English. Allen Carr. Easy way to leave off smoking

[Admin]

Cigarettes in itself — poison and a muck.
That is why you suffer from illusion of receiving pleasure from cigarettes only later some period of abstention.
Like feelings of hunger or thirst, the longer you suffer from them, the feel more pleasures when you, at last, satisfy them.
Smokers make a mistake, considering that smoking — only a habit.
They think:
"If I managed to reduce smoking to a certain level or if I could smoke only special cases, then my body and reason would agree with it.
Then, if it wants to me, I will be able to keep quantity of the smoked cigarettes at the same level or even still to reduce it".
Accurately understand:
there is no "habit".
Smoking is a drug addiction.
The natural aspiration can be considered the aspiration to ease disaccustoming torments, but not to prolong them.
Even desire to hold smoking at the same level at which you are now, will demand from you will power and discipline during all remained life:
as the immunity of your organism to drug grows, you want to smoke more and more, and it is not less and less.
As nicotine begins to ruin your physical and intellectual health and to loosen your nervous system, confidence in Sebha and own forces, all of you will be less capable to resist the aspiration to reduce intervals between cigarettes.
That is why right at the beginning we still can smoke or not smoke.
If we catch cold, then we stop smoking.
It explains why the people of my type who never had illusions that derive pleasure from smoking were forced to continue to smoke one cigarette for another, despite of the fact that each cigarette became the real physical torture.
Do not envy that woman.
When you smoke only one cigarette in twelve hours, it becomes for you the most valuable thing in the world.
Within twelve hours the poor woman was in persistent fight against herself.
She could not leave off smoking, at the same time terribly was afraid to increase consumption of nicotine because of fear to develop lung cancer as her parents.
But she had to struggle with temptation within twenty three hours and ten minutes every single day.
The huge will power was required to make it managed what and as I already spoke, such cases are rather rare.
But, eventually, it after all made her cry.
Look at a situation in terms of logic:
or smoking contains genuine pleasure and support, or at all there is nothing.
If in it though something is, then who will want to wait for hour, day or week?
Why during certain time the people refuse to themselves receiving pleasure or support?
And if in smoking there is no sheer pleasure or a support, then why then in general to smoke?
I remember other case, with the man who smoked five cigarettes a day.
It began phone conversation with a hoarse voice:
"Mister of Carrhae, I just wanted to leave off smoking before I die".
Here is how this person described the life.
"I am sixty one years old.
Because of smoking I got throat cancer.
Now I can physically smoke only five roll-ups a day.
Earlier I slept tight all night long.
Now I wake up each hour, and the only thing what I can think of, is a tobacco.
Even when I sleep, I dream to smoke.
I cannot smoke the first cigarette in the morning till 10 o'clock.
I get up at 5 in the morning and I drink uncountable cups of tea.
My wife gets up around eight and as now I have absolutely disgusting character, she does not allow me to remain in the house.
I go to the greenhouse and I try to be engaged in something, but I am persistently pursued by thoughts of smoking.
In nine I begin to twist the first cigarette and I twist it until it does not become ideal.
Not that it was necessary for me that it was ideal, it is simple to me is, than to be engaged.
Then I wait for 10 hours.
When time approaches, my hands begin to shiver uncontrolledly.
I do not get a light a cigarette at once.
If I light, then I should wait for three hours to following.
After all, I light, I do one inhaling and at once I extinguish a cigarette.
Continuing thus, I can drag out smoking of one cigarette at the whole o'clock.
I smoke a cigarette while from it there is no quarter of inch (0.6 cm), and then I wait following".
In addition to all its adversities, the poor creature burned to himself both lips as smoked cigarettes almost till the end.
Perhaps, you had an image of the full moron.
But it at all not so.
This person — the former sergeant of marines.
Earlier it did athletics and did not want to become the smoker at all.
However in the last war the society considered that cigarettes give courage, and all soldiers were given soldering of cigarettes.
He was actually ordered to become the smoker.
He spent the life rest, spending a fantastic sum for cigarettes and spending funds of taxpayers for own treatment — all this completely ruined his health and undermined vital forces.
Be it not the person, and an animal, society would take pity on it and stopped his tortures, however we live and we continue to resolve physically and to intellectually healthy teenagers to become dependent on smoking.
You can think that the given case — exaggeration.
Yes, it is an extreme case, but not unique.
Thousands of similar stories are known to me literally.
That man unburdened to me the heart, but can be sure that his many friends and acquaintances envy him as he smokes only five cigarettes a day.
If you think that to you there will be nothing similar, STOP to DECEIVE YOURSELF.
IT ALREADY HAPPENS TO YOU.
Anyway, smokers are the unscrupulous liars lying even to themselves.
They are forced to lie.
Most of irregular smokers smokes much more cigarettes and much bigger quantity of occasions, than admit.
I led many discussions with so-called "five-cigarettes-pass" - smokers during whom they smoked more than five cigarettes only at my presence.
Observe irregular smokers at parties, for example, at weddings and birthdays.
As well as most of other smokers, they will continuously smoke.
You should not envy irregular smokers.
You should not smoke at all.
Life it is infinite more with pleasure without cigarettes.
As a rule, it is much more difficult to cure teenagers, at all not because it seems to them that it is difficult to leave off smoking.
They or do not believe that they became addicted to nicotine, or still are at an initial stage of a disease and suffer from illusion that will manage to throw before pass to the second stage.
Especially I would like to warn parents of children who hate smoking that they had no false feeling of safety.
All children hate a smell and taste of tobacco, will not become addicted to it yet.
At the time you did not like smoking too.
Also be not deceived by the state campaigns against smoking.
The trap remains same what was always.
Children know that cigarettes kill, but still they perfectly understand that one cigarette will not kill.
At a certain stage they can get under influence of the friend or girlfriend, schoolmate or fellow worker.
Perhaps, you consider that they need just to try to begin to smoke one cigarette which taste will be so terrible that they will never become addicted to smoking.
It seems to me that inability of society to prevent hit of our children in dependence on nicotine and other drugs — the most sad of all numerous sad parties of the problem discussed by us.
I reflected over it much and wrote the book (which appeared in Russian in Kind Book publishing house) which purpose is to address a problem of how to save our children from addiction to smoking and how to help them to get rid of it if they already became addicted.
The vast majority of the teenagers who are becoming dependent on more dangerous drugs for the first time get acquainted with a concept of chemical dependence when get to a nicotinic trap.
Therefore helping them to avoid it, you considerably will reduce risk that they will become addicted to more dangerous drugs.
I ask you, leave complacency in this question.
It is necessary to protect teenagers at the earliest age and if you have children, I insistently advise you to read my book.
Even if you suspect that your child, perhaps, already became addicted to drug, the book will provide you the great management which will help to cure it.

The secret smoker of the Secret smoker it would be necessary to refer to the same category, as irregular, however impact of secret smoking is so artful that deserves separate chapter.
It can quite lead to a rupture of personal relations.
In my case it nearly led to a divorce.
There passed three weeks from my unfortunate attempt to leave off smoking.
The concern of the wife concerning my constant cough and the whistling breath was the cause to try.
I told it that I do not worry about own health.
She answered:
"I know that you do not worry, but kind of you felt if it was forced to observe as someone whom you love, systematically does itself harm?" This argument seemed to me incontestable from where there was an attempt to throw.
It ended with failure three weeks later after the rough quarrel with the old friend.
Only after many years reached me that my lost mind specially started that dispute.
I awfully was upset.
I do not think that it was mere coincidence, I never quarreled with this friend to, after that.
It is absolutely clear that it is work of a small monster.
Anyway, I received an excuse.
I desperately needed a cigarette therefore I started over again smoking.
To me it was intolerable to think what disappointment will bring the decision again to begin to smoke to my wife therefore I told nothing to her.
I smoked only alone.
Gradually I began to smoke in the company of friends until at last the situation reached that all around, except my wife, was known that I smoke.
I remember how I was happy.
I thought:
"Well, at least, I reduce nicotine consumption".
After all, the wife accused me of what I continue to smoke.
I did not realize it, but she listed me all those cases when I began a quarrel and in rage took off from the house.
In other situations at me two hours to buy some trifle left and if earlier I invited the wife to keep me the company, then now found muffled excuses to go to one.
As in society the abyss between smokers and non-smoking spreads, there is a set of cases when communication with friends or relatives is limited or even stops because of disgusting addiction to tobacco.

[Admin]

The most awful that secret smoking supports illusion at the smoker that he something is deprived.
Besides, it leads to serious loss of self-esteem:
the honest person is forced to lie to relatives and friends.
Perhaps, something similar happens also to you.
It happened to me several times.
Did you sometime watch the detective soap opera "Colombo" on television?
The subject course is identical to all series.
The criminal, usually wealthy and dear businessman, makes that he considers "perfect murder" which to open, according to him, is impossible.
His confidence in impunity gets support when he learns that legal investigation is entrusted to externally unsightly and not making a strong impression detective Colombo.
Colombo has an unpleasant habit to close a door after the end of interrogation, kind of assuring the criminal that it is out of suspicions, but before from the face of the murderer the expression of satisfaction disappears, Colombo appears with words again:
"You can explain only one small misunderstanding, the sir which, I am sure ..." The Suspect begins to falter, and from this point both we, and he know that Colombo will gradually press it.
During this moment to me it became absolutely unimportant how disgusting was the committed crime, and my sympathies were on the side of the murderer.
I as if itself was on the place of the criminal — quite so forced me to feel these attacks of secret smoking.
I remember long hours during which I could not smoke, and then made the way in a garage for the sake of an inhaling furtively, or ten minutes shivered on cold, being perplexed why smoking does not bring me usual pleasure.
I remember fear that I will be caught red-handed.
And suddenly the wife will find my hiding place where I hide cigarettes the lighter and stubs?
I remember the simplification when I managed to make the way to the house unnoticed, and behind it at once — again fear that she will guess a nicotine smell from clothes or my breath.
Every new day lived in these fears I understood more and more clearly that sooner or later I will be caught by all means.
Final humiliation and I was ashamed when it, at last, occurred after what immediate return to continuous smoking followed.
OH, THESE PLEASURES OF LIFE OF THE SMOKER!

