A note on why I started this blog

It seems like a million times by now that I have promised myself never to touch the cigarette butt ever again and as much as it sucks to admit.. I am craving for that one puff of smoke to run through my lungs and out of my mouth right now as I sit here trying to describe my experience.
Smoking has caused a lot of effects that possibly I would have never thought the white innocent looking roll of tobacco inside paper was ever capable of. It has made me want it to the extent that I feel helpless and sometimes even unaware of my surroundings, turned me into an irritated and agonizing old hag and not to mention the stinky smell that goes with me where ever I may roam. Time; one of the most important assets seems to be being wasted in pursuit of that one hit of nicotine whilst I have to go a bit far from my home in order to smoke in fear that my family members might see me. Money; another important asset also seems to be dwindling due to the urge of lighting that stub. I tell you, this luxury of wanting to burn that roll and blowing it is not a cheap exercise. With the government's ever changing taxation rules and ever increasing price, the expenses are getting way out of hands.
They are so clever are they not those flocks at the government. They know we the ones who are hooked can not let go of it easily and hence no matter how much they tighten their grips on taxation, we won't resent, we won't give up!! We will spend every single penny to buy a cigarette and smoke it out! That is no way to control or decrease the frequency of smoking. If they really care there would have been rehabilitation centers and counselling services. But, they do not care, the least a government does is care about the people.
The main reason for me venturing out to write this blog is to make sure that I do not go again in venturing out to smoke another puff of the cigarette and even if I do it will all go in here so that I can keep track of my smoke intake and figure out how to reduce it by reviewing it. This blog will also serve as an account for those who want to quit smoking or to those who will want to research on these topics. I will try to be as regular as I can.
