I had some breaks in my smoking career, I think the longest was about 6 months, but I kept going for most of the time.

I came across an interesting TED talk today about breaking bad habits, especially smoking.

They were promoting a mindfulness smoking. So no checking steemit or blockfolio while enjoying some blue dust.

##### <center>No, no total focus on the cigarette</center>


Every smoker knows somewhere that it is kind of stupid what we are doing.

There are endless reasons to stop and only one to go on.

##### <center>Addiction</center>


So I will smoke every cigarette from now on laser focused on the taste and smell that the knowledge that it is bad for me goes from my head into my bones. 

##### <center>Kind of from an intellectual level to a emotional level</center>

I think there is nothing I can do in my life which would me so many benefits than to stop smoking....

<center>Not eaten healthier</center>

<center>Not saving more money</center>

<center>Not working out more</center>


All those things would be good, too of course but quitting cigarettes is like all of those 3 combined.

I will keep you updated
