The Best Stop Smoking Tip Ever!

When I was a smoker, I was determined to find that one best stop smoking tip. I always thought that there was one that I could rely on and use to make me stop smoking. You see, smoking is incredibly difficult to quit until you have found your own solution, i.e. the best smoking tip ever for you. Then it becomes easy to stop smoking.

So what is the best stop smoking tip ever then I hear you say. Well, the bad news for you is that I don't know. It's not that I don't know a whole heap of stop smoking tips, it's just that I don't know which is the best stop smoking tip for you personally.

Let me clarify. When I stopped smoking, one thing that really changed things for me was the realisation that I could actually enjoy life without cigarettes. For me that was the best quit smoking tip ever, but it wasn't the only one and on its own it wasn't that powerful. There were a whole raft of things I had to understand before I could happily give up the smokes. Now this is a strange analogy but stick with me. It is a bit like the Whitehouse, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC.

The Whitehouse is a magnificent building, but it is a magnificent building because it appears to be greater than the sum of its parts. Its parts add up to 'x' but the whole thing put together is worth 'x' plus a whole lot more.

The Whitehouse wouldn't look very good with just the huge entrance and no building. The building itself wouldn't look very impressive without that portico. The lamp under the portico wouldn't look good without the portico and the portico wouldn't look as good without the lamp. The gardens wouldn't be set off as well as they are without the house and the house wouldn't look as magnificent if it didn't have the gardens.

Do you see what I mean? One thing in itself may not be that impressive but when contrasted or complimented with something else or a number of other things, it becomes greater than it really is. It is always possible for something to be greater than the sum of its parts.

You can read them and others all over the internet, but they tend to follow different ideas about smoking and how you can overcome its grip on your life. If you read stop smoking tips all day long you could quite easily get no nearer finding a simple way to quit smoking without the anguish and stress and normal need for willpower.

So if you are really keen to stop smoking, I suppose the best stop smoking tip I can give you is this. You are killing yourself. You know that but it doesn't make it any easier to stop smoking. You need to find a solution, so keep looking. They do exist but it may be different for you than it was for me. Lots of people succeed with cognitive behavioural therapy, others with hypnotherapy and others with drugs, although I take a pretty dim view on drugs to help you quit!

For me, it was cognitive behavioural therapy. That sounds serious and scary but it's not. It is a set of instructions to change the way you think about your relationship with cigarettes. Once I understood why I smoked, it was really easy for me to quit. As they say in the military, "know your enemy!"

My final piece of advice that I suppose is the other 'best stop smoking tip' that I can think of is always, never stop trying to quit smoking.
