   Posted on 12:42pm Saturday 7th Mar 2015

   On the 11th March it will be National No Smoking Day.

   Is it time that you gave up the habit for good?

   As the years roll on attitudes towards smoking change a great deal. What was once seen as glamorous and exciting we now know to be awful for your health, and your wealth.

   National No Smoking day aims to highlight the fact that you can get help to stop smoking, it isn't something that you need to do alone.

   There is a government website that offers help and advice here: https://nosmokingday.org.uk/

   Using willpower alone can be very tough. I gave up through hypnotherapy myself many years ago, and at one time I was smoking up to 60 a day! I wasn't always setting fire to that many but the one thing that was with me was that I always really fancied one when I had a drink or after a nice meal with a coffee.

   Does that sound familiar?I couldn't imagine a time when that wasn't the case....now I can't imagine a time when I would ever have another. urrgh..!
   

   The good news is that however you decide to give up you can look forward to a brighter future, smelling much better and being able to taste your food. You can save a fortune and then spend it on the things that you really want to treat yourself with. Of course, just thinking about how much better your health will be is also a great start.

   If you would like some more free advice and support to quit smoking, there is lots more information here: http://www.markpowlett.co.uk/quitsmoking.html

   Take just a few moments to think about how your life would be if you were a non smoker.....if you think it would be better then perhaps now it is time to do something about it!  Good luck and enjoy your smoke free future.

2. E-Cigarettes article that seems like a Charlie Brooker Black Mirror episode

   Posted on 10:46am Saturday 13th Dec 2014

   This article in The Guardian today reads like an espisode of the dark comedy drama series Black Mirror created by writer Charlie Brooker.

   Here's the link to it. It's a long article but well worth having a read after you read this, especially if you disagree, and it may change the way that you see smoking e-cigs..

   Personally, I do wish people wouldn't say they quit smoking when they smoke e-cigs.

   Think about it like this if you can....If you moved from giving your money to one company to inhale toxins to the same thing with a different company then it isn't really quitting. 

    

   How would you describe smoking to a child?

    

   Well, you could say you pay for something that you then breathe in which gives you a hit of toxins. Now, isn't that the same for e-cigarettes? What do your children think when they see it?

   It seems that e-cigs are becoming an excuse for people who don't really want to stop smoking. It's almost as if smoking e cigarettes is seen as a charitable thing and the manufacturers want to help. They don't want you to stop smoking, they want you to smoke their products, otherwise they wouldn't need the fancy marketing and all those flavours to keep you coming back. Start to think about is as still smoking and then that may help you if you really do want to become a non smoker.

   In the meantime if you pay money for something that you put in your mouth all the time and inhale that is full of toxins then perhaps it's time you stopped saying you gave up smoking.
