Are you smoking up your life?
Smoking is one of the causes of preventable death. Next to cancer, especially of the lung and mouth, it may lead to atherosclerosis, COPD, bronchitis, osteoporosis, infertility, persistent cough and stained teeth. If you are a smoker willing to quit here are some tips you can start with.

2. Start thinking seriously about yourself! And to start thinking you do not have to be a "fool" with a "roll of tobacco" in your hand. Think how and why you started smoking in the first place.
Identify the triggers that forces you for an extra cigar.
3. How many cigars do you smoke in a day? Start reducing the number.
4. Do you have a quit plan as yet? Decide on the date and work up to it in your mind. Start envisioning yourself as a new person, happier and healthier, after quitting.
5. Smoking is a breathing exercise but a harmful one. So instead of smoking start practising pranayama which is healing, relaxing and above all, is free.

St. John's wort are some herbs that can help your decision to stop smoking.
