Smoking Demons in the ear whome wont let go...

Over in Yahoo I answered a question for a would be Quitter. My answer was chosen as the best overall in that lot for

Quit Smoking.

There are demons who influence us. It is our demons whome we've created long time ago without realising that we have created them. It is time to say:

DEMONS! Begone to SOurce, NOW!

Say it with enough intend and drive them away as you feel the energy you put forward to send them to their home.

Here's my answer from Yahoo answers to the question:

hi..i am 25 years old and i have been smoking since i was 14..it has been many years..everyone tells me i should quit smoking..but the problem is that i am very very ugly..i couldnt find a girlfriend if i was alone in a room full of 100 women..trust me my face looks like gary busey and im overweight..i have acne scars..i have pretty much no money..i have a feeling i will live my life alone..yet ppl say "why dont you quit, dont u know you will live longer?" the thing is, i dont want to live into my 70's..smoking is one of the few satisfactions i find in my life..i now cancer is painful..i witnessed my grandmom die from it..but i dont want to live long and smoking decreases my chances of suffering for 80 years..im sorry if this depresses you, but in my world, life sucks! why should i quit smoking

Here's what I had to say...

Yeh right.

The only thing you're lacking is self-confidence.

Stop criticizing yourself, stop listening to people telling you how you look.

Ge tin shape, do some sport, people who are serious about partners go beyond looking at facial features of a person.

Stop comparing yourself to Brad Pitt, Tom Cru... etc

No one is born perfect.

Everyone has a gift,

everyone has atleast one thing wrong with them.

Get your self into "self Help" books.

Go for it. You're young and too self criticizing. Stop that!

You have a world in front of you to make something worthwhile - it is a challenge even to a normal looking fella to look into life and try to make something out of it,

MOST IMPORTANT:

STOP EATING JUNK, get on a diet and eat plenty of fresh food that will boost your confidence,
There is a saying:

You are wht you eat!

and QUIT SMOKING!

THESE 2 things cause lots of darkness to envelope oneself and bring in demons that yap yap into ones ears 24x7.

The Will to quit Smoking

There is a fundamental problem for smokers and until they have overcome that one fundamental problem they cannot quit smoking.

That fundament problem is the ability of oneself to have a WILL to quit smoking. Ones will to quit smoking is controlled by many factors as written above.

Smoking is no different to any other addiction - it is life food - if you have a favorite food can you tell yourself to quit eating that for good. Well, it is hard unless one has a control over ones will.

Control you will and don't give it away and you're home sweet home. A home run!

It's that, a simple thing as a will.

--------------------------------------
People don't realize that their will
stands on their way of succeeding
in quitting smoking.
--------------------------------------

There you have it.

Every problem in the UNIVERSE has a simple solution.

God never meant to make things hard for us and complicated.

It's MAN MADE.

Smoking for 2 years? Can it be cancer?

A question was posed asking if you can get lung cancer after smoking just for 2 years.

Here's what I think.

Cancer is not written down just because you're smoking. Nothing is set in concrete and one cannot assume after so many years you will get a lung cancer.

Smoking with poor diet (food) will increase the likelihood of getting cancer much earlier then that would have with good diet.

Listen, it usually takes a good 10 years before smoking really screws you up. But it's not to say that you can just quit after 10 years.

You see lung cancer is the final result of the many years of your body being poisoned slowly day by day.

The minute you light a cigarette you do damage to your lungs. It is the build up of those years that eventuall cause cancer. But some people will develop lung cancer far earlier.

If you have a strong will then it is time that you decide what's good for your future.

If you think you have symptoms of lung cancer then you can also reverse it, especially if you're young. You can start eating healthy food to boost your immune system.

Eat lots of green vegetables and fresh fruits and juice. Stay away from acidic food and stick to all things that are categorized as alcoline.

Here's a place to start you on the right direction http://healing-cafe.com/diet/

What role dose diet play in a smokers life?

Smoking not only deteriorates ones life but it also gives you bad
health. The bad health also affects how you eat and drink that also
adds further deterioration in ones life.

Smokers build all sorts of nasty side affects and one of these is high
blood pressure. Your blood pressure is not affected directly by smoking
but by the foods that go with smoking. Life drinking and eating fast
foods etc.

If you have high blood pressure then you should really do something
about the habit of smoking.

