I Quit Smoking Thanks To Falun Gong

I learned about Falun Dafa in 1996. Back then I was a chain smoker. Smoking was the first thing I did after I woke up. I could live without food but not cigarettes, and my health deteriorated. Because of my chain smoking, I had inflammation in my trachea and asthma. I still smoked while I was treated for my smoking related illnesses.

I tried to quit and ate candy, drank a kind of tea, smoked a kind of cigarette, and took the kind of drug that were all supposed to help me quit smoking. None of them worked. I quit one day and smoked again the next day. I quit in the morning and smoked in the afternoon. Eventually, I shredded all my cigarettes thinking that would be the only way I could quit. In the end, I had the urge to smoke and begged a friend for a cigarette, which was so embarrassing. A colleague of mine said to me, "If you can quit smoking, I can quit eating."

I finally was able to give it up completely. One day a friend of mine told me that Falun Gong was good for my health and asked me whether I was interested. I agreed at once.

I felt fine when I did the exercises. Then a practitioner told me that I needed to study the teachings. When I read about quitting smoking in Zhuan Falun, I was so excited thinking that finally I could quit. With the book in my hands I said to Teacher that I must quit smoking. It was just like magic that I did not think about smoking the next day and it was easy to do. The days went by and I have not smoked since then. I did not feel bad or have any adverse reactions, and my colleagues were shocked to see me as a non-smoker.

As I gradually gained a better understanding of the teachings and improved my character and became a better person, my physical condition got better by the day. During the past 14 years, I have not spent a dime on medical expenses and have not needed a single pill.

There are no words that can adequately express the degree of my appreciation for Teacher and Falun Dafa.
