The Smoker's Test
Let's go back in time, back to our smoking memories of old. Forget what you've learned at
Freedom for just a second. Think back to when you were still heavily smoking in all your ignorant bliss, before ever contemplating this awesome quit. Now
carefully read each of the following 20 statements with your old smoking mind-set. In that mind, answer TRUE or FALSE to
each question. If you can, write down your answers. Be "honest" with you for just a few minutes. Try hard to
remember what it was like back then. What was your thinking while smoking? What did you tell yourself? Indulge me, please .....
