Default Re: I want to quit smoking but i fail everytime

For those of you trying to quit, you're doing a good job! Take it day by day, step by step. I've been following this thread and there's a lot of support for you here! You know that saying, "2 steps forward, 1 step back." It might happen and you might take a step back. But shake it off, start over and take the next 2 steps forward and soon when you look back, you'll actually be way ahead from the last time. I may not know what it's like to quit smoking because I am not a smoker (I have asthma), but I know people who have tried to quit or are trying to quit. Whoever you do it for, make sure you do it for yourself too.

I'll apologize now for what I'm going to share. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) here in the US started a new approach this year to increase awareness of the dangers of smoking. It's a shock campaign. There's been mixed reviews but most can say that it's been startling and to me, it's graphic and shocking to see. I never thought I'd see this on TV. I think it sends a strong message and it's one that can't be ignored.

Take a look. Lmk what you think. Maybe this will help give you that extra nudge to quit.