Public habit?
The main reason why in Great Britain from 60th years of the 20th century left off smoking more than 15 million people, was that revolution in public opinion which took place in relation to smoking.
Yes, he agrees:
health and money — good reasons on which we have to want to leave off smoking, but they existed always.
At all it is optional to argue on threat of cancer to prove that cigarettes destroy our life.
Our bodies are the most perfect objects on the planet, and any smoker at once, from the first inhaling, knows that smoking is destructive.
The only reason for which we are involved in smoking is pressure from friends.
Existing weighty "plus" of smoking only ever was the fact that once it was regarded as absolutely acceptable public habit.
Today it is conventional (and even by smokers) that smoking — an antisocial habit.
In olden days strong people smoked.
If you did not smoke, then considered you the weakling therefore all of us diligently tried to become addicted to smoking.
In each pub or bar most of men is proud inhaled and exhaled clouds of cigarette smoke.
Inside the constant cloud of smoke hung, and ceilings which bleached seldom, always were yellow or brown.
Today the situation cardinally changed, and the strong person does not have need to smoke.
Today strong people do not depend on drugs.
Today, owing to social revolution, all smokers seriously consider refusal of smoking, and smokers in principle regard as weaklings.
The increasing attention to the antisocial party of smoking became the most significant trend which I noted from the moment of an exit of the first edition of this book in 1985.
Times when smoking was proud sign of the experienced lady or cool guy, forever sank into oblivion.
Today everyone knows:
the only reason which people continue to smoke is that their attempt to leave off smoking failed, or they are afraid even to try.
As the smoker is daily condemned by means of the administrative bans or the expanded bans on smoking in public places and he constantly suffers attacks from hypocritical ex-smokers — manners of smokers also change.
Recently I became again the witness of situations which I remember since childhood, but did not see them for many years.
For example, I did not see for a long time that smokers shook ashes in a palm or a pocket as it is awkward to them to ask an ashtray.
A few years ago I was at restaurant.
Time was later, all stopped eating.
At this moment when usually all smoke cigars and cigarettes around, any person in the hall did not smoke.
I self-confidently thought:
"Aha!
It seems, I begin to make an impression".
Having addressed the waiter, I asked whether it is possible to smoke at this restaurant.
The answer was affirmative.
I thought:
"Strange ... I know that many leave off smoking, but there has to be at least one smoker here".
After all, someone in a corner lit, and the flash of sparks which blew over restaurant became result.
Possibly, all other smokers sat and thought:
"Well, I cannot smoke here alone!" Many smokers will not begin to smoke today between dishes as they feel awkwardly.
Many not only apologize to the people sitting with them at one table but also look around to make sure that they will not cause someone's disapproval.
Every day more and more smokers leave the sinking ship and therefore those who remain by it begin to be afraid that they will become the last.
DO NOT ASSUME that it were you!
28.
The choice of time Apart from an obvious hint that now to cease to smoke the most suitable time as smoking does not bring you benefit, I, nevertheless, is convinced that the choice of time is crucial.
Our society trifles of smoking, as of slightly unpleasant habit which can do harm to health.
It's not true.
Smoking — drug addiction, a disease and the murderer "number one".
To become dependent on nicotine — it is awful, but to remain dependent on it all life — even more terribly.
The choice of time for treatment from nicotine addiction has huge value for success.
First of all, determine those moments or events when smoking seems to you absolutely necessary.
If you — the businessman also smoke because of stress relief illusion, choose the period of relative calm, for example, time of annual vacation.
If, as a rule, you smoke with boredom or idleness, proceed from this, having chosen an opposite state.
Anyway treat a problem seriously and make this attempt the most important event in life.
Glance in the future for three weeks ahead and try to foresee any event which can lead to failure.
Such events as wedding or Christmas, should not hold you provided that you expected them long before and therefore you will not feel deprived.
Do not try to reduce meanwhile smoking as it only strengthens illusion about pleasure from a cigarette.
In fact it helps only one:
with a great effort to push whenever possible bigger quantity of any rubbish into the throat.
Smoking the last cigarette, well realize its terrible smell and taste, and think how it will be wonderful when you dare to cease to smoke.
THAT YOU DID, DO NOT COME ACROSS IN THE TRAP AGAIN, TELLING ONESELF:
"NOT NOW.
LATER".
DISMISS THIS THOUGHT.
DEVELOP OWN SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW AND LOOK FORWARD.
You remember:
you do not refuse anything, and are going to make wonderful acquisitions.
For many years I constantly claimed that I know more about the mysteries of smoking, than someone another in the world.
The biggest problem consists in the following:
though each smoker smokes facilitating chemical thirst for nicotine, keeps it in state of dependence not the need for nicotine, but "brainwashing" — result of this dependence.
Even the clever person falls into a trap when abuse his trust.
Fortunately, most of smokers — not fools;
they only consider themselves fools.
How many smokers — are so much methods of "brainwashing".
That is why it seems that there is a set of various types of smokers that only complicates situation.
Relying on experience of long-term correspondence and meetings with smokers which I accumulated from the moment of the first publication of this book, and remembering that I learn new about smoking daily, I was pleasantly surprised, having understood that the philosophy which I offered to discussion in the first edition, still works.
Experience which I gained for the next years concerns how to impart this knowledge to each certain smoker.
My own knowledge of what any smoker can find out that it is easy to leave off smoking and even to derive from this process true pleasure, it does not make any sense if I am not able to give him to the smoker.
Many spoke to me:
"You advise:
"Continue to smoke, you will not read the book yet".
It brings to that, something at the smoker years on reading it leave, or he just does not read up it up to the end.
You should change this instruction".
Sounds logically, but I know that if the instruction followed:
"Leave off smoking immediately", some smokers even would not begin to read.
At the very beginning of my activity to me the smoker with whom I consulted met.
He told:
"Really it is not pleasant to me that I am forced to resort to your help.
I know that I am a person strong-willed.
Everything is in any other area of life at me under control.
Why occurs so what all other smokers manage to leave off smoking, using will power, and I should go to you?" It continued:
"I think that I could throw and itself if it was possible to smoke while I do it".
The similar statement can seem contradictory, but I understand what he meant.
We consider that to leave off smoking — difficult business is impossible.
What do we need if we need to make something difficult?
We need our little girlfriend — a cigarette.
Therefore the refusal of smoking seems "double blow".
Before us not only a difficult task which should be executed:
what we usually leaned in similar situations on, is inaccessible.
Still long time after this man left, did not come to my mind that the instruction to continue to smoke — a highlight of my method.
You can continue to smoke while you overcome process of throwing to smoke.
At first you get rid of all the doubts and fears and when you extinguish that, the last cigarette — you already became non-smoking, and it is pleasant to you.

The only chapter which forced me to call serious in question the initial council is the present chapter devoted to a question of the choice of the correct time.
Above I advised that if for you occasions to smoke a cigarette are stressful situations at office, take a vacation and make attempt to leave off smoking and vice versa.
Actually it is not the easiest way.
The easiest way is to choose what you consider most hard time that to make it, it is unimportant, whether a stress it, or a secular meeting, the moment of concentration or boredom.
As soon as you prove that you can cope with it and derive pleasure from life in the most awful of possible situations — any other situation will become easy.
But if I gave you the similar accurate instruction whether you sometime made an attempt to leave off smoking?
Allow me to draw an analogy.
We with the wife gather to swim for a while.
We come to the pool at the same time, however seldom we swim together.
The reason is that it immerses fingers of legs in water and only half an hour later begins to float.
I cannot take out such slow torture.
I foreknow that irrespective of water temperature in the pool, I, after all, am going to decide to swim for a while.
Therefore I learned to do it in the easiest way:
I dive at once.
Now we will assume that I would begin to insist that if it does not dive at once, then will not be able to float at all.
Are you sure:
she will not begin to swim absolutely.
Now you understand what the problem consists in?
From responses I know that many smokers used my initial council concerning the choice of time;
to postpone that day which, according to them, will become in the terrible afternoon.
Came to my mind further to use the same technique which I applied in chapter devoted to advantages of smoking.
I would write something it seems:
"The choice of time is very important, and in the following chapter I will give to you advice what time can be considered the most suitable and when you have to make an attempt to leave off smoking".
You turn the page, and there only capital letters RIGHT NOW.
It is the best council, but whether you will follow it?
Here in what the most artful feature of a trap of smoking consists.
Stress — the wrong time to cease to smoke, and in the absence of a stress — is not present also desire to throw.
Ask yourself the following questions.
When did you smoke that, very first, a cigarette whether really you decided that you will continue to smoke for the rest of the life, all days of life, every day, without having an opportunity to cease?
— OF COURSE NOT!
Whether you are going to continue to smoke for the rest of the life, all days, every day, without having an opportunity to cease?
— OF COURSE NOT!
So, when you will cease to smoke?
Tomorrow?
Next year?
In a year?
Whether about it you constantly wonder ever since when you for the first time understood that you became addicted to smoking?
Do you really hope that in one wonderful morning you will wake up, and you will have no more desire to smoke?
Stop to fool yourself.
I waited that it happens to me, within thirty three years.
Having got to drug addiction, you are gradually involved more and more, and it is not less.
Do you think, tomorrow it will be easier?
Do not deceive yourself.
If you are not able to make it today what forces you to think that tomorrow it will be easier?
You are going to wait until you actually get one of the diseases conducting by death?
But it is a little senseless ... As the real trap serves the belief that today — not the most suitable time, and will be easier tomorrow.
We believe that we conduct intense life.
Actually it not so.
The heaviest stresses are already endured.
Leaving the house, you do not live in fear that you will be attacked by wild animals.
Most of us should not worry, where to take food next time or where to find a roof over the head this night.
Think of how there lives a wild animal.
Every time, getting out of the mink, the hare risks the same as the soldier in the combat zone.
However the hare manages with these to cope.
Yes, it has adrenaline and other hormones — but we have them too.
The truth is that the most intense periods in life of any being — the childhood and youth.
Three billion years of natural selection prepared us for coping with a stress.
I was five years old when war began.
Our house was destroyed by bombing, and I were it is separated from parents for two years.
I was lodged at people who treated me badly.
It was the unpleasant period of my life, however I could cope with it.
I do not think that it left eternal hems in my soul;
it is rather, he made me stronger.
When I look back at the life, in it there is only one what I could not cope with — slave dependence on damned tobacco.
A few years ago I considered that all "cosmic sadness" fell upon my head.
I was on the brink of suicide — not in the sense that was going to jump off from a roof, and that I knew:
smoking will soon kill me.
I was sure that to continue to live without support — cigarettes — just are not necessary.
I then did not understand yet that when the person is in a condition of physical and intellectual oppression, everything enrages him around and it seems awful.
Now I feel as the boy again.
The only thing that changed in my life — I got out of a nicotinic trap.
I know that expression "If at you is not present health — you have nothing" — a literary stamp, but it is absolutely fair.
Earlier I considered fans of fitness narrow people.
I claimed that in life there are more interesting things, than feeling of cheerfulness, for example, alcohol and tobacco.
All this utter nonsense!
When you feel physically and intellectually strong, you can enjoy rises and cope with falling.
We confuse responsibility and a stress.
Responsibility begins to be followed by a stress only when you do not feel in yourself enough forces that to bear it.
Richarda Bartona [12] of our world are strong and physically and intellectually.
They are destroyed by not vital stresses, not work and not age, and addictions which they consider "support" to which help resort also who, unfortunately, only illusions.
It is sad to understand, as in case of Richard Barton and in millions of other similar cases, such "support" kills.
Let's look at a situation from a different perspective.
You already made the decision that you are not going to remain in a trap for the rest of the natural.
Therefore at some point of life, it is unimportant whether it will be easy or difficult for you, it is necessary to pass through release process.
Smoking — not a habit or pleasure.
It is drug addiction and a disease.
We already established that the statement "will be easier to be left off smoking tomorrow" — far from the truth as eventually it becomes harder and harder to leave off smoking only.
When it comes to a disease which gradually progresses, suitable time to recover — RIGHT NOW (or as soon as possible as far as you will manage it).
Think as days of our life quickly fly by — all also is told these.
Think as it would be exciting to enjoy the joy of life which is not saddened by these ominous shadows of fault and fear.
But if you follow all my instructions, you will not need to wait also for five days.
Having extinguished the last cigarette, you not only will find out that it is easy to leave off smoking:
IT WILL BE PLEASANT TO YOU!
29.
Whether I will miss a cigarette?
No!
As soon as the small nicotinic monster dies and your body will cease to test thirst for nicotine, the remains of "brainwashing" will disappear.
Then you will find, as physically, and are intellectually capable to cope with vital stresses and loadings much better.
Besides:
you will begin to enjoy life to the full extent.
There is only one serious danger — influence of the people continuing to smoke.
"In others yard the grass is always more green" — the known proverb applicable to many parties of our life, and it is quite clear.
Why in case of smoking where minuses are numerous and obvious in comparison with illusory "advantages", the ex-smokers are inclined to envy smokers?
Considering intensity of the process of "brainwashing" begun in the childhood, it is easy to see why we, clearly understanding as far as smoking a thankless job, and having even got rid of this habit, we go straight to the same trap again.
It is influence of smokers.
Usually it happens at parties, especially after meal.
The smoker lights, and the ex-smoker tests a pain attack.
It is surprising anomaly, especially if to take data of researches into account:
everyone non-smoking in the world is happy that it is non-smoking;
each smoker on the planet, the victim of "brainwashing", depends on delusion that smoking is pleasant to it or relaxes him — but also it would never prefer to become dependent too.
So, why some former smokers envy smokers, having got, for example, for birthday?
1.
"Only one cigarette".
You remember:
it is illusion.
Stop to perceive this party as a unique event, look at it from the point of view of the smoker.
Perhaps, you envy it — but and he does not approve himself, envying you.
Begin to watch other smokers;
they can become for you a powerful support which will help you to get out.
Note how cigarettes quickly burn down and as quickly the smoker should get a light following.
Pay special attention to what he not only does not realize that smokes a cigarette, but even gets a light it automatically.

