Are You Being Tempted To Start Smoking Cigarettes
September 7th, 2009 | Published in Stop Smoking Tips
Anyone in this day and age would have to be absolutely out of their mind to start smoking cigarettes. It is bad enough for the ones that already smoke and they know how bad it is for them too. The only thing is that once you become addicted to cigarettes, you will have a much harder time stopping than you ever did starting. When you are already completely educated as to the hazardous effects that smoking has on the body, why in the world would anyone start this habit?
It might be that you have been tempted to start smoking because you associate with other people that do. Maybe you think they must be getting something from it that you might like because they appear to enjoy it a lot. Take the word of most people that are addicted to smoking and believe that they are really not enjoying it very much at all. It is because they are addicted to it. Do you really want to become addicted to something that is one of the hardest things in the history of man to stop doing once you do not like it anymore? Have you ever been addicted to anything else? If you have then you can bet cigarettes will be just as bad or worse.
There are no good reasons for anyone to start smoking. It is as simple as that. If you are being tempted to smoke by those around you, then try to stop being around them. If you want to take up a new hobby, never let it be smoking. If you want to throw away a lot of your hard earned money on a habit that has zero rewards, that would be smoking cigarettes. If you wan to run your health into the ground, that would be cigarettes too. If you want to be tied to an oxygen bottle during your hard earned retirement instead of lying on a beach somewhere, then go ahead and start smoking.
It does not take very much effort to turn down that very first cigarette, What it does take to not smoke a last cigarette is more determination and willpower than you could even imagine. Just do not do it. It might not seem like such a big deal to just have one or two, but one or two a day can quickly turn into one or two packs a day before you know. Then you have a monkey on your back that just never wants to let go. Even if you managed to quit, it is a monkey that many people have to continue running from for the rest of their lives.
