Well, Thomas! Aren't you blowing things out of proportion? Things, I get that. Obviously I can't keep my favorite lighters, ashtrays, vape pens. But places......even, people? I have to change them too? They're only cigarettes!
I hear you. Now think about this. Smoking will kill one out of every two (yes, 50%) of those who don't quit! How do you like those odds? Each year, smoking kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders, and suicides combined.
2) Nicotine is more addictive than heroin or cocaine.
3) Nicotine robs us of our values, our natural enjoyment, our - selves!
It's no joking matter
Get serious! Cigarettes (and now it appears to be vaping as well) are deadly! They hollow us out from the inside of our brains to every single speck of DNA.
Need I say: heart disease, cancer, lung disease - Killers #1. #2. and #3. You know it and I know it but don't believe you're the lucky half. Today is a Great day to live smoke free!
People, places and things have to change. You won't be hanging out with your quit buddies and relatives. You won't be hanging around the smoke-break gang! You won't be keeping that memorabilia ashtray or Harley Davidson lighter. They go in the trash! Otherwise don't bother!
You can make it hard to quit or you can make it hard to smoke. Which is the better option?
No half hearted quit "attempts" - get real! Be real! Become your best, blessed Self!
You can do it but not if you sabotage yourself out the gate!
Please don't be dumb like me! Unless I get hit by a Mack Truck I'll probably die of smoking-related illness. But you know what's worse than dying because of Nicotine Addiction? Living as an Addict! I refuse to die an Addict to Nicotine!
You can always tell when I have a bad COPD Day - I get emphatic. What do you think it is like to not breathe...all....day...and....all...night...long! Hold your breath for awhile and multiply it by 150 times. That's close!
