Just take control of the one thing you can in this world, YOUR body
As a smoker I agree 100%.
yet I still smoke. I understand it's not the chemical addiction that keeps me smoking. Nicotine is virtually GONE from the body within a 3 day
span...
therefore it MUST be a psychological addiction. Judging by how I personally react to not having cigs (tired, unfocused, irritable, teary eyed,
anxious, fidgetty etc etc etc) sounds psychological to me.
Brings me to the conclusion that all those smoking cessation gimmicks are a load of crappola.
I have been reading and re-reading a great book about how to stop smoking and it makes so much sense.
The only way to stop is just that. Stop.
It is a maddening thing for most who smoke, not feeling in control of it. Would seem to be so reasonable to just stop doing it... very curious.
I view it as a personal weakness and it's disgusting as well. I am a closet smoker...most people don't even know I smoke because I'm ashamed of
it.
edited to add on topic: prices here in vancouver BC are over 10$ for a pack of 20 name brand cigs and they just went up here a few weeks ago and
again yesterday. Prices reflect the medical costs of treating us when we get cancer or emphysema perhaps.... (not sure really just tossing that
out)
