Will you quit smoking for your loved ones? I know that smokers know about the bad effects of smoking to the health. With all the educational campaigns of the Ministry of Health I guess only an idiot will not know. Yet smoking seem to be less harmful because the physical effect are not immediately obvious like alcohol or drugs. Somehow I have taken it my personal mission to try and persuade someone to quit smoking in every opportunity I can. I don't want to mention the effect of smoking on the body because many authorities have done that again and again but it doesn't work. I have taken this as my personal mission since my late husband suffered from lung cancer. Talking from experience the smokers are not the only victims of this grave addiction but as much as their family or people who love them. Allow me to make a comparison to explain how people who love you feel. Lend me your imagination, make it as vivid as you can. Then you can understand what I'm talking about here. Imagine the cigarette manufacturers are all big gang or empire or mafia whatever you may call them. They have people all over selling and promoting their products. Enticing you with your last drop of money to buy their products. Their bouncers or army are always on the watch and try to stop all those who attempt to persuade you to quit. Including people who love you. Imagine every time your love ones tell you to stop smoking, their hands are held and mouth gag by the gangsters and what do you do? Nothing you just ignore them. Yet your loved ones do't stop asking you to quit until such time it get so bad and you get out of control. Your love ones tries harder but the more they try the harder it gets. Their hands are held , mouth gagged and now slapped in the face or kicked in the gut every time they tell you to please stop. OUCH! What do you do? Nothing, you turn your back and ignore them. Then it get worse you get the cancer, this time it is too late. Your body was beaten by the cancer and your loved ones black, blue and down from all the emotional beatings. Yet they stick with you look after you when you are very sick. What do you do? Perhaps this time you quit or maybe not. This time around your love ones may not care about your quitting bcoz its too late. Your love ones will now be busy looking after you and perhaps finding money and cure for you. They may have given up asking you to quit but yet not given up on you. The gangster , the mafia, the armies ah, they finally leave. Leaving your love ones emotionally bruised and now has to fight another emotional, physical and financial battle for you. What do you do? Nothing you can do at this time. You will be gone soon but the emotional trauma you will leave behind your love ones stay for a while not to mention financial burden. What can you do now? Quit that's it! PLEASE QUIT NOW, DON'T LET THESE CIGARETTE ARMY BEAT YOUR LOVE ONES [/SIZE “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |

Hi Maia, Thanks for visiting and commenting. There are actually many different things one can try to help them but the most important factor and sometimes the only one needed is motivation. If there's no motivation everything else will fail. “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.”
