It is important that smokers really ‘resolve to stop smoking’ when they ‘decide’ to stop. Resolving to quit smoking properly makes a big difference in your chances of success. By making a ‘proper’ decision, you increase your odds of success in overcoming the evil weed several fold.

So what do I mean by ‘making a proper call’? Well, most smokers when they decide to quit smoking don’t truly resolve to quit smoking ; they simply decide to wish to be able to quit smoking. There are plenty of reasons for this but the most important one I believe is the emotional attachment to smoking.

Smokers think that they enjoy smoking regardless of the undeniable fact that to smoke, one must inhale hot toxic gas and particulates to enjoy it. Because smokers are so attached to smoking as a delightful pass time, it is tricky to resolve to stop smoking without seeing stopping smoking as a test of will or avoidance, resulting in agitation about stopping.

This agitation manifests itself in the smokers mind by making them nervous at the thought of spending the remainder of their lives without their beloved cigarettes. After all , the average smoker has not enjoyed a mug of joe, meal or alcoholic drink in the previous couple of years without a trusty fag within arms reach.

If you decide to stop smoking you should resolve to quit smoking and not merely decide to ‘give it another go’. And it will be another go – research implies that most smokers take seven attempts over many years to kick the habit!

So how can you go about resolving to stop smoking? Well, firstly you need to accept the rest of your life must be without cigarettes. This is a monstrous proposition for most smokers because they enjoy smoking so much. But consider these facts ;

Fact 1 : We were all born as non-smokers. It was only after starting smoking that we became smokers and we did not even chose to do that, we only chose to give smoking a try. ( that’s another story I cover in my book )

Fact 2 : 25% of the people of the united states have never smoked a cigarette and they appear to get on with life OK. These folks have resolved never to smoke and they do not miss it one iota!

Fact three : 25% of the population have tried smoking and just couldn’t get into it – they do not smoke and they appear to manage just fine too.

Fact four : 25% of the population used to smoke at one time or another for varying periods but they have now stopped. They don’t smoke and appear to get on with life fine too.

finally, there’s the 25% of folks who currently smoke and who have not managed to deal with to stop smoking. Researching the way to quit smoking is an excellent good start and step 1 on a journey to a smoke free life so by reading this article you are already headed in the right direction!

At least 75% of the populace can and do live happily without cigarettes. What makes you so special? Go on, don’t just resolve to try and quit, resolve to quit smoking.

Giving up makes it permanent, never stop trying to stop smoking.
