The Excellent Way To Quit Smoking Is The Natural Way


The author of the article has been a life long smoker from Europe. After moving to the US, and being detected with asthma, nearing her middle age, she was trying to quit smoking approximately on daily basis, but all of the attempts sadly did not succeed. Nicotine gum and patches didn't work for her, therefore she contacted her doctor, who enrolled her in a program and suggested pills, but that didn't her her quit smoking either. What she discovered was that a drastic change of schedule worked good in her case. Something funny came to to an extremely serious matter suggests that everybody needs to get what works greatly for them, as popular "one size fits all" approach never makes everyone satisfied.

In the first person: I was born 40 something years ago in Europe, with a cigarette in my mouth. My parents smoked, my relatives smoked, my friends smoked. My father is 82 and still a chain smoker. Smoking is an necessary part of cultural habits, meeting people, and having excitement. For a culture that lives on lanes full of cafes, smoking is not optional, it's nearly compulsory.

I was 13 when I got hooked on cigarettes, enough to begin budgeting part of my daily allowance for cigarettes. Mind you, I wasn't an outcast, a straight A student, from a rich academic family, I was actually trying to fit in. At that point, and also many years later, trying to quit smoking was not even in the back of my mind. It will take me 30 more years to reach to that point.

Novelist by occupation, smoking was very much a part of my daily schedule. It was accurately like it used to be in the old black and white movies - me, the typewriter, and the big ashtray with the cigarette butts heaped up high. Soon after I moved to the US, the problems with my smoking ensued. They were not just of social nature any longer; they became a health concern too. Not only did I move to the Bay Area, California, which was the undoubted leader in the witch hunt on smokers, I was analyzed with asthma.

I could say from that moment on, 15 years before, I was trying to quit smoking on a daily basis. There was already a drastic change in place for me - I couldn't smoke at my workplace any more and I had to time my smoking habits according to the office schedule. It was tougher at home as my associate, an American, was a smoker too.

We decided to only smoke outside the home. That didn't work at all, as, unfortunately, it's California, the weather is pleasing year around, so we both finished up simply sleeping in the house, while living, eating, having friends over on the back yard patio. It's amazing with how much yard work you can spend - our postage stamp sized back yard became more like a jungle with heirloom tomatoes, tea roses, sweet peas, and citrus trees.

I finally quit smoking cold turkey. Two years afterward, with a new lease on life, I'm proud to say - I haven't had a cigarette since. I know it very well: once an addict, always an addict and I had my share of night sweats, nightmares, inevitable shivers, unmanageable crying. But I can all the time say it was caused by my divorce drama, not nicotine. Every now and then, during lunch break in the fiscal district, I stop by somebody smoking in front of their office building. Second hand smoke still smells so good.
