What's Your Anti Smoke?

A great friend is someone who cares about you and looks out for your best interests.

Composer Geoff Sheil is that type of friend. He's created his own "What's Your Anti Smoke?" musical composition for his friends Ivana Munćan and Milena Buča, in a desperate effort to curb their pervasive smoking habit. We could all use more friends like him.

Willpower: One Of Your Greatest Tools

We all have willpower abilities contained within our minds. But, it's more developed in some people than in others. Willpower can be described as that little voice in the back of your head motivating you to take that first step towards quitting smoking. And a well-developed willpower strategy can be an important part of any overall plan to quit.

Some smokers have the ability to use their willpower to quit their addiction to nicotine cold-turkey. Most do not. However if you combine well-developed willpower strategies with scientific and other evidence based methods, you greatly improve your chances to quit smoking permanently.

Willpower can be added to any plan. It is the ability to talk ourselves out of smoking and in to staying a non-smoker when a craving comes along. Like a muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets.

A Hard Habit To Break

What's almost as hard as quitting smoking for yourself? Having to break-up with your lover because he or she refuses to attempt to quit smoking for themselves. Although often necessary in protecting your own health, dumping a nicotine-addicted lover is a hard habit to break.

But, as I've touched upon in a previous post, smoking has been a factor in ruining many relationships for years. Again, don't just take my word for it. They've been writing songs about it ever since Chicago caught on fire. See for yourself -

Tobacco Price Manipulation

By manipulating smokers behind their backs, tobacco price manipulation (pdf), also known as price-related marketing, refers to the tobacco industry’s efforts to recruit and retain smokers by artificially lowering the price of cigarettes.

People who are trying to quit, and price-sensitive groups like youth and low-income communities, are often targeted by, and fall victim to, these pricing schemes.
