40 to 45% of American adults make one or more resolutions each year. Among
top new years resolutions are weight loss, exercise, and stopping to smoke.
The following shows how many of these resolutions are maintained as time goes on:
- Maintained past
first week –75% - Past 2 weeks -71%
- After one month -64%
- After 6 months - 46%
While a lot of people who make new years resolutions do break them, research shows that making resolutions is useful. People who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don't explicitly make resolutions.
For smokers, one slip and
old internal negative language starts up again. Don’t think about that one slip, think about how many times you chose not to smoke!
Smoking Cessation
Tobacco is an addiction, not just to tobacco but to
feel of
cigarette in your mouth, holding
cigarette in your fingers,
visual appeal of
flame and smoke, and even to
camaraderie of smoking buddies.
All these and many other behaviors serve to meet a psychological or emotional need. This helps to explain why it can be so difficult to break a smoking addiction.
Ray Charles admitted to having been addicted to alcohol, heroin, and cigarettes but broke each of these unhealthy habits. Which habit did he consider
hardest to give up? Smoking.

physical and mental addiction to tobacco provides you with
