Joel's Halloween Fearfest
Halloween is a holiday where people try to scare themselves. It is a perfect holiday to address irrational fears people have regarding quitting as well as the frightening realities faced by people who smoke and do not quit. For those looking for blood and guts, some of the videos linked below will meet those needs too. What is really scary is that all of the stories and pictures related in those videos are real. Scaring yourself to death is really pretty hard to do. Smoking yourself to death isn’t. Don’t use fear to trick yourself into not quitting–treat yourself to a healthier and happier life by making and sticking to a personal commitment to never take another puff.
