I met my brothers back in my hometown last weekend. One of them quit smoking as one of his new year's resolution. It have been about one and a half month. He said that he feel better since he quit. My eldest brother also quit for few months. He said he can't see a single benefit from smoking. Its just give him something to do for his time.
Both my brothers used to be heavy smokers. Two pack of strong Dunhill everyday. And now i can say that they have successfully quit.
My younger brother, used to be a light smoker quit few years ago.
Now i'm the only smoker among my siblings. However, all four my brother in laws are still smokers. But they all only do the 'rokok daun' which is cheap, less nicotine and other toxics.
I'm not a heavy smoker. In fact, i haven't touch a cigarett for about three day and didn't even think about it.
So why i'm not quitting? Actually i've tried few times before. But i guess when you are not a serious heavy smoker, you'll find its difficult to seriously quit too. When you are very light smoker, the amount of money wasted on cigarett also not significant to justify the need to quit. The effect to your health also not significant. So why quit in the first place?
Why smoking?
1. Release the stress.
All sort of stress. Work related. Family related. Traffic jammed. Chores. Mad at somebody. Did something wrong. And the list goes on.
2. Networking or socializing.
Being in a circle of friends. A group of people. And get accepted just for one similarities. Smokers.
3. Something to do while waiting while have nothing to do.
That all i guess.
What are my new year's resolution anyway? I don't have any for this year. Am i a loser??? Mmmm...
Mmmm...
