When you look at smoking objectively it is really is the most stupid habit

A new service which is being offered in some of the UK is proving to be very effective as a smoking cessation tool. All you must do is write a text message to a certain number and immediately you are sent information about smoking cessation counselling and help in your particular area. For instance if you live in Hampshire the Hampshire Primary Care Trust has set up a system by which you text the words “quit” to the telephone number 60123 and immediately you get free National Health Service smoking cessation counselling details.

Another system that is available in different areas of the world even have a service by where when you are feeling weak and you want some motivation to stop you lighting up a cigarette, you send a text message which immediately comes back with a reply with some confidence boosting advice which is designed to give you the willpower to stay smoke free.

If you are somewhere where the temptation to light up is very great probably the very best thing you can do is remove yourself from that situation and go and get some clean fresh air. For example you are in a bar and people are smoking and the temptation is very big to smoke go and stand outside for little bit and to remind yourself why you gave up smoking in the first place. Focus on the negative health implications of smoking; remind yourself also that thousands of individuals give up smoking every year and that there is no real excuse not to be one of them.

When you look at smoking objectively it is really is the most stupid habit that anybody could possibly have.  It makes you smell disgusting, feel terrible and will definitely knock off many years of your life as well as greatly increase the chance of you dying a painful and slow death.  Do you really want to smoke?
