Fags huh..?

It’s the very same reason that some of us couldn’t switch from “real” fags to roll-ups and the same reason why, if you analyse your daily consumption, our fag smoking schedule bears little relationship to how long it was since our previous smoke. It’s the same reason you can quit smoking instantly and the same reason you can’t get lab rats hooked on nicotine. It's the reason muttered in hushed tones.
Smoking is simply a compulsive habit. We smoke when we’re happy, when we’re sad, when we’re bored, hungry, lost, hurt, driving, nervous etc etc We fill the little gaps in our lives with a fag and yes, we even smoke when nicotine levels fall in our body. Many want you to think that falling nicotine levels are the sole reason we smoke, that you're addicted to "the most addictive drug ever put on the planet" and "quitting is hard" and then make loads and loads of cash out of that very assumption.
As so many have easily proven, ditch the fags and within a week your nicotine dependency has gone. On a scale of 100, blame 5% of your habit on the nicotine and the rest on your subconscious.
What is disgusting in the extreme is that many people fail in their well-intended quits because they misguidedly put their faith in a solution doomed from the start and don’t take the time to learn about why they smoked. They address the 5% and then find they still want to smoke….Society has trouble accepting the responsibility and needs an addiction excuse whether it’s chocolate, gambling, smoking, weight gain, etc
Those that recognise it for what it is just stop and then kick themselves for being so stupid for so long.
There is no dark side to smoking. No secret, no clever way round it. You stop, suffer a weekend of feeling niggled, a week or two of flu like feelings and then a weird feeling like something's missing out of your life for a few months as you get to grips with thinking you should be doing something else and it turns out it's the smoking you're missing. But in a nice way.......but, while all this is happening you suddenly feel more alive, more alert, less stressed, even happier.......unfortunately preaching comes a little too easy.....
