It is Worth the Pain to Stop Smoking

For many ex-smokers the biggest side effect of giving up smoking is weight gain. Opinions differ as to whether this is due to a change in the body's metabolism or the fact that the person eats more to fill the time they used to spend smoking. My personal belief is that it is a combination of the two. In the early months of stopping smoking I did not have a significant weight gain and I did not think that I was particularly eating more either.


However as time went by, a the kilos crept on and two years later I was 10 kgs heavier. This, for me is a mild disappointment compared to how happy I am that I no longer have any desire (five years on) to smoke a cigarette. Owning a restaurant and bar in a country that still allows smoking in restaurant without there even being a partition between the smoking section and the non-smoking areas, means that cigarette smoke is a part of every day life until we sell!


However, I can honestly say that, although I would prefer not to spend all day being a passive smoker, I can sympathise with those who still smoke.


I rarely get on my soap box about it unless I am talking to young (18 - 35) year olds.


Not that I consider myself old (43) by any means, but I do feel a sense of regret that I succumbed to the habit, publicly puffing away and thereby encouraging the habit in others.


I suppose at least I can feel some sense of payback for that, now that I am encouraging others to stop!

Your encouragement to other smokers to stop smoking will allow them to realize that the pain involved with quitting smoking is worth it. I would also like to add that having a days addiction cure program can help but determination will always make the difference.

Smoking takes a toll on your health but it is one of the most powerful addiction. When I decided to quit i was worried about it that is it possible to quit instantly, and does it has side affects like weight gain etc. but then I was advised by my friend to use Nicorette which has 12 week nicotine replacement therapy and NICORETTE Gum has been clinically proven to help you control your weight in this tough period. And So today I'm proud of being Smoke free So friends decide to quit and Nicorette will help you. Link : https://www.nicorette.in/successful-quitting/weight-control
