Many people started smoking as teenager, thinking it made them look cool, big or more grown-up. Sadly, it just showed them to be sheep, following a crowd, or worse, lemmings who throw themselves over a cliff.
Why would anyone want to start a habit which is harmful to the self as well as those around? Why would anyone want to become a slave to a weed and breathe in poisonous substances every day? Why waste money when there are so many better options for spending?
Of course, smokers always say they are not addicted and could give up anytime but is that true? If it is, why do so many people need the help of alternative therapists, nicotine replacement therapy, books, anti-addiction courses, this blog?
The truth is that smokers are addicts. They say that smoking relieves stress. That is true – the stress of having to feed an addiction. Millions of other people cope perfectly well with daily stresses without ever reaching for a smoke. Cigarettes are not your friend. They are parasitical cancer sticks which want to kill you.
The good news is that nicotine addiction is about 20% physiological and 80% psychological. That means that just as you thought about becoming a smoker, so you can think your way out of the habit – with a little help.
Very few people have the willpower to stop a negative habit, particularly one involving a drug, without help. That is why so many people admit themselves to drug rehabilitation centres. But you can become a non-smoker when you truly think of yourself as a non-smoker. You learnt how to become a smoker and now you can learn how to become a non-smoker using the power of your own subconscious mind.

Can a Smoker be a Student of Self-Improvement?

"But it's sad that people who have been doing self-improvement for over a year, people that have actually decided to look at their self and their life in such a developmental perspective, STILL SMOKE!
IF YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE: DEVELOP SOME WILL POWER AND QUIT SMOKING!!"
I could not agree more.
When I was a Herbalife distributor, I remember Mark Hughes (the President) recommending that distributors lose their excess weight if they want to talk to others about losing weight and STOP SMOKING. Herbalife is a health company, not just a weight control company. We sold products for cellular nutrition to feed the body so it was totally contradictory to our purpose to smoke. Thing is that many smokers do not realise that they stink. If a smoker sits next to me, I have to move. It is no use just rinsing their mouth with water or chewing gum - their clothes and hair stink.
Is continuing to smoke relevant to personal development? Of course it is. PD is about learning and growing to be the best you can and conquering your demons and weaknesses. Choosing to poison yourself and pollute other people's air is most definitely a weakness.
