it's the mental associations you make with things that cause you to react
negatively or positively towards them... and i believe there are stop smoking tapes you can buy to change your mind set...for about ten bucks... but remember that smoke is dust....and within that dust is the nicotine,,,which by the way is an insecticide utilized by cotton growers to kill the cotton boweevil
because NOTHING else will.... power walking is better than jogging because is less traumatic to your joints.... and you don't build up carbon dioxide and fatigue yourself so readily..
My Mom and Dad quit 1 year ago this month...My Dad had pretty much smoked non-filtered Camels for 45 years. If you can stop smoking those things anything is possible.
Is great going to their house now. No cigarette smell and the grandkids don't stink when they come home...
I quit smoking about 11 years ago and then quit Copenhagen about 2 years later... Copenhagen was much harder. (I did two tins a day, which is roughly the equivalent nicotine of 6 packs of smokes)
One thing I remember: After about a month or so I noticed my taste buds came back and so did smells (not always good). I also remember how nicotine kinda keeps you in a bit of a haze that you never noticed until you quit...
