subject: Smoking Tobacco Cigarettes While At Your Computer [print this page] Are you someone who has to stay at your computer a lot? Do you smoke tobacco cigarettes? If your answer is yes to both of these questions, then you know that you might be having a problem controlling how many cigarettes you are smoking while you sit there. You are probably not alone either. It is very easy to puff your way through a pack of cigarettes in no time because you can catch yourself lighting one right after another. You could be either keeping one burning in the ashtray beside you constantly or even holding one in your mouth while you type and research.
So, how can you break this terrible habit? That will depend on how badly you want to stop doing it. If you have begun smoking more because you spend so much time at the computer, then you are only worsening your smoking habit. One way you might be able to curb the habit is by not keeping your cigarettes close at hand. Put them in another room so when you want to smoke you will have to get up and go into the other room to get them. If you are perhaps working a paying job at your computer and are unable to get up and down as you wish, try placing only a few cigarettes at a time beside you so you know you will run out before time for a break if you smoke too many. This could help you pay more attention to the number you are smoking and regulate it more closely.
Of course, the best way to eliminate this problem completely is to eliminate the smoking completely, but so many tobacco smokers have tried repeatedly to do this and just can not seem to be successful at it. There is another way you might be able to reduce the amount of nicotine you are using while at your computer and that is by purchasing an electric cigarette to use instead.
It is not recommended that you mix using an electric cigarette and smoking tobacco at the same time, so you should make up your mind to only use an e cigarette consistently. When you use the e cigarette, you will not need a lighter or an ashtray because you will not have to light and burn it. Since the e cigarette only produces a vapor when you puff on it, you will not have annoying smoke constantly in your eyes and lungs when you are not using it. There is no real smoke associated with the e cigarette anyway, so at the very least you will be eliminating that. You also do not get the tar from the e cigarette because there is no tobacco to be burned.
If you are not able to stop smoking while you work at your computer, at least try an electric cigarette and perhaps you will find that it will satisfy you as well as the tobacco cigarettes without as many of the harmful aspects of tobacco.
