Why Stop Smoking?
The biggest contribution you can make to your future health is to stop smoking. As soon as you stop, your risk of getting cancer, or havinga stroke or heart attack, starts going down. You will also breathe better, have fewer coughs and your clothes will smell fresher.Research has shown that smoking can make your skin more wrinkly and make you look older, so stopping will help your appearance.
Facts and Figures. Smoking-related illnesses kill 100,000 peoplea year—that is 5 times-as many as road accidents. The good news is that millions upon millions of people in the world have stopped smoking in the last 15 years. Also about 150 large trees are cut down to make 1 acre of tobacco. The average smoker gets through 1 tree every 2 weeks. So if you stop you will also be helping to save the environment.
Hints on Smoking. People who stop smoking at once are most likely to stay stopped. Set a "quit date" in your diary and stop completely on that date. Keeping a diary for a week before stopping, listing every cigarette smoked and why, may help you realize that you do not really need to smoke.
Tell family and friends and get their support. Giving up smoking is also much easier if couples and friends try together.
Create no-smoking areas at home and work.
Remove all ashtrays from the immediate environment.
Where possible, avoid situations where you might be tempted to smoke.
Take up exercise or a hobby to replace smoking.
If stopping at once does not work, try cutting down slowly. You can do this in several ways, for example:
Smoking only a part of the cigarette
Cutting cigarettes in half
Smoking herbal cigarettes
Buying smaller packets
Stopping for one day a week and gradually increasing the smoke- free period.
Collect the money otherwise spent on cigarettes in a glass jar. Keep the jar on a shelf within easy view.
Some people carry an unopened packet with them so that they do not panic when they "give in". This works to relieve their anxiety—the person often finds they never open the packet.
Withdrawal effects are rarely severe and usually pass in a month
or SO.
