@amiablea2 Listen amiablea..Thanks for your comments firstly.I appreciate your input. Smoking zones are a great place for second hand smoking too. (THE WORST KIND OF SMOKE) There are thousands of places where you can go to network and not need to breathe in the toxins of the smoky atmosphere. In fairness it depends what you are interested in networking about. But if you go to a social event to network then I suggest you choose a smoke free zone. A gym is a great place to start.

i saw your video and for the first time I positively didn't take next fag. By positively, I mean without feeling guilt or fear of what will happen if I don't smoke this next cigarette till tomorrow morning (I stay with parents and don't smoke at home, so this next smoke would have been my last one for tonight). 1 question - sometimes smoking is associated with networking, as felt from my experience is smoking zone is great place for networking. please share your thoughts on this

The hard part was to fight the ''monster in my mind''. The actual physical cravings are quite small and don't last long at all. Like you said, i feel hungry...but this time...i killed the monster in my mind first before putting my last one out...it's sooooooo easy to quit!

[borishog]

Thanks mate you are a very smart dude

[buriedmybone]

As a 21 year old male looking for very rational, sound advice from someone I can relate to...you are a supreme role model and source of inspiration.

5 stars for changing lives :)

Hello Anthony, I truly want to thank you for all your positive advice. I am about 49 hours into trying to quit for the 7th time this year. I have been struggling with this dirty habit since I was 11. Usually this far in I crave nicotine so bad that I try to rationalize it to myself. I start looking to articles where athletes smoke and where pollution is so bad in some cities and figure whats the difference but your way of visualizing and understanding of how toxins leave got me through! Gracias

[dillingerexcape87]

what an awesome point man. this is so true when giving up any bad habit.

[ruslansanchez]

YOU HAVE A NICE HOUSE!!!

[TheRealFlowerGirl]

Amen thank you thank you, I needed to hear that today, I've set a date to quit but I'm moving it up..

[glitterchild21]

Hello again...Just wanted to thank you again so much for taking the time to put these videos together. I am on my second day...and although the physical symptoms are making me a little exhausted...I know I can quit! Thanks again an awful lot!!! :0)

[madash579]

im going to snap my cigarettes thankyou man!

[pfifofast]

After watching your video series thus far, i have decided to quit smoking also, the things your saying make lots of success.

Im a professional php programmer and I just began working from home, the amount of cigarettes i'm smoking are really starting to make me feel ill. I easily doubled my intake and didn't even realize it, since i wasn't paying attention.

Thank you. if you need help with your site just say the words.

[asangamanage]

Anthony.

You are simply an amazing personality.

Thanks.

[mcy82]

I just grabbed every ashtray i found in my place, put them in a bag, crushed them and then threw the bag into the trashcan.

(they deserve that!)

So, after 9 years, i´m not a smoker anymore.

I finished watching your videos,

THANKS SO MUCH!

[theexsmoker2008]

Hey !!! That's awsome...I am really pleased for you. Now remember You gotta accept that your body is gonna start cleaning itself and this will take a few days.Put it into your head right now that every chance you get..CELEBRATE AND PUNCH THE AIR and say "Yessss I am free and I am an ex-smoker" Say it loud , believe it ..you won't suffer any pain. Drug Monster will want to trick you..just laugh at him and say goodbye to him. Now YOU are the winner not the Nicotine. Keep it like that Ok ? Anthony

[Taraalcar]

Great video man, very helpful. I do need your help, get the rest of your site up soon! :-)

[theexsmoker2008]

Hi there. Thanks for the comment and kind words. Trust me I'm working as much as I can on the website and book. It is coming I promise. In the mean time, just to let you and all needing help I will post new videos very often (target 150) and please feel free to ask any questions. I will try to answer them for you. Have a great day and keep watching.

Anthony.

P.S. Out of Interest ...how did you find my vidz?

[Taraalcar]

Thanks a lot, I could use them.

I found your vids through a comment on another quit-smoking video.

I've only been a cigarette smoker for a month or so but I figure the sooner the better :-)

[theexsmoker2008]

Why did you start? Can you tell me ?

[Taraalcar]

A number of reasons, first, because I was hanging out with a bunch of guys who smoked and smoking made hanging out with them funner, two, because I had already been a light cigar and pipe smoker for some time, and three, in a bit of an embarassing textbook case of being drawn in by the tobacco companies, because Marlboro's new brand has such a cool-looking pack. "Marlboro BLACK?" says I, "Badass! The pack is black and everything! One pack please."

[theexsmoker2008]

Hey again . Thanks for telling me. Ok ..so Malboro now promote their drugs wrapped in a colour that matches what it leaves inside your body huh? Bold move.Pipe tobacco, Cigars,Cigarettes..they all have the same end product and that is addiction and slavery.Are your friends boring if they don't smoke? I hang out with non smokers now and I laugh my nuts off everytime.Make a date to trash your pipes, cigars and maybe your friends(for a while)Tell me amigo,why do you smoke?

Anthony

[Taraalcar]

My friends certainly aren't boring without cigarettes. I could definitely have fun with them without it.

As for why I smoke, well, because I am a junkie? :-)

But if you mean why do I THINK I smoke, because, I like the taste *rolls eyes* and the nicotine rush of the first cigarette. I would say the mintyness of menthol but that's a rather poor excuse as if I wanted mintyness I could just eat a mint, am I right?

[katerez]

Thanks for your videos! It is so simple and yet very powerful. The lightbalb moment for me, that I have never looked deep enough is the reason why I started at the first place. I have quit many times, the longest was seven monts and I beat my self and could not believe that I started again and was hooked with just one. Now I realize that I always stoped for the wrong reasons. So thanks and will let you know how it goes.

[theexsmoker2008]

Hi again Deedee.Thanks for the comment as usual. Sorry about the sound quality on this one. Many more people are leaving kind comments now too. Its good that they are getting someful useful from my vidz. Me ? I have been an ex smoker for nearly 2 years now. 3 and a half months is awsome. I guess you must be feeling lots of good changes in your body now. And it just gets better. Tell me, How did you pass thru the first few days? I would like to know. And was there any actual pain? Anthony

[deedee2879]

Hi, I actually chewed alot of sugarfree gum and had some lolly pops with gum in it lol. As for pain, no I cant think of any pain but I was very cranky probably for the first 3 weeks, I was a bit.., but not it is alot easier. I still once in a while get that urge or the fantasy to smoke but thats all it is. I will never smoke again. How about you? What did you use or did you have any pain?

[theexsmoker2008]

Hi again..Thanks for writing. When you get the urge or fantasy to smoke again ..ATTACK IT IMMEDIATELY!!! Your drug monster is not completely dead yet. And that is because you probably dont celebrate enough that you are free from the slavery. Shout out loud you are a non smoker. Also ..dont be fooled when you see smokers. Look at them with pity..not envy.Your life is precious dont falter and your success should be the food for your urge to continue this way. I sucked on sugar free werthers. :)

[deedee2879]

Thanks you for your encouragement and support. You probably are right. I dont think I do embrace the the fact that I am a ex-smoker. I should celebrate that fact more. Yes, and at work they are some nicotine addicts. It makes me disgusted!

[deedee2879]

I misspelled a word its sappossed to me now not, not. lol

[theexsmoker2008]

oh and I never had any pains physically. this is just a pathetic illusion created by smokers and the media. the feelings we go through are just the body cleaning itself telling us that we are on the way to a healthier state.I have never known any ex smoker that suffered physical pain.

Take care and well done..it pleases me so much that you are another person free from society's prison.

[deedee2879]

another great informational video. It has been 3 and a half months as of today since I last had a smoke. How long has it been for you?
