Learn How To Quit Smoking.

Copyright 2005 Colin Williams

What do I mean by LEARN, shouldn’t I be telling you to go buy
some nicotine gum or some quit smoking NRT products. Hey! It’s
not that hard for anyone to stop smoking and NO you don’t really
need a pill, potion, patch or gum. As a matter of fact I believe
you only need one thing to help you quit smoking and that’s
Knowledge, because knowledge is power.

Some historians claim that tobacco has been apart of our history
since around 6000BC, however a little closer to our end of the
time line in the pre-Columbian Americas the native Americans
cultivated tobacco for ceremonial pipe smoking. Explorers like
Christopher Columbus, Sir Walter Raleigh and France’s Jean Nicot
after whom nicotine was named began to popularize the use of
tobacco as the new fashion throughout Europe. The process of
smoking was learnt back in the early 16th century and it’s still
learnt the same way today. In the US every day 3000 new
non-smoker kids become smokers! Each and every person has had to
learn how to smoke.

You LEARNT how to become a smoker in the first place. You
practised the draw-back and various smoking techniques over and
over, including all those body image traits until you finally
achieved that great `smoker status' . You convinced yourself how
good and cool it was - right! You just taught yourself how to be
a smoker even when the first few cigarettes nearly made you
vomit.

You may be asking yourself right now, how can I learn how to
stop smoking. The answer is easy, if you want to become a
non-smoker, then you need to learn how to THINK as non-smoker.
The reality is that gums, patches or NRT’s won’t change your
smoker mindsets, knowledge and understanding is the key! 

Listen ...'If you think the way you always thought, you'll have
what you always had.'

Answer this... Who talks to you the most? Your partner? your
boss? your neighbour? your friends? your dog or cat? No
Way......YOU TALK TO YOU THE MOST!!!

Nicotine Addiction is approximately 20% physiological and 80%
psychological. Think about it, the chemical affect of the drug
doesn’t have to work very hard to keep you addicted because you
will reinforce your perceived satisfaction with just about every
cigarette through your thoughts and words.

The bottom line is this – the nicotine addiction IS NOT your
friend or buddy, it's a lying parasite that basically wants to
kill you. Have you ever wanted to quit smoking? Imagine the
freedom of waking up every morning and thinking “I’m a
non-smoker” now that’s cool!
