You can stop smoking easily
“Thank heaven, I have given up smoking again!… God! I feel fit. Homicidal, but fit. A different man. Irritable, moody, depressed, rude, nervy, perhaps; but the lungs are fine.” ~A.P. Herbert

“If we see you smoking we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action.” ~ Douglas Adams
You would have thought he was a non-smoker. Ironically, Douglas Noel Adams (11 March 1952 – 11 May 2001), an English writer and dramatist, was a smoker. He never actually quit smoking before. In fact, in his books, there was several reference on smoking.
Douglas Adams died of a heart attack in 2001, and as the British Heart Foundation points out, “Quitting is the biggest step you can take to reduce the risk of having a heart attack.”

They made out I was a terrorist or something. It was embarrassing.”
It was reported in 2009 that the celebrity was ordered by her doctors to quit smoking after her tests revealed that she has nodules lining her throat. Now it remains to be seen whether she can give up smoking, forever.
I’m not really a heavy smoker any more. I only get through two lighters a day now. ~ Bill Hicks
“Obnoxious , self-righteous, whining little fucks. My biggest fear is that if I quit smoking, I’ll become on of you…Don’t take that wrong. I have something to tell you non-smokers that I know for a fact that you don’t know, and I feel it’s my duty to pass on information at all times. Ready?…….Non-smokers die every day…Enjoy your evening. See, I know that you entertain this eternal life fantasy because you’ve chosen not to smoke, but let me be the 1st to POP that bubble and bring you hurtling back to reality….You’re dead too.” ~ Bill Hicks

“I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker… but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.” ~ Michelle Pfeiffer
Definitely that is her opinion. I personally do not find my non-smoking friends any less interesting than my smoking friends. I do not discriminate however I often wish I do not have to stink from cigarette smokes when partying with my smoking lots. That was when I wish they would all quit smoking there and there.
GQ Magazine reported in April 1995, the famous words of Famous Smoker, Drew Barrymore: “‘I get through anywhere from two to three packs a day’, she declares, with undeniable relish. ‘It’s disgusting. It’s awful. But I love it! Ooh I love it. If there could be an alcoholic word for smoking then that would be me. I’m a smoke-aholic. Definitely. Marlboros. That’s my brand. It’s such a great consistent taste. I love everything about smoking. I love the it cures my oral fixations. I love that it’s something to do, it’s something in my hand. I like the smell of it, the taste of it, I love smoking! I love the first one in the morning, I love the last one before I go to bed and every one in between. If I could I would smoke and eat at the same time. Whether it’s obsessions or fixations, this is definitely one of mine. But if it’s a fault, then it’s one I take pride in.”
Drew Barrymore did attempt to quit smoking via hypnosis, however, did she really quit ? As far as the many reports in the dailies and internet, our Charlie ‘s Angel hasn’t.
In 2004, it was widely reported that Brad Pitt had stopped smoking to shape up for the movie “Troy”. However, it was also reported that he started puffing the moment the camera stopped rolling.
Iin 2005 “People” reported that the “Inglorious Bastards” star was encouraged to quit by Angelina Jolie.
Last year, the father of six confirmed to “W “magazine that he was indeed a quitter. “I quit smoking. That [the kids] was the only thing that got me to quit. That was it. Done.”
Great. Seems that children has a great influence on their parents. The earth will smell much better if more smoking parents think the same ways as Brad Pitt and Russel Crowe.
