What Is Second Hand Smoking?

The funny thing about second hand smoking is that most smokers don't even know that something like second hand smoking exists. It is also referred to as passive smoking.

Second hand smoking is the process by which another person smokes but the toxic smoke is also inhaled and affects those who move along with the active smoker. The sad thing about this is that second hand smoking is just as harmful as active smoking. So the next time you smoke in the company of other people you have to be well aware of the fact that you are not just putting your self in danger but the same amount of danger is being passed on to your loved ones as well; a very strange gift indeed to pass on to your loved ones.

So if not for your self, at least for your loved ones you ought to try and give up the habit.

So, though I included the reason of passive smoking at the end of the list, it should be the most important reason for you to stop smoking. Isn't it a very selfish way of existing without bothering about the safety and well being of others just because you want to indulge in a pleasure of yours?

More paperwork

The next thing you have to do is that you have to fix the day when you want to start quitting and write is down as well. But as I mentioned earlier, it should not be very far away. The very next day is as good a bet as any other day. And may I ask you, why not today itself?

There is still a little more paper work to be done. It would be a good idea to write down any other occasions when you had tried to quit smoking earlier but did not succeed. Try and find out the reasons while you failed and write them down as well. These reasons are what we call pitfalls and it would be best to be extremely wary of these pitfalls and steer clear of them.

That's enough paper work for the day. But do not throw away this bit of paper but try and keep it where you can see it always. You could try pinning it in your work station or even on your bathroom wall.
