(This article is in two parts and they are very important and ready reference for those who wish to quit smoking. If you follow the tips given here, you can definitely stop smoking! Do keep them bookmarked)
If we get relaxations for everything, we can give reasons for all our actions like:
“Sir, My lover herself agreed for sex. So, I had with her. She was not hurt. Then, how can I be a sinner?”
“Sir, Only the meat vendor is killing animals. How can I be a sinner by eating meat?”
“Sir, I am looting the property of the very rich persons and help the poor to create a balance in the society. What is wrong in that?”
Thus, we can give so many excuses for all our actions. But, we have to follow certain social norms for the betterment of the society and ours too.
A girl might have agreed for sex innocently because of lack of mental maturity. But, the offence is the same – illicit sex. You should have advised that girl that having sex before marriage is wrong that adds karma. Because, there is no guarantee that a girl and boy will definitely unite in marriage.
Yes… Only the meat vendor is killing animals. But, you are also a partner in his killing. How? If the people does not eat meat, he can not do that business. So, he kills animals, but, you give him encouragement and life by purchasing meat. Therefore, you are also sharing the karma of killing animals for food.
Though you are going to help the poor, that money should come through genuine sources. That rich man will be treated separately by the karma network if he had added excessive wealth through illegal means of earning. You need not equalise the society by following the same offence of looting. He may be caught even by the governments. Therefore, you can not justify looting the wealth of rich persons who added wealth doing illegal business.
Thus, even if you can justify your actions, offence is offence. Whatever reason it may be.

WHY SHOULD WE QUIT SMOKING ?
Let me come to the point.
First, I would like to remind an important aspect of life: THE PEOPLE GET ADDICTED ONLY TO THE OBJECTS, THAT ARE IMPURE.
Do you need examples?
They get addicted to cigarettes. But, the tobacco is alarmingly unbearable in taste and flavour. The people get addicted to such nasty taste and flavour.
They get adddicted to liquor. Do you know the taste of alcohol? The worst tasting liquid in this world is alcohol. Consuming even a single drop will be difficult as said by the drinkers. Still they drink.
Another addiction for the people is private parts of the opposite sex. But, What is the most unclean portion in everyone’s body? It is their private parts. But, the people are addicted to it?
Why the people become addicted to unclean and untasty and unhealthy objects alone?
Because, the people have the tendency to give importance ONLY for short term pleassures these objects give. The temporary flying feeling given by the cigarettes and liquor. Temporary, just 5 minutes of pleasure given by the opposite sex.
They forget that after this short term pleasure, their usual problems have not been solved and the problems continue and get intensified.
These pleasures never solve the problems. They just make us to forget the problems for a few minutes or hours. Mean time the problems may become worse than before because we postpone dealing with them consuming cigaretttes and liquor.
SMOKING IS AN UNWANTED AND UNHEALTHY act. Even the smokers know this. But, when the persons like you smoke, the cigarette companies and the shops boom with good sales and hence they produce more and more liquor and cigarettes. When they open more stores/ shops, more people are attracted and more people get addicted to cigarettes and liquor. So, you are standing as a cause for the growth of sales of cigarettes and liquors.
In addition to that, cigarettes and liquor are seriously additive products. They make you their addicts and hence if you miss a single day without smoking / drinking, you become disturbed and you will become normal only when you take them. Because of this, you can not remain social all the times and you always deviate from schedules. For example, a customer might have given you appointment to meet at 10 AM and the meeting is for about 1-2 hrs. Now the time is 9.50. But, you become nervous because you usually smoke one or two cigarettes at around 10 am. So, you smoke two cigarettes till 10.10 am and go to meet him at 10.30 am. Before that, the customer had left and hence you lose your business through that customer.
Thus, you will be forced to deviate from schedules. When all the people are attending marriage function, you alone will escape in the middle and go to a dark spot to smoke. You may even choose a toilet to smoke secretly.
Such typical activities may cause a bad image about you among others if you are caught smoking in toilets or dark spaces.
The most embracing thing in smoking and drinking will be the worst odour of breath. The smokers can not feel the bad breath themselves. Only others can feel. Others will hesitate to go closer to a smoker because he will evolve bad breath whenever he speaks or even when they are silent. The bad odour even in their shirts remain for more than 20 hours. He loses genuine relations and friends. Only those who smoke and drink will be with them. Therefore, unproductive association and hence bad standing in the society.
