Katie Piper – Smoke Swap Day 11
It has dawned on me, just how much time I have wasted everyday of my life when I smoked. Instead of spending my days and nights puffing away on cigarettes I could have done just about anything else. Promote myself and my career, got fitter, learnt a new skill, spent the money travelling or see more of my friends and family. Instead I’ve been procrastinating and shortening my life expectancy.
The Smoke Swap experiment has already changed my life for the better. I’m in a more positive place and looking forward to getting on with my life as a non smoker.
I look at people addicted to smoking in a whole new light. Smoking is dumb and chavy. If I can stop smoking anyone man woman or child can. Sometimes it takes a big life changing event to make you realise how stupid it really is. Sometimes it is just allowing your self the time to question your actions and habits and then make a decision. Then, if you want to change them, have the convictions to follow them through to the end.
Life isn’t easy, it never is but I now believe there are no easy answers or solutions to be found when smoking a cigarette.

Amen Katie!
I smoke almost 3 packs a day back in the 70′s, and it was as if I just HAD to make time for this daily habit. If I were to add up all the time that I wasted smoking, not to mention the years it took off my life, I can only think how much more time I would have to be with family & friends.
SMOKERS: STOP SMOKING…NOW, PLEASE!