If you're unable to quit smoking for now you can try these other
necessity of life things:

Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits.
Stop eating processed foods
Stop drinking too much alcohol
Remove soft-drinks from diet
and drink plenty of water and fresh juices for a while.

Living healthy:
extends your life span
and keeps you energetic
and young

compared to non-healthy eating and unhealthy lifestyles.

Should we Outlaw Smoking?

I am totally against smoking but we should not outlaw it nor put any laws stopping any person from indulging themselves in smoking.

No, we should not outlaw or make it against the law for people to smoke.

I am a non-smoker.

Like all things - there shouldn't be anything against the law unless we hurt somebody.

Smoking is like food in a way. When someone has enough of it they can't let it go.

What we should really do is make Cigarette companies accountable for the "****" they put into smoking.

Cigarettes are not 100% tobacco. They are mixed with many chemicals that are added deliberately by tobacco companies to inflict disease and addiction.

The same companies that manufacture cigarettes also manufacture pharmaceutical drugs is gross.

So, the answer is, we should not outlaw smoking. We should outlaw the making of cigarettes unlawfully.

Smoking is bad for you though. That's for sure.

Quiting Naturally with Oxygen

People who smoke and think that they are feeling good after smoking a cigarette are tricking themselves into believing that cigarettes make you feel good couldn't be futher than the truth.

SMOKING IS SMOKE SCREEN to FEELING GOOD.

The words in it themselves tells it. It is a smoke for Christ Sake!

Yes, indeed it's ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL. All smoking is psychological to a great extant.

Your emotions play the games and your will succumbs to it.
Control your will and you will controll all your lifes problems.

Smoking doesn't make you feel good. It is the ACT of doing smoking that makes you feel good. It is not the smoke or the taste or the smoke that enters that make your feel good.

Feeling good and feeling bad or any feeling for that matter of fact stems from the brain/mind. You have total control of it but for reasons unknown you fall under the spell of life sucking bad food and habits.

Your feelings are all created in the mind.
Instead of smoking do this just prior for a minute:

Take long deep breaths - hold it for few seconds and then exhale slowly for long as you can. You are getting energy from the the oxygen deep into your lungs that are full of life giving force and at the same time exhaling the much that come out of your lungs. Do about 5 of these and you will feel better.

Now, let me ask you did you take any external products of any kind within this minute - NO, ofcourse not. The only thing that's required to energize you and make you feel full and happy is OXYGEN.

Propper breathing is another method to kick the habit. Try it and you will see changes in your health.

Why do we smoke? What is the solution?

You try to quit, you do it, and in no time you come back on it.

Have you asked yourself why this is happening.

You're obviously quiting but you come back for some reason.

There is a reason for this and that has nothing to do with being unable to quit and staying quit. It is to do with your will and your emotions. Your emotions control your life. Take control of your emotions and you will take control of your smoking habits.

Smoking is really a substitute for your emotional downs and it relieves them temporarily. That is the reason why you started in the first place. Ask yourself what it solves by smoking.

You're probably having anxiety moments in your life that push you back into smoking.


Solve your emotional problems and you will solve your smoking habits/addiction. It is that simple.

The solution is usually simpler than what you think, but humans have grown numb they look for complex solutions to simple problems.

You see smoking is a simple problem because it is easy to start and get yourself addicted to it in no time. The reasons are clear and simple. Your emotions as I said above. Control your emotions and you will end up controlling your life to a better life.

This is a must see video for all you smokers out there. If this bloke can do it so can you.

Smoking while pregnant increases the risk of developing heart defects in unborn child

Smoking is bad for let alone smoking during a pregnancy. New studies show the risk of developing heart disease in unborn child is not only horrific but also can be avoided.

Smoking increases the risk of heart defects among babies whose mothers smoke during the first trimester.

An Utah researcher has found women who had babies with certain heart defects were more likely to have smoked in early pregnancy.


The risk of birth defects is highest for women who smoked more than 25 cigarettes a day.

It is no wonder that we have more children born of diseases then ever in the history of mankind. Yet we continue creating new humans that will end up in medical ques looking for a doctor to cure them and all along a life full of agony could have been avoided only if the the mother of the person was sensible enough to look after herself and her unborn child during and directly after pregnancy.

