Since we are at one of those days where we take a little time out to recognize and appreciate our father's, I thought I would bring this one up. First, if your father still smokes, let him know you will be behind him when he is ready to quit. Maybe pass along some of the materials that had the most pronounced impact on your quit.
More importantly, if you are a father, recognize the example that you are now setting for your children. Share with them your lifetime experience in regards to tobacco. How you took it up never really recognizing the addictive nature, how you lost control, how you likeley got to the point where you desperately wanted to quit, how you quit and how you must now always keep your guard up to stay off. Make them realize that you never take your quit for granted. Hopefully the message will pass down.
If you lost a father to a smoking related disease, recognize the sadness you and many of your closest family and friends experienced and are still feeling on days such as today and recognize that you never want to put your loved ones through a similar situation.
Your parents gave you life, but you are the only one now who can make decisions that effect the real quality and in regard to smoking, the probable duration of your life. To live longer and to be able to share your life and time with others for longer always remember to never take another puff!
