Quit Smoking Myth Busters
Quit Smoking Myth Busters There are several very excellent myths concerning the ability to
quit smoking that must be addressed. The smoker needs very little encouragement to continue this habit. Those who
benefit from the inability of smokers to make that decision to quit usually circulate myths. Myths discourage, they
cause pain, and they continue the falsehood that smokers are weak. Myth # 1 is that it is impossible to quit. The
myth buster is that smokers who join support groups when trying to quit smoking have a success rate of 20 to 27%,
that is not great, but it is not impossible either. Having a reason to quit and believing you can quit are the two
single most important reasons for success. Smokers who can find both a reason for quitting and can find within
themselves a belief that they can achieve what ever they want to can and do become successful at quitting the
smoking habit. Myth #2 believes that goal setting is not necessary when it comes to being able to quit smoking. The
myth buster is that whenever you are faced with what may seem like an insurmountable task the one thing that keeps
you reaching for success is to have something to reach for - a target or goal. A well-defined and measurable goal
tells you what you are shooting for and gives you a time frame in which to set your marks on. A goal is very much
like the x on a treasure map. Without the x the map would pretty much be useless. Successful people are able to
achieve in life because they set a goal and aim for that goal. If you aim for nothing that is what you will get. If
you have a goal to aim for, you are more likely to reach that goal. Myth #3 says that medical health professionals
cannot be of any help to smokers when it comes to quitting. The myth buster is that the medical professionals who
truly care about the health of their patients will rather guide them to useful tools to help them succeed at
quitting then watch them die of lung cancer or heart disease even though contracting these diseases will put more
green in their pockets. If medical professionals were self-serving they would discourage patients from quitting so
that they gain financially when it comes time to treat them for the results of their smoking. Bust the myths that
you hear regarding wanting to quit smoking. Believe in the evidence concerning cancer and heart disease. Believe in
your own abilities to make healthy decisions for yourself. Gather all the tools you can so that supportive people
who care about you and will encourage you to achieve your goals surround you. Seek medical assistance so that you
will have a better chance for success. Take advantage of support groups and most of all believe in you. You can
quit smoking on your own terms today.

To succeed the smoker either needs to be able to stay focused on the motivator or to have a constant reminder of the motivation to quit. A pregnant mom can tape the ultrasound picture on her refrigerator or bedroom mirror as a reminder of the life growing inside of her that needs her to quit smoking.