Confused about Smoking Addiction

Here's a question from a Young smoker at "Yahoo Answers":

Smoking bad ?!?
why do people find smoking so much worse than alcohol.i'm sixteen and ive come home drunk lots of timesand my parents know but they don't make a big dealTHEY FIND ONE STOG and they go nutswtf.this is so stupid i dont smoke on a regular basis i just had it cuz i was going to smoke it but im not addicted or anything;alsdjf;lsakdjf;laskjdf


Because smoking is puplicized more than alcohol. With alcohol you can kill others but with smoking you will kill yourself. That's the main reasoning behind it.

Also, YOUR PARENTS THINK ABOUT YOU - in a way that is their way of saying we LOVE YOU. Each parent is different and some sit down and explain things where as others would go start from the deep end by getting angry.

Treat people who talk with anger as being unable to communicate their feelings in a loving way. That's all.

Also, parents know a lot more than there children when it comes to smoking. So be a great kid and just listen to them and see what they have to say, give them a chance to express themselves.

The lessons of life are in many places and in this occassion you both will benefit by giving each other a chance to hear the other side out. Look at it this way in a few years down the track none of this would matter.

You are living your history.

Change your history to create your perfect future.

The choices we make today affect us in our future lives.

Addiction is mostly a psychological thing. It is the pychological barrier one needs to pass before becoming addicted.

The will has to be strong in order to not be addicted to smoking.

Parents Smoking next to children

Recently I was over at Yahoo answers answering a question for a concerned parent about her husband smoking next to their 14 year old step son. Here's the story and my reply.

Dad smoking cigars w/ 14 y.o son?
I am wondering what other people think about a situation. We know that my step son whom is 14 that we are raising has smoked cigarettes for a couple years now. Recently my husband whom smokes cigars has began to smoke with him outside of course...I think that it is wrong and it is encouraging my son to smoke more. My son's counsellor does not really approve of it, but told me to leave this one alone because my husband and my step son are having some much needed bonding time out side when they do this. My step son will not stop smoking anyways, but I just think it is wrong. What do you think?

My Answer was like this:


Yes, indeed a tough one. It has always been the parents jobs to be a role model for their children.

A 14 year old does not necessarily know the real consequences of smoking and if he did then he surely is not paying any attention to it's consequences in later life.We all know smoking does not kill you straight away but in time it will do the damage. In this situation the husband should be told (by you ofcourse or by some other authority with respect) not to smoke in the presence of the child by setting an example for the child. This would be the best choice for both the father and the child and ofcourse you as well who is also a passive smoker if your husband smokes near you.

We learn from others by duplicating their behaviours and using them as role models. The job here is for your husband to start realizing that smoking is unhelathy and the best time to end the addiction.

This is a moment and a chance for your husband to kick the habit by hitting 3 birds with one stone.As I said you're the 3rd smoker in the sense that you probably smoke passively.

Goodluck with your life and emphasize to your husband that he needs to realize the responsibilities of being a parent. The feelings of being a parent are much greater than the feeling one gets from smoking. Greater good awaits your family.Cheers.

Dreadful Statistics on Smoking

Smoking kills many people each year than any other disease.

90% of lung cancer deaths 80%-90% of emphysema and chronic bronchitis deaths are attributed to smoking.

On average 1 out of 4 men and 1 out of 5 women smoke.

Roughly 1.3 billion people in the world that smoke not to mention those other countless number of people who are secondary smokers (people who breath in the smoke of others). About 1/5 of all young people will end up smoking.

It is currently responsible for approximately 5million deaths each year. If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2030. Half the people that smoke today -thatis about 650 million people - will eventually be killed by tobacco smoking.
5 Million divided by 365x24x60 = 9.5 people each minute.

It is estimated that tobacco causes 8.8 percent of deaths globally. Thatis the equivalent to roughly 5 million people per year or 13,500 per day or 9.5 per minute.

Over 15 billion cigarettes are smoked worldwide daily. The World HealthOrganization estimates that there are approximately 1.3 billion regular smokersin the world, about one-third of the global population aged 15 years andolder.

Tobacco costs the global economy $200 billion (U.S. dollars) annually. So no tobacco company are going to shut down to save lives, not in anyones life time anyway.

Nutritional Facts about Smoking and Health

To quit smoking is possible only by reducing the acidity of our body. Reducing the acidity of the body leeds to a better healthy body.

What increases our body acidity?

There are many factors but the main factor that cause acidity in our blood is the consumption of the wrong types of food, alcohol, drugs and the air that enter the human blood stream through the lungs.

Another main factor that plays a role in preventing smoking is having faith.