[Admin]

You remember: he does not derive pleasure from smoking — he cannot just derive pleasure without cigarette.
Still keep in mind that he is going to continue to smoke and having left your company.
The next morning, having woken up with feeling that inside it has the real garbage can, it will continue to smother itself(himself) all the same.
The smoker is constantly forced to drag for himself a chain of the dependence:
having felt once again breast pain;
on the next National no tobacco day;
every time, having unintentionally noticed prevention of a health care system on a pack of cigarettes;
next time, when there will be a threat of cancer;
being in church, the subway car, visiting hospital, library, the stomatologist, having come to supermarket;
every time when it appears in the company non-smoking — despite all this, it is forced to continue to pull this life long chain, paying a fantastic sum for doubtful privilege to destroy and despise itself(himself).
For the sake of what it does all this what objective wants to achieve?
Possibly, he hopes to return to the beginning, to that state in which stayed still before became addicted to smoking.
2.
The second reason why some former smokers feel discomfort at parties, is that the smoker is busy with something, does something, that is smokes a cigarette, and non-smoking — no therefore the ex-smoker feels deprived.
Before you begin to throw, firmly acquire:
deprived here — not so non-smoking.
This is the poor smoker who loses much:
HEALTH OF ENERGY OF MONEY OF SELF-CONFIDENCE OF PEACE OF MIND OF COURAGE OF COOLNESS OF FREEDOM OF SELF-ESTEEM.
Throw a habit to envy smokers and begin to see in them unfortunate, pathetic creations which they also are.
I know, I was the worst of them therefore you also read this book.
But those smokers who cannot look to the truth in eyes and are forced to continue to deceive themselves — the most pathetic of all.
Will not you begin to envy the addict who became addicted to heroin?
In our country, heroin kills about 100 people a year, and nicotine — more than 120,000.
Around the world it annually claims the 2, 5 million lives.
Smoking ruined more people on the planet, than all wars in the history of mankind combined.
Your drug addiction will not be more slight, than all other, and every year it will become only it heavier and heavier.
If you do not like to be a smoker today, tomorrow it will be pleasant to you even less.
Do not envy other smokers.
Regret them.
Believe me:
THEY NEED YOUR PITY.
30.
Whether I will gain weight?
It is one more myth about smoking distributed generally those smokers who tried to throw by means of a will power method, replacing nicotine with candies and other to ease to themselves disaccustoming torments.
Torment of disaccustoming from nicotine are very similar to hunger torments therefore these two feelings often confuse.
However torment of hunger can be satisfied with food, and completely it is impossible to remove disaccustoming torments from nicotine.
As well as in case of any other drug, after a while the organism becomes irresponsive to it, and drug ceases to ease disaccustoming torments completely.
As soon as the cigarette is smoked, nicotine quickly leaves our organism therefore the nicotinic addict experiences constant hunger.
The only natural exit — to become, after all, the heavy smoker, that is the smoker smoking one cigarette for another.
However it is difficult for most of smokers to do it for two reasons:
1.
Money — it is too expensive for us to increase intake of nicotine.
2.
Health — to ease disaccustoming torments, we are forced to accept the poison operating as the automatic counter of quantity of cigarettes which we can smoke.
Therefore the smoker lives with feeling of constant hunger which it will never be able to satisfy completely.
That is why many smokers pass to gluttony, alcoholism or even switch to stronger drugs to satisfy the hunger.
(MOST OF ALCOHOLICS — HEAVY SMOKERS.
INTERESTINGLY, MAYBE, AND THIS PROBLEM — SMOKING PROBLEM)?
For the smoker the aspiration to replace nicotine with food becomes a natural exit.
For many dreadful years I reached that stage when completely refused a breakfast and a lunch.
During the day I constantly smoked.
Later I began to look forward to evenings — only because in the evenings could cease to smother itself.
However all evening I constantly chewed.
I considered that it is hunger, and in fact it were torment of disaccustoming from nicotine.
In other words, during the day I replaced food with nicotine, and in the evenings — substituted nicotine for food.
Those days I weighed 12 kg more, than now, and could do nothing with it.
As soon as the small monster leaves your body, also the terrible feeling of vulnerability vanishes.
Your self-confidence together with surprising feeling of self-esteem is restored.
You gain confidence that you control the life, not only in eating habits, but also in all the rest.
It is one more huge advantage of disposal of tobacco.
As I already spoke, the myth about excess weight exists thanks to substitutes during the disaccustoming period.
In fact they do not facilitate process of refusal of smoking.
More likely, they complicate it.
In more detail this statement will be explained below, in chapter devoted to nicotine substitutes.
31.
Avoid false incentives Trying to leave off smoking by means of a will power method, many smokers try to increase motivation, putting forward false incentives.
Here several examples of such incentives.
"On that money which I will save we all family will be able to spend a wonderful vacation".
Similar approach seems logical and sensible, but unfortunately wrong as any smoker respecting himself will prefer to smoke 52 weeks in a year and not to take a vacation.
Anyway, internally the smoker doubts and not only because he should abstain from smoking within 52 weeks.
He is not confident and that he will be able to derive pleasure from the vacation spent without cigarettes.
Similar approach leads only to what does the sacrifice which as it seems to it, is made by the smoker, to more considerable.
And it, in turn, increases cigarette value in its representation.
And all this instead of focusing on other side of the problem:
"What do I receive from smoking?
Why do I need to smoke?" One more example:
"I will be able to dare to buy a new car".
Yes, it is the truth, the similar incentive can force you to abstain from smoking until you buy a car.
But as soon as the feeling of novelty passes, you begin to think that you were deprived therefore sooner or later you come across in the same trap again.
The agreement to leave off smoking, concluded with colleagues at work or family members is other typical example.
Such agreements usually have an advantage:
they eliminate temptation for some time during the day.
Nevertheless, they too usually come to an end with failure owing to the following reasons.
1.
"False incentive".
Why you have to leave off smoking only because throw others?
The similar incentive only strengthens feeling of relevancy of the sacrifice made by you.
It is fine if all smokers sincerely want to cease to smoke once.
However you will not be able violently to force them to throw though all of them secretly also want it.
While they are not ready to leave off smoking, similar agreements will only give additional value to cigarettes and to strengthen desire to smoke.
Similar agreements turn their participants into secret smokers that strengthens feeling of dependence even more.
2.
Theory of "black sheep", or "mutual responsibility".
According to a will power method the payment period during which he constantly waits that desire to smoke will disappear is necessary to the smoker.
If he gives up, then the feeling of the failure which comprehended it comes.
According to this method sooner or later one of participants of the agreement is obliged to give up.
Then other participants receive an excuse for which they so long waited.
It is not their wine ... They would sustain ... It is because of John they lowered hands ... The truth is that most of them already secretly violated the agreement.
3.
"Division of responsibility" — an incentive, opposite theories of "black sheep".
Here the fear to lose face in case of failure is not so terrible as it is shared with others.
Leaving off smoking, the smoker has a surprising feeling of a huge victory.
When you leave off smoking alone, in the first few days admiration of your friends, relatives and colleagues can serve as great support.
When at the same time leave off smoking several people, responsibility shares equally and, respectively, also admiration decreases.
Other classical example of false incentives — so-called "bribe" (for example when the parent promises to the teenager a certain sum of money for refusal of smoking or offers a bet:
"I will give you 100 pounds sterling if I lose").
Once in one of TV programs the following example was given.
The police officer trying to leave off smoking put the twenty-pound banknote in a pack of cigarettes.
He concluded the agreement with himself:
he can light again, but before he should burn this note.
It helped it not to smoke within several days, but eventually it nevertheless burned these twenty pounds.
Stop to deceive yourself.
If the smoker is not stopped 50.
000 pounds sterling which the average smoker spends for all life for cigarettes, the risk of dreadful diseases which is one to two neither life with fetid breath nor sincere and physical suffering, neither slave dependence, nor contempt from the most part of society and a low self-assessment — hardly false incentives will be able any to change a situation.
They can take to one — to aggravate feeling of a sacrifice.
You look at the opposite side of the drawn rope.

What gives me smoking?
ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING.
Why I need to smoke?
YOU HAVE NO NEED TO SMOKE!
SMOKING YOU PUNISH YOURSELF.
32.
Easy way to leave off smoking. This head contains the instructions concerning an easy way to leave off smoking.
Following them, you will find out that the refusal of smoking can become not only easy, but also pleasant!
But do not forget about recommendations.
(You remember a joke: "The brunette is a girl who incorrectly read the instruction on a tube with hair-dye")?
To leave off smoking ridiculously simply.
You need to make only two things:
1.
Make the decision that you will nevermore smoke.
2.
Be not depressed about it.
Be happy!
Possibly, you ask a question:
"Why then in general was to write the whole book?
Why you could not tell it from the very beginning?" Could, but then you would become despondent, and as a result, sooner or later would change the decision.
Perhaps, quite so you also arrived already many times.
As I already many times spoke, all tobacco business — an artful, ominous trap.
The main problem in refusal of smoking consists not in chemical dependence, and in "brainwashing" therefore at first it is necessary to dispel all myths and delusions.
Understand the enemy, learn his tactics:
then you with ease gain a victory.
I carried out the most part of life in attempts to leave off smoking, enduring weeks of a terrible depression.
When I at last left off smoking, passed from hundred cigarettes a day to their total absence without the slightest negative consequences.
Even during disaccustoming from smoking I felt perfectly, and since then never felt any discomfort.
On the contrary, this most wonderful that occurred in my life.
I could not understand why it was so easy to leave off smoking, and at me a lot of time left to understand it.
The reason consisted in the following:
I knew for sure that I will never smoke again.
During the previous attempts, is kind of resolute I it was ready, I tried to leave off smoking, hoping that if I manage to hold on long enough without cigarette, then desire to smoke will disappear.
Naturally, it did not disappear as I waited that just about something will occur.
The more I became despondent about it, the more wanted to smoke therefore the thirst for smoking never passed.
My last attempt was absolutely another.
As well as all smokers today, I seriously reflected over this problem.
Every time, having failed, I consoled myself in a thought that will be easier to be left off smoking next time.
Never came to my mind that, working in this way, I doom myself to smoke for the rest of the life.
This thought filled me with horror and made think of a problem seriously.
Instead of unconsciously beginning to smoke a cigarette, I began to analyze the feelings in the course of smoking.
And this observation confirmed what I already knew:
I do not like to smoke, and the cigarette — is incredibly disgusting.
I began to watch non-smoking.
Earlier I always considered them weak, unsociable, pedantic people.
However when I looked narrowly at them, they seemed to me much stronger and more freely.
They were the people capable to cope with vital stresses and loadings, and an impression was made that they derive much more pleasure from communication, than smokers.
I began to communicate with the former smokers.
Until I considered that ex-smokers are people who were violently forced to leave off smoking because of problems with health and money, and secretly they continue to have passionate desire to smoke.
Several people told:
"Yes, sometimes you test attacks of painful desire, but they such frivolous also happen so seldom that to you it is not necessary and to worry about them".
But the majority told the following:
"I miss smoking?
Yes you, has to be, you joke.
Never in life I felt better".
Conversations with the former smokers discredited one more myth which was constantly turning at me in the head.
I always thought that I have a certain congenital weakness of character, and suddenly dawned on me that through this secret nightmare there pass all smokers.
I told myself:
"Today millions of people leave off smoking and conduct absolutely happy life.
I had no need to smoke until I began, and well remember that I had to work fairly to get used to disgusting taste of cigarettes.
Why do I need to smoke now?" Anyway, smoking obviously was not pleasant to me.
I hated all this disgusting ritual and did not want to carry out the remained life, being a slave to disgusting tobacco.
Then I told myself:
"Allen, YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, BUT YOU SMOKED the LAST CIGARETTE".
And at that moment I knew for sure that I will never light again.
I did not expect at all that it will be easy for me.
I was sure absolutely that I am waited by months of a heavy depression and that I will spend the life rest, periodically suffering.
But the refusal of smoking from the very beginning became for me absolute happiness.
At me a lot of time for finding out why it was so easy to leave off smoking and why this time I did not suffer from awful torments of the period of disaccustoming left.
Now I know the reason:
these torments just do not exist, they are generated by doubts and uncertainty.
The truth is in what it is EASY to LEAVE OFF SMOKING.
Process is complicated only by indecision and suppressed mood.
During certain periods of life even heavy smokers can live long enough, without worrying about cigarettes.
You suffer only when to you forbid to smoke.
Key to easy refusal of smoking — in your confidence in finality of the made decision — to refuse smoking.
It is necessary not to hope, and know that you already left off smoking, having made such decision.
Never call it in question.
You have to arrive on the contrary:
always enjoy it.
I assure you that it is easy to leave off smoking.
But how you can be sure of what you do not know?
Therefore you should read a final part of this book — yourself needs to understand some important points accurately before you start achievement of the goal.
Realize that you can achieve the objective.
You differ in nothing from others therefore the only person who can force you to smoke the following cigarette — you are.
1.
There is nothing to throw, in effect.
On the contrary, you will gain invaluable advantages.
I mean not only the fact that you will become healthier and richer:
you will derive more pleasure from joyful minutes of life and it is easier to cope with grief.
2.
Accurately understand that there is no such concept as "only one cigarette".
Smoking is a drug addiction and chain reaction.
Secretly dreaming and grieving about an accidental cigarette, you will only punish yourself though in it and there is no need.
3.
Look at smoking not as on a public habit which can do you harm and as drug addiction.
Whether you like it or not, but YOU — are SICK.
The disease will not pass if just to hide the head in sand.
You remember:
as well as all serious illness, your disease not only chronic (that is lasting all life), but also progressing.
Right moment for treatment of your disease — right now.
4.
Separate a disease (that is chemical dependence) from a condition of mind of the smoker or non-smoking.
If to give the chance to smokers to return when they did not become addicted to nicotine yet, they with pleasure would grasp at this offer.
Today you have this opportunity!
Even do not think of it as about "refusal" of smoking.
Having made the final decision that already smoked the last cigarette, you at once will become non-smoking.
The smoker — one of that unfortunate who is forced to go on life, ruining the health nicotine.
Non-smoking — that who has no such need.
As soon as you make the final decision, will at once achieve the objectives.
Enjoy it.
You should not sit sadly, expecting when there passes the chemical dependence.
Leave off smoking and at once begin to enjoy life.
Life is delightful even then when you are dependent on nicotine and when you do not have this dependence, it will become day after day it finer and finer.
Key to making refusal of smoking easy — confidence that you will achieve success and completely refrain from smoking during the disaccustoming period (at most three weeks).
If you correctly are adjusted, then will find out what to leave off smoking ridiculously simply.
If you opened the mind as I asked right at the beginning, then by this moment already had to come to the conclusion that you are going to cease to smoke.
Now you feel impatience as the dog pulling a lead;
you cannot wait any more to begin to bring poison out of an organism.

