Revealing Signs that It Is Time to Withdraw from Smoking

Even smokers can be categorized. And perhaps you think you haven’t crossed yet the threshold of danger of smoking to health or life. Here are questions you may contemplate on and consider to quit smoking.

Can Life Continue without Smoking?

If this kind of retrospection ever occurred to you, then you have already or nearly necessitate the presence of smoking in your life. Contrary to those who smoke only during specific times (smoking after a meal or when drinking coffee), you probably are smoking anytime of the day without regard to how many sticks you would consume. That also means you keep extra supply of cigarettes so that you will not run out. Think also of budgeting. Most probably you are calculating how much you would allocate for cigars in a month.

Is Smoking Destroying Personal Relationships?

The problem can go as far as the workplace. Many smokers had lost their jobs because the nature of their jobs prohibits them to smoke in the workplace. Teachers, medical practitioners, guidance counselors and church leaders are among the casualties.

But losing your job may not hurt as much as losing personal relationships. You may lose your job and find another which does not require you to quit smoking. You cannot lose your family and replace it by another family. If you are quarrelling with your loved ones over this habit and the ashtray is replacing their love and caring in your heart, then you are on the brink of losing control even over your own life. Do not lose your priority.

Do You Feel Ashamed Inwardly Because of Smoking?

That is your self-esteem on the line. To all people, self-esteem is of highest importance. High self-esteem is what everyone needs to be able to function properly in society. If smoking makes you feel ashamed of yourself in groups and crowds but are doing nothing to avert the problem, then you are already engulfed in a feeling of helplessness. And you cannot feel wrongly about yourself over a long period without breeding eventual self-destruction. It is time to face the problem squarely and it usually takes one quick decision to start the healing process.

Don’t waste time when any of the conditions above take shape. They surely will take place in your life especially if you have been suffering from smoking habit for years.

You can end this trouble now. Just quit smoking – that simple.
