I was a smoker since I was 12 years old and quit 16 years later. Believe me, please do not try it. Once you are addicted, it is very difficult to quit. I have tried and managed to quit after the third attempts.

Well, to be honest, I’m not a smoker yet. I think the best way to quit smoking is never try. 


My piece of advice is that if you want to try, it would be better never try, but if you are a smoker, you just have to have a lot of willpower and say that is too bad for my health and not just for my, it affect to my friends and family how is near of me

I had been smoking for 5 years until I graduated the university and left the student camp. It was easy for me to quit smoking, maybe I wasn’t a real smoker.

For many ppl, to stop smoking means to decrease the anxiety, distress or calm down for a while, but the damage in health is extremely serious….


It seems that the cigarette is your only friend in troubles, and the only one who understand you, but be sure, it will bill the invoice very expensive trhough ur body when the time passes.


Among others, the cigarette contains:
acetone, methanol, nicotine, carbon monoxide, tar, mercury, lead, butane, phenol, ammonia, and arsenic (poison).


For example, the tar sticks to the lungs, the skin loses its smoothness and becomes rough, the theeth turn in yellow, the hair and eyes lose their shine, besides, the alveolos are not renewable… If you smoke you will have cancer, and even u could get death.Frown

Mainly, It’s a big mistake to start smoking with the exact awareness of its dangers for our health and for people around us.



For me, I’ve never smoked and I’ll never do that for my life. 



For those who still smoke, I think they must quit smoking as quickly as they can and by trying every helping way with that and I can see so many helping ways to lead them to quit , but surely they can’t do that without a strong willpower from inside.

Thaking God since today I haven’t had healthy problems.


Perhaps one day I’ll give up as I’ve already done in the past, but for now I don’t feel ready for this.

I agree that smoking is bad for health and I never try to smoke.


But sometimes I envy smokers.


Due to smoking area is limited in Japanese Company, then smokers can get to know each other very easily.


Sometimes they exchange confidential information beyond their titles and that is an very big advantage as business man.

I have never smoked and I know I won’t but I can imagine how hard it is to quit. I live with my uncle who is smoker. He can burn 2 packs of cigarettes a day, it’s terrible! Now I know that He never quit smoking because He hasn’t a strong will power…actually He doesn’t even want it and that scares me the most.
