Quit smoking cigarettes...

Quit smoking the easy way! From Passing Show, Panama, Cool, Berkeley, Number Ten, Wills King (all the varieties) Navy Cut, Camel, 555, Charminar without "filter",Charms, Scissors, Gold Flake cigarettes to beedies from Ganesh bidi, Sadhu beedies, & Cigars from Havana, I had smoked not forgetting the pipes i constantly experimented for variety! Oh yes, I used to roll my own cigarettes from a pouch for making a style statement!! When the tobacco pouch was not available at Spencers, I used to scout the whole of Bangalore on my Bullet! And over the years, I started including cartons of cigarettes in our monthly grocery list! My wife was scandalised . In the Bank where I worked ....I was a source for cigarettes and match boxes...later designer lighters!! And friends of mine who went abroad brought loads of cartons as gifts!It even went to the extent, that I would judge a guy by the brand he smoked!! How ridiculous!!!! I really spent a big fortune on cigarettes, cumulatively...Yes...you could'nt find a more refined and polished smoker than me...smoking more than 40 cigarettes a day and relishing it too!

There comes a time when the shirt you wear, however clean and white, stinks...and over time the whole house stinks of cigarettes!

You are aware of the negative effects of nicotine an addictive chemical which takes over our senses & plays havoc on our continued craving for cigarettes. Yes, cigarettes were such a relief for me. One for the morning loo, one after coffee, one after breakfast, one after this that and another & if you are the one who boozes in the evening you know better than me.

The inhalation of smoke as it descends into our lungs and the feel good factor it brings are the greatest inventions for soothing the frayed nerves and whatever "problems" we encounter.Even now, 18 years after quitting smoking...i can relive the days of euphoria while inhaling the smoke...but friends...the life after quitting is something u have to experience. Its like a new flyover opened up from your mouth to the larynx down to your lungs...and earlier it was clogged with the jams of the traffic caused by tar build up. Experience the new "breathe easy" highway!!

We have all been conditioned to believe that it is really really very difficult to stop smoking. AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. Believe me, if you honestly believe that you can quit, you can quit! Please believe me even though I sound like a pompous self help Guru - YOU CAN QUIT -if only you ============================================================= the mantra which got me to stop smoking. Now in 2011, 18 years later after I quit in October 1993 smoking millions of cigarettes for over 27 years, I really feel nice & happy that I have to climb the stairs if the lift in our apartment is not working !! :) . Earlier with my heavy smoking habit, i was short of breath for everything...climbing stairs / light physical work / etc etc.....:)

Its quite easy to quit smoking, but I did not know that it was easy, because I had been conditioned to believe that it was very very difficult!!!!

I will share with you the nitty gritty nuances which will help you get over the habit. Frankly, I can take only 5 or 6 smokers at a time for full fledged counselling...for a period of 7 days.
