Home | Health & Fitness | Quit Smoking Are You Ready to Quit Smoking? Just planning to quit sometime in the future is just a way of delaying what you honestly do not want to do or are not ready to do. Sure, you may want to quit smoking, but if you're planning to quit rather than just doing it now, chances are that you're not ready to quit smoking. Quitting Smoking Isn't About Trying It's a state of mind. You must set it in your mind that you are going to quit smoking now. Trying to quit doesn't work. How many times have you heard someone say, "I tried to quit, but I couldn't". That's because they "tried" - they didn't make up their mind that they would quit smoking now. Do you only want to try quit smoking, or do you actually want to quit smoking? If you answered "yes" to the first question, there is no point in reading any further because you are not ready for the Big day. Typically, when someone says he will try to do something, there are more chances that he will fail because he already has it in his mind that there is a chance that he will not be able to do what he committed for. Therefore, they unintentionally or unconsciously plan for failure. You must make a commitment to yourself that from this day onward, you will live your life as a non-smoker. If you answered "yes" to the second sentence, congratulations! Welcome to the non-smoking and living a long, healthy life Zone! Let's get started! Now that you're sure you are ready to quit smoking, take out a pen and piece of paper. You will need it to make a few easy calculations. • How many packs of cigarettes do you smoke per day? Write down that number. • How much do you pay for a pack of cigarettes? Write down that number. • Now multiply the two numbers together and circle that number. That is the amount of money you spend on cigarettes each day. Now multiply that number by 365 [days]. Circle that number. That is the amount of money you spend each year on cigarettes. Now let's take it one step further. Fill in the "X" with the numbers you calculated above. There are 20 cigarettes in a pack. If you smoke X packs of cigarettes per day, times 20, you are smoking X cigarettes per day. Normally, a person spends 8 hours per day sleeping. That leaves 16 hours per day available for smoking. So, if you take X cigarettes per day, that means you smoke X cigarettes per hour! Multiply that number by the current cost of cigarettes. Write down that number and circle it. How much money have you been spending on cigarettes? It's time to save that money for something worthwhile and meaningful! There are 1000 better ways to spend that money, so think again and say no to cigarettes NOW! Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
