Hello June Quitters:
thought I would share some information that my smoke coach shared with me. This information after reading it has helped me to be more determined never to light up again. I hope that it helps each and everyonel

WHAT'S IN CIGARETTE SMOKE?
There are over 4, 000 chemicals. Many of these chemicals are poisonous, and some can cause cancer her is just a partial list:

Toxic chemical Cancer Causing chemicals
Acetone (nail polish remover) Benzo(a) pyrene
Ammonia (household cleaner) Chrysene
Arsemoc (poison) dibenzacridine
Butane (lighter Fluid) N-nitrosonornicotine
Carbon monoxide (car exhaust) Nitrosamine
Formaldehyde (lab sample preserver) Polonium-210 (a radioactive mat)
hydrogen cyanide (gas chamber poision) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon
insectides Toluidine
methane (swamp gas) Urethane (used to make plastic)
methanol (rocket fuel) vinyl chloride (used to make PVC)
naphthalene (mothballs)
Nicotine (addictive drug) OTHER SUBSTANCES;:
Nitrobenzene (gasoline additive) Acetic acid (vinegar)
Phenal (coal tar extract) Aluminum
Toluene (industrial solvent) copper
Ethanol (alcohol)

TOXIC HEAVY MENTALS
Cadmium Gold
Lead Silicon
Mercury silver

* the polonium exposure to someone who smokes one and a half packs a day equals having 300 X-rays in a year. (Fallon quit to win program).

I encourage everyone to print this list out and keep in handy in front of you somewhere and when you get a craving for a cigeratte read the list. It has help me and i have been smoke for since June 5th 2009 and no desire to smoke again. I hope this helps.

Hi Everyone! 61 days smoke free, breath free for me! The last two days have been a real struggle...I am a teacher and we started our workshops Monday...and there were triggers ALL OVER THE PLACE! Although I wanted a cigarette worse than I have for the last month, I just acknowledged the feeling, took a deep breath and told myself to get over it.

I've found once I face a trigger situation and get through it (without smoking), then that situation loses its impact. The students come back tomorrow and there will be NEW triggers, but I will get through them too.
I find that the benefits of NOT smoking far outweigh the "benefits" of smoking.

I've just celebrated 56 days of being smoke-free. I'm stunned. How is it possible that I - and dozens more like me - have been able to quit? To become an ex? To become a non-smoker? I still have tough moments when I'm sure I'll simply die if I don't have a puff. But I tough them out and have been doing it since June 24th. Congratulations to all the June quitters. Excellent job!

Hi June quitters! I'm on Day 65, and have saved more than $480. Isn't that amazing, crazy and wonderful? Of course, I don't exactly know where the extra money is (half was spent on Chantix), but I should start seeing the savings add up this month.
