DAY 1
Welcome to the majority. Only 26 percent of adult Americans smoke, and they nearly all wish they
didn't. Public opinion holds smokers in low esteem. When a person lights up a cigarette, others see a
poor soul lacking in self-control, a victim. To put it unkkindly, a drug addict. After all, precious few
people smoke because they want to. They smoke because they can't stop. Yet they are surrounded
by people who could stop and did. How does that make them feel?
Bad. As you did until today. No you have crossed to the other side. You can hold up your head. You
can sit in the non-smoking section. You don't have to subject yourself to other people's whims by
asking the sniveling questions "Mind if I smoke?" Now you're as good as they are.
Twenty minutes after your last cigarette, nicotine ceased to affect your blood pressure, pulse, and
body temperature. Within 8 hours, the carbon monoxide level in your blood drastically fell, and
increased oxygen is now reaching all the tissues of your body.
