As an ex-smoker, both first and second hand, I know what it is to feel like when you need that extra push in a day. There’s many reasons to why people smoke. Some do it because of their environment, it can be a trend or to show off. Some smoke to show that they can actually afford the money to do it. The two main reason to why most people smoke is because of their childhood facing second hand smoke and/or stress.
I grew up with most of my family members smoking constantly around the kids. Therefore, nicotine was already ingrained into my body at the age of 6 or 7. Fast forward to my teenage years, coming out of the closet and family dysfunctions I took the cheap way out by stealing cigarettes from the adults. Ever since, the addiction grew within me and I couldn’t stop. But for 5 weeks now, I decided to just go cold turkey and stop smoking PERIOD. So far, I have only laid my hands on one or two cigarettes and each time only had one or two puffs before throwing it. Some might be saying themselves, “bullshit…” or “wow strong will” but in reality it’s all about mental power. I have had many times where I would get really bad headaches. Or even when my emotions are heightened through an argument or watching a sad emotional movie, I would tend to think of smoking a cigarette. But you know what… ITS NOT HARD AT ALL - JUST DON’T DO IT. When you think of lighting one up just think of all that hard work going down the drain. No “buts” or “ifs” do not compromise yourself.
Some people can smoke and don’t give a shit. For all I care, I don’t give a shit if you smoke either. But you know what, after I quit smoking, I can breathe 10 times better, able to do more things and sleep better. So if you smokers don’t care about that or don’t like to challenge yourself to live a healthier life then keep on smoking. At the end of the day, anyone who wants to quit smoking, you don’t need nicotine patches or a guide, just have that mental will power and go cold turkey. ITS ALL GOOD IN THE HOOD LOL HOLLAAAAAAAA
