Harder to start than to stop!
July 18th, 2010 Posted in Quit smokingCan you remember your first cigarette behind the bike sheds or somewhere equally secretive, take your mind back to the dizziness, the nausea, the coughing and spluttering as your body did everything it could to make you see it did not want to receive those vile chemicals you were trying to inflict on it. Egged on by your peers, you however, chose to ignore your bodies reaction after all you did not want to lose face in front of your mates – you were not alone none of us wants to look a wimp in front of our friends.
You were not born with a cigarette in your mouth it is a habit that you acquired because it was the “in thing” to do, everybody else was doing it, back then it was considered “cool” and you didn’t want to be different so you went along with it. The good news is, it is just a habit and habits can be broken in this case with a lot less discomfort than when you started smoking.
Now before you tell me you have no will power to stop smoking, how did you start smoking? A finer example of will power you will struggle to find, you definitely do have will power, you proved it when you forced your body to smoke!
Stopping smoking is a mind game that you can easily learn with help and guidance and a few simple tricks and tools that allow you to break that habit with very little discomfort. If you are reading this you have already taken the first tentative steps to quitting. It is a myth that stopping smoking is hard, peddled by the government for one, do you think they really want to lose all the income they presently receive from the smokers of this country? The government receives about £12 billion tax annually from the sale of tobacco.
