Many people still continue to smoke.It is a great sin that the number of people who want to quit is increasing.While we have come a long way, but we still have a long way to go to fight against smoking.Young people are not still giving serious attention to the harmful effects of smoking.Perhaps it's their "live for today" attitude, which can be good.However, if they want to quit smoking , they can have a good tomorrow.

Smoke is not only bad for your health.It makes your clothes stink, your teeth yellow.I always hate smoking.

To Create a smoke free world, we have to obey some rules & these are:

  1. You have to quit smoking ( compulsory ).
  2. Convince a parent to stop smoking.
  3. Convince someone to stop smoking.



You Have to Quit Smoking

1st of all , you have to quit smoking.Then you have to know about the tips to quit smoking & here are these:

  1. Set your mind off smoking.
  2. Set a date to quit & stick to it.
  3. Get as much support as you can from your family, friends & neighbors.
  4. Through out all cigarettes, ashtrays,lighters & anything that might remind you of smoking.
  5. Talk to your doctor about what would be best for you.
  6. Write down all the reasons that made you decide to quit smoking & carry them with you in case you need reminding.
  7. Chew some gum.
  8. Take always deep breath.This will help you to relax & focus your mind on something else.
  9. Eat an apple everyday.It will help you to reduce the smell of cigarettes from your mouth.
  10. When you feel stressed, then take a couple of breaths.Then go for a walk.


Convince a Parent to Stop Smoking

  • Ask the parent if they would like their kids to smoke when they grow up.If the parent says no, the point out that parents are the best model role & children often grow up to be very similar to their parents.
  • Point out the facilities of the smoke free environment.
  • Write down all the ways tobacco has a negative effect on their lives.
  • Tell them how much you love them, and how much it would hurt the whole family  if they suddenly died of a hurt attack or stroke at work one day.
  • Look at it from a religious perspective if you follow a religion.If you accelerate the death of yourself & others around you, that may be considered murder or suicide.
  • Point out that kids who live with smoking parents are about twice as likely to become smokers.Actions speak louder than words.


Convince Someone to Stop Smoking

  • Tell them about the deadly effects of smoking.
  • Tell them " If you smoke today, your kids will smoke tomorrow "

Keep in mind, when trying to convince people to quit that logic and reason are usually the base ammunition.If you present a few facts about how deadly smoking is to the human body, most people will see how important it is to quit.Don't forget to be there as support for your friend in need.Many times just being there for your friend will be enough to help  through this tough time.

Convince Someone to Stop Smoking

Check out the business in your community and encourage your peers to shop at places that don't sell cigarettes.Speak out against smoking in both of school newspaper & local newspaper.Encourage your friends to quit smoking.Do these to quit smoking.

After doing all these things, we can hope to have a Smoke Free World.

Blacklover, you really write on interesting and thought provoking topics. This one is no different. This is one of those that I must bookmark, although I don't have the problem, but it is useful. Thanks for this the suggestions were topnotch. Especially the one that says, "Write down all the reasons that made you decide to quit smoking & carry them with you in case you need reminding." Good hub!
