How to Help your Family Member Quit Smoking?

Drug addiction is one thing which is extremely difficult to leave. And above all, if it is the case of cigarettes, then there are very few winners who have successfully left this bad habit.

But does this mean you won't even try, if you know you cannot leave this habit?

Besides going to the centres, one needs family and friends support as well when he decides to let go of smoking. And you can be an excellent support in that regard. Threatening, forcing, or emotional blackmailing, none of these tactics would work. A person has to take smoking seriously and try to get his family member let it go with love and support.

Here I am going to share few tips on how you can help them quit smoking.

Understanding

People often start forcing others to quit without knowing why they smoke at the first place. One, there can be major issues, such as depression, that is pushing them to smoke. Two, once a person gets a habit of smoking, he cannot let that go no matter how threatening it becomes.

You need to understand all of this and be a strong support to them when they decide to leave this. Offer them your unconditional love and understanding, and be a strong support to them during the initial phase of their quitting smoking. This is the time when they will be highly cranky.

So take them with love and try to help them out as much as possible.

Alternatives

One is addicted to nicotine in cigarettes. So while smoking is injurious, there are other less dangerous alternatives as well which provide same feeling but with reduced risks. That can be nicotine patches or e-cigarettes. You can also look out for a best cbd oil vape pen starter kit for heavy smokers. This can be easily available on Blaze4Days.com.

Try to reduce the intake of smoking and shift them on the better alternatives. Once you feel their habit is completely gone, you can then try reducen this.

Overall, it would take a lot of effort, love and patience from your side to get your family member to quit smoking. It is upon you now if you ever give up.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
