I agree...anyone who smokes, know the "potential" consequences of those actions. No one needs a reminder from....oh well, nevermind.

I'm thinking that a lot of those same people, would be better served concentrating on the "evils" of obesity....and learning to push that plate away a little sooner.


Obesity VS. Smoking (poke here)


.

As a graduate of master's program in 2001 with a course in management of change, I wanted this thread to offer the graphic truth to those/we who would prefer to see reality rather than to stay in denial.

ps if you want to post another thread opposing people wanting to quit, or nobody needs to hear this, or obesity is worse, please go ahead. this thread might not be the best place for your comments...this is a support thread, and undermining of good intention is not appropriate.

My best friend is my doctor. He recently told me, the good lord will give you the first 50 years, the second 50 years, you have to work for it.

Just got back from the gym, because at my age it takes a lot of work, to keep in shape!

thank you! I feel most alive after a swim, when the heart and lungs are pumping!

Reasons to quit:
My son has his late grandmother's initials tattooed on his arm. Her non-smoking siblings are alive and well...he'd far prefer her arms around him than her initials in her memory.
I'd like my arms around my grandchildren when they come, for as long as that is possible.

I quit 16 hours ago. I'm doing good to myself. Nothing to do with you.

Feel this hug.

Prayers too.

Me too. It is very hard.

Oh well, nevermind quitting? I am doing this for myself, not reminding anybody, but simply putting the facts undeniably in front of my eyes and hoping for support. Your assumptions are incorrect, and your compassion is the opposite of support, which is what this thread is about. Why you bothered to post only you can examine in yourself. You irritated my effort, but I am determined.

I would say I love you Grace, but everyone's first words about you are "I love her", so I'm in line shouting out for you. thanks...

Ontrack, I'm not obese. I'm quitting smoking. Can you think of a reason you can help me with....I need all the worst news I can get about it. Smokers are in denial. support???

Graphic images make the destruction undeniably real. May I say gently to those who think everyone knows, so why put any new thing out there, that addicts don't embrace the reality, they/we deny it. Putting the destructive images on the package is coming and already in place in UK, because graphics in your face results on smoking have more impact than animations and lengthy research articles have for most of us, even scholars.
I'm ready for any support, your story, can read in depth text or graphics. I ask you please not to post opposing or confronting my effort.

thanks, Dee. Yes, I stank until 8 a.m. yesterday. I care about you...but that's not about smoking. Very nice to meet you.

Kitty this may sound overly simplistic yet it has worked for me (quite some time ago) and others who have used it. Just keep reminding yourself "I am not a smoker", "I don't smoke" and be absolute in that saying. Soon you will believe it and act accordingly, works for other habits as well. No use in filling your head with all the evils, etc. just inscribe this on your mind; "I don't smoke".
