Giving up smoking needn’t be difficult
Quitcigs4free.com was created from a desire to take the negativity away from giving up smoking.
Obviously there is a negativity involved with smoking itself. Those of us that have or do smoke know about the daily sense of guilt, low self esteem and hard physical pain associated with the cigarette habit. Not too mention the numerous, well-documented side-effects that smoking produces on yourself and others.
But there is also a negativity – a heaviness – associated with the act of giving up. Ask anybody, smoker or not, if giving up cigarettes is easy and the response you’ll get is: “It’s incredibly difficult.” Why?
And there’s the familiar urban myth:
“Giving up smoking is harder than giving up heroin.”
Phew! How did they work that one out?
Well, I never had to give up heroin, I’m pleased to say, but giving up smoking, for me, was …. EASY!
As cynical as it may sound there are many large multi-national companies that would benefit greatly if this were true and would lose considerably if it weren’t.
“For every cigarette there’s a nicorette”
is Pfizers’ advertising line. I bet they wish it were true… they’d be making even more of a fortune if that were the case!
But, evidence for nicoteen replacement therapy (patches, gum, sprays) is severely limited.
I know that my method is cheap and it works.
Try it – you’ve spent enough already!

I stopped 15 years ago, no substitute, no patches. I read a magazine article which told me all I would suffer is mild discomfort for up to 14 days and after that I would be free forever. I believed it and it worked.

Good comment, Andy. With this website I’m trying to communicate how a simple and easy suggestion can quickly and painlessly end a damaging habit. It’s what happened to you and happened to me. I remember thinking that if I could get through one day without cigarettes or anything else I could get through the rest of my life … that was five years ago!
Thanks!
