Smoking: Are You Still Hooked? Delay Away Your Nicotine Desires

Are you one of five Americans still smoking despite the fact that more than 400,000 smokers die each year from smoking-related diseases?
Although smoking is declining, are you among the 25% of smokers worried about the economy, who find that fretting over it is driving you to smoke more each day, or are you among the additional 13%, who’ve delayed quitting, according to a 2008 survey?
Are you trying to quit or wanting to quit? You can lick this dangerous habit, as I discovered years ago. (Haven’t touched a cigarette in about 15 years.)
You also should know, that, in mid-June, as the New York Times reports, more than four decades after the surgeon general declared smoking a health hazard, the Senate passed a landmark bill (The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act) that empowers the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate the nicotine content and chemicals in cigarettes and to impose strict controls on the making, marketing and advertising of cigarettes and other forms of tobacco.
Learn on my Better Habits Diet blog about the power of delaying or creative procrastinating, one of my favorite tactics that you can use to help kick any type of unhealthy habit.

Smoking Neighbor is Making Me Sick Just As Third-Hand Smoke Study Released

Aargh! I’m a victim of an obnoxious, self-destructive, late-night smoker!
Like clockwork, this nasty neighbor of mine lights up between 2 am and 3 am!
His or her awful habit is making me sick!
Lately, every morning, I wake up with a headache, scratchy throat and horribly sleep-deprived. (It’s tough to sleep when you’re having difficulty breathing with smoke filling your place). I’m exhausted! Now my hands are smelling of smoke!
It’s the most awful side effect after my recent move!
Yesterday, workers in my building gave me two electronic odor control/air purifying new aire, but that hasn’t helped much. I’m desperate!
Now, I’m doing research into air purifiers. I’m even considering moving again despite the fact that it would be a huge hassle!
Interesting that just as I’m dealing with the nasty, smoking neighbor, a new study came out that alerts us to the dangers of third-hand smoke! Thanks to Dr. Mercola for his take on this new study.
Hope I can find an air purifier today! This provides pretty interesting background info. In fact, right now I’m looking into the Way Healthier Home Air Purifier.
Wait! My neighbor is smoking right now! I’m so exhausted.
Does anyone have any advice for me?
