Today's The Times runs extracts from a new book about the behind the scenes personal dramas of the candidates running for the US presidency in 2008. High calorie gossip feed, but one revelation was that Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, was less than enthusiastic about his bid and only gave her support after extracting some concessions.
"It was only after he promised to quit smoking, be home on Sundays and attend his daughters’ parent-teacher meetings and music recitals that she finally swung behind his bid." All very heart-warming, but in relation to his stopping smoking this should serve as a great counter-example to those who put off quitting because their life seems too stressful.
Imagine running for the Democratic candidacy and then for President of the United States. Now there's a stress-free life! Quitting whilst your life is genuinely stressful - rather than the false stress of a nicotine withdrawal - means that many of those smoking triggers get trampled underfoot. Waiting for a time of tranquillity is just another excuse not to quit.
Will we be seeing the "Obama Guide to Quit Smoking"? A marketing pipe dream.
Yes We Can! [Notice the power of propaganda. I will come back to this another time to create our own positive propaganda slogans.]
