Here's the thing, addiction is all in your mind! It's nothing physical - you just think it is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a mental game that you have to play by yourself and sometimes with a friend. Either way, you already know the hazards and health issues it causes. You just ignore it and think that you'll be the ONLY person in the world to not suffer from it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWell, guess again!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt pretty much adds up to one conclusion: CANCER!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt doesn't matter if you're sucking on menthol, lights, and even ultra lights, you're simply paying to kill yourself and hurt the ones who love you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmoking Is So Freak'n Cool!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDo you remember the first time you had your first drag?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe feeling wasn't so great was it? That is because your body actually rejects poison.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI remember the first time I started. I was thinking it was the \"cool\" thing to do. I sat in my bathroom smoking ciggarrette after ciggarrette staring at the mirror as the smoke comes out. 15 minutes later, I finally realized something... I'm getting sick.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you light up a ciggarrette, it goes directly through your bloodstream, affecting many parts of the body including your heart, metabolism, and even your brain. This causes you to age faster, eat inconsistently and think slower.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only is your life at risk, but you could be affecting your friends and family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI use to be a heavy smoker - even when I had two babies. I kept thinking that it's okay, because I go outside to smoke - never inside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI even take the extra precaution to stay outside for a few minutes to \"air\" myself out. I even went as far as wash my hands afterwards. Okay, sometimes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs this what you're doing now?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat I didn't realize was that the smoke was in my breath and had soaked into my clothes. Without knowing, I was talking into my newborn's face and playing with him all the time. I held him him in my arms because I love him so much.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was such a joy... until the day my wife and I rushed him to the hospital. We found out that he was having breathing problems due to the smoke in my breath and in my clothes. I was heartbroken.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI knew I had to quit. I just didn't know how. I was smoking several packs a day. I couldn't just drop it cold-turkey, you know? No way!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKick The Butt Once and For All\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI tried all kinds of stuff. Nothing worked. Tried the patch. Tried hypnotism. Tried the pills. Nothing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI started to do all kinds of research as to WHY I was so addicted and what must be done to quit smoking once and for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou have to understand, tobacco is made up of all sorts of chemicals, some of which are metals. Seriously, who wants to smoke beryllium (toxic metal)?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmoking is harmful to smokers and nonsmokers alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTobacco smoke alone could contain over 4,000 chemicals and it could affect people as much as 50 feet away. You smoke enough and it will travel along with you. You'll have a very distinct odor where people will constantly try to avoid you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAren't you tired of that?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are countless numbers of people suffering from health problems, such as cancer and strokes. Don't add yourself to the statistics. Stop now before it's too late.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mental and Physical Preparation To Quitting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's a way for you to prepare yourself mentally and physically, first off you have to want to quit, otherwise relapses can occur.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo before you actually try to quit, think of the reasons that makes the most sense to you. Here are some of my examples: my children, health, money, yellow teeth and constantly stinky breath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNicotine symptoms can lead you back to smoking. If you do decide to quit cold-turkey there are withdrawal symptoms that can occur both physically and mentally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe physical part to quitting can result into how your body reacts to the absence of the addictive contents of the cigerrettes. Mentally, however, it can be more severe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lack of nicotine could be so intense that the following symptoms can take place:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    * Dizziness\u003cbr\u003e    * Fatigue\u003cbr\u003e    * Depression\u003cbr\u003e    * Anger and Frustration\u003cbr\u003e    * Anxiety\u003cbr\u003e    * Increase of Appetite\u003cbr\u003e    * Sleeping Disorders and or Nightmares","brand":"Lou Diamond","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069079863536,"sku":"2940012228512","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012228512_p0.jpg?v=1763553389","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012228512","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
