What Does a Cigarette Contain? It Is More Than Just a "Nicotine Fix"

Smokers are surprised when they first learn that there are over four thousand different chemicals in a cigarette. Many of these chemicals have been directly linked to causing cancer.

Within the four major manufacturers of cigarettes there is considerable research to deliver a product that serves the purpose of tasting and smelling good to the consumer and more importantly having sufficient of the necessary ingredients to remain addictive to it.

As that addiction to cigarettes c… Continue

Can Sunflower Seeds Help You Quit Smoking?

The idea sounds funny but might prove to be true for some smokers especially light smokers, because by getting into the habit of eating sunflower seeds when craving for a cigarette could help kick the smoking habit, while much healthier for the body. I personally think it would be worth a try. What is your opinion about it?

Slipups And Falling Off The Track When Trying To Quit Smoking

Slipups are commonplace for most people who try to quit smoking. Statistics show that most people will try to quit smoking four to five times before they are successful.

This doesn't mean that you should accept you will fail the first few times if you haven't already tried. This information is worthwhile for you to know if you have made other attempts and failed as you can be assured that even with the prior slipups you can succeed as many other people have already done.…

Funny Quotes On Smoking By Famous People:

"I kissed my first girl and smoked my first cigarette on the same day.
I haven't had time for tobacco since."
- Arturo Toscanini

*********************************************************

"I thought I couldn't afford to take her out and smoke as well.
So I gave up cigarettes.
Then I took her out and one day I looked at her and thought: "Oh well," and I went back to smoking again, and that was better."
- Benny Hill

you are my friend, this is something unique I learned about me.
Confrontation is my, ( I shouldn't have to go there with you, you should have known) fear. I hate to say it but I think that I consider other b4 myself. But I have learned that I don't, I learned that I have to consider myself first even if it is by nature, knowing or not knowing. I smoked sometimes because it help me deal with things or people or situations or decisions and etc. that I didnot want to deal with. I know that Im not alone with not wanting to deal with unpleasent things or things that may change me when I'm not ready to change. I have accepted that smoking or overeating is not the answer and I have learned to be patient with myself and others. no matter how hard it is, because I need patience from others so badly now. I don't know how long this way of dealing with confrontation will be a notice to me, but I long for the day when it becomes like setting next to a person with a smoke in there hand doesn't bother me, just the smell from the lit smokes bother me. I want to tell people that I learned how to stop smoking and its can be done, but you the smoker got to want to realy quit and be willing to tell that urge that you have made your mind up to stop smoking. The urges are there as reminders that you still have not fullfilled your life with all that makes you complete. I thank all of you for being apart of my quit.

I hope all is well, 160 hrs without a puff for me. I still need your support.
My weight is my next task, I joined family fitness, I'll start with or without my husband. I have a dependancy issue when it come to starting thing with others, I want them to be there for me and me for them, but since I had to do the work to quit smoking, I'm hoping I have the confidence to do the work to loss some weight. I had a lot of urges yesterday to smoke, but I resisted the urges and did not take a puff. I'm getting lot of support and I thank everybody for helping me.
