Smoking Reflection Essay

Name: Salomi Salimkhan Pathan
Student ID: 7361017
Word Count: 516 (excluding title, student information and references)


For this reflective essay, I interviewed one of my good friends, GB. He was my classmate in

junior high school. I decided to interview him as he has been through almost all the stages of the

transtheoretical model and has been successful in quitting smoking after being a chain smoker

for over 5 years. We decided to meet for the interview on a weekend last month.



At the beginning of the interview, he mentioned that he had begun smoking as an adolescent.

Primarily, peer pressure got him into this vicious circle, which later turned into an addiction.

Meanwhile, the death of a close one turned out to be an eye-opening incident for him. Listening

to the doctors explain how excessive smoking became a cause of death impacted him

intrinsically. It was at that moment that he decided to quit. He initiated his journey of quitting

with the use of nicotine gums. They did satisfy the nicotine intake that his body was used to, but

they still could not replace smoking. This made him try nicotine patches, which too failed to help

him quit. Moreover, these methods were not at all cost-efficient and made him spend even more

as he continued to buy cigarettes, which doubled the expense. After all these unsuccessful

attempts, he decided to visit his family doctor who educated him about the health risks. He

suggested GB to work on his self-control and not hang out with people who smoke while he is in

his quitting phase. He provided him with a diet chart and a sleeping schedule to improve his

health and advised him to become more physically active which would help release the body’s

natural calming chemicals (endorphins). This was the last stage of quitting for him, and he was

successful in it by staying determined and continuously not giving up no matter what.
