Almost every smoker, at one time or another, has said, "I want to quit smoking". Follow these tip 10 tips to help quit smoking today and within a week you will begin to say with real confidence "I have quit smoking"…
Tip 1. Say I want to quit smoking because I want to see my children grown, with children and grandchildren of their own. If I keep smoking, I may not make it. I am increasing my risk of cancer, heart attack, and stroke, and I am taking years off my life if I do not quit.
Tip 2. Say I want to quit smoking because I do not want to be chained to an oxygen supply just to breathe. I used to be able to run five miles, but now I grow winded walking to the mailbox. Even if smoking does not kill me outright immediately, I am facing a future with a greatly reduced quality of life.
Tip 3. Say I want to quit smoking because I am tired of my hair, clothes, car, and home smelling of stale cigarette smoke. Even though I am the one responsible for the odor, I find it nauseating and unpleasant.
Tip 4. Say I want to quit smoking so that my sense of smell and sense of taste return to normal. Say I want to enjoy the scent of roses and relish the taste of fine cuisine. Say I want to be able to season my food properly, without having to add more and more just to catch a flavor.
Tip 5. Say I want to quit smoking because I can think of better uses for the $2,500 or so that I spend each year on cigarettes. That much money would make for a fine vacation, or do wonders for my retirement fund. It would also go a long way toward paying for college for a child.
Tip 6. Say I want to quit smoking because I am tired of the cravings when I am thrust into situations where I cannot light up. I have spent too much time in airport terminals or on an airplane with the desire gnawing at my brain. I cannot smoke in my office or in most restaurants, and I am weary of how inconvenient it is for me to smoke.
Tip 7. Say I want to quit smoking because I do not like tobacco stains on my teeth and fingers. They are unappealing even to me, so I can just imagine how they appear to others.
Tip 8. Say I want to quit smoking because I am setting a poor example for my children. I am telling them through my actions that it is all right to engage in risky behavior.
Tip 9. Say I want to quit smoking because I do not like the idea that inanimate objects like cigarettes can control my actions. I have a will of my own, and I am annoyed every time I let cigarettes win.
Tip 10. Say I want to quit smoking because there is a voice in my head that keeps telling me to, and it's time I start listening.
Everyone has their own reasons for saying, "I want to quit smoking." The important thing is to take action. Cling to your reasons for wanting to quit smoking, engage the support of your loved ones, and see it through. It will be a decision you will never regret.