If you feel despondency and the future sees to you in gloomy light, it can speak the following reasons:
1.
You did not acquire any important point.
Re-read five points given above, and wonder whether you believe that they are fair.
If you doubt any of them, re-read appropriate sections of the book.
2.
You are afraid of the failure.
Do not worry.
Just continue to read.
You will achieve success.
Smoking reminds a large-scale fraudulent trick, and only the fool, having opened cheating once, will begin to continue to deceive itself.
3.
You agree with everything told, but all the same feel unfortunate.
No, thank you!
Open eyes.
There is something wonderful.
You just about make escape from prison.
It is important to begin to leave off smoking in the correct spirit:
as it is wonderful that I am non-smoking!
Everything that we need to do now — to support in ourselves this spirit during the disaccustoming period, and the following several chapters will be devoted to special receptions which will help you to keep it.
Upon termination of the disaccustoming period you should not think in this way specially any more, it will become for you absolutely natural.
The regret will become the only thought saddening your life:
"Same it is so obvious!
Why I did not understand it earlier?" Nevertheless, allow to make two important cautions.
1.
Postpone the plan to smoke the last cigarette until you read all book.
2.
Several times I mentioned that the period of disaccustoming lasts up to three weeks.
This statement can cause the wrong representation.
First, subconsciously you will feel that three weeks you should suffer.
No, it is not necessary.
Secondly, avoid a trap which traps those who think:
"Somehow I will hold on three weeks, and then I will be released".
In fact in three weeks nothing will occur.
You will not feel suddenly that you became non-smoking.
Non-smoking, in comparison with smokers, anything special is not felt.
If you suffer because of refusal of smoking within these three weeks, most likely after this term you and will remain are depressed.
I say that if you can tell yourself right now:
"I will never smoke again.
Well, whether it is wonderful?", in three weeks to smoke temptation will pass.
But if you tell:
"To me only to hold on without cigarettes three weeks", and after these three weeks you will continue to die of desire to smoke a cigarette all the same.
33.
The disaccustoming period Up to three weeks after smoking of the last cigarette you can suffer so-called "torments of disaccustoming".
They consist of two absolutely different factors.
1.
Discomfort of disaccustoming from nicotine, the feeling of emptiness and uncertainty reminding hunger — feeling which smokers determine as thirst for cigarettes or desire by something to occupy hands.
2.
The psychological trigger (certain events or actions, for example, the phone call or end of food causing habitual desire to smoke).
The inability to understand and carry out differences between these two by factors far from each other strongly complicates to smokers achievement of success when using a method of will power.
Misunderstanding also is that reason for which many smokers who manage to achieve the objective get to a trap again.
Though torment of disaccustoming from nicotine do not cause physical pain, you should not underestimate forces of their action.
We speak about "hunger attacks" if we spend the whole day without food;
at you can "hum in a stomach", but physical pains are absent.
But even in this case hunger — powerful force, and most likely we will become very irritable if to deprive of us food.
Something similar occurs and when our organism tests thirst for nicotine.
The distinction is that food is necessary for our body, and the poison does not therefore at the correct spirit of torment of disaccustoming it is easy to overcome, and they disappear very quickly.
If smokers manage by method of will power to refrain from smoking within several days, then soon the thirst for nicotine disappears.
It is the second factor generating difficulties.
The smoker got a habit to remove torment of disaccustoming at certain moments or in certain cases that generates "association of images" ("I will not be able to derive pleasure from binge without cigarette").
Perhaps, the similar effect will be easier to be understood by means of an example.
Within several years you had a car in which the index of turn is located to the left of a steering column.
It is in your new car on the right.
You know that you it on the right, but during few weeks every time when you want to include the index of turn, will include "janitors".
The refusal of smoking reminds something similar.
At the beginning of the disaccustoming period at certain moments the psychological trigger of smoking will work.
You will begin to think:
"I want a cigarette".
If you from the very beginning resist to "brainwashing", such mechanical reactions will quickly disappear.
According to a will power method the smoker believes that he makes a sacrifice.
Because of this consciousness it spoils mood, and he constantly waits when there passes passionate desire to smoke.
As a result it only strengthens operation of psychological triggers instead of getting rid of them.
The widespread trigger of smoking — meal, especially during the meeting with friends at restaurant and so on.
The former smoker already feels unfortunate as it is deprived of the cigarette.
When his friends light, the feeling of deprivation amplifies.
Now he does not derive any pleasure neither from a dinner, nor from what had to become a pleasant meeting of friends.
At association of a cigarette with meal and communication, desire to smoke, as well as his sufferings, treble.
At the same time also extent of "brainwashing" amplifies.
If he is unshakable and will be able to hold on long enough, then eventually will make the choice and will succeed in life.
However impact of "brainwashing" partially remains and therefore the smoker who left off smoking because of care of health or of the finance even in several years continues to test passionate thirst for cigarettes in certain cases.
He suffers because of the illusion existing only in his imagination and tortures himself for no reason at all.
Even in my method most often failures are connected with the fact that the smoker gives in to operation of psychological triggers.
The ex-smoker is inclined to regard a cigarette as a peculiar placebo or a consolatory sweet pill.
He thinks:
"I know that the cigarette gives nothing to me.
But if I do not think of it, then at certain moments it will be able to help me".
The sweet pill, though does not render any notable physical help, nevertheless can become the strong psychological means allowing to remove real symptoms and, thus, to bring benefit.
However a cigarette — not a sweet pill.
It generates those symptoms which removes, and after a while ceases to do also it;
r.
e.
in this case "pill" generates a disease not to mention that it also appears poison — the murderer "room one" in society.
Perhaps, it will be easier for you to understand this effect on the example of non-smoking or the smoker who was "getting stuck" a few years ago.
Take a case with the woman who lost the husband.
At such moments quite naturally for the best to tell the smoker:
"Take a cigarette.
She will help you to get it together".
If the cigarette is accepted, it will not have the calming effect:
this woman has no dependence on nicotine and, respectively, there are no disaccustoming torments from it which need to be facilitated.
The only thing that the cigarette can make — to give momentary psychological support.
The cigarette is smoked, but the terrible tragedy did not get to anywhere.
It was only aggravated as now the woman will suffer also from the shortage of nicotine.
It has a choice:
to endure nicotinic hunger or to facilitate it, having smoked the following cigarette, but to lay for these the foundation dependences.
So, everything that will be made by a cigarette — will give short-term psychological support.
But the same result could achieve, having expressed condolences or having suggested to drink.
Many non-smoking and former smokers gained dependence on tobacco as a result of similar cases.
It is important to resist to "brainwashing" from the very beginning.
You remember:
you do not need a cigarette, you only torture yourself, continuing to consider it a peculiar form of support or a support.
There is no need to be unfortunate.
Tobacco does not improve a lunch or a meeting of friends;
it is rather, it destroys them.
Do not forget:
smokers at meal time smoke not because derive pleasure from smoking.
They smoke because are forced.
They are addicts.
They cannot enjoy either food, or life without cigarettes.
Refuse the idea that the habit is pleasant to smoke in itself.

Many smokers think:
"If there were only cigarettes, clean from nicotine".
Such cigarettes exist.
Any smoker trying grass cigarettes soon comes to opinion that it is waste of time.
Understand that the only reason which you smoke consists in receiving nicotine.
As soon as you get rid of thirst for it, all will be equal to you where to put a cigarette — in a mouth or in an ear.
No matter, whether sufferings are caused by real-life symptoms of disaccustoming or the psychological mechanism of smoking, reconcile with discomfort.
You have no physical pain, and at the correct spirit the arising desire should not smoke to become a problem.
Do not worry about the disaccustoming period, this experience in itself is not so terrible.
Do not sob about it, tell yourself better:
"I know, what is it.
It is torment of disaccustoming from nicotine.
That is why smokers suffer all life, here that forces them to smoke!
Non-smoking nothing similar is tested.
Now I observe one more destructive property of this drug.
What happiness that I clean the organism from this evil!" Yes, in the first three weeks you will feel a small corporal indisposition, but also during this time and during all remained life there will be something remarkable — you will recover from a terrible disease.
The similar reward much more will move feeling of slight discomfort, and you will even derive pleasure, weaning from nicotine.
This time will become for you joyful.
Present everything that is connected with smoking, in the form of a fascinating game.
Present that the nicotinic monster is the worm who lodged in your organism.
Within three weeks you should starve him, and he will try to force you to begin to smoke deception a cigarette to keep to itself(himself) life.
From time to time he will try to force you to feel unfortunate.
From time to time you will lose care.
Somebody can offer you a cigarette, and you — will forget that you left off smoking.
When you remember it, there will be a slight feeling that you something are deprived.
In advance be prepared for similar traps.
Accurately understand:
the temptation exists only because in your body the monster, and every time when you do not give in to temptation sits, you strike to the enemy one more mortal blow in this fight.
What you did, do not try to forget about smoking.
It is one of those moments which cause hours-long depressions of the smokers who are leaving off smoking by a will power method.
They live in hope that eventually will simply forget about smoking.
Remember that occurs when you have insomnia?
The more you think of it, the it becomes more difficult to fall asleep.
Anyway you will not be able to get rid of smoking.
During the first several days "the small monster" will constantly remind of it, and you will not manage to avoid it;
while around there are smokers and advertizing of cigarettes, you will be constantly reminded of smoking.
But you have no need to forget about it.
Nothing terrible happened, it is rather on the contrary:
there is something remarkable.
Even if you think of smoking one thousand times in the course of the day, ENJOY EVERY MOMENT.
REMIND YOURSELF AS IT IS WONDERFUL TO BECOME FREE AGAIN.
BE HAPPY THAT YOU SHOULD NOT SMOTHER YOURSELF ANY MORE.
As I already spoke, you will find out that the discomfort will become the pleasure moment, and will be surprised how you will quickly forget about smoking.
What you did — DO NOT DOUBT the DECISION.
Having begun to call it in question, you will begin to become despondent, and it will only be worse.
Use better such moment as support.
If the reason of doubts — a depression, remind yourself that it was generated by nicotine.
If the friend suggests to light to you, with pride answer:
"You know, I am happy to tell you that I do not need cigarettes any more".
Your words will offend him, but having seen that the refusal of smoking absolutely does not disturb you, he already half will agree to join you.
You remember the main thing:
you have very good reasons to leave off smoking.
Remind yourself of that huge sum of money which to you will be cost by one cigarette, and wonder whether really you want to be exposed to risk to get terrible diseases.
And, of course, do not forget that this feeling — temporary, and every minute you become one minute closer to the purpose.
Some smokers are afraid that they should carry out the remained life in fight against "psychological triggers".
In other words, they consider that it is necessary to be engaged all life in self-deception, inspiring in themselves that cigarettes are not necessary to them.
It's not true.
Remember that the optimist sees half a full bottle, and the pessimist — half I am empty.
In a case with smoking the bottle is empty, and the smoker sees that it is full.
But the smoker underwent "brainwashing".
Need to remind itself that you have no need to smoke, will disappear pretty fast:
you will see that you really have no such need.
(Perhaps, this last that from you is required in this story.
But agree that it not the latest matter in your life).
34.
Only one inhaling Is death of many smokers trying to give up smoking according to a will power method.
They manage to live three or four days, and then they smoke an accidental cigarette or do one inhaling to hold on.
They do not realize devastating effect which such acts have on their state of mind.
For most of smokers taste of the first inhaling — opposite, and they think:
"Great.
It is not pleasant at all.
It seems, at me there passes passionate desire to smoke".
But there really is something opposite.
Accurately understand — CIGARETTES NEVER GIVE PLEASURES.
Receiving pleasure — at all not that reason because of which you smoked.
If smokers smoked just for the hell of it, they would never smoke more than one cigarette.
The aspiration to feed a nicotinic monster was the only reason which you smoked.
Only think:
you starved him within four days.
What valuable to it had to become this cigarette or even only one inhaling!
Sensible mind you do not realize it, but information on a dose which will be obtained by your body will go to subconsciousness, and all your thorough training will fail.
In the depth of your consciousness the thin voice which will repeat will be heard:
"Whatever the logic, cigarettes — a valuable thing spoke.
I want one more".
This "one and only" inhaling has two harmful effect:
1.
It supports life of the small nicotinic monster living in your belly.
2.
It, what is even worse, keeps life to the big monster living in your mind.
If you made this, "only one inhaling" — it will be even easier to make following.
You remember:
"only one cigarette" — quite so people also break at the very beginning of attempt to leave off smoking.
35.
Whether it will be difficult for me?
There is an infinite set of combinations of the factors defining how easy will be refusal of smoking for each certain smoker:
at each of us the character, work, personal circumstances, the choice of time and so on.
To representatives of certain professions to leave off smoking can be more difficult, than to others, but so should not be — provided that "brainwashing" is eliminated.
Several examples will help to deal with it to us.
There is an impression that it is especially difficult for representatives of medical professions to leave off smoking.
We think that it has to be easier for doctors as they know about influence of this disease and daily face proofs of this influence.
Though this fact also adds telling arguments to desire to leave off smoking, it does not facilitate a task at all.
The reasons of it are in the following.
1.
The constant awareness on threat for health creates fear, becoming one of circumstances under which we should ease the disaccustoming torments suffered by us.
2.
Work of the doctor is accompanied by huge tension, and, as a rule, he is not able to reduce the additional stress connected with disaccustoming torments in operating time.
3.
The doctor has an additional stress in the form of sense of guilt.
He feels that he has to be an example for the others.
It puts a bigger pressure upon it and strengthens the feeling of deprivation which had by it.
During the breaks in smoking earned heavy by work, the cigarette instantly reduces habitual stress, getting huge value:
she, at last, eases disaccustoming torments.
It is one of forms of irregular smoking applicable to any situation in which the smoker is forced to abstain from smoking during the long periods of time.
According to a will power method he feels unfortunate as it is deprived of cigarettes.
The smoker does not derive pleasure neither from a break for rest, nor from a cup of tea or coffee by which it is followed.
Therefore the feeling of loss repeatedly amplifies and, on communication of associations, the cigarette begins to operate all situation in general.
However if at first you manage to remove results of "brainwashing" and to cease to dream of a cigarette, you will derive pleasure from rest and a cup of tea even then when your organism still tests passionate thirst for nicotine.
The boredom, especially in combination with the stress periods becomes other problem.
Drivers or housewives with small children are a typical example.
Their work demands tension, besides its most part — is monotonous.
During their attempts to leave off smoking according to a will power method at them there are long periods of time during which they indulge in despondency because of "loss", strengthening thereby feeling of the experienced deprivations.
But, as you already know, it is easy to endure a similar situation if you are correctly ready.
Do not worry that constantly remind you of what you left off smoking.
Use the similar moments once again to be glad to the disposal of an evil monster.
If you were correctly adjusted, then this discomfort will turn for you for pleasure.

