Well, I have decided to give up smoking. I thought it would be a great opportunity to get my lungs back to health and give me a second chance at this so called life. I haven’t actually been smoking for very long, in fact its only been 3 years now – and although its only a short time, i am already feeling the effects of cigarette smoke and i know if i continue i will start having serious problems. I have been smoking up to 30 a day at the peak of smoking and i know that is not a good thing to do.

I have a very good friend who i asked to tell me to stop smoking, i know its a cliché in a way that my family should ask me to stop and i should – but my friend is the only one i know i would listen to and i have decided that her ordering me to stop was the best way to stop.

Its literally been one week since i stopped and its only the last two days that i have been having bad cravings, but i am not giving up – i am determined to be completely cigarette free by this time next month – but its a little hard i do admit.
