Quitting Smoking is not the First Thing You Should Do
I know what you’re thinking. You are thinking that you can’t possibly have read that right – but it’s true. If you are looking to become a non-smoker, then quitting is one of the last steps you should take. Please allow me to explain.
Usually, the thought of quitting smoking comes up only when you confront a virtual threat like a health scare or the realization that it is taking a heavy toll on your body. The reason is not important; what is important is that you have taken the decision to quit smoking. This is a huge achievement; don’t spoil it by rushing to the end without walking all the way. You will get nowhere.
You need to prepare and educate yourself to succeed in quitting smoking. Just as you wouldn’t attempt to rebuild your car’s engine just because you bought a set of tools off the shelf, similarly don’t suffer under any illusion that your resolve is all you need to do to quit smoking. And, there are no off-the-shelf remedies that will help you in your determination to stop smoking. Some would argue that the trial-and-error method would finally get them to the point of making the car engine, but it is a long and frustrating process. Why go through all that torture when you can get there easily through proper preparation and education.
The internet is your answer to all questions. Look at the available stop smoking programs and really compare them. Judge each program on the basis of the steps they follow. Always give preference to the ones that go about systematically by first providing information and then preparing you for the goal. Don’t get caught by catchy slogans that promise to free you of your habit in a week or ten days. Remember, easy bought is easily lost. You need to do thorough comparison shopping before you buy a program. The program must encourage you to take your time to learn and prepare as opposed to placing your faith in a product that states that there is no effort required on your part.
Nothing comes without a little effort from you – especially this. Remember, quitting is the easy part – you just stop. It’s the preparations you take before you quit that determines if you’ll be successful or not. So make sure you have all the data you need before you try and you will be the success you want to be.

This is exactly the kind of information I’ve been looking for. Because I absolutely have no will power whatsoever. Although, I’m well aware of the wonderful rewards will receive upon successfully breaking the habit I’m terrified to do so. Therefore, could you elaborate farther on ways to prepare oneself to overcome the fear if quitting and how to obtain the willpower to do so.
Thank-you for help,

I have just had angioplasty, two stents inserted and am now dianosed with PAD. Smoking is the one pleasure I have always had and have smoked for 52 years. Can I honestly say I want to quit? NO,
but I have no choice. I have gone from a carton a week to to cartons a month. I smoke 13 cigs a day.
I need help badly because I never want to experience the trauma that I went thru to unclog my arteries again. I can now walk for the first time in 5 years without pain and I never want to lose that again.
Hi Brenda,
Keep up the good fight. You will get there if you keep pressing forward.

These tips are helpful, but some I kind of scratch my head its like reverse psychology….But I decided to quit yesterday which my last cigarette was at 8pm lastnight. I decided it last minute to do it. My brother is doing it but he don’t smoke as much I as I do. But I kind of been thinking about it for awhile of quiting. I just don’t enjoy it anymore.. Weird huh….I figure since I don’t enjoy it or it don’t taste good to me anymore, miles well just give it up and I am 32 yrs old and been smoking since I was 11yrs old. And only attempted to quit few times but always failed at it. Because I always enjoyed it and guess wasn’t really ready. But I know now I am truely ready cause for one sick of coughing and it hurting my chest and this is cause of bronchitis which always get alot. Sick of the taste and really just want to be here little longer for my kids….Im not getting any younger and I figure if I keep smoking I will end my life early and I don’t want that. I wanna be here as long as I can be. And Im glad I made the decision to quit and hope I won’t fail. Cause I do not have any willpower at all. But making my bronchitis and pain in my chest be a motivation to stay away from it. Its been about 20 hours since my last one…..but doing good I wanna stick with it……
We’re all rooting for your Sheri!
