How I Quit Smoking

Programs that claim they can help you quit smoking are a complete waste of money and here's why. By the time you've read the useless advice they offer, you'll quickly realise you've been conned and start reaching for your cigarettes.

Quit smoking programs can seriously damage your wealth

Fellow smokers, light up sit back and read on. It's time to stop wasting money on gimmicky ideas that claim they'll help you quit the dreaded weed. Money that would be better spent on a few multipacks of fags so you can carry on smoking to your heart's (and lungs') content. Don't beat yourself up with thoughts that you're the odd one out with no willpower. Forget their extravagent claims that they and they alone can help you. They're only interested in your money and once they've got it as far as they're concerned you can smoke like a kipper.

But surely something's got to work

Spot on, something has got to work and while I tell you why, go ahead and spark up another cancer stick. The reason these programs can claim to work is the scatter gun approach. In other words if enough smokers are dumb enough to part with their hard earned then a percentage of those are going to manage to give up. Maybe having spent money on a program claiming to help them quit they somehow develop that extra willpower to succeed. I'm convinced it's more to do with the fact that they want to see a return for their money rather than any radical advice contained in the program. Time for another ciggie as we move on - that's a really bad cough you've got there by the way, ever thought about giving up?

I can stop you coughing

Well, when I say I can stop you coughing what I really mean is that I can stop you coughing up your money on quit smoking schemes that don't work. You see I've spent fortunes trying many different methods. Let's start with hypnosis. Does anyone seriously believe this mumbo jumbo works? Here's how it went for me. Some weirdo bombarded me with soothing words, lulled me into a deep sleep and then clicked his fingers to waken me. Well, I don't know about you but the first thing I do when I wake up is have a fag. Nicotine patches were a waste of time as drip feeding me shots of nicotine just made my cravings for a smoke even worse. As for gum, who wants to spend their entire waking life chewing like some morose teenager? Add the cost of the foul stuff and it's no wonder I couldn't wait to light up a cigarette. Talking of which, you must be about ready for another one now.

I'd just about given up

Unfortunately, the only thing I'd just about given up wasn't cigarettes. No, I was on the verge of accepting that there are no sure fire cures, no quick fixes and no cast iron certain methods of quitting. I'd more or less decided that I was destined forever to smell of an old ashtray, to gasp for breath at the slightest physical exercise, to wake up in the morning coughing and spluttering like a misfiring car engine. Then the fickle finger of fate stepped in to change my life around. You see, out of the blue, I ran into an old friend I'd not seen in over ten years. We went to a bar, set up a couple of beers and began reminiscing about the past. Knowing Jim was a smoker I tossed my cigarettes across the table and, to my surprise he tossed them right back at me. Grinning he explained how he'd quit. I couldn't believe it because the Jim I knew was a regular 40 a day man who never showed any inclination to give up. When I asked him how tough it had been he told me it'd been easy, stress free and he'd not even suffered the usual piling on of weight associated with quitting smoking.

at this point I'm going to give you two choices

you can click on that little white cross in the top right hand corner of the screen and light another fag, then another and so on.....

or you can read on and find out how Jim did it

Great, you're still with me so I guess I've helped you give up at least one cigarette - it's a start. I was as intrigued by Jim's story as you obviously are and wanted to know just how he'd quit his 40 a day habit. I'd already done a quick mental calculation that told me he must have been saving himself close on to $2500 per year! If he could do it I figured I could too. Jim explained that two years back he'd suffered a mild heart attack that frightened the living daylights out of him. His doctor pulled no punches and warned him he'd be dead inside a year unless he gave up smoking. He referred Jim to a quit smoking program and told him if he followed it religiously it would teach him in just three hours how to give up cigarettes for good. 'So what did you do Jim?' I asked. With a grin he recalled how he'd gone home and lit a cigarette as he waited for the

program to download on his computer. And believe it or not, that was the last cigarette he ever smoked.

QUIT SMOKING RIGHT NOW

I think you can guess what I did when Jim and I finished reminiscing. Following his tradition I lit what I sincerely hoped would be my last cigarette and studied the program. It was like a breath of fresh air which, to a smoker, is no bad thing! I found it innovative, original and powerful. In fact so convincing was its message that almost without thinking I crumpled up three unopened packs of cigarettes knowing that I'd not be needing them. And so it proved. I'd had my final cigarette thanks to Jim. It worked for me, it worked for Jim and it has worked for thousands of other smokers. Now that you've discovered this opportunity do not waste it. Throw away the cigarettes not the opportunity. What you pay for the program will be recouped many times over from the money you save by not having to buy any more packs of cigarettes. Add to that the healthier lifestyle you'll enjoy and it's a no brainer. Don't pass up this chance, you know it makes total sense. Do it.
