Would you rather be an ex-smoker that craves cigarettes – or a non-smoker who never gives them a thought?

We think we know the answer – but read on to find out why ‘10 Steps to Become a Non-Smoker’ will enable you to stop smoking for good, and never crave another cigarette.

Most smokers have experienced it more than once. Several weeks down the road to quitting for good, then…

One slip and all that effort wasted

All those good intentions made; cravings resisted; plans laid and for what?

A few weeks off the cigarettes.

And every time, it seems like it’s OK to do it. But why?

Because addiction is very clever, that’s why, and it works at an unconscious level.

So however strong your conviction is to start with, addiction waits until you are at a ‘low’ point, and then strikes.

And suddenly you find yourself making up the most incredibly creative reasons for why it’s OK to have ‘just that one’.

So how can you stay stopped?

There is a profound difference between a smoker that has stopped smoking and a non-smoker. The smoker courageously resists having a cigarette, while the non-smoker couldn’t think of anything worse than smoking.

You’ve probably heard those people who quit smoking 10 years ago and still say “Every time I have a beer I still want a cigarette” – if you are trying to stop smoking that is a terrifying thing to hear!

But it simply means is that they only quit smoking at a conscious level – that is they decided to stop, and stopped. Unconsciously, smoking is still an attractive prospect for them.

If you’re going to quit smoking, do the job right

There are a million and one ways to stop smoking… from nicotene patches and chewing gum to tablets, lozenges, inhalers and Zyban the stop smoking drug. In addition, there are plenty of people out there willing to tell you how to stop smoking – quit tips are everywhere.

But they all miss one vital component – the unconscious mind.

If you are going to make the effort to free yourself from the terrible effects of smoking, why not do it right? Use a proper smoking cessation program that will leave you free of the desire to smoke.

There are endless good reasons to quit smoking, including reducing your risk of cancer, heart disease and early death.  Despite these well-known risk factors, however, many smokers find themselves needing a more personal reason to want to kick the habit; possibly because the threat of “maybe” contracting a deadly disease just doesn’t seem likely (the old, “it will never happen to me” syndrome).

This article is going to share some easy steps to help you come up with your own powerful, compelling reason(s) to quit smoking once and for all.

1)  First, take a few moments to jot down on a sheet of paper the negative aspects of how smoking makes you feel.  You can include actual physical problems like shortness of breath and fatigue; as well as feelings like embarrassment that your clothing and hair may stink; feeling like an outcast stepping outside to smoke while everyone else stays inside socializing and having a good time; or even your fears, like dying young and leaving your children before your time.

Write down as many reasons as you can, and try to make them reasons that really matter to YOU – not just what other people have said to you or you’ve heard others say before.

2)  When you’re done with your list, look it over carefully.  Read each item on the list, and really think about how it feels to experience that situation in your daily life.  Now choose the top three reasons that are most repulsive to you and circle them.

Take another sheet of paper and write a longer description of each of those three items.  For example, if one of your top reasons was “to not die young and abandon my children”, write a paragraph or two about why that is important to you.  How would it affect your children if you died before your time?  How will your smoking impact them, now and in the future?  Will your smoking addiction encourage them to smoke later in life?  Continue writing until you feel you have identified your core reason for wanting to quit smoking.  This may seem like a morbid exercise, but it can be incredibly powerful.  Being a smoker for a long time desensitizes you to the true long-term effects of smoking.  This exercise jars you out of the haze of denial.
