Module 2　No Drugs Several studies have found out that about 70%～80% of smokers have had a desire to stop smoking，but few have been able to do it. There are several reasons why it is hard to stop the habit.First，smoking is legal.Smokers can smoke without any fear of being caught.Second，cigarettes can easily be found anywhere.The price is also affordable.Third，when the smoker sees that he is not the only one smoking，he or she will not feel guilty about it. Apart from this，the desire to smoke can be postponed(延期)．A smoker can still delay smoking when not permitted to smoke.This is different from drug addiction，as the need for the drug cannot be delayed.The low level of smoking addiction makes people pay little attention to the danger of cigarette dependence. It is possible to give up smoking.There is one simple way that can help smokers to quit；that is to depend on the power of the brain.In other words，reorganise the unconscious(不清醒的)mind.It is very simple；we must tell ourselves that we want to stop smoking and want to live a healthy life. Positive words are more effective than negative ones.So those who want to stop smoking should not use the word “will” or “want to”；instead，they have to use positive words such as “no”or “dont”or “I dont want to smoke any more”． Imagine what you get from living a healthy life without smoking.The imagining process of what can happen should be done at least five times daily for 30 days.And it is important that when doing this the body and mind are in a state of relaxation and calm.Never underestimate(低估)the power of the brain.Where there is a will，there is a way.It can do wonders.
