Who should you believe on what is the most
successful technique for quitting smoking - the government and most
smoking cessation experts in the world and the professional health
organizations of the world and the pharmacological industry and
almost anyone whose career seems to be based in smoking cessation
or me?
I guess using this standard it would be best not to
believe me. But before jumping ship there is one other important
group of people that you may find that will back me up and who are
already quite credible to you. It's the people in your family and
your friends in your real world who have successfully quit smoking
and been off all nicotine products for at least one year or longer.
Find out how the people you know who are long-term
ex-smokers actually stopped smoking. By long-term I mean people
who are currently off all nicotine for at least a year or longer.
You'll likely find that few if any of them have ever heard of me.
You will see that many of them had previous quits and relapsed,
using all sorts of methods that are endorsed by professionals and
maybe even a few of them had professional help with previous attempts.
You will find that almost all of them did not follow what is considered
the standard recommended advice on how to quit yet they did quit
and are still going strong. You'll find that they most likely quit
by simply stopping smoking one day for one reason or another and
then have been able to stay off by sticking to a commitment that
they made to themselves to not take a puff.
Talk to every long-term ex-smoker you know. Do your
own surveys. While you are at it, talk to the current smokers you
know too. See how many of them have used products and followed the
advice of the professionals. Keep in mind, most professional literature
will advise people to use pharmacologic aids like nicotine replacement
products. Try to see how many long-term successful quitters in your
real world encounters actually followed this advice.
Another piece of advice written in most literature
produced by smoking cessation experts is something to the effect
that temporary slips are common and that you should not let a slip
put you back to smoking. People who write advice like this do not
understand addiction. A person needs to understand that taking a
puff is likely going to kill a quit.
Try to find one smoker who once had quit but are now
smokers again who didn't one day take a puff. Finding one such person
who fits this criteria is going to take you forever. On the other
hand finding current smokers you know who had once had quits that
actually lasted for months, years or decades who lost their quits
by taking that first puff are quite easy to find. Understand, some
of these people had heard comments like, "don't let a slip
make you go back to smoking," but sadly, found out from experience
that they had little control of the matter once they took that puff.
Our advice, if to successfully quit smoking, is to
simply stop smoking. Our advice for staying off cigarettes is simply
to stick to a commitment to never take another puff. So talk to
long-term ex-smokers and find out how they quit and hear how they
have managed to stay off. Pretty soon you will see it is not a matter
of pitting all of the world professionals against me. It becomes
a matter of pitting every long-term ex-smoker you know who has successfully
quit against the world's professionals. Do the surveys and then
I will just become another voice in the crowd of real people who
have proven to you that the way to quit smoking and to stay smoke
free is to Never Take Another Puff!

Why
Do You Really Smoke? Smoking. A habit that we started when we were kids
because we thought it was cool. The same habit that then haunts
us for the rest of our lives. We spend every day from that first

How many of you smokers, knowing what you know now, would have
smoked that first cigarette? None of you right? I thought so.
