Learn how to go from a chain smoker to a non smoker, it will be tough but you will be able to get rid of this bad habit

1. How to Go On From Smoking to Nonsmoking
Mode
Our family lived in a small apartment once upon a time. We were only three little sisters then. Mom
and Dad had a lot of responsibilities to take care of within the family. Additionally, Dad was
working at the University. He found it hard to go on given all the pressures of life. So he took up
smoking to be tension-free and relaxed. But the interesting point is that he eventually gave up
smoking. So how did he go on from smoking to nonsmoking mode? How you can too. This is what
this article is about.
Dad used to finish one pack after another one of cigarettes in one day. He was addicted to it. The
more he smoked, the stronger was his addiction until one day he had severe chest pain. He was in
his forties then. He thought he should check up with the doctor, and he did.
Well, the doctor had an X-ray of his chest and found his heart to have developed ischemia. Dad was
frightened to death. He asked the doctor what his options were and what he could do to improve his
health condition. Obviously, as you guessed, the doctor asked him to be on a strict diet plan and
completely abandon smoking. Was it possible for Dad? Time would show Dad was a great guy of
promise.
He formed a plan for himself. He started having smaller portions of his meals, without putting too
much restriction. He reduced his smoking habit from several packs to one pack per day, then from
one pack to several cigarettes per day until he smoked five per day. After this stage, he promised us
he would get rid of it from his system completely. Did he do that? Yes, in the days that followed, he
would be caught smoking one or two cigarettes until his promise was as good as gold. Yes, he gave
up smoking totally.
Relatives and friends were taken up by surprise and longed to know his secrets. And he only gave
one of his wide grins. We, the sisters were proud of him. He made it until 14 years later when he
had his first heart attack and got ill. After several more attacks, he was no more able to survive. But
he got 14 more years of his life just because he made a wise choice of giving up smoking altogether.
How many of you out there can be like my Dad? I urge you to give up smoking because it is so
hazardous to health and hence, one's longevity. This is my golden advice to you, having experienced
Dad's journey from smoking to nonsmoking mode. You will have a life full of happiness, vibrancy
and flexibility and a whole lot more if you dare to make a wise choice now. I promise you that with
all my heart.
