Smoking 2

I have been smoking for over 20 years. I have never tried to stop smoking in 20 years. I am not a heavy smoker, especially when I had children. Since my first child was born, I have never smoked in front of my children, and never smoked in my car and at home. I reduced cigarettes from 8 to 3 per day , even if sometimes I can keep a whole day without smoking , but I can’t stop it. When I have some business dinners with my clients I need to smoke to keep my mind fresher, and the clients always tempt me to smoke. In fact , I am going to stop smoking, because of my health. I tried some electronic cigarettes but it was too bad smells and tastes to me. I think anything can not help me to stop smoking completely but myself. I hope one day I can decide to throw all cigarettes and lights off by myself and say goodbye to smoking forever.

Since my first child was born, I have never smoked in front of my children, and never smoked in my car and at home. I reduced my cigarette number/smoking from 8 to 3 per day, even sometimes I can go a whole day without smoking, but I can’t continue. When I have some business dinners with my clients I need to smoke to keep my mind fresh, and the clients always tempt me to smoke. In fact , I am going to stop smoking, because of my health. I tried some electronic cigarettes but they tasted and smelled too bad for me. I think nothing can help me to stop smoking completely except myself. I hope one day I can decide to throw all of my cigarettes and lighters out/away by myself and say goodbye to smoking forever.
