To Quit or Not To Quit

If you have even the slightest feeling that you would have better given up the bad habit of smoking, definitely give it a try. Ask your friends, family and others associated with you to cooperate with you. They will help you
for
sure.
You
can
also
medical help.

Why Blame Smoking Only?
Close friends, of course the nonsmoking ones, may prove to be nagging. They try to caution you with what is written on every packet of cigarette – ‘Smoking is injurious to health’. Tell them, we live in a world where the environment is polluted enough to kill us. Smoking cigarettes is not practically that alarming in relation to health issues, unless you are impulsively and irrationally biased against smoking by default.

Fight for Right
Argument is another weapon since the pro quit smoking groups always have the tendency to justify their unjust and childish demand. They tell you what percentage of the global population are falling victim to smoking which they divide into two categories – ‘active’ and ‘passive’. Give them examples of septuagenarian and octogenarian chain smokers you know. Don’t worry, you don’t have to lie. You truly know many of such life-long smokers.

Smoking Alone Doesn’t Kill
Anti-smoking well-wishers of yours may ask you the point of doing something that has caused, at least, a considerable number of deaths; and you cannot deny it. Tell them politely, risk factors are associated with everything in life. Smoke emitted by cars cause similar, often more harmful, health problems. Do you stop driving cars? What if you stumble before a running car? What
if the
roof
crumbles
down on you? Written By Subhananda Bera from MysticBoard.com -- Visit www.MysticBoard.com MysticBoard.com Š 2005-2009. All rights reserved.

Special Ones? – Say “My Heart Aches…” Special ones are dangerous. They threaten to leave you if you do not stop smoking. In these cases you have to play certain tricks. Go easy. Try to casualize and trivialize the ill effects of smoking. Besides, mention that you are taking special care of yourself with compensating diet and lifestyle. Better if you truly do it. Refer to the withdrawal symptoms and bad experiences you have. They will understand. Written By Subhananda Bera from MysticBoard.com -- Visit www.MysticBoard.com MysticBoard.com © 2005-2009.

Cover Point What if mentioning withdrawal problem does not work?
There
is
a
possibility, since dumb people
exist
world.
Say
in in
this a
confessing tone that you have headache without smoking. You suffer acidity and digestion problems if you do not smoke. You feel dejected and short tempered. Ask him/her to ring any physician for verification. Don’t worry. The doctor will add that you may also have ulcer in your mouth.
