HOW TO QUIT SMOKING

what it takes to stop smoking

smoking is a habit which most people cultivated, from their teenage years especially when you see your friends smoking ,you will equally have the interest of joining them and with time it might be a habit depending on individuals,some smoke for few years and stop,some make it a once in a while thing while some take it as a one time thing ,while some take it as a full time chore(habit).

                                                     

What does it really take to stop smoking,it takes a lot of hard work and dedication because its never an easy operation to stop smoking.I remember some time ago when i was into smoking, it was pretty difficult to stop because sometimes if i say i want to stop,whenever i see anyone smoking by me,the craving will always come again and i will end up holding a stick of cigarett,but i later realised that whatever you want to do ,its decision of mind that really make it happen, but it's never easy,but determination of mind really has a lot of influence on decision to stop smoking.

                                             

I want you to look at your smoking habit and identify what triggers you, especially those things that make you want to smoke and from there you will relearn how you can handle them without cigarettes.

these are the things i would like for you to put into consideration, especially when considering quiting smoking:

1. Make a honest determination about quiting smoking.
2. Understand the fact that quiting wont be easy.
3. Set a quit date.
4. As you are preparing to quit ,stop buying boxes of cigarettes. 
5. Check your cravings most of the time and check how bad it is.
6. Get a list of things to do when cravings comes and try to determine not to go for the cigarette even if you have the cravings

AT WHAT AGE DO YOU THINK ITS APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN TO GET CELL PHONES?

CELLPHONE AGE FOR CHILDREN

I WAS DISCUSSING WITH SOME FRIENDS SOMETIME AND THIS QUESTION ABOUT WHEN KIDS SHOULD BE USING MOBILE PHONES CAME UP, AND EVERYBODY HAD THEIR DIFFERENT OPINION AND SOME SAID AGE 12,13,AND 15 RESPECTIVELY, BUT IN REALITY WHAT AGE WOULD A PARENT WANT THEIR KIDS TO USE PHONES?, BECAUSE OF A LOT OF FACTORS LIKE CORRUPTION,DISCUSSING ISSUES NOT RELATING TO EDUCATION,NOT BEING ABLE TO MONITOR THE CHILD EVEN ON PHONE MAKES SOME PARENTS TO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT WHEN TO ALLOW THEIR KIDS TO USE PHONES.

FROM MY VIEW I THINK USING PHONE FOR CHILDREN DEPENDS ON PARENTS AND THEIR BELIEVES AND OPINIONS,SOME PARENTS DUE TO RELIGION RESTRICT THEIR KIDS FROM USING PHONE UNTIL WHEN THEY ARE 18 AND SOME GIVE THEIR CHILDREN THE PRIVILEGE FROM AGE 11 OR 12 DEPENDS ON HOW SMART AND RESPONSIBLE THEY THINK THE CHILD IS ,SOME PARENTS THINK ITS APPROPRIATE FOR A CHILD TO USE PHONE FROM AGE 12 BECAUSE, WHEREVER THE CHILD IS THEY CAN BE MONITORED .SOME PARENTS LOOK AT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A CHILD TO GIVE THEM PHONE.

SOME PARENTS HAVE NO CHOICE AS TO WHEN TO GIVE PHONE TO THEIR KIDS DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL, SUCH AS CARRYING PHONE FOR HEALTH REASONS E.T.C. I KNOW OF A PARENT WHO'S CHILD STARTED USING PHONE IN 4TH GRADE WHEN THE CHILD DEVELOPED A MEDICAL CONDITION.THE FRIENDS THOUGHT THEY COULD USE THE PHONE TO CALL FOR HELP ANYWHERE AT THE PLAYGROUND IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.THE AGE THAT I WILL SUGGEST CELL PHONES FOR CHILDREN WOULD BE FROM AGE 12 AND ABOVE. google-site-verification: google13f29a9aad117b09.html
