I CHOOSE NOT TO SMOKE
NOT TO SMOKE!
TODAY YOU ARE IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT
So begin to run your own life without tobacco dictating to you. Today you can absolutely refuse to be a slave any longer. Today is the time for a showdown.
Choose to think of something else besides that cigarette. "I Choose Not to Smoke"
LET'S GO, THEN
1. Begin with a cold mitten friction and two glasses of water before breakfast.
2. Get additional amounts of vitamins, especially Vitamin B1.
3. Make a special effort to encourage your partner who is also
breaking the habit.
4. Request power to break absolutely free.
5. Refuse to be a tobacco slave any longer.
6. Say, "I Choose Not to Smoke Again."
"Three key lifestyle approaches must be addressed in preventing heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and lung disease: smoking, diet and exercise." - World Health Forum, 1991
HAVE YOU HAD A HEADACHE?
It can be a withdrawal symptom because tobacco is in the narcotic
family and you are getting free from a form of drug addiction.
CRAVING STILL THERE?
Certain condiments - such as mustard, black pepper, horseradish -
can trigger a craving for a cigarette. You can also increase your
problem by indulging in rich sauces and rare steaks. Cholesterol
is increased by smoking and also from the use of animal fat. During these five days you are not only stopping smoking but learning how to lower your cholesterol and intake of fatty foods.
A new you is in the making. Change your lifestyle. Give yourself every advantage. Review HOW TO HANDLE THE IRRESISTIBLE URGE AT THAT UNEXPECTED MOMENT.
"Living without meat is both possible and preferable. A balanced diet does not have to contain meat." - World Health Document, 1990

3. Detest cleaning up ash trays?
4. Example to children.
5. You are in control, not tobacco.
6. Will contribute to a better lifestyle.

EXERCISE - DIET - WEIGHT
Walk
In addition to a short walk after each meal, plan 20-30 minutes of exercise each day - walking is excellent. You don't have to jog. Check with your doctor before going on a strenuous exercise program.
Food
In the morning feast like a king;
At noon dine like a prince;
At night eat like a pauper.
Weight
When your weight is normal, exercising 20-30 minutes three times a week will keep you fit and help curb those urges to smoke. If weight is a problem, we will give you more help on Day 5.
DON'T FORGET
Stick with the program. You can make it. The only people who fail are those who give up.
