Nov. 15 marks this year's Great American Smokeout, when organizations across the country encourage smokers to quit the habit. Yahoo asked former smokers to offer to advice to those trying to stop smoking.
FIRST PERSON | Kicking the habit. It sounds a great deal easier than it is. I had first tried a cigarette when I was in the eighth grade. I thought it was disgusting at first. However, all my friends did it and I wanted to look cool. It was traditional peer pressure.
I would steal cigarettes from family members for my friends. This did not last long. I did not really start smoking until I was about 14. Again, another age I should not have done this. I am sure I am not the only one who fell victim to peer pressure. I would hang out with friends and spray down myself in hairspray and use a great deal of mouth wash before I went home. I did not become completely addicted until I was about 18 years old. I could use the easy excuse and say, "Hey everyone is doing it." The truth is I actually liked it and became addicted.
Just because someone is a smoker does not mean they are a bad person. I know many laws were put in place to make it harder to smoke in public, such as no more indoor smoking and no smoking within a certain amount of feet from building. About two years ago, I got sick and while I was hospitalized, my nicotine craving was driving me wild. That is when I was started on a medication called Chantix. The medication worked by making me able to slowly quit smoking. Eventually the taste of the cigarette started tasting badly. I started tasting more tar than nicotine. That medication did help me and I quit smoking at that time. Two years later I started back up. I said it was because of stress, and at the time I believed it.
It was not until recently I found a way I could smoke without getting all of the extra stuff in cigarettes that makes is so much unhealthier. I started smoking an electronic cigarette. I recently found a brand called smokeless Image, sometimes known as Volt. I realized with Volt they have a great opportunity to help us kick the ashes.
The benefit I have found with Smokeless Image electronic cigarettes is that they encourage the different strengths of the product. The product has five strengths ranging from 2.3 percent and all the way down to 0 percent. I myself have already moved down from 2.3 to 1.8 and my husband from .6 to 0 percent. The hardest thing about quitting smoking in my mind is not having that strength of nicotine or even the cigarette to hold or use; this is a possible way that could help many people just as it has for me and my husband to lead us toward kicking the habit.
