The first thing to do is realize why you smoke. Then, you must think of all the reasons why you should not smoke. If you really try and perhaps write them out on paper, you could think of dozens of good reasons why you should not smoke.
What are some of the reasons? First, of course there is the threat of lung cancer or other fatal diseases; also the nonsmoker has more energy and vitality to enjoy life; his mind can function better; he save money. Other reasons to quit are to prove you have willpower; to setthe right example for your children.
You know what, when you stop smoking, your food will taste better. Your throat won't be continually clogged with phlegm. You will get rid of the hacking cigarette cough. Actually, you will gradually begin to feel much less nervous, even though that may seem hard to believe. The first few days after you quit, you might feel more nervous but gradually the nervousness will diminish and you will be calmer and more poised.
Remember, smoking is actually a "crutch" to many people. It helps them "escape" stress, strain and tension. Smoking is one of the channels of escapism available to people today but which has a fatal kickback ( a deadly boomerang effect on the smokers!).
When you quit smoking, you will begin to enjoy life much more. This is fact!! Breathing fresh air will be a pleasure; smelling the wonderful odors of nature will tantalize your olfactory nerves. You will sleep better. No more danger of accidents or fire in bed. No more ugly cigarette butts lying around the house. When you wake up in the morning, you will begin to feel like a NEW MAN or a NEW WOMAN! You will have a feeling of intense satisfaction and pleasure and freedom from the slavery of the tobacco habit. Your life will be healthier, happier, more joyful and abundant.
All these things will become yours after you conquer and kick the cigarette habit. Some of these blessings will come gradually. Some will become apparent very soon. Think of these benefits from not smoking. Think of the gruesome cost of smoking. Form in your mind the strong desire, motivation and resolve to quit smoking! Do these things and you will have made a good beginning in stopping smoking. But there is more that you mustdo, if you want to make sure that you completely overcome the vile, noxious habit.
