Stop smoking effortlessly...using your inner power!

More I talk with people who are quitting smoking, more I forwarded inside this argument...more I understand the principle that made me a smoker for 20 years.

Some weeks ago a 60 years old man came out with something like that: “I read in several medic reports that if you have smoked for more than 25 years and try to quit you can even die!”...

Amazing...just amazing!

This is exactly what I am talking about...

Our mind is able to make us believe anything, even a thing that has millions of opposite and certain proofs!

Probably you are now wondering what is going on in the mind of a person to arrive to say something like that...

Nothing strange...you have to understand it is a smoker that speaks about quit smoking...

The thing is, the smoking addiction has absolutely nothing of the chemical addiction that other drugs create in your body.

Smoking is, truly, a mental addiction!

Here's all it's trick...the nicotine effect on your mind is real, of course, but it is not able to produce not even the smallest part of the withdrawal symptoms of an heavy drug.

So, why people do not just stop smoking?

...MARKETING...

Yes, in the last century, a very powerful marketing created the “status symbol” of the smoker, and millions of people started to do that...

In the end of the 19^th century, once the danger of the cigarette was clear, the same tobacco companies paid again the best marketing adviser they could find.

The result?

Dozens of campaigns anti-smoking, with a “secret” purpose to create in everyone, smokers and not, the belief that stop smoking is a real hard time thing.

So, they made us smokers and now they kept us smoking.

And what about the chemical addiction?

It is just a little, marginal, effect, but with the right marketing behind it, contributes efficaciously to keep people in the fear to quit!

Just to point out again:

You start smoking because others do that (the personal excuse you believe in, is just an excuse...I feel more confident, I feel older, I feel cooler, smoking relax me...bla bla bla...the truth is that if millions of people do that, if the most popular boy/girl in my school does that, something “good” it must have...)

Then, you keep smoking because it has become your “comfort zone”, it is something you are absolutely fearing to cut off from your life, and this is helped from the chemical effect of the addiction, but just helped.

I want, once again, to underline what are the withdrawal symptoms of quitting smoking:

A little additional feeling of hunger,

A tiny sensation of empty,

The missing of a lifelong ritual,

And a little extra nervousness.

That's it!

No crisis, no panic, no pains...

Things that people could experience taking an airplane, before an exam, or just dating a person they really like...

So?

You stay close at home, without seeing the world, taking your graduation and not even searching for your soul-mate because these feelings will arise?

NO!

Of course, there are people that have big problems to do these things, but there are also people that commit suicide, or become terrorists, but the point is that a “normal” person is not afraid to do things that probably have more distress of quitting smoking.

Another example, why people are not concerned about driving a car of what they are about flying?

They are habituated to do that more than take an airplane...unfortunately the statistics of people killed or seriously injured in a car accident are thousands of times more common of an air disaster!

This is what the phrase “comfort zone” really means.

You know something and are afraid to change it, even if your comfort zone is more dangerous or less pleasant of the new one.

But you can change your mindset about it, you can choose to live a life of intellectual freedom, where the only person who decide what is good or not for you is yourself!

Inside every person there is all the power that made the human being the most powerful creature on this planet.

We are all Sigmund Freud, we are all Leonardo Da Vinci, we are all Winston Churchill...

The thing is we are habituated to think that we are just...we.

So we do not even try to do this or that thing...because we do not believe in ourselves!

The greatest persons in the history had just this thing more than the millions of unknown ones, they believe they can...and actually they DID it!

This is why, if you really want to get free from the smoking addiction, you do not need anything but to:

Choose it!

Believe it!

Do it!

You know, every smokers know, that you are not smoking because you like it!

You know that millions of people have a wonderful life, and they are non-smokers!

You know that every single time you light up a cigarette it is you “deciding” to do it!

So, get out of the trap!

It is a prison without walls, guards, or wild dogs ready to bite you!

They just say...you cannot stop smoking without suffer...and you believed that!

Now, instead to believe that you have only to answer them in the right way...

I CAN QUIT SMOKING!
