How to stop smoking?



Well, I know this is one question that pesters every smoker in every part of the world. Don’t worry. Nothing is impossible other than putting the toothpaste back into the tube right after squeezing it out completely once.
Before telling you the technique of quitting the habit, I want you to know the grim fact: Smoking may kill as many as a billion people worldwide this century.
As per researchers, only in both the US and the UK, smoking ranks higher than obesity as the leading cause of preventable deaths.
According to a study, those who smoked throughout their adult lives were overwhelmingly more likely to suffer and then die of lung cancer, heart disease and stroke. Even those who considered themselves light smokers, smoking less than ten cigarettes a day, were twice as likely to die early when compared to non-smokers.
Quitting before middle age, however, was shown to dramatically reduce that risk.
So, if you really want to kick the butt, then make up your mind first. For I, once an obsessive compulsive chain smoker, successfully did it. Then why can’t you?
I know it is hard to suppress the itch for nicotine. But once you make up your mind, say NO to yourself, then, let’s see how to combat the urge to smoke.
Go to a place where you need to be around the whole day long, but no way allowed to smoke, not even take a break. And if you stay alive for more than eight hours without smoking, then you can stop it. Then try going to the same place for some more days and lo and behold you will know that you can survive without cigarettes.
Now you know nothing would happen if you don’t smoke. So stop smoking and start fighting  the withdrawal syndromes and regain your lost power!
