"You Must Wait Two Weeks And Do This And That"
Where did this come from?
Has anyone at the top of the chain considered that it just might take over two weeks to imprint change and acceptance in the human mind for an entirely new lifestyle after the ritual and addiction as deeply established as smoking?
Has anyone considered that counting and focusing on every cigarette just might make someone focus on denial and difficulty instead of the realization of, "hey, I just went 4 hours without a cigarette and it wasn't a problem at all."
Has anyone considered that the more you think about not smoking, the more you are thinking about smoking?
Approach is everything. Just ask a pilot. 🙂
