The public health
authorities never mention
the main reason many Americans have for smoking heavily,
which is that smoking is a fairly sure, fairly
honorable form of suicide.

More positive tips to help you give up smoking
1. Find a friend or family member that will help you and support you all you are working on quitting. Have them be your on call person when you need help that will talk you through it each time it becomes difficult.
2. Visualize yourself as a non-smoker. Close your eyes and imagine yourself saying no to someone when they offer you a cigarette. See yourself throwing your cigarettes away and being rewarded for it. The more vivid to make this visualization the better.
3. Wash your walls, ceilings and floors to get the smell and cigarette stains out of the house. Sit back and enjoy the fresh air.
4. Wash all of your bedding and clothing and fill your closet with some wonderful sachets to make it smell great. Lay on your bed and hug your pillow and smell that wonderful smell. Each time you think about having a cigarette, remember how fresh everything in the house smells and realize you don't want to have that awful smell in your house or on your clothes anymore.
5. Drink a lot of water to flush out the nicotine and chemicals from your body as quickly as possible.
6. Avoid doing things that you found out by writing in your journal make you want to smoke. Find new activities that do not include smoking and start doing them.
You can do it if you just put your mind to it.
