Would you like to Quit Smoking

Do you want to quit smoking? I would like to share with you my most recent experience with someone I met and how she inspired me to give it a try.

Just recently I was at a restaurant where the tables were placed pretty close together. I reached in my purse to get a cigarette and then politely asked the person at the next table if cigarette smoke bothered her. She looked at me with a straight face and said "No not at all in fact I am still waiting to have a cigarette". I understood that to mean she would like me to offer her one. Well that wasn't it at all.

She then said " I have been waiting to have a cigarette for 10 years. Ten years ago I decided that there are always situations where you can not have a cigarette and we all manage to wait that 10 minutes or a half hour to have one. So I decided every time I felt like a cigarette I would just wait 10 minutes and I have been waiting 10 minutes for 10 years. I never quit I am just waiting."

Needless to say I have heard many quit smoking stories over the years but never have I heard one like this. I thought to myself how much sense it made since just about everyday of my life I am in that predicament where I can't smoke and waiting is not an issue.

So I am still waiting and so can you

Things You Will Need

I keep a pack of cigarettes in the house so I don't feel deprived but when that reaching habit takes over I use sugarless gum or hard candy, pretzel rods or breadsticks, and straws.
If anyone would like to try this method to quit smoking cigarettes please let me know how you are doing and I will keep you posted on my progress.
