The love that heals addiction

Khorshed Langrana

I Started smoking in college because I didn't want to be different from the others. When I went to work in the media I kept on, since everyone around me smoked. This continued for a number of years.

As time went on I became increasingly concerned about reports that certain illnesses were connected with smoking, but I seemed unable to give the habit up. Every time I was under pressure of any sort, I reached out for a cigarette to "calm my nerves." Also, there were migraine attacks and bronchial chest trouble. My desk was flooded with every imaginable cure for the smoking habit, and I tried everything, but with no result.
