How to quit smoking?

Posted by: admin on: May 5, 2011

Today knowing well enough that smoking is the single most important risk factor for IHD & Lung Cancer, many doctors continue to smoke under several justifications – stress, concentration etc etc. The very first step for quitting is to shun ambivalence about quitting and making a firm resolve to quit at any cost. No sacrifice is big enough to justify giving up in midstream.

List all the perceived reasons why you must continue to smoke like
Fear of suffering caused by the withdrawal
Frequent bouts of anger
Weights gain or loss
Less than usual appetite
Lower mental concentration while at work.

Later list all the benefits that accrue from quitting like
The irritating whacking cough gone
Fresh non-foul smelling breath
Lower risk of developing lung cancer or other respiratory disorders
Avoiding the considerable damage which tobacco use (smoking, sniffing, chewing) inflicts on heart and blood vessel
The money saved would become available for buying nutritional supplements, education of children, purchase of medicines for minor sickness etc.

The comparison is so overwhelming in favour of quitting that almost anyone could resolve to quit and gather the required motivation and self-confidence to do so.
