Quitting Smoking by Allen Carr
-
I got this small book for my friend, hoping he will quit smoking. But never mind , since I have no chance of passing it to him, I will put this up as the third topic of Kopitiam for the year 2004.
When did you decide to become a smoker?
No, I dont mean what was the occasion of your first cigarette, but when did you decide to smoke everyday?
Or did you just drift into it like every other smoker on the planet? -
the first occasion? dun wan to remember it...

reasons y i think ppl should quite smoking
i was a smoker once now a social smoker. ppl offer me i'll smoke.
1. cigarettes are expensive now. annually at least 3000 bucks on cigarettes.
2. u spend $$ to waste time, each smoking break u take wastes 5mins. if u dun smoke, u can use that 5 mins to do other things, unless u r a very free person.
3. u spend $$ to detoriate your health.
4. u need to carry it around and make sure it is kept dry, uncrushed, etc...and dun lose it. extra.......
5. u r polluting the environment as well as your own home. your clothes/hair/bags stink after u smoke and need to wash more frequently.
6. then are more.....just cannot be bothered to think now -
Will you always be a smoker?
So when will you quit?
After you spent the $50,000?
When you've crippled your health?
When the time is right?
How many years have you smoked?
Do you ever wonder why it never seems the right time to quit -
no need to quit since i am not addicted in the first place.

arghhhh, these are for smokers........Originally posted by wuming78:no need to quit since i am not addicted in the first place.
btw, newspapers praised Allen Carr for successfully helping people to quit smoking.
I think when I finish posting all the quotes, hehe, people who say, "stop all the postings already, i quit , i quit!"
muahahhahahha

so am i a smoker or not? hm... -
Why do you smoke?
Because it tastes good?
Do you eat it?
For something to do with your hands?
Try a biro.
For oral satisfaction?
Use a dummy.
To relieve boredom and stress and aid relaxation and concentration?
Surely boredom and concentration are opposites and so are stress and relaxation. -

Tell you a story.Originally posted by wuming78:because i wan to?
Once, I talked to my friend's fiancee who join BelAirparis. We are not going into MLM here. We just talk about merits and demerits of using aromatheraphy and stuff.
Her bf (my friend) is a nutritionist by training, and we both believe in nutrition more than aromatheraphy. He couldnt stand the smell of the stuff she brought home, but she enjoys it.Haha..
When me and the fiancee goes deep into science of aromatheraphy, I ask her why she uses Belair aromatheraphy, when she doesnt have much knowledge of the products. For all we know, some of these may harm her health. You know what she emphasise throughout our conversation? She feels good using these products. She goes on and on about how her sense of emotion changes as she breathe in more......
I was like what?!! Similarly with ciggys, emotion vs rationale. Is there a need to smoke, or we just "want to"? Do we need cigarettes for positive changes in our body health and stuff, or we just want to feel good? -
no leh. theres no emotion involved in my case. i jus wan to. i jus like to. its as simple as tt. and as and when i dun like to i can simply stop. in fact i haven smoked for the past few daes. feel good? mabbe when i smoke lor. and when i smoke? when i feel like it. hahaha... no emotion and no rationale. i oso dunno y.Originally posted by laurence82:I was like what?!!

What are your favourites cigarettes?
First in the morning? Isnt that the one that tastes the worst?
After a meal or with a drink, when answering the phone or during stress? How can the identical cigarette out of the same packet taste different to, or have the complete opposite effect to the one smoked an hour earlier? -
