Here's some quotes I found about quitting smoking --
"The key is focusing on the positive. Build up the good things in
your life and the smoking will go away by itself."
- anonymous smoker
"Even at the hardest times I never doubted the whole thing was
going to be a totally positive experience."
- successful ex-smoker
"If people don't love themselves enough to cut down on their smoking,
they may love someone else enough to do it."
- anonymous smoker
"Sometimes I just sit in front of a mirror and watch myself inhaling
that poison gas. If I was in a concentration camp and someone tried
to make me do that, I'd want to kill them."
- anonymous smoker
"Even with the best preplanning quitting is an extremely unsettling
experience. It may feel as if somebody dropped a bomb on your life."
- anonymous smoker
"Seven out of 10 people don't smoke and of those who do, seven out of
10 want to give up."
- Scottish Health Minister Andy Kerr
1,000+ smokers die each day from tobacco-related diseases
"Cigarette smoking is clearly identified as the chief, preventable
cause of death in our society."
- C. Everett Koop, former Surgeon General
"Many lives can be saved by strengthening tobacco control measures --
cigarette taxes, counter-advertising, smoking bans, linguistically
and culturally appropriate smoking prevention measures, and quit-smoking
programs."
- Bruce N. Leistikow, associate professor of public health sciences
and a leading expert on smoking-related illnesses
"Habit is stronger than reason." - George Sanayana
"Exercise can't counteract the damage being done to your body
while you continue to smoke. What exercise can do is help you
kick the habit."
- Kenneth H. Cooper, MD
"Fortunately, theres more than one way to quit smoking. . . the
catch is you must choose wisely to become smoke-free."
- Arthur A. Hawkins II
