If you're a regular smoker, and watched the movie "The Insider", you'll know that you've been had. Whistleblowing as we know it is not confined to Julian Assange but happened sometime ago, thanks to Jeffrey Brigand, a former vice-president for research & development at Brown & Williamson.
So what was the big deal about this "guy" anyways?
Yes, his message was that all the top tobacco companies had committed perjury in hiding the health risks of cigarettes and its addictiveness. In fact, they had added glass fibers and ammonia to increase its potency.
Hence the phrase, "Once a smoker, always a smoker"… because it's damn hard to quit… and quit you must for numerous reasons.
The Health Risks of Smoking
Most people who smoke regularly often live in denial in saying that they aren't scared of dying, and it's their choice really. But here are some undeniable facts when it comes to the reasons why you should consider stop smoking help:
#1: With the economy in the state that it is in, stopping smoking will ensure that you save a good amount of money. To see how quickly the amount of money you spend on smoking can add, use a jar to put the cash that you would normally use to buy a pack or carton of cigarettes.
#2: You can reduce your chances of suffering from a heart attack, cancer and a stroke when you quit smoking.
#3: People (women, in most cases) won't run miles when you're around. Yes, you'd smell much better.
#4: You'll feel more energetic and it will result in your appetite improving.
#5: In being able to quit this very difficult habit, your confidence levels in changing any other undesirable habits will also change drastically.
In most cases, people struggle to quit but the fear of death can change all that. Using that fear to inculcate good habits is probably a good idea.
Taking Stop Smoking Help is a Good Idea
If you've started smoking for fun (as it always starts), then you should know that it will turn into an addiction very soon if you aren't careful. Am not being preachy here… trust me!
Here are some tips that you can think about:
#1: Smoking requires one to make up their mind. Period. If you make up your mind, then that's the first step to quitting successfully – on your own. Until that time, being indecisive, won't make it easy.
#2: One way by which it will help is by writing down the reasons why you think it's important that you quit. The habit of smoking, as they say, will be history!
#3: Herbal cigarettes, chewing gum, patches are some ways by which you can kick the habit one day at a time. And every day will count…
#4: Don't forget to count on your friends and family to help you through the first few days – when you go absolutely nuts, especially if you're trying to quit 'cold turkey'.
#5: Hypnosis is another way by which you can handle this task of quitting smoking, and it has been proven to work over a period of time.
In Closing
Cigarettes and booze go hand in hand – so here's simple advice – stay off the tobacco. You'll get laid more often too. And if you're the types who thinks they won't need help, think again – cuz you're gonna need it!
