 How many smokers do you hear make the claim that they are completely healthy? That they have never had a day in hospital? That they know loads of people who have lived to a ripe old age despite smoking? Well, that's ok. Why stop smoking if that is the case? After all, life is for living and doing what you want, right?
Of course, everybody has the right to live their lives just as they want. They have the right to gauge their own health and what they will and won't take into their bodies. That must be why they think it's fine to take in carbon monoxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide and formaldehyde in regular doses throughout the day. The fact that they are still breathing means it's still fine to reduce the amount of oxygen their body receives.
They are more than happy to allow their resting hearts to beat an additional 36,000 times per day, putting a strain on the heart and blood vessels, but hey, they're still working! They are more than happy to pour a full eight ounces |

 Smoking is one hard habit to break. If nicotine patches and gum doesn't work, perhaps you should try something else like an alternative form of healthcare like acupuncture. Acupuncture is an ancient practice involving the use of needles. This instrument is inserted into the skin to allow you energy or Qi to start flowing freely around your body and thus help you quit smoking.
When you go visit an acupuncturist for the first time and tell him or her that you want to quit smoking, after answering some questions, the specialist will carry out an examination of your ears and search for areas where the energy is low.
Once these spots are identified, these sharp needles are then inserted. Usually 5 needles are placed in various acupoints.
The treatment is finished after an hour and when the needles are removed, you are advised to wear ear magnets so your session continues even when you leave the clinic. While acupuncture itself is a painless procedure, some smokers have claimed that they felt a prick or get sleepy.
