How I Quit Smoking to Fight Cancer

If I can quit smoking, anyone can quit smoking. I was a hardcore chain smoker for 22 years. I was only able to break free from this addiction after finding out I had cancer. In this article you will learn exactly what I did to quit for good. I guarantee that no matter how addicted you think you are, you can quit too.

I started smoking when I was only 14. The taste of it was disgusting and made me want to vomit. My friends kept urging me to try it, as it was considered to be the cool and the grown up thing to do. After much practice I was finally able to tolerate it. Within a few weeks I was addicted and even began to crave it. I became a chain smoker, with the stinky house and yellow teeth to prove it.

Prior to smoking I would compete in long distance running competitions. I was a fast runner and was healthy. After smoking for a while I could not keep up anymore. Somehow I never put 2 and 2 together, or understood the damage I was doing to my body. I became lethargic and never really felt that great but not sure why. I would get sick easily and got bronchitis every single winter. Smoking causes much misery, sickness and ultimately death. It isn't just about cancer.
