Most smokers are really good at quitting - they do it all the time!
But
quitting and
staying quit are two separate matters.
The majority of smokers
want to stub out the habit.
And they have lots of good reasons to give it up - current health,
fear for their future health, being a social outcast, the smell, the inconvenience, being a negative influence on their kids - or future fertility - and being controlled.
To say nothing of the money!
Most smokers get the equivalent of a $5000 raise - year in and year out -
just by stubbing out the habit!
And if they stop smoking - right now - they start adding
years to their lives. Around a decade and a half of healthy, quality years!
Well, then - why don't people look at the facts and just quit?
It all boils down to one issue -
habit.
- The habit of using cigarettes to control stress
- The habit of getting a small amount of pleasure
- The habit of cigarettes marking the end of a meal to control weight
- The habit of anxiety about giving it up
- The habit of thinking you'll always have cravings
- The habit of being too scared to try
But habits are just in our minds!
You created a habit of smoking, probably when you were a teenager.
So now it's just a matter of creating a brand new
healthy habit -
of being a non-smoker.
