The truth about smoking

I’ve been smoking for about 20 years on and off and I always cultivated the ability to quit and restart. I know it is a dangerous game, but danger sometimes is fun, a source of knowledge and a stimulus to learn new things.
The fact is I did love savouring a nice cigarette sometimes with a cold beer or while sipping my fave whisky, but at the same time I did not like being smoke dependant with all related disastrous side effects and habits.

So after years of battling and researching I found out a few important things.
We all know that nicotine does not last long in our body in reality, what creates dependence is our low psychology and our poor understanding of the whole process . And some old myths and preconceptions hereby I would like to destroy.

Quitting smoking is easier than learning to play piano or solving Math problems, but you don’t become proficient overnight. Yet if you put enough studying and exercise in it, every body can become fairly good at and will eventually be able to master the process instead of becoming slave and addicted to it.
On the contrary to what common knowledge is, it s not only will power and don’t have to get fat, but like for a recipe, if you follow the instructions you get the right thing,if you don’t , you get something else.
In terms of time and energy you have to be prepared to it is similar to a driving license test .So basically something anybody can do.

So you might argue, if this knowledge is available why people do not use it when they want to quit ?
Because they don’t know it is reasonably easy and still believe in old myths like quitting is nearly impossible.
Tabacco manufacturing companies did a great jobs, first convinced you that smoking was cool and then that giving it up was so hard. If this is not a brainwashing masterpiece, what is ?

Work smarter not only harder!
