Quick-thinking on cigarettes

Unfortunately I'll have to stop smoking in a few days or weeks somehow or other. What i'm doing here is convincing myself smoking is a bad thing...

Just a little bit of mathematics :
- 4 years of smoking
- 5 to 10 minutes spent smoking per cigarette
- between 4 and 10 cigarettes per day
=> between 8 and 40 days have already gone up in smoke !!

Moreover my health expectancy and my life expectancy are getting lower and lower cig after cig... and risks of contracting lung cancer or heart disease are increased. " Where there's smoke there's fire. "

Smoking smells, dries out skin, turns nails and teeth yellow, tires eyes, increases blood pressure and heart frequency, pollutes lungs, mouth and throat, and repulses non-smokers.

The new french law about pubs and smoking is a great idea :
*** before the law, when I was going to a bar, I used to drink a beer and smoke a cig with a second beer
*** now, I smoke before entering into the pub, I drink half a pint of beer and I don't drink anything else because it makes me yearning for a cig... so I go back to home and smoke in the car...

At the moment, I'm reducing the number of cigarettes I smoke per day in order to stop smoking...
In fact, I took my last cig on February the 6th... and sometimes it's really hard...
I can't say I'll never smoke a good old cigare with a whyskey but... smoking almost ten cigarettes per day and sampling a tasty cigare are two different things !




Good luck to my foreign fellow smokers...




See Ya !!!
