Smoking Facts !
WHY IS IT DIFFICULT TO STOP SMOKING ?
I bet you have asked yourself this question again and again.
Every smoker has.
We know it is bad for us. We all think we know smoking facts. We KNOW it is KILLING us and yet….. we
continue to do it.
And to make things worse……every time, we try to stop, we seem to WANT

Even all the health scares don't affect us.
From new statistics, we now know that over 50% of all regular
smokers will die from smoking-related diseases. One in Two smokers will die prematurely of smoking related diseases.There are the undeniable smoking facts.
And when you look even closer at the truth of the matter, it is even
more incredible……

still kept smoking for years afterwards.

I had only been smoking a little while when I heard my parents say
that he knew he was dying from cancer, but still he wouldn't quit smoking.
Although I wasn't aware of it at the time, I drew two very damaging
conclusions from my grandfather's decision.
One, I concluded — that either cigarette must indeed be very enjoyable:
Why one someone keep doing it even though it was killing him? (I did not
know of the addictive nature of the drug – nicotine at that stage. I was only 11)
And two: It must be impossible to give up smoking once you start. Otherwise,
surely he would have stopped…………………?
I had unfortunately established these incorrect smoking facts in my mind.
Surely……
