If you’re struggling with whether or not you want to stop, ask yourself, what are you giving up? One of my clients recently shared with me that upon telling a friend that he was giving up smoking, his friend asked him, “what are you giving up? Actually, you are giving up: polluting your lungs, bad breath, throwing money out the window, ingesting harmful chemicals that will eventually kill you and much more. Are you really giving up anything? If you are really honest with yourself, you are only gaining by giving up cigarettes, explains Chris.
