Have you been thinking, I know I should quit one of these days. I've been smoking for XX years and sooner or later it might catch up with me. But I LOVE Smoking! Through thick or thin, smoking has been there to help me relieve stress and to celebrate a job well done, to give me a break throughout my day, and to give me time to think. I've been in and out of relationships and jobs but I've been able to count on my smokes!We all think about quitting "some day!" But right now, my life is too busy,there's so much going on for me. Maybe later when things settle down!
Well, I'll tell you when things settle down - it's when they put you 6 feet under! Life goes on and there is no end to the "reasons" that an Addict can come up with for postponing their Quit! That's because your Addictive Mind a.k.a. Nico-Demon, knows that if I can just get to my next FIX then I can go from there to the FIX after that! In other words, "I'm a puff away from a Pack a Day!" Maybe you'll be like me and finally decide to Quit the Day the Doctor says COPD to you and maybe not, but I can tell you this - living with COPD is very stressful! Maybe you're saying, I'm only XX years old - I got plenty of time to smoke before I get COPD! You might be right and you might not - I just met a Young Lady online this morning who is 20 years old and has COPD!
ONE CIGARETTE!
One cigarette changes your DNA setting you up for a whole range of Cancers! One cigarette makes your blood clot abnormally setiing you up for a stroke, one cigarette alters airway tissue at the cellular level laying the groundwork for airway thickening(COPD) and precipitating precancerous changes in cell proliferation. Facts daily are confirming more and more that a whole range of smoking-related illnesses don't care one bit how much you smoke or how old you are! EVERY smoker - and even those exposed to passive smoke - are risking their health in a multitude of ways! EVERY CIGARETTE! There is no such thing as a safe level of exposure to Smoking!
When do you Quit? How about TODAY? It will be a Life-affirming act that will give your body and your loved ones a chance to better the odds against smoking-related illness! And you will find that living Addiction FREE is a whole new world! Seize the DAY! TODAY is a GREAT DAY to LIVE Smoke FREE!
Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero. Seize the day, trust not to the
morrow. - Horace
