Remembering These Key Points About Smoking |

It's as simple as this. none of these methods
by themselves are probably going to get you to quit. Cold turkey you still have
cravings, and even then, if you aren't excercising, it's gonna take a hell of a
lot longer for your body to get all of that crap out of you...the tar and
nicotine...everything.
Not only that but, a lot of people are out
there that just think smoking is fine, and you know, if you want to ruin
yourself, then go ahead and keep puffing away but the cold hard facts are
here...Smoking is bad for you. Everyone knows it is....if you don't, you're
kidding yourself.
So take 5 of these methods and put them
together. You don't have to just quit cold turkey, and you don't JUST have to
excersize or eat right... I think the best way, really, is to do it all.
Get a loose excersize program going, so that
you don't feel obligated to do it...that way if you miss a day, you don't feel
like you're losing the battle by missing a day of work-out.
If you don't already eat healthy-START! sugar
and fat aren't going to make matters any better. Even if you quit smoking, if
you;re still eating junk-food, you're still hurting yourself, and you might as
well have kept smoking, and thats NOT the point of all of this!
I have had a hard time quitting mostly because
all of my buddies light up every time they're around me, and thats like waving a
piece of cake in front of a fat boy with a sweet tooth....and I think for most
people with an addiction, that's really what it is like.
Ask your buddies politely not to smoke around
you if they wouldn't mind. Most of them would probably be okay with that for a
while. That way you can't be like "Hey man, wanna bum me a smoke?"
So yeah, this is my little piece of advice, I
suppose. I just got done with an 8 mile bike ride. Up north here, we have the
fortune of having a paved bike trail to ride on with some really nice scenery.
Not everyone has that available, but bringing a friend to the YMCA to ride a
bike and BS for a while would probably do you just as well.
