Quitting Smoking Doesn't Have to Be Hard
By Roger C Edwards
Really, quitting doesn't have to be hard at all. Smoking, like all bad habits, is easy to quit once you learn just how to do it. Problem is, what people generally think of as the right way to do it is completely wrong.
You've probably seen advertisements for nicotine patches and phone therapy programs. You don't want quitting smoking to turn into an alcoholics anonymous type deal, you just want to stop the whole mess so you can go on with your life.
As great of an idea as those programs might sound to the people who create them, they fall a bit short when it comes to actual results. Nicotine replacement doesn't work because it doesn't actually help you stop your urge to smoke, it just gives you the byproducts of smoking to try to help you cope.
Phone programs and online programs make you feel like there's something terribly wrong with you, and that's not the case. You're able to quit smoking any time you want, you just have to know that you want to quit smoking.
Remember, you don't smoke because you want nicotine, you smoke because you enjoy smoking and that's the critical flaw with all of these programs. The way to make quitting easy is to discover that, in all reality, you don't like cigarettes. They aren't enjoyable, it's just something that you've been trained to do with time.
You aren't going to spend the same amount of time weaning yourself away and retraining your mind, however, because there's a very simple way to quit that doesn't involve any sort of therapy or snake oil.
All you need to do is read this book. It only takes a few hours, and you can even smoke (it tells you to!) while reading it. By the time you've finished it, you'll find that you never want another cigarette again, not because it's scared you with some sort of awful garb about how cigarettes will kill you or anything (you don't need any of that crap!) but because it's shown you that your urge to smoke is false and how to break free from it.