You remember: any smoker, irrespective of age, sex, intelligence or a profession, can find how it is easy and pleasant to leave off smoking provided that YOU FOLLOW ALL RECOMMENDATIONS.
36.
The main reasons for failures Can be allocated two main reasons for failures.
The first reason — influence of other smokers.
Can happen so that at the moment of your weakness somebody will light nearby.
I already stopped on this subject in detail.
Use the similar moment for a reminder to yourself that such concept as "only one cigarette" does not exist.
Be glad to the fact that could break off a chain.
Remember that the smoker envies you, and feel sorry for him.
Believe me, it needs your compassion.
Other most frequent reason of failure — unsuccessful day.
Before leaving off smoking, accurately understand to yourself that "good" and "bad" days happen to all irrespective of, the smoker you or non-smoking.
In life everything is relative, and you will not be able to endure only take-off, without falling.
The problem of refusal of smoking according to method of will power is that as soon as for the smoker the unlucky day comes, he begins to grieve about a cigarette, trying to obtain these only that "bad" day becomes even worse.
Non-smoking not only physically, but also is psychologically best of all adapted to cope with stresses and vital loadings.
If during the disaccustoming period at you unlucky day comes — just do not lose courage.
Remind yourself that unlucky days happened at you and when you smoked (otherwise you would not decide to leave off smoking).
Instead of groaning about it, tell yourself:
"All right, today not such good day, however smoking of it you will not correct.
Tomorrow it will be better, and for today, at least, I have a surprising advantage.
I got rid of the awful habit to smoke".
When you — the smoker, you are forced to block the mind from thoughts of dark sides of smoking.
Smokers never have "a cough of smokers", and only constant cold.
When your car unexpectedly breaks at the end of the world, you begin to smoke a cigarette, but whether you at the same time become joyful and happy?
Of course, no.
As soon as you cease to smoke, you will see the reason of all vital troubles in what was left off smoking.
Now, if you break the car, you will think:
"In this case I precisely would light a cigarette".
It is the truth, but you forget that the cigarette does not solve a problem.
Grieving about an illusory support, you only punish yourself.
You create an unsolvable situation:
you are unfortunate because you cannot light, but will become more unfortunate if light.
You know that you made the correct decision, having left off smoking therefore never punish yourself, calling it in question.
You remember:
positive psychological approach is always especially important.
37.
Substitutes Substitutes include chewing gum, candies, mint lollipops, grass cigarettes and pills.
DO NOT USE ANY SUBSTITUTES.
They only complicate process, but do not facilitate it.
If you are overtaken by sufferings, and you use substitute, it only prolongs torments and strengthens them.
Actually you tell yourselves:
"I need to smoke or fill emptiness".
It is all the same what to be given to robbers or to concede before tantrum at the child.
It will only prolong emergence of attacks of discomfort and torture of itself.
Anyway, substitutes will not ease disaccustoming torments.
You test thirst for nicotine, but not to food.
Substitutes can only force you to continue to think of smoking.
You remember the next moments:
1.
Substitutes of nicotine do not exist.
2.
You do not need nicotine.
It is not food, and poison.
When you are overtaken by a discomfort attack, remind yourself that only smokers suffer from torments of disaccustoming.
Consider these torments one more evil of drug.
Present that torment of disaccustoming are an agony of a nicotinic monster.
3.
You remember:
cigarettes create emptiness, but do not fill it.
The quicker you will understand that you have no need to smoke or do chtonibud still instead, that will become free rather.
In particular avoid any products containing nicotine it is unimportant whether chewing it is an elastic band, a plaster, spray or the latest gimmick — the inhaler reminding a plastic cigarette.
Yes, it is valid, a small part of the smokers trying to leave off smoking by means of nicotine substitutes succeeded in the undertaking, and now attribute the achievements to their use.
However they left off smoking contrary to use of substitutes, and not thanks to them at all.
Upsets that many doctors continue to recommend treatment by a nicotine replacement method.
There is no wonder:
if you up to the end do not understand essence of a nicotinic trap, the method of replacement of nicotine looks rather convincing.
It is based on belief that when you make an attempt to leave off smoking, you have two strong enemies whom you should overcome:
1.
Habit which needs to be broken.
2.
Torment of disaccustoming from nicotine which need to be sustained.
If you need to defeat two strong opponents, then it is more reasonable to battle against them not at the same time, and in turn.
Therefore, having left off smoking, you at first accept some substitute of nicotine.
When the habit to smoke is broken, gradually begin to reduce also intake of nicotine, that is fight with each enemy separately.
Sounds quite reasonably, but this method, unfortunately, is based on a false parcel.
Smoking — not a habit, but drug addiction.
The physical pain caused by disaccustoming from nicotine is almost imperceptible.
Leaving off smoking, you seek to kill at the same time and the small nicotinic monster living in a body and the big monster staying at you in mind.
The method of replacement of nicotine prolongs life of a small monster which, in turn, prolongs life of the big monster.
Remember that "The easy way" allows to leave off smoking at once.
You kill a big monster ("brainwashing") still before smoke the last cigarette.
Also the small monster will soon die, but it will not become for you a bigger problem, than it was in your stay as the smoker, even so far the monster will die.
Think whether it is possible to cure the addict of drug addiction, recommending to it to take the same drug?
One famous and dear doctor said on national television once that some smokers so strongly depend on nicotine that if they leave off smoking, they should accept all life its substitutes.
How could this doctor allow to confuse so himself to believe that the human body can depend not only on receipt of food, water and oxygen, but also from strong poison?
Our clinics are often visited by the smokers who managed to leave off smoking, but became dependent on nicotinic chewing gum.
Others became addicted to it, continuing to smoke.
And let the fact that the taste of nicotinic chewing gum is disgusting will not fool you — the first cigarette had just the same taste also.
All substitutes are rendered by the same effect, as nicotinic chewing gum:
"I cannot smoke a cigarette therefore I will take chewing gum or mint lollipop to fill emptiness".
Though to distinguish the feeling of emptiness generated by desire to smoke a cigarette from feeling of hunger it is impossible, it is impossible to satisfy one hunger, satisfying another.
It turns out that tamping of a belly chewing gum or mint lollipops is intended to force you to desire a cigarette.
But the main evil of substitutes is that they prolong existence of the main problem, that is "brainwashing".
Whether flu substitute when it passes is necessary to you?
Of course, no.
Your words "I Need Smoking Substitute" actually mean:
"I make a huge sacrifice".
The depression accompanying a will power method is caused by the fact that the smoker is convinced that he makes a sacrifice.
You just substitute one problem another.
There is no joy in absorption of candies, you will only become fat and unfortunate, and then again will return to tobacco through very short time.
It is difficult for irregular smokers to leave belief that them violently deprive of a small award:
cigarettes during a lunch break in office or at factory where it is forbidden to smoke in operating time, or rest of teachers in a teacher's room between lessons, or a fast smoke break of doctors between receptions of patients.
Some say:
"If I did not smoke, I would not begin to take a break at all".
It only confirms that quite often a break is taken not because the smoker needs it or just wants to have a rest but because it is consumed by desperate desire to scratch the itching place.
You remember:
cigarettes were never the real award.

[Admin]

