No Time Is The Right Time To Quit Smoking

There really isn’t a magical time to quit smoking. Smokers tend to put off quitting with excuses of life’s stresses and other things of that nature.

Making the decision to kick your nicotine habit can be scary and overwhelming.  Some of the withdrawal symptoms a smoker goes through in the first couple of days of quitting can be enough to push them into having another cigarette.

Stop kidding yourself and get your butt in gear…it’s time to quit for good!

If you’re a smoker or you live with a smoker, you’re probably familiar with every excuse in the book.  Smokers often claim to be too stressed or complain of how they will deal with the stresses in life once they stop smoking. 

Many smokers are notorious for putting off quitting until some life event is over with or until life is less stressful.  For those of us who are non-smokers, these excuses become old after a while, because we all know that there are a lot of people in this world who deal with stress and life’s changes without the aid of nicotine. 

Let’s be honest, no one was born smoking a cigarette.  In fact, smoking a cigarette is nasty and it often sends us into a coughing fit the first couple of times we do it.  So it amazes me that anyone would put themselves through that long enough to become addicted to smoking cigarettes.  The only thought I can come up with is that people are idiots.  Not to be too rude and judgmental, but well, I’m feeling rude and judgmental.

The people who make me the angriest are the people who began smoking as adults.  It’s my opinion that by the time you reach adulthood, it’s time for you to grow up and be an adult instead of pretending to be an adult by acting like a smoking big shot. 

Smokers like to be surrounded by other smokers.  They want people who don’t smoke to smoke so they can see how fantastic it is.  The pressure to bring someone into “the smoker’s club” seems to be an overwhelming act amongst the smoking society. 

The truth is that there is no perfect or easy time to quit.  Even if you’re one of the very few human beings in this life who has no stress in their life (I don’t believe people like this exist), it’s going to be just as hard as if your life was full of stress.  In fact, the act of making such a life change with symptoms and side effects of nicotine withdrawal is very likely to create an amazing amount of stress on not only your life, but the people’s lives around you too. 

Remember when you first started smoking how you had to get used to it?  Well, you’re going to have to get through the negative stuff that comes with the first couple of days of not taking nicotine into your system.  You were grown up enough to start smoking and to get through the coughing, now be grown up enough to quit.
