Fear of agony

If you can overcome this belief and accept the truth - even, at this stage just as a possibility, you will have overcome one of the major hurdles that keeps people smoking.

This is what an expert who has successfully treated thousands of smokers said recently:

"It amazes me how many people convince themselves that they enjoy smoking - when the truth is that deep down they are terrified of the agony they think they will have to face."  

So people either put off quitting. Or they pretend that they like smoking or, and this is evident in a lot of cases, they cling to a belief that there really is no cure for people who smoke.

These and all other excuses are just a defense we devise to protect ourselves from an agony we believe we must face.

If we only knew that the only physical agony we will face is a tiny physical discomfort that will linger for the first few days.........

Almost one in five of all  premature deaths
are caused by smoking.