Careful research shows that people who have faith and perform their prayers like religious people, causes ones mind to indulge in more positive thoughts.

Praying throws the negative feelings from the human brain, and keeps you self confident thus prevents nervousness. Because smoking is seen as a negative habit and considered in some places on earth as poison, a praying person feels better and needs not indulge in smoking.

What about refined foods and too much of meat?

Any consumption of meat increases the acidity of our body.

By consuming natural foods and less meat your body will be well balanced.


Refined foods are another nutritional food that one should be aware of:


White flour products like white sandwiches, pizzas and cakes have almost no nutritional value and contain various chemical ingredients so as to have a better appearance, and full filling feeling.

Instead of white wheat buy the whole wheat bread for making your own bread and pizza.

White rice:

polished rice without bran also loses all the vitamins, minerals and causes acidity in our metabolism. A better option is using natural branned rice.

White sugar:

Sugar and its derivatives like chocolates, ice creams, puddings and cakes are subject to many chemical applications untill they become refined and granulated which in turn cause acidity in the blood.

Natural sugars exists in most fruits, some vegetables, and legumes. We can obtain natural sugars from legumes ,cereals, fruits and vegetables.

Ready made vinegars, tomato pastes, soups, puddings, pickles, tinned vegetables are all non natural foods. They lack the energy needed to sustain a healthy body and mind.

These types of processed foods have a high content of preservatives that add to the acidity in the blood.

Margarines, refined edible oils are also in its application are unnatural and shouldn't really be consumed. Because of the refining processes like bleaching, deodorising and additives they end up very unnatural and not worthy of classifying them as food.

Best alternative oils are cold pressed olive oil. Naturally occuring oils found in sesame seeds, coconut, groundnut, hazelnuts, peanuts, and walnuts can supplement all those processed foods. These oils are not only healthy they also taste better when added to your food.

One should eat Avocado or peanut butter to supplement oneself in place of dairy butter products.

Note that an inbalance of PH level in the blood causes diseases to start.
Some bacteria and virus flourish in acidic blood and thus anything that causes acidity in the blood should be avoided.

Instead of Tea, coffee, processed drinks like cordials, alcohol also increases the acidity of the blood.
We should aim to drink more natural filtered water, natural mineral water, herbal teas and fresh fruit juices.

All types of meat add to the acidity of the blood and meat should be consumed sparingly.

There are altrenatives to obtaining proteins in ones diet instead of meat. Soybeans, legumes, beans, lentils, and eggs from hens not kept in captivity have natural occurring proteins that can add great taste and healthy giving properties to the human body.

Too much consumption of animal products makes our body tired and sick and cause too much acidity in the blood. Too much acidity also kills our own blood cells that need to keep the whole system within in a natural state of equilibrium. Our immune system is compromised when our blood becomes acidic.

Quiting smoking is not easy but it is possible if you give it a try.
If you follow a good diet based on natural foods and very minimal intake of processed and fast foods then you can quit to a better life.

This is great - it is short and thought provoking. Any dude can quit smoking. Please leave your comment once you see the video and tell us what you think.

Real People who are Quiting Smoking

Here's some links here that show real people quiting smoking.


A great guy Scottie Young and has a blog: http://skottieyoung.blogspot.com/2008/01/something-is-missing.html

Quit Smoking

I'm juming here into the deap about SMOKING!

Is it that hard to quit smoking?

Can it be done?

Can one will oneself into believing that it is easy to quit?

Will one stay off cigarettes once quiting?

How many times does it take to quit smoking?

Shit the list goes on and on.

You see the hardest thing about quiting smoking is really

BELIEVING IN YOURSELF TO QUIT SMOKING.

So if you can persuade the only person, that is you to quit smoke and no one else then the job is basically a done deal.

The only idiot one has to persuade to quit is you!

Well persuading oneself is the hardest thing on this planet to do for those who are not smart and bright. If you're smart and bright then you can do it. Every person who reads these words is an intelligent being. That means you!

You are bright and smart since you have come here to learn to quit smoking.

Persuade one person in your life and the work is done 100% for good. You just have to work only only on one person in the whole wide world. YOU!

Cravings, addiction, all the other terms that describe ones addiction is all psychological. If we give our POWER to the cravings then we are giving away our WILL to make our own decisions in life. In other words, we are giving ourselfs to other things or other people to tell us what to do and not do in life. Don't let others decide for you, START deciding for yourself and make those healthy decisions for your body and your health.
