The title is pretty dumb, it is obvious that smoking should have never started in the first place!
My question to anyone that might help, is the following:
I started smoking at age 12 and since then, I increased to smoke my usual 2 packs a day.Smart eh? Anyway, now I am at age 37 with 3 beatifull kids and wife and the desire to stop smoking. I tried everything, hypnosis, zybane, patch etc.etc you name it.
The reason why I never made it I believe it is basically will power. I have a huge physical dependance from smoking. I get dizzy, I studder, I can't work if I do not smoke.The question that I posed my self (Maybe also as an excuse is: Is it worth it?) Is it worth to screw all your social life? Your marriage? Your relation with the kids? Your work? Unfortunately you probably all know the answer I gave my self. NO.
The only thing that makes me really furious, is these *******s from Philip Morris that are now pushing health related issues with commercials when they basically made the whole world start smoking. Also many governments, will allow the use of Tobacco, guns, alchool because there is too much money involved.It is sickening. What are the alternatives? My utopia, is that some day a magic little pill will stop all cravings and then life will go on healthier.
