What if I’m not Ready to Quit Smoking?

Normal 0

I watched my brother and sister struggle to quit smoking.

I was raised in a non-smoking home and though I had a few relatives who smoked by and large most of my family didn't. However - my younger brother became a two pack a day smoker and smoked till the day he died. Incidentally he died at age 61 - way pre-mature - with every health related problem you can mention. My sister, the youngest of us, is still puffing away, even though she has had double- pneumonia twice, has COPD and is on oxygen 24 hours a day.

I was talking to a friend of mine a few years back who smoked and I asked him why he did it. He told me that he enjoyed it. He enjoyed something that will for sure shorten his life by 10 to 12 years. Something that will destroy his lungs and heart. Something that contributes to all kinds of organ failure (yes that's true), that damages your skin and eyes, and Oh Yes - makes you stink! I forgot - it's also proven to damage a man's virility. As a man, that's reason enough by itself not to smoke!

After you read the above can you still say - "I'm not sure I want to quit smoking?" Of course you want to stop smoking -but you don't think you can! That's the biggest obstacle to overcome.

Smoking is an addiction and nicotine is one of the hardest things to give up especially since the tobacco people have tweaked the plants to increase the nicotine content to make sure the hook is well imbedded.

That's what this site is dedicated to - to be YOUR Stop Smoking Source! We offer lots of ways to help you get unhooked and STAY unhooked, that's our goal. But you have to want to quit smoking. That decision is yours and yours alone. But I know you can do it!

My advice - make the decision to quit smoking today. Don't put it off another day!

The Trouble With Smoking

By: Terro White | 25/11/2009
Okay, I get it. It’s hard to stop smoking; however, you want to know the hardest thing? Thinking up excuses for why you can’t quit to everyone you know. How many times a day can you possibly say, “It’s just too hard” without having all your friends turn to you and reply, “Stop being such a wuss and just do it already”? The fact is you’ve got to man up and stop pretending like you can’t quit just because you continue to rely on the nicotine to make you feel better.

Why it is Difficult to Give up Smoking

By: Ross Jacky | 24/11/2009
When trying to quit smoking, sleeping and eating habits get a change over as one is in a state of nicotine withdrawal. Tobacco addiction is viewed clinically as a disease. Tobacco and cigarette smoking can conceal an underlying addictive personality and smokers sometimes transfer this addiction to other potent threats such as alcohol, gambling or drugs. Once you quit smoking, your health risks get reduced dramatically, including that of coronary and pulmonary systems, almost matching that of non

Not Just a Consumer Product

By: Ross Jacky | 24/11/2009
Marketing tobacco as just another product for consumer use is a very dangerous misconception that should go down the drain as one of the highly successful marketing shams. Why does law allow a product to be marketed as offering flavour and satisfaction, when what one really gets in return is addiction to a dangerous product and illnesses, leaving one on the way to poverty? Every day around three thousand kids join the fraternity of new smokers.

Alcohol and Tobacco Need To Be Included

By: Ross Jacky | 24/11/2009
Heroin and cocaine were ranked as the top two harmful substances. They were followed by barbiturates and street methadone. But alcohol and tobacco came fifth and ninth respectively in the list of the most harmful drugs. The irony is that, even then British and U.S. drug policy makers have made alcohol and tobacco legal, while marijuana and ecstasy are included in the list of illegal substances.

By: Tony James | 24/11/2009

By: Dewey Kearney | 12/06/2009 | Wellness
So many people smoke and wish they could quit that we recently posted a new website TheStopSmokingSource.com dedicated to helping these folks break the chain.

Are You Still Smoking? Want To Quit Smoking?

By: Dewey Kearney | 12/06/2009 | Wellness
I don’t believe there is any person reading this who would argue the dangers of smoking or that smoking is addictive. We have tried several ways as a people to discourage cigarette smoking short from a complete smoking ban; from banning it in public buildings to postings a warning on the packs themselves yet still an estimated 45 million Americans are still addicted. Are you one of them? Would you like to stop smoking? My brother was one of these who died from smoking and soon my sister will als

Be Careful What you Throw Away

By: Dewey Kearney | 25/01/2008 | Credit
Everyone at one time or another has either joked about or heard a joke about “Dumpster Diving”. Usually it refers to someone scavenging for food or behind a store to see what they have thrown out. And everyone has heard of someone finding something of real value in the trash. Personally I’ve seen someone on the Antique Road Show showing off a painting they found this way, only to be told it’s worth some extraordinary amount of money. This article is not about that kind of buried treasure but another kind that most people have been guilty of throwing out; the most personal things that contain information about you that in the wrong hands can cause you an awful headache, otherwise known as Identity Theft. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime wave in the United States according to the FBI and the US Postal Service. The US Postal Service says on their site that identity theft from stealing mail from your mailbox is not a big problem but it does happen. So if you have something to mail that contains your SS number or a credit card bill that has your number on it, they recommend that you take it to the Post Office and put it in a secure box.

Building a Credit History

By: Dewey Kearney | 25/01/2008 | Credit
Have you ever applied for a loan and been turned down? I have and I remember my feelings at the time. I was embarrassed, angry, hurt and just plain mad. I had been on my own for several years, always paid my bills on time and felt that somehow I had been severely wronged. Those were the days before credit cards were as easy to get and it was harder to establish credit than now.

Are you Ready for the Next Wave of Identity Theft?

By: Dewey Kearney | 24/01/2008 | Personal Finance
As everyone knows unless you have been asleep like Rip Van Winkle identity theft has become the #1 crime wave in the U.S.A. according to the FBI and the US Postal Service. Now a new fear has raised its head because of the recent federal and the state laws that go into effect on January 1, 2008. For years anyone in the country illegally could (and still can) purchase any type of document on the street from some vendor. These fake documents can range from a Social Security card, drivers license, green card or practically anything else people are willing to pay for.
