The Best Way To End Smoking Is The Natural Way

The writer of the article has been a life long smoker from Europe. After immigrating to the US, and being detected with asthma, nearing her middle age, she was trying to quit smoking approximately on daily basis, but all of the efforts unhappily did not succeed. Nicotine gum and patches didn't work for her, therefore she contacted her surgeon, who registered her in a program and prescribed pills, but that didn't her her quit smoking either. What she discovered was that a severe change of routine worked good in her case. Something funny came to to a very serious matter recommends that everyone wants to get what works efficiently for them, as well-known "one size fits all" approach never makes everybody satisfied.

In the first person: I was born 40 something years ago in Europe, with a cigarette in my mouth. My parents smoked, my relatives smoked, my friends smoked. My father is 82 and still a chain smoker. Smoking is an unavoidable part of cultural habits, meeting people, and having excitement. For a culture that lives on streets full of cafes, smoking is not optional, it's almost compulsory.

I was 13 when I got addicted on cigarettes, enough to start budgeting part of my everyday allowance for cigarettes. Mind you, I wasn't an outsider, a straight A learner, from a wealthy academic family, I was truly trying to fit in. At that point, and even many years later, trying to stop smoking was not even in the back of my mind. It will take me 30 more years to get to that point.

Novelist by profession, smoking was very much a part of my everyday routine. It was precisely like it used to be in the old black and white movies - me, the typewriter, and the big ashtray with the cigarette butts piled up high. Soon after I moved to the US, the problems with my smoking ensued. They were not only of social nature any longer; they became a health concern also. Not only did I move to the Bay Area, California, which was the undeniable leader in the witch look for smokers, I was analyzed with asthma.

I may say from that moment on, 15 years ago, I was trying to quit smoking on an everyday basis. There was by now a severe change in place for me - I couldn't smoke at my office any more and I had to time my smoking habits according to the office agenda. It was tougher at home because my colleague, an American, was a smoker also.

We decided to just smoke outside the home. That didn't work at all, since, alas, it's California, the climate is pleasant year around, so we both ended up merely sleeping in the house, while living, eating, having friends over on the back yard terrace. It's astounding with how much yard work you can invent - our postage stamp sized back yard became more akin to jungle with heirloom tomatoes, tea roses, sweet peas, and citrus trees.

I finally quit smoking cold turkey. Two years afterward, with a new lease on life, I'm proud to say - I haven't had a cigarette since. I realize it very well: once an addict, forever an addict and I had my share of night sweats, nightmares, unstoppable shivers, uncontrollable crying. But I can always say it was resulted by my divorce drama, not nicotine. Every now and then, during lunch break in the financial area, I stop by somebody smoking in front of their office building. Second hand smoke still smells so nice.
