you don't feel your body dying, or that its a great way to go, so why give it up anyway?? However, when it starts to get really difficult to breathe; when you're 35 years old and don't have the energy to play basketball with your kid, when you're 40 and find yourself breathing bitter fumes through an inhaler every half hour, when you're 50 and your lungs feel like they're going to explode with pain, THEN you'll wish you'd tried harder to give up smoking when you could.
Don't let the owners of Marlboro or Wills or any other of these legalized drug dealers profit at the cost of your health, or get rich off your pain, people... Remember, there is no cure for asthma, or cancer. You just die in agony.

Whts ur take on this guys ??


cheers
thanx
Sorry, strongly disagree with this statement. I drink a lot, but no, I don't smoke. and I know a lot of people who drink, but won't go near a cigarette (even when drunk), and vice versa.
I do think its only a matter of will power. it hurts to be without the daily smoke in the beginning, but that's only till u realise that u r feeling a lot better, physically and can put in more effort than before (in whatever u do other than smoking)- from the experience of a close friend who succeeded in kicking the habit.

Someone told me, reiki helps, people serious to get rid of their addiction can seek support fm reiki.
u can choose to learn reiki, ort go to someone who gives reiki. Try and experience urself, the positives of reiki power.

Lol....DUDE!! Please tell us you're joking....right?!?
Ok, so if you're not joking, then it means the smoke from your three cigs is entering into the lungs of the kid living closest to you and killing him slowly. Sorry, don't mean to sound so harsh here, but.... it gets depressing sometimes, just to see it all happening and not being able to do anything about it.
Hmm..you need chewing gum? Try the nearest dept. store - even an average Wrigleys or Chloromint will help. Rest is upto you, and it won't be easy at all.
Good luck!

Nice to see support from people here. Great that people are trying hard to quit smoking. Hope you all are successful in doing so.


If you don't have it here (pointing to the heart), it doesn't matter what you've got here (pointing at the head).
