Quit Smoking – Doctor’s unnecessary caution !
Smoking is dangerous – this has been proved. There are people, who hardly visit doctors despite small illnesses. They fear of doctor’s restrictions in their daily lives. Why should you allow it to be fatal, rather prevention is better than cure.

I am a very weak minded person. Can I quit smoking?
Surely, it is. Even the decision of quitting is bold enough. The decision also reveals your pragmatic mindset, which hardly comes from a chicken-hearted person. We suggest you to consult a counselor immediately.

I smoke 2 to 3 per day. Is it harmful?
Snake bite is a snake bite and the first bite injects adequate poison to take your life away. Several bites only increase the number of external wounds.

Tests and experiments in laboratory do not conform to the authenticity of the above statement.

Quitting Smoking is difficult but staying quit is tough !
We completely agree with you. Reaching the peak once may be difficult, but possible. The challenge lies in continuing despite provocations. Even handicapped people drive vehicles overcoming their acute shortcomings of impaired limbs. It is the level of devotion, determination and dedication, which matters.

Final WordsA continuous research and innovation have opened up various ways to facilitate you to quit smoking. We are aware that people from different walks of life have been seriously seeking out new and authentic ways for quitting smoking. The list includes psychiatrists and experts from alternate medicines also.

We know there are enough controversies in the methodology. Like whether to take medicine after having quit smoking or not? So we need a counseling session for quitting? Can we leave it permanently? Should we go to a homeopath or a traditional medical practitioner? Is it better to announce a date or should it be all of a sudden?

We welcome all such controversies, because we feel the education, culture and awareness have led to so many controversies, which is really good for mankind.

The reader will find out a slightly different approach in our content. We apprehend the mental tension and agonies of people caused by such a lucrative world. We also feel that people become restless even in trifles, because the mental imbalance caused by stress, stretch and strain caused by the surroundings. We know mainly that the younger generation fails to hold patience and get puzzled due to the mysterious events of the surroundings, where the son hardly hesitates to kill his father.

In such a stage of social and emotional imbalance, we don’t recommend any “slow but steady” process. We don’t know which factor will start dominating inside from tomorrow and moreover when we will have enough time to think and waste on same issues again and again. Why provide solace to the self? We do feel that confidence and determination are the keys to survival. Why shouldn’t we try to increase the level of confidence? If we can increase our inner energy level, then only we can survive at this competitive age. Then why not to take the path like meditation, which can really enhance our inner energy level to fight?

Desperation for emancipation from the cherished tradition fueled by personal experiences has resulted in this book. None of us can guarantee that he can witness the next dawn. But it is the obligation of every human being to prove that he is a M A N.
