If I only had one sentence to tell them.....
Smoking is an addiction and stopping smoking is a process that requires you to be awake and alert and aware of your body and mind at all times.

What One thing would I tell someone about quitting?
Never, ever get the big head that you've successfully quit to the point that you sound like a "reformed smoker" because people new to their quit will definitely be turned off by your advice.

Life's stuggles will still be there whether you smoke or not.. and a smoke will not make your struggles disappear but smoking will surely kill you - that's a certainty!

The only thing I would say was: Don't dwell on the past. Quitting smoking is a positive thing and don't blame every bad day on not smoking. Cheer up and be happy that you are not a smoker anymore.

My latest mantra : "This is Bulls***!" That is my latest attack on those smoking thoughts. It's all a lie, a psychological trick by that nico-demon to try and keep me hooked and coming back, even when the nicotine itself is physically gone from my system. And with that knowledge, I now know that I CAN overcome this addiction!

Banning yourself from smoking is resisting evil...Choosing not to smoke is creating a higher good...I would choose to create a higher good...If you resist evil you are sure to cave at some point, but if you sincerely choose not to smoke, you will choose a greater good over and over and over again...Until the greater good becomes your way of being...
