I lit my first cigarette back in 2014 and i smoked for the next 9 years. I am not an addict and i came to realize this a few weeks ago when i visited my aunty in Nairobi, Kenya. I stayed for three full weeks without smoking. I never felt as if i needed to and although i wanted to, i just let the feeling fly past me. Why is this? I learnt that the greatest asset i had was my mind and i could control what i thought about. I learnt to ask myself, if i wouldn't smoke today, would i die? Would i grow any younger or older? If the answers were in the negative, then i was good to go.
