Deeply addicted to smoking
The true facts that everyone knows about smoking. Once you start, you may not able to stop. Same goes to drugs and alcohol. Even though it seems that there is a lot of public quit smoking organization held by the government, it might not be powerful enough to help one completely quit smoking. This smoking desire is infect control by the individual itself. If you are smoking, the chance of quitting is 50-50. Mindset is really important followed by self motivation. Without this two, you may consider yourself digging your own grave earlier.
Anyway, how long does it take to get hooked up with smoking? A recent research done showed that one quarter of 11 to 13 years old who smoke as few as two or three cigarettes a day become addicted in just two weeks. And many of the rest got addicted shortly after that. Once hooked, the average smoker is unable to stop for seventeen years! And every year, they will spend $1200 or more on tobacco products, to maintain their addiction. This remind me of the money they are spending. Imagine $1200 a year that will make $12000 in 10 years. I would get my self a car with that money rather than throwing it in the drain.
Once they get addicted, nearly all smokers try to stop a number of times. But most fail repeatedly at quitting, and many are never able to stop smoking.
Reality check: there is no product which works well. 85 out of every 100 quitters using the nicotine patch or gum go back to smoking within a year. Once you are hooked, there's just no easy way out. For smokers who quit without being in a program, it's worse — 95 out of 100 of them fail, and return to the habit within a year.
The lesson is clear. With no program, statistically smokers have only a 5% chance of success. With a program, the average quitter's chances increase to 15%. So getting into a program increases your chances of quitting by three times. Not trying at all, of course, means that nothing will change.
Keep in touch with me as i will be publishing some worthy programs to follow in the near future. Thanks.
