QUIT SMOKING

By Nick Tuttle





Learning how to quit smoking cigarettes will probably be one of the hardest things in your life as it was for me, a 47 year old, 3 packs a day, 25 year smoker.

First of all, what made me so angry was that it wasn't all my fault that I had been addicted to cigarettes for the majority of my adult life. They are designed to be highly addictive so you can make those cigarette companies even more money by cutting years and years off of your life. But thanks heavens, I was finally able to quit smoking cigarettes - without wasting a boatload of money and time with patches, pills, gum, and therapy - in less than a week...yeah you heard me, less than a week.

I know that sounds too good to be true, but as soon as you have finished reading this article you'll dispel your skepticism as soon as you have quit your habit in less than a week too.

1) Quit smoking cigarettes for your loved ones rather than for your own health's sake.

Think how much it will mean to them to be able to tell and show them that you aren't dependent on cigarettes anymore. Think how much more time on Earth that you will be able to cherish with them.

2) Drink more water during the day.

I know this sounds too basic to be effective, but trust me, I don't personally like the "taste" of water, but once I began drinking more water each day until my urine was clear, I felt so much more energized and better. Trust me on this one.

3) Exercise a little bit every day.

You'd be surprised as much as I was to hear that a little bit of exercise per day can help to kick the habit. All I did was run a mile or 2 every morning along with some push-ups and sit-ups and I was so much more energized and refreshed. I felt that I didn't want/need to smoke a cigarette as much as I did before I was exercising.
