Smoker For Three Decades Shows The Way To Quit Smoking

Bandar Seri Begawan – Most smokers think it is simply too hard for them to kick the habit. But a smoker for three decades believes and proves to anyone that it is possible to quit smoking.

Radio Television Brunei (RTB) brings you the experience of a heavy smoker who has made up his mind to quit.

Awang Kipli bin Haji Nordin has been smoking for almost 30 years.

He says he regularly smokes a packet a day, and can even smoke up to three packs. But just recently, he has decided to give up this habit.

It has not been long since Awang Kipli decided to quit smoking and says that the craving to smoke is still present but he remains determined not to start smoking again.

And it seems as though his determination has paid off.

He already feels healthier and more alert.

Unlike before when he was smoking, he used to fall asleep while driving.

Awang Kipli also raises an interesting point.

As cigarette manufacturers mix over 4000 dangerous chemicals into each cigarette, people still continue to spend money on them, some even going to greater lengths just to satisfy a craving.

He said the manufacturers only care about making money and never care about people’s health.

It's the smoker who gets sick from smoking not the manufacturers.

From his experience, Awang Kipli wants people to know that it is possible to quit smoking even after 30 years.

He cited many ways to giving up smoking ranging from taking medication or sweets for a change to simply saying ‘No’ to smoking for the sake of being healthy.

Praise should be given to Awang Kipli for making his declaration so publicly.

He pledged to quit smoking in front of the Minister of Health, at the start of the "30 Days Without Cigarettes" campaign.

Awang Kipli said he wants to make himself an example that it is never too soon to quit smoking. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
