Chris Williams had been smoking for forty years.
"I thought I would never quit. I had tried many expensive products to try cut down or stop - nicotine gum, the nicorette, patches - and nothing had worked."
Like many other people, Chris tried nicotine cessation therapy to quit smoking. However, what's not displayed on the packaging of nicotine cessation aids is their very poor 5% long-term success rate.
In the end Chris, under pressure from his family, found a solution to his problem - and it didn't involve quitting.
An alternative to smoking
The electronic cigarette contains nicotine, but without the associated tar, tobacco and combustion found in cigarettes.

Yesterday we talked about the hazardous effects of smoking. Today I will teach you simple and easy to do ways on how to quit smoking, the many benefits of quitting smoking and the many kinds of cancers caused by smoking. But first and foremost, do you know any person in your life that you consider as a chain smoker? The reason for this is for you to have a target; now if the person you know is yourself, then your motivation is geared towards yourself, but if it’s another person, then that person is your motivation. Let me start by saying that the only reason why “Man made his pencil with erasers, is because he knows that he’s Imperfect”.

What is the first thing that comes in your mind when you see a person who smokes? Would they look sexy to you because they’re cool? Or would they look gross to you? Certainly we all have our own point of views regarding the subject cigarette smoking. In my case, I strongly oppose this, simply because I am a health and wellness coach, it therefore means that I know the many hazards it can bring to its users. So let me start by saying, “There are no good reasons in cigarette smoking”. And to me the reasons that smokers have in their indulgence to smoke are all self-centered; these includes individual freedom, boredom, addiction, “Curiosity” and many more but there are a lot of good reasons why people should stop smoking.

Dependency- too much of it- on someone or something has many disadvantages, to say the least. When a person is (too) dependent on a thing or person, they constantly need it or them.

You Ought To Be Aware Of The Effects Of Smoking
There are many reasons why people smoke. People who are usually in the habit of smoking merely think on a short term scale. It could be because of its perceived glamour- men look more manly and women look more sexy. Or perhaps simply because it makes them feel good. There are people as well who smoke for stress reduction- it makes them feel relieved so to speak. But of all these perceived benefits, can one really get any good? Are these benefits really worth it in the long run? The answer is apparently a big NO. When somebody comes to think of the harmful effects of smoking, would they still consider the habit? Perhaps not, and if you are a habitual smoker as well, then you should be aware.
