What if I'm not ready to quit smoking

watched my brother and sister struggle to quit smoking
.

I was raised in a non-smoking home and though I had a few relatives who smoked by and large most of my family didn't. However - my younger brother became a two pack a day smoker and smoked till the day he died. Incidentally he died at age 61 - way pre-mature - with every health related problem you can mention. My sister, the youngest of us, is still puffing away, even though she has had double- pneumonia twice, has COPD and is on oxygen 24 hours a day. Can you even imagine the danger of lighting up while also hooked to an oxygen bottle?

I was talking to a friend of mine a few years back who smoked and I asked him why he did it. He told me that he enjoyed it. He enjoyed something that will for sure shorten his life by 10 to 12 years. Something that will destroy his lungs and heart. Something that contributes to all kinds of organ failure (yes that's true), that damages your skin and eyes, and Oh Yes - makes you stink! I forgot - it's also proven to damage a man's virility. As a man, that's reason enough by itself not to smoke!

After you read the above can you still say - "I'm not sure I want to quit smoking?" Of course you want to stop smoking -but you don't think you can! That's the biggest obstacle to overcome.

Smoking is an addiction and nicotine is one of the hardest things to give up especially since the tobacco people have tweaked the plants to increase the nicotine content to make sure the hook is well imbedded.
