Secondhand Smoke - The Knowledge to Help You Quit

Smoking and the Essentials of Living


A recent survey says that today, one of four men and one of five women still smoke. It’s a no brainer concept - smoking kills. So what explains this statistic? Is it really that difficult to stop smoking?

The taste, the high, and the psychological comfort is what makes smoking addicting. Plus, it has a certain sophistication attached to it. People who smoke appear carefree and relaxed. They project an image of individuals who enjoy life in the moment. But, do we really have to smoke to have fun, to look “cool”?

Some smokers do not know who bears the brunt of all that tobacco smoke. Or they could be aware of the effects of secondhand smoke but just don’t care enough to really try to quit. Perhaps all those news and stories about why smoking is harmful has fallen on deaf ears. Perhaps nicotine-tainted glamour makes one indifferent, what do you think?

Maybe it's simply that it's just very hard to quit. We all know that. But it's not impossible. You can achieve success when you gain the tools you need to help you stop smoking. Secondhand smoke being received by your loved ones should be enough to get you started.

The Quit Smoking Book by Darryl Wilson is a great guide for anyone who wants to quit smoking now. Click here to check out this extremely helpful quitting smoking book. It gives you all the best tips, techniques, and the right mindset which is imperative if you're trying to stop smoking now. He teaches you how to quit smoking without spending any money, so you're left with more cash in your pocket and higher dollars in your bank account month after month. Darryl Wilson used the cigarette money he was saving to take scuba diving courses and go on a scuba diving vacation.
Whatever the smoker’s reasons are, it’s high time to stop smoking. The image of a smoker falls flat when health is the issue. To put new meaning to the Little Prince’s words, what is essential is invisible to the eye. What matters is that you are healthy on the inside. You have good lungs to breathe and an even better heart to live. You'll be happier, healthier, and wealthier. Not to mention, saving the lives of those around you.

Nice input here. I just want to say, smokers do have a certain aura about them, sort of careless. Maybe they don't quite see the danger, like, none from their family has been obviously affected. Not yet, anyway...

I particularly don't like the image, or how they smell like...the stuff stays on their clothes, you know. I don't get how some people could be addicted to cigarettes. Beats me why they even started in the first place!

When people start smoking, they are somehow influenced to do so. It's the same reason people buy expensive cars, big screen TVs, or wear certain clothes. We are all brainwashed about certain things. What we should do, what we should buy, what we should wear. The problem is when we are convinced to do something that is harmful to us or others. And with smoking, by the time you realize you don't want to do it any more, you may just be addicted and it may be hard to quit. Nicotine is an addictive substance. But it's not impossible. You cannot give up. You must believe in yourself. I always say, believe you can quit, and you will! Quitting smoking is like trying to lose weight. You have to change your lifestyle. For people who want to lose weight it can be very very difficult to not eat dessert, or foods that just aren't good for you. But it's not impossible. You have to have very strong will power. You have to conquer it. Make it a goal and accomplish it.
