How many ways are there to give up smoking cigarettes? Well, about a million! No, that’s an exaggeration perhaps.
Those who have given up extol the virtues of “being free”. And good luck to them!
Not quite that simple. Even though the “free ones” tell you it was as easy as winning the Archibald and Booker prizes!
So “comfortable” for those who can look back in anger with pinkish lungs again!
Not everyone is a successful artist or author. No, indeed! Many of us just plod along without anyone too bothered whether we are alive or dead.
But, hey, write a book about the joys of giving up smokes and the world pays attention! And the money rolls in. Numerous book launches and, oh, the royalties, lucrative lecture circuits, perhaps even a movie contract!
Hindsight is wonderful. “What a filthy, disgusting habit it is!”
Find me a fail-safe way of “giving up” (not hypnosis, nicotine patches, drugs, being locked in a monastery for six months or isolated on a fresh-air mountain top) and I might, just might, think about it...over another cigarette!
