How I Quit Smoking Cigarettes and You Can Quit Smoking Too

How I quit smoking cigarettes and you can quit, too. Quitting smoking can be the hardest thing a person can do, but it can be done. I was a smoker for over twenty years, including at least sixteen years as a heavy smoker; which I consider one and a half to two packs a day. I was able to quit by using motivational techniques and a nicotine replacement therapy.

The best motivation I have found to quit smoking is anger. Whenever I had a cigarette craving, I would remind myself of the anger behind my decision and vowed never to smoke ever again. I tried to imagine Think all the ways corporations over the decades have peddled dangerous and addictive product to the masses using the most sophisticated advertising available to target children and the impoverished.

If that is not enough, think of all the deaths directly attributable to the use of cigarettes. Use that information to get very angry and decide never to put any more money in the pockets of the legal scoundrels.

Another technique is to notice how much cigarette advertising you see during the course of even one single day. I cant go anywhere in town without seeing signs at gas stations, liquor stores and even the supermarket checkout lines. This advertising is targeted to smokers and those attempting to quit and it is everywhere. Whenever I see a reference to any brand of cigarettes in advertising or even in television and movies, I get really angry and remind myself exactly how much I hate the manufacturers and marketers of this deadly product.

Another technique I used and you can use too is to calculate how much money you have spent on cigarettes over the years. In my case, 1.5 packs of smokes at $3 a pack means I spent about $4.50 per day for twenty years. 20 x 365 days equals 7300 days. 7300 days at $4.50 a day means I spent at least $32,850 on cigarettes. Wow. That is a lot of hard earned cash up in smoke. Even thinking about that money now, six years after quitting I get angry and channel that angry to motivate me into never thinking about quitting.

As for nicotine replacement therapies, my choice was Nicolette gum. The gum gave me the nicotine I craved without having to succumb to urges to smoke a cigarette and, it turns out, it is much cheaper than cigarettes. I have been nicotine and cigarette free and I have never regretted my decision. Here is hoping that you are able to break the habit and save yourself years of grief.

I have quit smoking cigarettes and you can quit, too. http://awesomedomain.info