Remember an example about close shoes which I already gave.
If such award is necessary for you, it is necessary to wear shoes one size smaller in operating time, than you carry usually, but not to dare to take off them, there will not come break time yet, and then, having removed, to test a wonderful moment of a relaxation and satisfaction.
Silly?
You are absolutely right.
But it in what all smokers are engaged though and it is difficult to see it while you are in a trap.
It is even more difficult to imagine that soon you will not be needs this small "award" any more, and you will begin to treat the friends who are still staying in a trap with genuine pity, being perplexed why they do not understand it.
However if you continue to deceive yourself, considering that the cigarette was for you the real award or that you need to replace with something it, you will feel deprived and unfortunate, and, most likely, again light.
If — to housewives, teachers, doctors and representatives of other professions — the break for rest is really necessary for you, then you will soon derive from it bigger pleasure, than earlier as you will have no need to smother itself.
You remember:
you do not need substitutes.
Your sufferings are a passionate thirst for poison which soon will pass.
Let this thought support you during the next several days.
Enjoy clarification of an organism from poison, and the mind — from slavery and dependence.
If you begin to eat more because you will improve appetite, and during the next several days will gather an extra kilo, do not worry about it.
When there comes "moment of truth" which I will describe later, you will find confidence in the forces and conviction that are capable to solve any problem which can be solved by means of positive thinking, including also eating habits.
However what you cannot do, so it to begin to be enough pieces between meals.
If you begin "to pick", then will really grow fat and will become unfortunate, without having learned when you got rid of addiction to tobacco:
you do not solve a problem, and replace it with another.
38.
Should I avoid temptation?
Still I was categorical in recommendations and asked you to treat my councils rather as to instructions than as wishes.
I am categorical as all my councils are constructed by the strong practical reasons and are supported with studying a set of separate cases.
Unfortunately, I cannot be so categorical in a question of avoiding of temptations during the disaccustoming period.
Each smoker should make the decision independently.
However I can state recommendations which I, dare to hope, will be useful to you.
I will remind that the fear forces us to smoke throughout all life.
Fear which consists of two phases.
How will I be able to live without cigarettes?
This fear reminds the panic felt by the smoker when he late did not come back home at night yet, and cigarettes already on an outcome.
This fear is caused not by torments of disaccustoming, it is psychological fear of dependence:
you are afraid that you will not be able to survive without cigarettes.
It reaches the peak when you smoke the last cigarette.
This fear — fear of uncertainty, that its version which is tested by people when they learn to dive.
Tower height for a diving of only 30 cm, and seems — all 1, 80.
Water depth — 1, 80 m, and seems — only 30 cm.
To jump, courage is necessary:
you are convinced that you will hurt the head.
If you find in yourself courage to jump, then all the rest — is easy.
It explains why the smokers showing strong will in all that does not concern smoking, never tried to leave off smoking or, having thrown, some hours could hold on.
There are smokers smoking about twenty cigarettes which make the decision to leave off smoking a day, but begin to smoke the following cigarette much quicker than if did not make such decision.
It generates panic which causes a stress:
the brain instructs to light and you cannot make it.
You feel unfortunate, and — again a stress.
The instruction is given again, there is a short circuit ... you light.
Do not worry.
This panic — psychological state, fear of dependence.
But in fact you are not dependent even if still you are in drug addiction from nicotine.
Do not panic.
Trust in me — and jump.
The smoker goes through the second stage of fear longer.
It concerns fear of the fact that without cigarette you will not manage to derive pleasure from certain situations, or fears that without cigarette you will not be able to cope with some troubles.
Do not worry.
If you are able to jump, you learn that everything is exactly the opposite.
There are two main types of behavior in attempt to avoid temptations.
"I will hold cigarettes available, though I will not begin to smoke.
I feel more surely when I know that they with me".
I found out that the percent of failures among the people arriving in this way is much higher, than at those who get rid of cigarettes.
I believe that it, is generally connected that if during the disaccustoming period at you there comes the heavy moment, then to begin to smoke already available cigarette rather easily.
If you need to pass for this purpose through humiliation, to go outside and buy a pack of cigarettes — the probability to overcome temptation above.
Besides, the pain attack, most likely, will abate earlier, than you will reach the tobacco booth.
I consider that the main reason for higher percent of failures in similar cases is that the smoker does not feel ready to refusal of smoking.
Remember that two major components of success are two moods:
a.
Confidence.
b.
"As it is wonderful that I have no need to smoke any more".
Why, actually, do you need cigarettes?
If all of you feel the need to keep them around, then I would advise you to re-read this book.
It means that you did not acquire something else.
"I should avoid stressful situations and friendly meetings during the disaccustoming period".
Yes, try to avoid stressful situations.
It is not necessary to overload itself excessively.
In a case with friendly parties I advise you opposite.
Go and have fun!
You do not need cigarettes even during this period when there did not pass the dependence on nicotine.
Go on a party and be happy with what you should not smoke, and it will quickly prove to you that without cigarettes the life becomes much better.
Think of that, your life when a small monster and in general all this poison leaves your body will become how better.
39.
"Moment of truth" Usually three weeks later after the smoker ceases to smoke, comes "moment of truth".
It seems that the sky became brighter, and it is that moment when "brainwashing" completely stops.
Then, having ceased to repeat constantly about himself that you have no desire to smoke, you suddenly understand:
the last thread is torn, it is possible to enjoy really life without the slightest need for smoking.
Usually exactly from this point you begin to look at other smokers as people, worthy pity.
The smokers applying a will power method, as a rule, do not test anything similar as they, though are glad to be ex-smokers, nevertheless live in full belief that make a sacrifice.
The more you smoked, the this moment will be more wonderful, and it will last for the rest of the life.
I consider that I was very lucky, and in my life there were many wonderful events, but this "moment of truth" was the most surprising of all.
I well remember all considerable events, and I remember that it were the happy moments, but could never revive that feelings of happiness.
But that I nevermore should smoke, I cannot get used to feeling of joy in any way.
If today I have a bad mood or I need support — it is enough to remember that I have no dependence on artful tobacco any more.
The most part of the people communicating with me after they refused smoking, consider it the most joyful event in their life too.
If you knew what joy is necessary to you!
Responses of the readers and people visiting my consultations in twelve years allowed me to learn that in most cases "moment of truth" comes not after three weeks as it was stated above, and after several days.
In my own case it came still before I smoked the last cigarette.
Quite often at the very beginning of individual consultations the smoker spoke to me:
"You any more need to speak nothing, Allen.
I very clearly represent now everything.
"It is sure that I will never light again".
I learned to define the moment when on certain smokers during the group classes the revelation condescends.
From the letters received by me I know that the same quite often happens also to those who read the book.
Ideally, if you follow all instructions and completely understand psychological aspect of a problem, it has to happen to you at once.
Today on consultations I say to smokers that on physical disaccustoming about five days will leave, and three more weeks will be required on that the ex-smoker was completely released.
I not really like to give such instructions as it can lead to two problems.
The first is that I put the idea in consciousness of the person that he should suffer from five days to three weeks.
The second problem is that usually the smoker thinks:
"If I am able to hold on from five days to three weeks, then upon termination of this period of time I will receive full simplification".
However, it is quite probable that he will live five pleasant days or three pleasant weeks which one of those awful days which overtake both non-smoking, and smokers will follow.
Such days have nothing in common with smoking as they are caused absolutely by other factors of our life.
And then our smoker instead of expected "moment of truth" will get a depression that can undermine his self-confidence.
However if I did not give any instructions, then the ex-smoker so for nothing also would wait for something for the rest of the life.
I suspect that it and happens to most of the people who are leaving off smoking by a will power method.
Once me and washed away to tell that "revelation" has to condescend immediately.
But if I so told, and it would not occur, then the ex-smoker would lose self-confidence and decided that "revelation" will never occur.
People often ask me about the meaning of five days and three weeks.
Whether I made these figures up?
No.
Of course, it is not exact dates, however they reflect the current situation.
There pass about five days about the moment of refusal of smoking, and the smoker ceases to consider smoking as the main subject occupying all his thoughts.

[Admin]

Approximately at this time most of ex-smokers endure "moment of truth".
Usually it occurs so:
you are in a tense situation or in the company of people where could not think to themselves that you will be able to do without cigarette.
Unexpectedly you realize that you not only enjoy communication or perfectly cope with a stressful situation, but even the thought of a cigarette did not come to your mind.
From now on you just go down stream.
At this moment you learned that you are free.
During the previous attempts to leave off smoking by a will power method and also on the basis of stories by other smokers, I noticed that the three-week period is that time during which the majority of serious attempts to leave off smoking fail.
There is approximately following:
after about three weeks you feel that desire to smoke disappeared.
You want to prove it to yourself and light.
The taste of a cigarette is disgusting.
You proved that you left off smoking.
But at the same time again entered into the organism nicotine — nicotine for which your body so grieved all these three weeks.
As soon as you smoke this cigarette, removal of nicotine from an organism will begin.
Now the small voice will begin to repeat:
"You did not refuse smoking.
You want one more cigarette".
Of course, you begin to smoke the following cigarette not at once — you do not want to become dependent again.
You wait until there passes the safe period of time.
But when next time you will be tempted with smoking, you will tell yourself:
"I did not become addicted to smoking again therefore there will be no harm if I smoke one more cigarette".
And you entered on the slippery track conducting down again.
Key to a problem — not to wait for approach of "moment of truth", and to understand that the problem disappeared as soon as you finished smoking the last cigarette.
You already made everything that needed to be made.
You blocked intake of nicotine.
No force on the earth can prevent you to be free if only you do not begin to suffer or wait for a miracle.
Go and enjoy life.
Only this way "moment of truth" will come also for you.
40.
The last cigarette So if you are already ready to it, choose time to smoke the last cigarette.
But before making it, answer yourself two important questions:
1.
Whether you feel confidence in success?
2.
Whether the future seems to you gloomy and sad, or you have feeling of enthusiasm from consciousness that just about you will reach something remarkable?
If you have though the slightest doubts — re-read the book.
You remember:
you never made decisions to get to a nicotinic trap.
But this trap is arranged to enslave you for the rest of life.
It is possible to be released from it, having only made the firm decision to smoke the last cigarette.
You remember:
the only reason for which you already read the book to this chapter is that you awfully want to get rid of smoking.
So, make the positive decision right now.
Pledge that, having finished smoking the last cigarette irrespective of, it will be easy for you or it is difficult, you any more never light following.
Perhaps, you are concerned by the fact that you already several times in the past made similar promises, but continue to smoke, or the fact that you should endure a difficult period of time.
Don't be afraid.
The most terrible that can happen to you is a failure in the real attempt to get rid of smoking therefore you have nothing to lose.
And you can get very much!
Stop thinking even about failure.
To leave off smoking not simply easily — this process can enjoy really.
This time you are going to apply "An easy way"!
You need to follow only those simple instructions which I offer you:
1.
Pledge — and give it seriously.
2.
Smoke the last cigarette consciously, deeply dragging on this muck that it came directly to lungs.
Then wonder:
"And what here, actually, it gives pleasure?" 3.
Finishing smoking a cigarette, do not think at the same time:
"I nevermore have to light following" or "I cannot smoke more".
Think differently:
"As it is healthy!
I am free!
This nicotinic slavery came to an end!
I will never thrust this muck into a mouth any more!" 4.
You remember:
within several days with you there will live a little nicotinic traitor inside.
Can happen so that you will have one desire:
"I want a cigarette".
I call light physical thirst for nicotine "a small nicotinic monster".
Strictly speaking, it is wrong, and it is important that you understood why.
As death of a small monster requires about three weeks, ex-smokers believe that they will continue to grieve about tobacco and after the last cigarette is smoked.
Therefore they consider it necessary to apply a will power method to opposition to temptation during this period.
It's not true.
The organism has no passionate desire of nicotine, the melancholy for nicotine exists only in your mind.
If you after all manage to overcome feeling "I want a cigarette!" within several next days, your mind will have simple choice.
He can choose:
to remain with the feeling of emptiness and diffidence caused still by the very first cigarette or to answer it with words:
"HURRAH!
I am NON-SMOKING!" In any other case you can grieve about a cigarette and suffer for the rest of the life.
Think for a minute.
Whether silly at first to tell:
"I will never want to smoke any more", and then to carry out the remained life, repeating:
"As I would like to smoke a cigarette!" The smokers applying a will power method are engaged in it.
It is not surprising that they feel such unfortunate:
they live, desperately grieving about what also desperately hope to get rid forever of.
It is not surprising that so a little from them try to obtain success and that they never feel completely free.
5.
Only doubts do refusal of smoking difficult.
Therefore never doubt the decision, you know that it is correct.
If you begin to doubt it, then will appear in deadlock, a stalemate.
Passionately wishing a cigarette, but not daring to light, you will feel unfortunate.
And if after all light, then you will become even more unfortunate.
Whatever system you used, only one question is basic:
what do you try to reach, leaving off smoking?
To smoke nevermore?
No!
Many ex-smokers do not smoke, but live with melancholy about a cigarette.
What does the true difference between smokers and non-smoking consist in?
Non-smoking have neither need, nor desire to smoke;
they do not grieve about cigarettes, and they do not need to use will power not to smoke.
It is your purpose and to reach it in your power.
To become non-smoking and to cease to grieve about cigarettes, you do not need to wait for anything:
it occurs when you finished smoking the last cigarette.
Having blocked intake of nicotine, YOU ALREADY BECAME HAPPY NON-SMOKING!
!
!
But to remain in this state forever, you should accept some conditions:
1.
Never doubt the decision.
2.
Do not wait that "you will become non-smoking":
anything special will not occur any more, and empty expectation leads to formation of a phobia.
3.
Try to think of smoking and do not wait for approach of "moment of truth".
This way also leads to a phobia.
4.
Do not use nicotine substitutes.
5.
Looking at smokers, try to see whom they are actually;
feel sorry for them, but do not envy.
6.
Do not change the life because left off smoking, whatever days dropped out to you, joyful or difficult.
There is no need for bringing of the victims.
Remember that you did not stop living and anything in the life did not refuse.
On the contrary:
you cured yourself of a terrible disease and managed to escape from terrible prison.
Eventually your health, physical and intellectual, will become it is better, and vital take-off will seem above, and falling — less painful than when you were a smoker.
7.
When you thought of smoking, in the next few days or during the remained life, think so:
"HURRAH! I AM NON-SMOKING!!!"

