In some cigarette brands, you can see a very big warning to the public such as: U.S. Surgeon General’s Warning! Cigarette smoking is extremely addictive or Cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health.

If I remember it right, I was 10 years old when I first tasted a cigarette stick (though that was’nt actually smoking because I was just trying to immitate my uncles) out of curiousity and peer’s influence. Years after, I was already addicted to cigarettes. I smoke right after I take my breakfast, after lunch and dinner, before I go to bed to sleep, after I wake up, when I feel stressed, nervous, to cut it short, it already became a part of my system. Until I couldnt last a day without having a taste of even a single stick of my favorite brand. My average was 15 pieces per day, and the most was 1 pack.

It took me years to finally quit it, I’ve already tried those Zero-Nicotine, Marijuana-smelling cigarettes which promises to make you quit smoking in just 7 days. I’ve even tried consulting to different friends who managed to quit their vices. I had even gone under prayer over with my pastor whom i consulted my situation.

Perhaps I may say thay I am lucky and blessed enough to realize and find a way to quit smoking. Smoking really is dangerous to our health, it is severely addictive like the government reminds.

Smoking kills! That’s a fact. It may not kill you right away the moment you put your cigarette on your mouth. But as you puff, every cigarette you’re taking is taking away 15 minutes of your life. Three forth of the top 10 causes of death in the world is caused by smoking. These are coronary heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, AIDS, tuberculosis, lung cancer, premature child birth.

If you love your life, decide to quit smoking now. There are therapies and medications that will help you quit smoking. An effective way is the Nicotine Replacement Therapy which helps smoker stop using cigarettes to get nicotine. This therapy is safe but you need to consult a doctor before using it if you have heart attack, irregular heart beat, high blood, pregnant, or below 18.

There are many Nicotine Replacement Therapy Medications you can buy even without prescription but, again, you need to consult your doctor before trying it. These are nicotine patch, Nicotine Lozenge, Nicotine Nasal Spray, Nicotine Gum. There are also medications that are nicotine free. But you need a prescription from your doctor before you use this. Some cigarettes nowadays come up with no nicotine on them. The good this about these is that they reduce your cravings for cigarette and reduce the withdrawal symptoms as well.

Using any of these medications increases your chance to succeed in your goal to quit smoking.
