Forewords

Do your friends and family

keep bothering you with their

patent advice to ‘quit smoking’? Do

you feel tremendously irritated,

and yet, somehow manage to say

‘Ahh… yes, I’m trying’? And, you know very well that

you are never going to. Well, I understand your

situation. The following lines will teach you how to

reply with a stern but decent ‘No’ to any advice or

request to give up smoking.



To Quit or Not To Quit

The first thing that you need to

do is to find if you are really and

confidently reluctant to quit smoking.

If you have even the slightest feeling

that you would have better given up the bad habit of

smoking, definitely give it a try. Ask your friends,

family and others associated with you

to cooperate with you. They will help

you for sure. You can also seek

medical help.



Welcome

Well, then you are sure that you are not going to

quit smoking. First, you should learn how to react to

such demands. For mild and casual requests, you can

just say that you understand and appreciate their

concern for your

health; but cannot

really give it a serious

thought. You are not in

a state to bother about

something that is

apparently putting no

hindrance to anything

in life.



Why Blame Smoking Only?

Close friends, of course the non-

smoking ones, may prove to be nagging.

They try to caution you with what is

written on every packet of cigarette – ‘Smoking is

injurious to health’. Tell them, we live in a

world where the environment is polluted

enough to kill us. Smoking cigarettes is not

practically that alarming in relation to health issues,

unless you are impulsively and irrationally

biased against smoking by default.



Fight for Right

Argument is another weapon since the pro quit

smoking groups always have the tendency to justify

their unjust and childish demand. They tell you what

percentage of the global population are falling victim

to smoking which they divide into two categories –

‘active’ and ‘passive’. Give them

examples of septuagenarian and

octogenarian chain smokers you

know. Don’t worry, you don’t

have to lie. You truly know many

of such life-long smokers.



Smoking Alone Doesn’t Kill

Anti-smoking well-wishers of yours may ask you

the point of doing something that has caused, at least,

a considerable number of deaths; and you cannot deny

it. Tell them politely, risk factors are associated with

everything in life. Smoke emitted by cars cause

similar, often more harmful,

health problems. Do you stop

driving cars? What if you

stumble before a running car?

What if the roof crumbles

down on you?



Special Ones? – Say “My Heart Aches…”

Special ones are dangerous. They

threaten to leave you if you do not

stop smoking. In these cases you have

to play certain tricks. Go easy. Try to

casualize and trivialize the ill effects of smoking.

Besides, mention that you are taking special care of

yourself with compensating diet and lifestyle. Better if

you truly do it. Refer to the

withdrawal symptoms and bad

experiences you have. They will

understand.



Cover Point

What if mentioning withdrawal problem does not

work? There is a

possibility, since dumb

people exist in this

world. Say in a

confessing tone that you have headache without

smoking. You suffer acidity and digestion problems if

you do not smoke. You feel dejected and short

tempered. Ask him/her to ring any physician for

verification. Don’t worry. The doctor will add that

you may also have ulcer in your mouth.



Imagine … There’s No Cigarette …

Like all smokers do you also wish you had better

stopped smoking’? Well then…

Imagine there’s no cigarette.

It’s not so easy even if you try.

No burning butt between fingers.

Empty ashtray on the table.

Imagine all the smokers

Not smoking today.



Imagine there’s nothing to smoke.

It’s very hard to do.

Nothing to light or put off.

And no sparks too.

Imagine all the smokers

Sucking thumbs today.



So, You Understand?

Light a cigarette if you

haven’t already. It’s hard to find

a better company. Moreover,

there is no point depriving

yourself of something that you

like. Is it at all ethical to quit something that has

accompanied you for years? So,

why be unethical?

They may say you’re a smoker.

But you are not the only one.

May be someday they’ll join us

And the world will be as one.
