Why You Should Not Trust A Smoker - Beware Of Old Friends

Never trust a smoker when you are quitting smoking - be very careful of what they say.

I remember when I gave up smoking over ten years ago. It feels so great to be smoke free for so long but if my friends had had their way, I would still be smoking right now as I write.

One of my friends would always offer me a cigarette whenever he opened his pack to spark one up. At first it was purely out of habit - he was always generous and liked to share.

But soon it became obvious that he would keep offering me cigarettes even though he knew that I had quit smoking. At first he passed it off as a joke but I knew that it was more than that.

You see, when you quit smoking, other smokers are actually quite jealous of you. They are also afraid that their smoking buddy has left the club and feel more isolated. These are the classic symptoms of an addict.

An addict will not think with logic and reason. Instead of thinking how wonderful it is for a friend to be giving up an unhealthy pastime and getting inspiration to give up yourself, an addict will think only of himself.

Whether he realised it or not, he wanted me to start smoking again and join the smokers club again.

I don't blame my friend at all. I blame the nicotine. Be under no illusions, this substance, like any other addictive drug, can make people act irrationally and even against their own friends and family.

It can be so hard for someone who has just quit smoking. Especially when some of their own friends and family are trying to tempt them to start again.

Luckily there are ways of resisting this: be strong, have a positive mental attitude and as soon as you quit, tell your smoking members of your friends and family not to offer you any cigarettes.
