Blood Donation

I went for blood donation last Wednesday, which was on 21st September.

Quit Smoking

Smoking is the common habit in the society nowadays. Well, too bad to say that I am smokers too.

Does it works? Well all I can say is nicotine patch and gums are useless for me because I still seem to be in the habit although I use it for about 1 month. There is no smell on the patch or gums and they say that the nicotine content in it can prevent your lust for puff.
Well for me I think the culprit that causes me to find it hard to quit smoking is the habit. The habit to have a puff after every meal, the habit of having a puff when I drink with friends, the habit to get a puff before I enter the house or office, the habit of getting a puff when I’m in stress or relaxed. All these things if you think of it really good and healthy activities, but if you put cigarettes in the picture it seems to spoil the mood. But for smokers like me, it really brings up the mood. The feel to have a puff in a nice environment is really stress relief for smokers.
