Steps to Breaking Free from Nicotine Breath

  1. Analyse smoking pattern.  Reflect and examine the reasons for current smoking.  A smoking diary for 3 -4 days will help to clarify this, if one needs pointers.  Smoking diary is a record of the time and situation of each cigarette lit up in that day.  And at the end of the day, find a quiet time when one can reflect on the record and give a reason for each stick smoked.  it might be early morning, feeling the urge; have to initiate the bowel movement; post meal urge; feeling stress; feeling bored; feeling happy; friends lite up; etc
  2. Once the reasons for smoking are known, decide which reasons are pretty strong and difficult to deal with. 
  3. Start developing strategies to deal with those tough areas
  4. Do trial run of the strategies on occasion; you might need to do some more research, if you do not have enough from my website
  5. Once you gain confidence of handling small successes, you are ready for the full quit to ACHIEVE FRESH BREATH. SET A Special date in near future (one month or less) to achieve this very special status. You can do it!

Carcinogen Classification. Stuff to avoid

  August 22, 2025   We are afraid of dying slowly, ie Dementia, and Cancers.  If there is a way to prevent these, would you be interested?  Many would go for getting to the root causes, and manage exposure to these.  I want to write about cancer causing agents 1st.

When this happens, antibiotics and other treatments no longer work well.
