Our next President smokes! That’s the reality~ and many of us wanted him to stop it! But as what he had told the media, he’s body needs it as he would be facing serious situation in his presidency, well, I can understand him as I know his body is used already with the calming spirit of cigarettes. I am also struggling myself to stop smoking, but it’s not really that easy; as my body is used to it already, but it’s possible to stop, why not? I am conscious of my health now as I know exactly what would cigar can make to my whole system. And I myself would say: Let’s not to smoke! But for me and for many who smoked Already—we can still stop, it’s not too late; for those who are not smokers, not do not try one!!!!

i also have a hard time quitting smoking. i have long been decided to quit but i always fail. i also do not force myself too hard and quit smoking at once. i know some people who stop so quickly and at once and their body have a hard time coping with the sudden change in their air intake. there was even one that took him to the hospital and did not last longer. people have said, he should not quit the quickly.

yes, it's really hard to quit smoking quickly neil.... I guess before you do not smoke.... you know, for now I guess there would be much campaign about stop smoking for our president smokes... I hope my body could cope up easily with this, I only smoke now during morning and evening... Good luck to both of us.

hahahaha, I am not really smoker years ago, I was just influenced by my college friends... and I never believe before that once you start smoking, then you would be addicted on it and it's very hard to stop anymore... now I had proven it already... and somehow I regret why I lit one before!!!!

It is never too late. But it has to be Your decision not others. It is the hardest thing to do I am told. So if you want to quit, then do it. Just make sure you have support, a person who will help you when you need it. Go For It. When you stop your body will start healing and you will be healthier. But trying to get another to stop is hopeless. if they Want to smoke , they will. if they Know you don't Want them to smoke around you , they won't but they will continue to smoke elsewhere.

Hi Primeaque This is a nice message that you are spreading here. Hope you will be able to stop smoking. Well I am not a smoker but I know that it is very difficult to stop smoking I have many friend who smoke. I have tried to tell them it's ill effects on the body but as usual they too know that. I managed to reduce their smoking by informing them about their health and effects of smoking on their health. Hope they too will soon be able to quit smoking. All the Best.

As what sarah told us here friend... me and many other smokers can only successfully quit smoking if the interest of quitting is really coming from them.... I hope they too can realize that smoking is not really good to our health and it can damage also many non-smokers who can breath the smokes, because they are too affected!!!! Thank you friend....

what can we do? Once a smoker it will be harder for them to stop, in there a show that forbid smokers from smoking which gave them different sickness and bad everything...but if you asked me why bother smoke in the first place, when you find it so hard to quit

Everyone knows that smoking is not good for health and keep suggesting other but will continue for sure. I think when people say that I smoke for so and so reason . They are making an excuse for them to continue smoking. I feel stress many times but do not feel like smoking. I do not understand how does it help. Whatever the reason is, smoking is not good at all. Friend - stop smoking. I am sure if you really want to quit, you can do it.

Wow, a nice message from you friend... yes, smoking is not really good, it's harmful to our health... that's why I am really trying my best to quit... you know for me, it can relieve stress, but to see is to believe, and never ever try to believe it...

we all agree that smoking is bad for the health. I am a smoker too but the moment i conceived a baby in my tummy, i had to stop smoking because it's bad for the baby as well. it's a matter of dedicating yourself to something that's best not only for yourself but also for the people around you. :)

i do not smoke and i will never do it. my classmates cannot stop it no matter how hard they try. i am aware that it is addicting and addiction is really difficult to break. senator noynoy always says that he loves the Philippines and the Filipinos as well; and quoting him, "kayo ang aking lakas." well, if he really loves the Filipinos and is really willing to set an example and abide by the laws, he should quit smoking.