[Admin]

41.
Final warning.
Any smoker, suggest it to return when he did not become addicted to smoking yet, with that knowledge which it has now, would not make a choice for smoking.
Many smokers addressing me are convinced that if I could help them to leave off smoking, they would never begin to dream of falling into a trap again.
Nevertheless, thousands of smokers manage to leave off smoking for many years and to conduct absolutely happy life, and then again to get to the same trap.
I believe:
this book will help you to make sure what to leave off smoking really easily.
However you remember:
smokers who made sure that it is easy to leave off smoking, know what also easily and again to begin to smoke.
DO NOT COME ACROSS ONCE AGAIN THIS BAIT!
No matter, as long you did not smoke or are how sure that you will nevermore become dependent on smoking, never and in any occasion not to smoke make to yourself the vital rule —.
Resist millions of dollars which spend the tobacco companies for advertizing, and you remember that they advertize drug — the murderer "number one" and terrible poison.
You will not tempt you to try heroin, and cigarettes kill at hundreds of thousands of people more, than it.
Remember that the first smoked cigarette will give nothing to you.
You will have no nicotinic hunger which needs to be facilitated, and its taste will be terrible.
To what it will lead everything — to receipt of a dose of nicotine in your organism, and the small voice will begin to repeat inside:
"You want more!".
And then again choice:
or to suffer during some period of time, or to start all this mean chain over again.
42.
Feedback Today at me behind shoulders twelve years (which passed from the date of the first publication of "An easy way") correspondence and conversations with the people reading this book or addressing me for consultation.
At first "experts" did not take my method seriously, and it was heavy fight.
Today smokers arrive on my consultations from all corners of the world, and among participants of classes representatives of medical professions prevail.
In Great Britain "The easy way" is considered the most effective remedy helping to leave off smoking and this opinion extends worldwide.
I do not consider myself the benefactor of mankind.
The war which, I emphasize is directed not against smokers, and against smoking trap — I conduct for purely egoistical reason.
Every time, having learned about the next smoker who got out of captivity I have feeling of huge joy even if it is not connected with me in any way.
You can imagine what pleasure is given me by thousands of letters of thanks received for these years!
But also I have disappointments.
My disappointments, are generally connected with two certain types of smokers.
Despite the prevention stated in the previous chapter I am disturbed by the number of smokers who, having found out what to leave off smoking so easily, begin to smoke again, and then it turns out that next time they do not manage to get rid of the dependence any more.
It concerns not only readers of the book, but also the smokers visiting my consultations.
A few years ago I was called by the man.
He was crazy about a grief;
he just sobbed.
He told:
"I will pay you one thousand pounds sterling if you help me to leave off smoking for a week.
I know that if I am able to hold on week, then I will be able forever to throw".
I answered it that my services have the fixed price, and all this that it needs to pay.
He attended group classes and, to big surprise, found out that it is easy to leave off smoking.
Later it sent me very touching letter of thanks.
I usually say to the former smokers leaving my classes:
"You remember, you never have to begin to smoke the following cigarette".
This man answered me then:
"Be not afraid, Allen.
If I managed "to get stuck", then I definitely will nevermore begin to smoke".
I could tell with confidence at once that in this case the caution was not acquired completely, and answered:
"I know, now you feel quite so, but how your affairs in six months will go?" He told:
"I will never begin to smoke again".
A year later the phone call sounded:
"Allen, I smoked a small cigar for Christmas, and now again returned to "norm" — forty cigarettes a day".
I told:
"Do you remember why you for the first time called me?
You so hated smoking that you were going to pay me 1000 pounds sterling if I help you to leave off smoking for a week".
"I remember.
Well, whether I was a fool?" "You remember, you promised nevermore me to smoke?" "I know.
I am a fool".
It is all the same that to find the person who got stuck up to a neck in the swamp and just about will disappear in the bog forever.
You help it to get out.
He is grateful to you, and then, six months later, dives back, into the same swamp.
Ironically to this man there was funny history.
Having come to one of classes, he told:
"Do you represent?
I offered the son the contract:
if by the 21st birthday he does not begin to smoke, I will pay it 1000 pounds sterling.
I paid.
So what?
Now he is 22 years old, and he smokes as the engine.
I cannot believe that he was such fool!".
I told:
"I do not understand why you call him the fool.
He, at least, avoided this trap within twenty two years, and, besides, does not know all sufferings which he should experience.
You perfectly knew all this, and held on only a year".
Smokers who found out that it is easy to leave off smoking but also to start over again — too easily, represent a major issue.
When you become free, PLEASE, DO NOT REPEAT THIS MISTAKE.
It is considered that such people begin to smoke again as still are in dependence and grieve about a cigarette.
Actually, having opened for itself that it is so simple to leave off smoking, they lose fear of smoking.
They think:
"From time to time I can smoke a cigarette.
Even if I will become dependent on smoking again, I will be able easily to throw again".
I am afraid that everything is not so simple.
It is easy to leave off smoking, but it is impossible to control dependence on nicotine.
The only thing that is important to become non-smoking is not to smoke.
Other type of the smokers causing my disappointment — those who are too frightened to make an attempt to leave off smoking.
If they also try, the refusal of smoking is represented to them great fight.

[Admin]

The main reasons for such pessimistic mood are in the following:
1.
"Fear of failure".
In failure there is no shame, but not to make attempts because of this fear — full nonsense.
Look at a situation on the other hand:
you do not hide from anything.
The worst that can happen to you — you fail, but in this case will not become worse, than is now.
But as it would be wonderful to achieve success!
If you do not try, then failure is already guaranteed to you.
2.
"Fear to panic".
Do not worry about it.
Think:
what, actually, terrible can happen to you if you nevermore smoke any cigarette?
Absolutely anything!
Awfully, if you continue to smoke.
Anyway, panic is generated by nicotine, and soon it will pass.
Disposal of this fear will become for you huge acquisition.
Really you believe that smokers are really ready to amputation of a leg or hand for pleasure which they derive from smoking?
If you feel that you are close to panic, you will be helped by deep breath.
If you are among people and they irritate you, leave them far away.
Go to a garage, to empty office or still somewhere.
If you feel that you just about will begin to cry, are not ashamed.
Crying — a natural way of removal of tension, after crying becomes always easier for us.
The fact that we teach little boys not to cry — a mistake.
Pay attention as their jaws when they try to hold back tears clench.
As true British, we learn to squeeze lips, without showing any emotions.
But we should not suppress the emotions and hide them deeply inside.
Begin to squeal, cry, afford a rage attack.
Kick a cardboard box or a bedside table.
Treat the fight against smoking as to a boxing duel in which it is impossible to lose.
Nobody can stop time.
The every passing moment the small monster sitting at you inside dies.
Be happy — your victory is inevitable.
3.
Not following to instructions.
Incredibly, but some smokers say to me:
"With me your method did not work".
Then they begin to describe, how exactly they ignored even not one, and practically all instructions.
(For clarity I summarize all instructions in the form of the check list at the end of the head).
4.
Incorrect understanding of instructions.
a) "I cannot but think of smoking".
Of course, you cannot and if you try, then you will only get a phobia and you will become unfortunate.
It how to try to fall asleep at insomnia:
the more you try, the worse at you it turns out.
I think of smoking of 90% of the time.
It is important that you think.
If you dream:
"I with pleasure would smoke a cigarette" or "When I will become free?", you will be unfortunate.
If you think:
"HURRAH!
I — am free" — you will be happy.
b) "When this small monster will die?" Nicotine promptly leaves your organism.
However precisely to tell when your body ceases to suffer from slight physical feeling of disaccustoming from nicotine, it is impossible.
The similar feeling of uncertainty and emptiness reminds feeling of usual hunger, depression or tension.
The cigarette only increases the level of this hunger.
That is why the smokers who are leaving off smoking by a will power method will never be absolutely sure whether they broke the habit.
Even after your organism ceased to suffer from nicotinic hunger when he experiences ordinary hunger or a stress, your brain will continue to claim:
"It you want to smoke a cigarette".
You should not wait when there passes the thirst for nicotine — it is so weak that we do not even guess its existence.
It is known to us only as feeling "I want to smoke".
Leaving after the final session of treatment the stomatologist's office, you do not wait until the jaw ceases to hurt?
Of course not.
You continue to live.
You have an excellent mood even if the jaw still aches a bit.
c) Expectation of "moment of truth".
Expecting when it comes, you only create one more phobia.
Once I left off smoking for three weeks, using a will power method.
I met the old school friend and the former smoker.
He asked:
"How there are affairs?" I told:
"Held on three weeks".
He was surprised:
"What do you have to a look, saying that you held on three weeks?" I answered:
"I held on three weeks without cigarettes".
Then he told:
"And what you are going to do next?
To keep for the rest of the life?
What do you wait for?
You already made everything.
You — non-smoking".
And I thought:
"And he is absolutely right.
What do I wait for?" Unfortunately, as at that time I not up to the end understood smoking trap nature, soon I lit again, however noted this feature.
You become non-smoking when you finish smoking the last cigarette.
It is important that you were from the very beginning happy.
d) "I still grieve about cigarettes".
Well, then you behave very silly.
As you can say;
"I want to be non-smoking", and then to say:
"I want a cigarette"?
This contradiction.
Saying:
"I want a cigarette", you, actually, say:
"I want to be a smoker".
Non-smoking do not want to smoke.
You already know what you want in fact therefore stop to torment yourself.
e) "I dropped out of life".
Why?
Everything that you are offered to make — to cease to smother itself.
You should not stop living at all.
Look as everything is simple.
For some time you should live with a small trauma.
Your organism will suffer from almost imperceptible deterioration in the state caused by disaccustoming from nicotine.
But you perfectly know this state:
quite so you suffered in the stay as the smoker — when filled up or were in church, supermarket or library.
It seems when you were a smoker, it not especially disturbed you.
But if you do not leave off smoking, then will suffer for the rest of the life.
Not cigarettes create pleasure from a lunch or the atmosphere at a friendly meeting — rather, they destroy it.
Even so far your body still feels the need for nicotine, meetings with friends and breakfasts — are wonderful.
Life in general is wonderful!
Safely go on public actions even if there will be twenty smokers.
You remember:
it not you, but they experience deprivations.
Each of them with pleasure would appear on your place.
Enjoy the provision of "the first violin" and be in the center of general attention.
Refusal of smoking — a fine subject for a conversation, especially when smokers see that you are happy and cheerful.
They, of course, will decide that your case — unique.
It is important that you from the very beginning enjoyed life.
You have no need to envy smokers — it they will envy you.
e) "I am unfortunate and irritable".
It is because you did not follow my instructions.
Define what council you passed.
Some smokers understand me and trust in everything that I tell, but nevertheless start implementation of the plan with feeling of despondency and inevitability of destiny, expecting something awful.
What for?
You not just carry out the desire, but do what any smoker on the planet would like to make.
According to any method of refusal of smoking, any smoking person wishes to reach special mentality in which when he thought of smoking, he could tell himself:
"HURRAH!
I AM FREE!" If it is your purpose why to wait?
Stay in similar mentality from the very beginning and never lose it.
Final part of the book is intended to force you to understand why the alternative does not exist.
The CHECK LIST you do not fail if you follow these simple instructions.
1.
Pledge that you never — never — will not smoke, chew or suck anything that contains nicotine, and you hold the promise.
2.
Accurately understand:
there is nothing at all what you refuse, or the fact that you throw.
Telling it, I mean not only the fact that it will be more pleasant to you to live non-smoking (you knew it always).

[Admin]

No, I mean another:
though your smoking is not explainable in terms of logic in any way, you have to derive from it peculiar pleasure or support — otherwise you would not begin to do it.
But I claim that in smoking there is no pleasure or support — unless you like to be up against a blank wall just for the hell of it which you test when you stop this attraction.
3.
There is no concept "the convinced smoker".
You — only one of millions which got in this artful trap.
As well as millions of other former smokers who once thought that they will not be able to get out you managed it.
4.
When you began to weigh smoking pros and cons, you will always come to the same conclusion:
"Stop smoking.
You're a fool!" Nothing ever will change it.
So was always and so will always be.
Knowing that you made the correct decision, do not torture yourself, doubting it.
5.
Try to think of smoking and do not worry that you constantly think of it.
However when you thought of smoking — whether today whether tomorrow or later — think as follows:
"HURRAH!
I AM NON-SMOKING!" 6.
Do not use any substitutes.
You do not keep around a cigarette.
Do not avoid other smokers.
Do not change the way of life only because left off smoking.
If you follow the instructions given above, then will soon endure "moment of truth".
But:
7.
Do not wait for it approach.
Just continue to conduct usual life.
Enjoy vital take-off and cope with falling.
You by all means will soon find out that this moment came.

