There is a good chance that you remember expressing this sentiment at one time or another when you were an active smoker. I want to make sure that you
recognize that when you were making such comments in the past that in reality the statement was never true. No one dies because he or she wants a cigarette.
While the term "dying for a cigarette" has no real validity, it is crucial to note that millions of people die every year because they would not
allow themselves to break free from cigarettes.
If you ever find yourself thinking that you are once again "dying for a cigarette," remind yourself that the reality of the situation is that you
are living healthier today and are likely going to live longer because your real desire now is to stick to the commitment that you made to never take another
puff!

Hello Joel, For a little over three weeks I have not been thinking I was dying for a cigarette because in my mind every time the odd thought would pop up
I would replace the picture in my mind with Bryan. I don't need to die for a cigarette because Bryan did it for me. I don't have the words for how
bad I feel for him and his family. I don't have the words to express my gratitude to them for possibly saving my life by sharing his story. But if
there is a God I think it happened for me. All of my gratitude forever, Debra Flower - Free and Healing for Twenty Three Days, 19 Hours and 25 Minutes,

Wow!, Joel, thanks for bringing this string to the top!
"There is a good chance that you remember
expressing this sentiment at one time or another when you were an active smoker. I want to make sure that you recognize that when you were making such comments in the past that in reality the statement was never true. No one dies because he or she wants a
cigarette." This is SO cool! I just came through a tough Christmas visit to my family and I love the
idea that when the thought "I am dying for a cigarette" comes, it is UNTRUE. WOW!
Thanks! Katie

I saw a title on the board that made me think of this one. Contrary to the popular use of such a title as this one, "Dying for a cigarette," in reality this very rarely occurs. I say very rarely because there are times when people do foolish things in order to go for a cigarette--like going out in a blizzard or hurricane or other dangerous condition to smoke or purchase a cigarette or a pack only to be killed from being out in the inclement condition. I suspect in those events you could say they were dying for a cigarette, although the reality of the situation is they died in pursuit of the cigarette. While "Dying for a cigarette" is quite an inaccurate representation of real life events, "dying from a cigarette" is an all too common occurrence--actually happening to thousands of people each day and worldwide, about 5 million people a year. Here are a few of our Freedom string that address this issue of dying from cigarettes:
