New Years Resolution - Quit Smoking

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Mysti Reutlinger There have been 0 comments

As a (former) smoker, I cannot begin to count the number of years I resolved to quit smoking. Actually, I can. I made that resolution my resolution for 15 years. I wasn't successful with every one of my attempts; or the attempts I made throughout the year. In fact, I was a "confirmed smoker" for much of that decade-and-a-half I spent hating every single cigarette I smoked. I tried it all: medications, patches, gums, lozenges, weaning down, cold turkey, hypnosis, and more. No matter what I tried, I ended up smoking again sometime down the road. And I hated every single minute I spent inhaling thousands of chemicals and half-dozen carcinogens.

But what once was, isn't today. I'm cigarette free. I don't have to make that same resolution to quit smoking this year like I've made every year before. I don't have to make that resolution because I use The SafeCig.

I have a half dozen of each battery and refills for both in my home. I take them with me to the gym, out shopping, to the park, and more. I love having an electronic cigarette. LOVE it. My body loves it, too.

I was once a runner. Running my was my drug of choice. From the age of 12 on, I was encouraged to run track and cross country as I maintained very well in long-distance running, but I could sprint like very few others. I frequently ran 7 to 10 miles per day and pounded out every stress and frustration I felt on the pavement. Today, I'm able to run again. It's been over 16 years since I last pounded the pavement with such conviction, but I haven't missed a beat. This year, I'll maintain my year without cigarettes and I'll take the pledge to run in at least one 5K and one 10K race.

I know I can do it - so can you.

You don't have to worry about craving a cigarette with The SafeCig. You don't have to worry about smelling like wretched, foul smoke. You don't have to worry about the little urge that comes up - sometimes turning into a raging monster. You don't have to worry because The SafeCig satisfies every bit of what you know from smoking. You don't give anything up - you just change brands of cigarettes; to an alternative that is free from the combustion by-products that kill people from tobacco cigarettes. Then you can get fit - with me!
