I now have an added incentive to
quit
the habit of
smoking
besides health reasons and the fact that I want to stop and I am going to do my level best and then some to succeed. When I think about having a cigarette, I will think about this car. Note: Mind diversion tactic!

YOU CAN DO IT
Most people who have
quit
smoking
have had at least one unsuccessful attempt in the past. It,s not important how many times you try to quit. What,s really important is that eventually you stay quit.
