Stop Smoking Tips
The drug companies and the multi-billion dollar medical establishment want you to believe that the best stop smoking tips are to chew nicotine gum or throw out all the ashtrays or similar. I used to smoke 25 cigarettes a day but I’ve been clean for 8 years - my advice is completely different.
Tip 1 - open your mind. When it comes to stopping smoking, question everything around you. Look at the drug companies, they are making as much money from cigarette addiction as the tobacco companies and yet no one attacks them. Now look at the numbers of people addicted. It may have gone down a little but it’s still huge. Ask yourself if there is more than meets the eye.
Tip 2 - don’t just accept your smoking for what it is. You have probably never sat back and decided to actually look into your addiction, have you? Next time you smoke a cigarette, think to yourself “what is cigarette addiction?” and “why an I addicted to cigarettes?”. If it’s really just down to the nicotine then how come so many people can smoke just 4 or 5 cigars a year and yet they never feel the urge to smoke cigarettes in between?
Tip 3 - throw out the nicotine replacement products. I’m talking about the patches and gum that contain nicotine. In the long term, these methods are no better than willpower alone. If you buy them then you will still be hooked on something - wouldn’t it be better to free yourself of your addiction rather than simply replace it with another one?
Tip 4 - think about how you think. Let’s consider a crack or a heroin addict. Have you ever met one or seen one on TV? Then you will know that they will do bad things in the name of feeding their addiction and yet they won’t realise they are wrong. Stealing from and lying to friends or anything else to feed their addiction. Now think about your own cigarette addiction. You may think that you have the same powers of logic as when you were a non-smoker. Think again and be big enough to admit that you could be wrong. Cigarettes DO influence the way a smoker thinks. They did when I was a smoker, even though I did not believe it at the time. Don’t let cigarettes get the better of you.
Have these tips given you food for thought? If they haven’t, then carry on using what the establishment tell you and hope that your willpower is strong enough that you can maybe become one of the 10% or so that give up smoking forever using this method.
