Stop Smoking!

If you’re a smoker but want to wave goodbye to the dreaded weed, here are a few tips to kicking the ciggies for good.

If you’re not a smoker but have thought about it, you shouldn’t start. Smoking can be hard to quit and you might think it looks cool or sexy but it doesn’t. It’s pretty smelly and nobody wants to kiss an ashtray or date somebody with fingers stained a minging shade of yellow from nicotine.

If you’re going to try and stop smoking, you really have to want it. If you’re not fully committed and not prepared to give it a decent try, you’re likely to fall back into the habit pretty quickly.

Think about the reasons you want to stop smoking. Maybe it’s a drain on your cash or people have noticed the smell of it on you. Perhaps a relative of yours has become ill through smoking. Whatever your reason is, when you’re preparing to stop, try not to lose sight of why you’re giving up.

Set yourself a date and time to stop and stick to it, no matter how many cigarettes you have in your packet. If you put it off then you’re less likely to give up.

A good way of both realizing how much you spend on cigarettes and also giving yourself an incentive to stop is to put aside the money you would be spending each day on cigarettes. Doing something useful with the cash will benefit you much more than smoking it all away would do.
