It disguises itself to be my best friend but it is actually my worst enemy. At first, it felt like I had finally found a short-cut to peace. It is the softest consolation I love to embrace in times of grief and as strange as it may seem, consistent cigarette smoking have somewhat appeared to be doing a great job in alleviating my depression, at least for the few minutes I spend sipping on each cigarette stick. This has always been my means of frequently trying to escape challenging situations. At so many instances, I have tried to no avail to quit smoking but as ridiculous as it may sound, giving up smoking truly seems to be the easiest thing in the world. I know because I have done it several times.

Why would I want to give up something that is seemingly my regular source of comfort and consolation? Well, I have come to understand the importance of properly evaluating my risk reward before taking any step that involves a significant amount of risk. If it is not worth it, then there is no need venturing into it. I currently suffer several health issues and my entire life has been in total chaos. The unbearable bad breath from my own mouth, yellow teeth, frequent colds and coughs, difficulty keeping up with friends when playing sports and the waste of money, to mention but a few of my current agonies.

On average, a pack of cigarette costs $4.50 and most times, I smoke five packs per week. That adds up to $1170 spent on cigarette smoking per year. For a college student which I am, that sum is approximately 40% of the total pocket money I get from my parents for a year. Sitting back and counting the pain will only invoke a total emotional paralysis on me so instead, I need to take a swift action to completely give up smoking but there is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Now I must put an extra effort to achieve this, knowing fully well that nothing feels as good as the breeze of accomplishment.
