Is Planning to Quit Smoking Just Procrastination?

A recent study, reported in the British Medical Journal, found that quitting smoking spontaneously is best. The scientists questioned nearly 2,000 current and ex-smokers about how they quit smoking. Nearly half indicated they quit spontaneously. The studied also revealed that those who quit smoking spontaneously were 50 to 60 percent more likely to be successful.

Quitting Smoking Requires Decisiveness

I smoked 1.5 packs of cigarettes a day for ten years before quitting spontaneously. About ten years later, I started smoking again and continued to smoke for about a year before quitting spontaneously again. I truly believe that quitting smoking requires making a decision to quit and just doing it at that very moment.

Are You Ready to Quit Smoking?

Planning to quit sometime in the future is just a way of delaying what you honestly do not want to do or are not ready to do - quit smoking. Sure, you may want to quit smoking, in that you want to be healthy and not worry about lung diseases and other illnesses and diseases related to smoking, but if you're planning to quit rather than just doing it now, chances are you're not ready to quit smoking.

Quitting Smoking Isn't About Trying

It's a state of mind. You must set it in your mind that you are going to quit smoking now. Trying to quit doesn't work. How many times have you heard someone say, "I tried to quit, but I couldn't". That's because they "tried" - they didn't make up their mind that they would quit smoking now.
