According to a motivational speaker I listen to sometimes, it’s almost impossible to achieve anything worthy in this life without having enough reason for having such a dream. Same thing apply to smoke quitting. Before you can be able to gain enough courage and confidence needed to stop smoking you really need to have enough reason for doing so. If you are asked today – why did you want to quit smoking? What will you say?
Probably you’ve not really stop to think of it yourself. You are probably living other peoples dream or trying to satisfying somebody by stop smoking. Hey! It doesn’t have to be that way. You may find it difficult to quit smoking completely without having enough genuine reasons to stop this habit you’ve been living with for long.

Having good health should be one of main reason why you should quit smoking. If you smoke you are really playing with your health. The damage that the smoke from each cigarette is doing to your immune system can never be compare to brief immediate satisfaction you get. So if you really want to feel and stay healthy you really have to stop smoking. You will end up spending fortune in buying medicine, and, paying hospital bills.
Knowing what you are quitting for will make it much easier for you to resists next urge to smoke. You need lots of motivation and courage to be able to resist lighting next stick of cigarette when you are feeling like. One way to motivate yourself is to come up with enough reasons to quit.

Your family and friends will not be glad to loose you’re so soon. Friend this is enough reason for you to stop smoking. Another main reason why you have to stop is the financial burden you will be putting on yourself as a result of your daily smoking habit.

If you invest same in buying stock your next generation will not die poor. If you truly wants to live longer and happy with good health and several thousands of dollars in your savings account decide to quit now.
Why are there many smokers?
Lots of people start smoking because of various reasons, possibly known to them only. However there are few reasons that are common to most smokers. Some of these reasons are personal attitude, cooling of stress and pressure from peer group. Most youth are often subjected to pressure from peer group either good or bad. As a young fellow you will not want your friends to take you for granted. You won’t want to feel inferior.
Because of this you will end up listen to their advice and it will even make it easy for them to compel you to do what they are doing. If you happen to be in group of people that plays with cigarettes, because of its availability there is possibility you will start doing same thing. In the book “Unlocking the Secrets of Your Childhood Memories”, Dr Kevin Leman said … “One day when I was seven, as I walked to school I found a brand new, un-smoked Viceroy cigarette lying on the ground.
I picked it up and slipped it into my pocket. After school I was walking home when an older kid from our neighborhood came by on his bike. He was twelve and sort of my hero-the Eddy Haskell type. I didn’t know how to smoke, but I had that cigarette in my pocket and I wanted to learn. So I asked “Eddy” for a ride, and as I slipped up on the handlebars, I put the Viceroy in my mouth and said, “Hey, ‘Eddy’ … got a light?”
And it was on that ride home I smoked my first cigarette feeling very big and touch – just like “Eddy.” Apart from the pressure from peer group most teenagers often start smoking to protest against the existing rules of the society. They will want to feel different. This type of attitude often leads turn them to become addicted to smoking when they grow up.
