Those brain-washing TV ads that tell us quitting is close to impossible...
Hi everyone :) I want to express my disgust at advertising that convinces us; or tries to convince us, that quitting smoking is nigh on impossible. It isn't that hard. Honestly!! I doubt this will be published; we've all been brainwashed so much. I doubt you believe me - for the same reason. Be stubborn! Don't let them win!
I apologise if I seem to be nullifying a difficult time. I guess I'm assuming everyone will see it the way I see it. I've quit and started again, many times. When I've quit and then begun smoking again, it's simply because I wanted to and for no other reason. The actual HABIT of smoking (the hand-to-mouth movement, the association of smoking with different activities,) is difficult to overcome, I agree with that. Honestly tho', how many of you see these ads and instantly think of having a cigarette? How many of you see the ads saying how hard it is and go and spend a fortune on "virtual" smoking products, which absolutely do NOT assist in any way with the hand-to-mouth movement habit? I'm finding it very hard to express myself here. I hope I haven't come across as an un-empathetic person. I hope some of you will understand what I'm trying to say.
