It took me two weeks to start smoking and twenty five years to quit!

I tried every method under the sun. I graduated every course available with honors and went right back to it as soon as the course was over. I was your proverbial lifetime smoker.

If any one could never give up it was me. I enjoyed some of the smoking some of the time but over the years came to hate the need to always have a cigarette to hand.

It would strike fear in my heart if I thought I was going to run out.

And it's funny but you start to associate almost every situation with a cigarette. As a reward, as a tension reliever, when your excited, when your depressed. Some bright spark once said "The three finest things in life are a drink before and a smoke after" I knew what he was talking about.

Look it's absolutely no use telling a smoker of all the dangers of smoking, they know. They don't need you to tell them that.

They have known it for all the years that they have been smoking. Their problem is not being educated about the dangers of smoking. No! Their problem is how they are going to quit. As Mark Twain once ...
... said "Quitting smoking is easy I've done it a thousand times".

Every smoker I know has tried many times to give up and failed.

I have never met one smoker who has said to me. I am perfectly happy with smoking, I love it. It is the best thing I have ever did. No! Most smokers have tried to give up and the only thing they have given-up is trying to give up smoking!

If you want to quit smoking you have to understand just what it is that you are dealing with and approach it in the right manner.

Cigarettes are one of the most addictive and destructive drugs known to man. Cigarette smoking has not only been put on a par with Crack Cocaine it has actually been proved it is more addictive than Crack Cocaine. Yes! Let that sink in! More addictive than Crack!
