Which is harder? Quitting smoking or quiting your favorite sport?


Which is harder? Quitting smoking or quiting your favorite sport?I would constantly remind my friend that smoking is bad for his health. Eventually he had heard enough of it. He says that its really hard for him to stop and when he tried to for just 2 days, he felt very weak. Hes very dependent on cigarettes now. He made a deal with me. He said that if I quit basketball then he'd quit smoking. Quitting that sport would be really hard for me considering that Ive been playing it since I was 10 years old long before he started smoking at 15. I know that any athlete would feel the same way if he was to quit his/her sport. I mean I also feel somewhat weak and very stressed out to even just part away from that sport for a couple of days. I just want to know which is harder or are they just equally hard? And should I take his offer?

dont take his offer-quitting smoking is harder but you dont have to be miserable with him-make a new agreement so you can still play (since its healthy) and get him to quit cuz thats not healthy!

of course quiting smoking
sport is not an addiction but way of life, and once you reach different age or interest level you just go on into something different:))

smoking? it has no boundaries, no age limit, no limits at all, that f..ing addiction

You must realize this is an addiction for him. Your situation is not harming your health. You can't take on his problems and choices. You need to continue to play ball and keep fit. Let him come to his own realizations, he is not ready to quit and may never be. Do not take on the role like this is your problem to fix... he needs to fix himself... that is not your job.....

You wont get nowhere with telling to quit, He can only do that if He wants to, get of his Back and make Him start playing ball with you,sport is a good way to get His lungs wanting more oxigen, Smoke kills the oxigen and the cigarette will kill Him, I am a ex Smoker of 45 years, Cigarette free for the last four years, I can only recomend it , Help him but dont push!

Good luck!

Do not quit your sport, he can can quit something bad without the need for you to quit something good.
