So when is the best time to quit smoking? Now of course! Studies show
that people who give up on the spot succeed more than people who plan
it. Makes sense right? But with more & more smoking bans happening
across the world now is the best time to smoke that last cigarette.
But what's the best way to give up? Which method works the best?
Patches, Hypnotherapy, willpower? All have worked well for people but
what works for you could be completely different. You should decide on
a technique and stick to it. Willpower obviously is the biggest
component. If you have willpower you can do anything. Or so they say!
When I gave up I read a book by Allen Carr, the world renowned smoking
expert. His best selling book works mainly on psychology. But it works
surprisingly well. One thing that I did before I gave up was to smoke
as many cigarettes as I could one after the other. Yes it was
disgusting but doing this gives you a bad memory of cigarettes whilst
you're giving up which makes things a whole lot easier.
Did you know in 1972 half of all adults in the UK were smokers? By
1990 this number had fallen to a third. At present just under a
quarter ok UK adults are smokers. Less than half the amount as in
1972! Smokers may not know that giving up does more than lessen your
chances of lung and heart dieses. It can make you feel more energetic
and healthier, improve blood circulation. Improve your sexual health
and fertility. And make you look younger! Then of course there's the
passive smoking. Did you know that 17,000 children under five years
old are admitted to hospital each year, due to illness caused by there
parents smoking?
I know the facts are those that have been drummed into us by the media
over and over again and sometimes this makes us want to smoke more!
But the facts are still there and remember; the best time to quit up
smoking is
now.
