For anyone giving up Smoking.

I do not envy the battle ahead of You. It will be hard but worth it if you see it trough. As an ex smoker myself with many lost battles before Winning the war, I will in the hope of helping someone give some Advice that helped me Win.

1. Firstly Money, this is the last trick I used and I believe the one that psychologically swung the odds in my favour.
Every day put your cigarette money in a pile where you can see it all the time along with a Picture of something you wish to buy but cant afford. Every time you want a Cigarette look at it and think how smoking is getting in the way of achieving your goal.

2. Secondly Tell people around You, You are quitting and if You get argumentative to walk away or Ignore you.
Avoid Jealous Smokers. these will try to sabotage your attempts who remind you .
(people who blow smoke in your face and laugh. Or the ones who try to remind you how nice their smokes are.) Entertaining these people will doom you to failure.

3. The Physical addiction of doing something with your hands is an important Game maker, I did the whole Kojak thing. loaded up my pockets with Lollipops. When The sweet was gone I kept the stick in my mouth as a Placebo this helps pass the time between feeling the need for a smoke.





MANY PEOPLE I KNOW SWEAR BY THE ALLEN CARR BOOK

Yeah, I do manage to quit smoking by Alan Carr... Not the first read, not the second read, but it finally kicked in what he was talking about... the brain washing. It is not easy to quit smoking, but to all of you who want to give it up. GOOD LUCK to you, I made it, so can you!teddybear heart wings teddybear
Fax Im sure you can think of something laugh
Happy new year.
NON WELL SAID I GAVE THEM UP THREE YEARS AGO GLAD I DID ALL ADVICE IS GREAT AND WHEN SOMEONE USED TO OFFER ME A CIGGIE I WOULD SAY I NEVER SMOKED IT AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL START BELIEVE AND WONT OFFER BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE THAT TRIES AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
In ancient Babylonian times there was a cruel and mean king...One of his generals conspired with others to kill this tyrant...But the king was aware of the plot...And the general arrested...The other conspirators fled and planned to free their leader, the general...

After two failed attempts, a couple of people dead these now revolutionaries managed to free the general...The king was very angry and sentenced the general to death in his absence...The general was injured and had to recuperate...

So the revolution was postponed...It was decided the signal for the overthrow to start was to have the general light a fire in one of the many ziggurats in the local area...A ziggurat is a huge structure pyramid in shape sort of like a Mayan temple...

The day arrived, the fire was lit but the king was aware and of course the smoke betrayed the position of those who wanted to overthrow him...He executed them all mercilessly...

The only lesson I can see in this tale is smoking ziggurats is extremely bad for your health......Happy New Year
Mike Thanks and happy new year to you too cheers

Amus That's a very good joke laugh rolling on the floor laughing
Happy new year beer
are you non-smokers still immune to the smell of it.my mother would put my dad's jacket outdoors,because he was in the pub(billiards).he could walk with an ash the entire length of a whole cigarette without it falling?my mom is gone now,but my dad quit cigs.he can do 100 situps in a row and still shoots pool.
There was a co worker at my job that I knew, who wanted to stop smoking. I remember giving him the idea to take the money he used to purchase cigarettes,and deposit it into a savings account on a weekly bases. Sort of a motivation that could reward him in more ways than one. He never took the advice,and is still is a smoker,but imagine how much money he could saved within one year? I myself,never smoked,and have no plans too.Lol.


Have a Happy New Year,my friend! May God richly bless you,with health,happiness,and peace! applause peace
