Bolivar, a long time ago I too wanted to quit but yet continued to smoke.  The reason I continued to smoke was because of the addiction to the nicotine in cigarettes.  Everytime I started to quit, I (my brain and body) would sense the diminishing levels of nicotine in my bloodstream and the withdrawal would make me crave more nicotine.  The only way for me to relieve the craving was to smoke more cigarettes.  But there is another choice you can make to relieve the withdrawal and craving for nicotine...  choose not to put any more of it into your body! 

Because we are addicted to the drug nicotine, there are likely to be some withdrawal symptoms when we quit feeding it to ourselves.  But, there is no withdrawal symptom than can actually hurt you.  While it may seem uncomfortable for short time, withdrawal will not physically hurt you!  Do not fear withdrawal!  Instead, arm yourself with knowledge.  The following links (and the links within the links) can do just that.

 

Bolivar, you can do this!  You are worth it!
