Why should I quit smoking

By DEWEY KEARNEY

I can't remember the first time I heard the term "cancer sticks" or "coffin nails" used in referring to cigarette smoking. I was pretty young so that goes back a few lustrum's. If you don't know how long a lustrum is, look it up.

So why do people take up a habit like smoking anyway. Well let me turn the question around, why did I ever think it was cool to smoke?

I tried cigarettes but never learned to inhale. The first time I tried I nearly choked myself to death (yea, I see you laughing because it happened to you too). Then I tried cigars, and I liked them but the people around me hated it, especially my wife. She gave me an ultimatum, "Would you rather smoke those things or get kissed 'cause you aren't going to have both." Well that was a no-brainer! I had a good love life and wanted to keep it.

So then I switched to a pipe. I thought a pipe looked so cool (it wasn't) but she tolerated that. But then I started getting sore throats and coughing up a bloody mess (I won't go there because I know you get the picture). I know that if I had continued I would have died an early death. When you are young it's easy to think that you are indestructible (You aren't!). Or that you can quit anytime you want (You can't). To quit smoking is the single best gift you can give yourself and your family. Smoking takes 10 to 12 years off your life. Plus think about this, just living for livings sake means little if you don't have good health. Smoking affects a man's virility and speaking as a man that's reason enough. Smoking damages the skin, you can always tell a heavy smoker especially women just by looking at the skin. Smoking damages the gums and teeth, the heart and lungs and the circularity system. Back where I grew up farmers smoked their hams every winter and smoke houses were and still are a common site. Why? Because they dry the moisture and preserve the meat. Cigarette smoking does the same to your body.

Most people have a terrific time getting unhooked once they are hooked. Smoking affects more than just the physical body it also affects the mental condition as well.

While gums and patches help most people need a mental boost to get themselves "unhooked" from this habit. A few can quit "cold turkey" but very few. I have personally known only two. That's where hypnosis can help. Hypnosis alone is a big boost, but if you feel the need to "stick something in your mouth" or think you can't quit cold turkey even with hypnosis, then couple it with gums or a patch. That will increase your chance of quitting forever.

If you have tried unsuccessfully to quit smoking
you owe it to yourself to give it another try. What do you have to lose except a stinky habit anyway? (And a lot of cash back in your pocket too!) You will be glad you did.