Help the smoker who remained by the sinking ship Today smokers are captured by panic.
They feel the changes happening in society.
Today smoking is considered an antisocial habit, and even smokers so think.
They feel too that their time passed.
Today millions of people leave off smoking, and it is known to all.
Every time when the sinking ship is left by one more smoker, remained onboard feel even more unfortunately.
At heart each of them knows that ridiculously to pay huge money for the dried-up leaves papered and then to set fire to them and to inhale cancerogenic pitches in lungs.
If all of you do not consider yet that it is silly, then try to thrust the burning cigarette to yourself into an ear and wonder in what a difference.
Difference only in one:
in such a way you will not be able to receive nicotine.
Stop to thrust cigarettes into a mouth, and nicotine is not required to you any more.
Smokers cannot find the logical reason of smoking, but if near them still somebody smokes, they do not feel so silly any more.
Smokers frankly lie about the habit, not only to other people, but also to themselves.
They are forced:
if they want to keep though any self-esteem, they need "to rake over the coals" to themselves and others.
They feel the need to justify own dependence not only before by itself, but also before non-smoking.
Therefore they always advertize illusory advantages of smoking.
If the smoker leaves off smoking, using a will power method, he all the same feels deprived and is inclined to turn into the whiner.
Its moaning leads only to the fact that other smokers make sure as far as they are right, continuing to smoke.
If the smoker manages to break the habit, he is happy that he should not live any more, poisoning himself and throwing out money to burn.
However, as it does not need justifications and assessment from outside, he does not tell about it.
It does it only on whose - nibud to a request, but smokers will not ask similar questions.
They will not like the answer.
You remember:
the fear forces them to smoke, causing desire "to bury the head in sand".
They will ask this question the only time — when for them there comes time to stop smoking.
Help the smoker.
Save it from these fears.
Tell it as it is wonderful to live, without poisoning themselves;
as it is fine to wake up in the morning, feeling fresh and healthy instead of coughing and breathing with a prisvist;
as it is exciting to be free from slave dependence, to be able to enjoy life and to get rid of the fear and fault saddening consciousness.
Or better still, let he will read this book too.
It is very important not to humiliate the smoker, pointing him that he pollutes the atmosphere or that he is in some way disgusting.
There is a widespread representation that it is the worst in this regard — the former smokers.
I think, this judgment is right for those smokers who left off smoking by means of a will power method.
Though the ex-smoker also broke own habit to smoke, he not up to the end managed to get rid of "brainwashing", and kakoyto a part of he still believes that he made a huge sacrifice.
He feels the vulnerable, and natural mechanism of protection for it there is an attack on the smoker.
It can help the ex-smoker, but it does not give to the smoker anything.
The similar behavior leads only to the fact that the smoker begins to defend, feels from it even more unfortunately, and, respectively, his need for a cigarette amplifies even more.
Though change of the relation of society to smoking — the main reason for which millions of smokers leave off smoking it does not facilitate their task at all.
More likely, it considerably complicates process of refusal of smoking.
Today most of smokers believe that they leave off smoking, generally caring for the health.
It is not absolutely right.
Though it is obvious that the huge risk for health demands refusal of smoking, smokers poisoned themselves for many years, and the threat for health did not influence it in any way.
The main reason for which they leave off smoking is that society begins to see what it is — disgusting drug addiction in smoking.
Receiving pleasure always was only illusion;
the similar relation of society discredits it and therefore the smoker is left with nothing.
Total ban on smoking in the system of the London subway — a classical example of a dilemma of the smoker.
The smoker can tell himself:
"It is good if I am not able to smoke in the subway car, I will prefer other type of transport" that does not lead to anything good unless reduces income of the London subway.
He can tell differently:
"Perfectly, it will help me to reduce quantity of the smoked cigarettes".
As a result of such decision instead of smoking one-two cigarettes in the subway car from one of which he would not derive any pleasure, he abstains from smoking within an hour.
During this forced abstention period, however, he not only will experience sincere sufferings and to expect the award, but also his body will pine from desire of nicotine.
Oh, what precious will become a cigarette when eventually to it allow to light!
The periods of the forced abstention do not lead to reduction of intake of nicotine as the smoker does not refuse to himself desire to smoke more cigarettes when to it at last allow to smoke.
All this leads only to rooting in his mind values of a cigarette and dependence on nicotine.
I think that the most artful party of the periods of the forced abstention consists in their impact on pregnant women.
We allow unfortunate girls to live under the pressure of massive advertizing that results them in dependence on nicotine.
Then, it is possible during the most intense period of their life when their lost mind repeats that they more than ever need cigarettes, doctors blackmail them that they left off smoking because of harm which renders smoking on the child.
Many cannot throw and are forced to suffer from a fault complex for the rest of the life.
Some of them manage to leave off smoking, and they are awfully glad, thinking:
"Perfectly, I will make it for the sake of the child, and in nine months the desire to smoke will pass".
Then pain and fear of childbirth which highest "take-off" in our life follows come.
Pain and fear passed, the beautiful new little man was born, and here old triggers begin to operate again.
Part of "brainwashing" still remained and before the umbilical cord is cut off, the girl thrusts a cigarette into a mouth again.
The delight of a situation blocks terrible taste of a cigarette.
It has no slightest intention again to fall into dependence on nicotine.
"Only one cigarette".
Too late!
She already became addicted, nicotine got to its organism again.
The old draft wakes up and even if it will fall into dependence on smoking not at once, the postnatal depression, perhaps, all the same will get it.
It is strange that though the addicts who became addicted to heroin under the law are criminals, the attitude of society towards them is rather humane:
"What can we make to help poor people?" Kindly to learn to treat also and poor smokers.
They smoke not because want to smoke but because they consider themselves forced, and, unlike become addicted to heroin, for many years suffer from intellectual and physical tortures.
We always say that fast death — is better slow therefore do not envy the poor smoker.
He deserves your compassion.

HELP to MAKE council non-smoking SO THAT YOUR FRIENDS And RELATIVES SMOKERS READ THIS BOOK At first study book contents and try to put yourself to the place of the smoker.
Do not force it to read violently the book and, especially, to leave off smoking, telling it that it affects the health or throws out money to burn.
He knows it better you.
Smokers smoke not because derive from it pleasure or because want to smoke.
They only tell it to themselves and others to keep self-esteem.
They smoke because feel dependent on cigarettes, and consider that cigarettes allow them to relax, give courage and confidence to themselves.
They are afraid that without cigarettes the life never will be so pleasant any more.
If you try violently to force the smoker to leave off smoking, he will feel the animal driven into a trap and will even more want to smoke a cigarette.
It can turn it into the secret smoker, and the cigarette in his representation will become even more valuable (see Chapter 26).

[Admin]

Try to come better on the other hand.
Bring it into the company of the former smokers.
Ask them to tell this smoker as they were sure that they became dependent on smoking forever and their life when they ceased to smoke became how better.
As soon as you force it to believe in that, as he can leave off smoking, his consciousness will begin to clear up.
Then begin to sort the delusions created by disaccustoming torments.
You remember:
cigarettes not only do not give support, but undermine self-confidence and make the person irritable and intense.
Now it has to be ready to reading the book independently.
He will expect that it should read a set of pages about lung cancer, heart diseases and so on.
Explain that in this book the different approach is applied absolutely and that references to diseases make only a little bit of material.
HELP THE EX-SMOKER DURING THE DISACCUSTOMING PERIOD!
No matter, the ex-smoker suffers or not:
consider that he suffers.
Do not try to minimize his sufferings, reporting that it is easy to leave off smoking;
he also is able to do it.
Instead constantly you say to him as you are proud of it, it became how better to look, how more pleasantly it smells, its breath became how easier.
It is very important to do it constantly.
When the smoker makes an attempt to leave off smoking, he is helped by euphoria of attempt and attention which he receives from friends and colleagues.
However usually they quickly forget about it therefore continue to praise it.
As he does not speak about smoking, you can decide that he forgot about it and to be afraid to remind him.
So work only when using a method of will power.
Be not afraid to bring up this subject and continue to praise it:
he will tell you if he does not want that reminded him of smoking.
Very much try to weaken its loadings during the disaccustoming period.
Try to think up ways to make his life interesting and pleasant.
This time — the difficult period and for non-smoking.
If one member of the group is angry, it can result in the general despondency.
Try to warn similar situations.
Your ward can splash out the irritation and on you, but do not answer it with the same:
right now it most of all needs your praise and sympathies.
If the irritation is felt by you, try not to show it.
When I tried to leave off smoking by means of a will power method, I resorted to different slyness:
for example, dared to fall into violent irritation, hoping that my wife or friends will tell:
"I cannot watch more how you suffer.
For God's sake, begin to smoke a cigarette".
In this case the conscience at the smoker is pure:
he does not "give up" at all — ordered him.
If the ex-smoker resorts to similar cunning, do not encourage his smoking at all.
Tell him:
"If it — to what you were brought by cigarettes, praise to heaven that you soon will become free.
As it is wonderful that you have a courage and mind to leave off smoking".
Conclusion:
help to put an end to this shame In my opinion, smoking — the biggest shame of our society, even bigger, than nuclear weapon.
The base of a civilization, the reason for which the human look so far progressed in the development is that we are capable to impart our knowledge and experience not only each other, but also to future generations.
Even the lowest animal species need to warn the posterity about vital traps.
It is considered that if nuclear weapon does not leave from under control — in the world there will be no problem left requiring the solution.
Apologists of arms race can continue to say smugly:
"Policy of nuclear control — pledge of the world".
If nuclear weapon is used once, it will solve both a problem of smoking and all other problems.
Award to politicians will be the fact that on the earth there will be no nobody left who could tell:
"You were not right".
(Interestingly, not therefore whether they support arms race?
).
However, in spite of the fact that I am an opponent of nuclear weapon, I cannot but recognize that similar decisions are made, at least, in senses and sincere belief that it will help mankind.
With smoking everything is differently.
Perhaps, during the last war the people sincerely believed that cigarettes give them courage and confidence in the forces.
Today all (including the authorities) know that this delusion.
However look at modern advertizing of cigarettes.
She does not claim that cigarettes bring relaxation or pleasure.
All statements which contain in it are connected only with quality of tobacco.
And what to you, actually, business to quality of poison?
The public hypocrisy in this question strikes!
As members of society, we protest against toxicomania and addiction to heroin.
In comparison with the nicotine use, these problems are only pimples on a body of society.
Depending on nicotine there were about 60% of the population, and most of them spent the most part of pocket money for cigarettes.
Tens of thousands of people ruin every year the lives because became addicted to smoking.
Smoking became the mass murderer in society, and at the same time the most large sums of the Ministry of Finance of Great Britain are made in it.
On misfortune of the addicts dependent on nicotine, it earns 8,000,000,000 pounds sterling annually, and it is authorized to industrial tobacco giants to spend 120,000,000 pounds sterling a year for advertizing of this poison.
The tobacco companies smartly make an inexpressive warning of harm of smoking for health, placing it on cigarette packs, and on television campaigns in which it is told about threat of cancer, fetid breath and amputation of legs, the government spends only pathetic babies.
After that the government finds moral justifications, stating:
"We warned you about danger.
It is your choice".
The smoker had at all no more opportunities to choose, than the addict who became addicted to heroin.
Smokers did not make the decision to become smokers;
they were enticed into an artful trap.
If smokers really had a choice, for the next day the teenagers beginning to smoke considering that they will be able to throw at any time when they want would only remain the only smokers.
Why there are double standards?
Why the narkomanygeroinshchik who are considered as criminals can register as addicts and to receive the corresponding medical treatment to get rid of the dependence?
Try to register as the addict who became addicted to nicotine!
You have even no opportunity to buy cigarettes at prime cost.
You are forced to pay three times more them to actual cost, and every year the government does your life harder and harder.
As though the smoker has not enough problems as it is!
If you ask for the help the doctor, he will tell:
"Stop to smoke, or smoking will kill you".
But you also know it.
Or will write to you the prescription on nicotine addiction medicine which will contain that drug which you try to refuse!
Anti-nicotinic campaigns also do not help smokers to leave off smoking.
They only complicate refusal of smoking, intimidating smokers that forces them to want to smoke even more.
They do not stop even teenagers.
Teenagers know that cigarettes kill, however they understand that one cigarette will not kill them.
This habit is so widespread that the teenager, sooner or later, owing to the public pressure or curiosity, will try one cigarette.
And as its taste is so disgusting, he, most likely, will become addicted to smoking.
Why we allow that this scandalous situation proceeded?
Why our government will not perform with a special campaign?
Why it will not say that nicotine — drug and deadly poison that it will not reduce your stress and will not give you confidence, and will only loosen nerves?
Why will not report what make dependent on nicotine only one cigarette can?
I remember one episode from the novel "Time machine" by Herbert Wells where it is about events of the distant future.
The person falls to the river and begins to sink.
Its satellites crowd ashore as herd of rams, without paying any attention to desperate shouts.
This episode seemed to me absolutely brutal.
General apathy of our society concerning a problem of smoking is very similar to the described situation.
We allow to show on television in rush hours of a competition in darts for which the tobacco companies sponsor.
Shout sounds:
"Hundred eighty points", and then the camera shows how the player lights.
Imagine scandal if competitions were sponsored by mafia, the player would be an addict, and would show us later how it injects to itself(himself) heroin.
Why we allow society to bring healthy teenagers and youth whose life before they begin to smoke, is perfect, to that they paid a fantastic sum for doubtful privilege to ruin the physical and mental health, were in slave dependence on this poison and conducted the life filled with diseases?
Perhaps, you will tell that I too dramatize.
No, it not so.
My father lived because of smoking only up to fifty years.
He was a strong person and could live still.
I know that when to me was slightly for forty, I had close calls though most likely the reason of my death would call a cerebral hemorrhage, without having connected it with smoking in any way.
Now I advise the smokers deprived of working capacity or who are at the last stages of a disease.
If you think of it, perhaps you remember many such people too.
In society blew softly changes.
The snowball already began to grow, and I hope that by means of this book it will turn into an avalanche.
Now, when you read this book, you can help too, distributing this message.
