Nicotine Addiction

I have had a strong urge to write about this topic but never had the inspiration too. Several people in my life have and still do smoke cigarettes on a daily basis and regardless of the health facts I present them and the pictures I show them. They never seem to change their mind. Nicotine is a carinogenic chemical that when burned releases toxins that can cause cancer and many other serious health problems. I have had multiple family members die of cancer, My dad was the first one that was diagnosed when I was alive. He was diagnosed on a warm spring day and all I could think about was how I was going to lose someone who has done so much and effected me in many ways in my life. THe thing that bothers me is the fact that people attempt to use the phrase "I can't Stop, I'm addicted" a lot these days. When in reality all it takes to beat anything in your life is the willpower to stop. And there is always several stop smoking methods that people swear to work but in reality it is all a mental battle.

The fact of the matter is that if you put your mind to it, You can accomplish anything. At the risk of sounding like a Disney movie, Life is what you make it.
