Yes You Can Series


I certainly would not tell you to expect a relapse, but the fact is that one out of three people who are trying to quit experience relapses. This is something that happens within the first three months when one is trying to quit smoking.

Now if at all you experience a relapse understand that there is nothing to feel bad about. It is quite a natural phenomenon. But just because it happened, do not let it get the better f you.

All you have to do is start the quitting process all over again and believe me you will be stronger this time because you know what to look out for.

Remember these facts:

• Tobacco is the single largest cause of oral and lung cancer.

• Use of tobacco leads to conditions like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation in men

Pregnant women/new mothers. If you continue to smoke you are increasing the chances of giving birth to a baby who has congenital disabilities and diseases. By quitting, you protect your baby’s health and your own.

• Hospitalized patients. By quitting, you reduce health problems and help healing.

• Heart attack patients. If you continue to smoke you are increasing your chances of a second heart attack.

Lung, head, and neck cancer patients. If you continue to smoke you increase your chances of a second cancer.

• Parents of children and adolescents. By smoking, you expose your children and adolescents to illnesses caused by second-hand smoke.

Well, so what are you waiting for? The choice is yours. There are so many things that you can do with this life of yours. And isn’t it a pity to waste it at the end of a cigarette. It is no wonder that George Bernard Shaw once said that a cigarette is a roll of paper that has fire at one end and a fool at the other.

I hope this guide will help you in your quest to STOP being the fool.

Now that You have Quit Smoking - You have a Choice

You realize with a shiver how close to death you were and you thank your lucky stars and the forces that formed you for giving you the will power to get over the addiction.

You are now free to start your life all again. And this time there will be no mistakes. Life is too precious a gift to waste it at the end of a cigarette.

Do not underestimate your self. You are perfectly capable of having a good time, or maybe I should say a wonderful time even without the help of any external stimulant. You can work as hard as you want and you can go through stressful situations; believe me your body can take it.

Understand that you do have a choice so choose wisely and live life to the fullest. Once you get over the habit you will realize how different conditions are than when you used t smoke.

You will realize how it feels to no longer be dependent on tobacco.
