5 ways to stop Smoking
Present: I know you’re no expert in this subject, but I gave up puffing that ugly stick for the past 2.5 months but recently had the inclination to go back to my wayward habits again, what can you offer?
Future: I have not tried the patches, gums, psychologists, yoga, etc but what I can offer you is my advice!
In line with the Lifestyle Recalibration, this is a good opportunity for you to STOP, once and for all! Here are Marc Woo’s 5 ways to stop smoking!
- Move to Singapore - If the price and convenience won’t deter you, I’m pretty sure being seen as a social outcast will! Imo, smoking in Singapore is like taking coke in the UK. Not cool!
-
- The legal area to smoke – A small little yellow box on the street.
-
- Pictures on the cigarette boxes sold in Singapore
-
- Run Marathons - With this goal at hand, you will be disciplined and learn to maintain focus. Unfortunately this also applies to sweating out everyday at the gym/runs and compromising on food!
- Sperm Count Meter – Adopt paternal inclinations, develop strong desires to have kids and embed paranoia that every puff you take will literally kill off millions of your little offsprings. Like watching someone get kicked in forbidden territory, you’d somehow mentally share the pain!
- Fancy “that sort” of Woman - I know it’s easier said than done, but I had experienced being in long term relationships with women (gals) who are totally against the idea of their man smoking. These sort of women will get so upset that you wont have any sort of comfort until you promise them (and deliver) the world. They go absolutely mental if they catch a whiff of tobacco from you and they will inflict pain so great that it’s probably worthwhile to quit smoking. And no amount of perfume, mint or medicated oil will hide the smell. Tried and tested!
- Mind over Matter – Finally, it’s just being mentally strong. Grow a pair, take the dive and say eff off to ever smoking again. And stick to it!
Good luck!

I am totally sold on China now, Thanks! =D
Also, I was wondering why you didn’t choose to go into Banking because your emphasis of networking, etc. seem to be a better fit for the likes of Morgan Stanley. My only plan in the near future is trying to secure an internship with them, not as courageous as your plans ahead, but I’m getting there!
Firstly, my family is from mainland China, so I do speak it (kinda). I’m trying to perfect it with reading 1 article a day and learning new words, but gosh, is that a challenge, probably as hard as you trying to stay away from the smokes!
Secondly, I did really wanted to go a few years back, because I love watching documentaries (geeky, I know!) about China and just the parentless and the old in general. I was watching this programme on the aging population and care in old people’s home on BBC iplayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00phjk0/Can_Gerry_Robinson_Fix_Dementia_Care_Homes_Episode_2/), I couldn’t even last for 10/60 minutes. It literally tears you up inside!!! So the danger of me venturing into the rural areas might probably mean I’ll spend the hours that I’m there weeping like an idiot, or just stressed out! Though I’m making myself stronger/tougher, so hopefully, when I graduate, I’ll be ready to be shipped off to China! As long as the Mother is willing to loosen the reigns, which I’m not worried about because I can be very persuasive!
Not as persuasive to stop people from smoking unfortunately. When I read it, the thought of you being a smoker rippled in my head and honestly speaking, your place in my head fell by quite a bit! Though 2 and a half months without anything is VERY impressive! because I am like that with anything meaty/foody, the urge to climb out of bed in the night and dip my head in that fridge is WAY too tempting, I know it sounds strange, but you have no idea!
Do you see people actually stand in those boxes? on the streets? how embarassing for the smokers, even makes you feel sorry for them!…
Also, your “Adopt paternal inclinations, develop strong desires to have kids” made me laugh a little. No one is forcing you to have them if you don’t have the desire to do so, it’s not a desire that you set to develop… do you? (hmm…)
A ciggy a day, keeps the pu**y away.
Didn’t know what is the tone of this blog. Pls delete the earlier comment if inappropriate! : )
Patrick, it’s ok. It’s freedom of speech and I love that quote!
Ellie,
I think your mother would not have any issues if you wanted to go to China to study/volunteer/work, especially given that you are of Chinese blood. Every parent will be proud if their kid is pro-heritage.
Eating in the middle of the night is not a good idea! I have learned to cut down on eating beyond 10pm and gradually loosening on the carbs as well. I don’t suffer tho (since I motivate myself by signing up for a marathon), and I feel healthier (too many stories of people dying to health related diseases).
“When I read it, the thought of you being a smoker rippled in my head and honestly speaking, your place in my head fell by quite a bit!” – Lol, can I kindly direct you to point number 4?
Adopting paternal instincts is something can be nurtured! Just be around little toddlers all the time, play with them, and think about the legacy you want to leave behind (you know when you are successful and own an empire and that you’d need someone with preferably your own blood with great calibre to take over everything). Easy.
Hey,
My parents thinks I’m going to get mugged/kidnapped/raped/etc. if i go on my own, or with anyone! I think I just have one of those faces… Like today, when this girl who’s 23 came to have dinner, she was talking to me in Chinese, I admit I talk slow, but she was talking to me as though i’m 3!!! AND her opinion is, if I venture into China, people my age would devour me in a second! because I’m an easy target!? I think I’m a tough b*tch! but when everyone says you’re naive, you start to question the perception you have of yourself, and my only argument is and always has been “I’m not!” which,I admit, isn’t very good, but how do you change other people’s perception of you? which I think I do need to change it because I don’t think having a face/characteristic that makes you an easy target is very helpful, but I don’t know..
I actually scrolled up and read what point 4 is, lol, I shall take that as a compliment, but seriously, what kind of ‘gal’ or guy wants their other half smoking like a chimney! unless you’re a gold digger ofcourse! also, your exes are gorgeous chicks by the sound of it, I hope you didn’t puff them away!
ok don’t want to get into a debate about this children thing, because it’s a subject that I have quite strong opinions on.
1. Being around toddlers, especially, scares me, they hit me with stuff and their cherubic faces makes me too weak at the knees to get angry, so i don’t think I’ll be having those in this lifetime
2. To leave an empire to your children- adopted or your own? Not a good idea. I certainly wouldn’t. They need to get out there, face the harsh reality and make something of themselves. I wouldn’t leave a penny for my children, rather give it all away to Charity than give them any headstart in business.
