7 No-fail Steps To Quit Smoking Going Cold Turkey
Welldec
Want to quit smoking? You have two choices. Either to go 'cold turkey' or to use the 'quit smoking drugs' at your disposal. If you choose to go 'cold turkey' and make a complete break, you will overcome the desire to smoke more quickly and you will soon enjoy the satisfaction of beating the habit and a sense of wellbeing and good health as well as the financial benefits of being a non-smoker.
As a '20 or more' a day smoker in the 70's, deciding to give up smoking was not easy. Most of my friends smoked then and there were no restrictions on where you could smoke. Smoking was accepted very readily just about everywhere you went. It made it very difficult to break the habit when so many around you, wherever you went, were smoking.
I reckon 80% of my friends smoked and you could smoke to your heart's content in pubs, clubs, offices, cars, buses, 'planes, restaurants - you name it. Temptation was everywhere you went, and especially noticeable when you were trying to break the habit.
There was little talk of the harmful effects of smoking until the mid 70's, but, when smokers realized the harm they were doing to themselves, the need to quit took on new proportions and more and more quit the habit. Many of my friends, who were heavy smokers, quit Cold Turkey. There were no other options.

It must surely be easier to quit now when smokers are in the minority and smoking is banned in so many of the old places where smoking was most popular.
