stop smoking or stop living by ~pdcunha
come college, there are more and more people i come across who smokes
its not that i give a damn bout this habit of theirs, but there are people i care about who smokes
Uh- huh and so i am no amateur in telling my friends to stop, but i know i certainly didn’t do a good job at it
that is why i’m blogging bout what i found on this site… perhaps many need it as i do =)
DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT SAY THESE TO EM
- You’ re going to get lung cancer As if they don’t know bout it. They do. So often that they’d want to swat those who said it, like they do a mosquito
“The health risks of smoking aren’t new to anyone; smokers have heard it all before,” says Pam Mills, an addiction counselor and hypnotherapist in Denver. “All they do is block you out or say whatever they think will shut you up.”
- If you loved me, you’d quit A guilt trip wouldn’t work, as it is the case with any addiction. If he believed he could quit, he would. It’ll just make him guilty and feel bad bout himself… and angry at you for making him feel crummy
- Smoking is disgusting. I don’t know why you don’t quit That’s counterproductive because he feels that way, alright- thing is, he can’t admit that to himself. Unless if you wouldn’t mind being the baddie, sure as hell you’d want him to know you’re on his side. Besides, you prolly know him enough to know why he doesn’t quit <== He just can’t
- Look at you; you get out of breath so easily Be subtle, take a sneakier approach, as addiction expert Susan Gayle of New York suggests. Drag him along to take up activities such as swimming or ballroom dancing (i believe many young people aint really into such a dance though). When he figures out that smoking’s getting in the way, Ta- Da!- you’ve made your point
- Do you want your grandchildren to see you smoking? Nah, bringing in the future kids might do as well. You don’t hear those who smoke saying that they aren’t happy with one. Deep down, they’re actually ashamed of their dependence on it. Take the opposite approach, help him envision just how proud he’s gonna be when he finally stops…
P/S: My car don’t take it nicely to having smokers that reek of cigarette smoke inside. And if my boyfriend’s a smoker, i’ll assure him this; No kissing till you brush yo teeth.
