habit

After my smoking blog earlier in the week I heard from people who have kicked the habit. I thought you might be interested in reading their comments and suggestions. Go cold turkey. Just stop lighting up. Don't put pressure on yourself to quit. Just try to go one day without cigarettes. Tired of coughing, "I stared at the cigarette, crushed it, and never looked back." Try hypnotherapy Try acupuncture Use the nicotine patch. It helps with the cravings.

It's the first day of Lent and my friend is using this time to try to give up smoking for good.  I really hope he's able to kick the habit!  I've had smokers in my family and know that quitting is not easy.  But we all know the health benefits that come from quitting so I'm really routing for him and all of YOU who might be trying to give up tobacco...
