How to curb smoking during Ramadhan.

Most doctors will suggest quitting smoking in the Month of Ramadhan. As for some people are not afraid to drop dead of heart attack or lung failure, so they keep on smoking like nobody business all the other day, but when it comes to the Ramadhan, they dare not smoke. An example of that some people is me

Anyway, fasting is the only time to ensure one is smoke free from dusk till dawn, where one willingly by the order of god, shall not put in his rongga rongga anything be it food or whatever lah, or else, one will be sent to hell to smoke forever. Also included in the instruction is not to have sex or masturbate, whether purposely or accidentally. Hik, how does anyone accidentally masturbated? And also some other things that we cant do during ramadhan.

amik kau, mampu? This is not chain smoker, this is machine gun smoker

Anyway, I read somewhere that smoking is not about addiction, but its about habit. For someone to stop smoking he needs to stop the habit of smoking. The chemical compounds in a cigarette are not harmful enough to make one addictive to smoking.

The problem most smokers have in quitting is to stop the habit of putting something between the lips, inhaling and exhaling the smoke and the action of moving the hands down and toward the lips regularly or the habit of must have a ciggy after every meal.

So in order to do this, they suggest we do something else to break the habit. Such as eating chewing gum, eat, or any activities that might make us forget to smoke.

I also read that you can stop smoking anytime; even if you failed you should try to do it again, and again. If a person failed to stop smoking, it does not mean he cannot stop smoking permanently. We must try repeatedly until we succeed.

Last night, I could not sleep again, yes again this insomniac is really bugging me. For once I wish I could be as normal human being and sleep at night, when we are supposed to sleep.

Anyway, while I was watching the tele, a lady doctor came out and gives some tips on quitting smoking. She said Ramadhan is the best time to stop smoking, because most everyone managed to not smoke while fasting. I know someone who do not eat and drink but only smoke during ramadhan, but that is another story.



But as soon as hearing the azan, all smokers will run to their ciggy and end up smoking more then they usually do over a period of time. I know someone who can finish a whole box of 14 cigarettes in the time frame of 2 hours. Buy the way, that person is yours truly, me.





So she said, one way of doing it is to delay your sahur. Try to have sahur as close as possible to the imsak time. By doing so, you would have no time to smoke after your meal and had to continue fasting. Doesn’t that sound very convincing isn’t it? Somehow it sounded workable.

Well, I am trying to do that today, and guess what? The longer I wait for the imsak, the more I smoke, and it is only 2 am now. If I wait until 5, I might have burn my lung.

So I guess her advice is to those who sleep at night and not wait until 5 o’clock to have his sahur.

So i assume, since it does not applicable to me, i will continue to be a chain smoker until my lung fail to work or i have a heart attack.

Its not my fault i cannot sleep.
