When you have exhausted all avenues on the road to stopping smoking, there is another way according to Colin Farrell who had become as famous for the cigarettes that hung permanently from his nonchalant grin as he was for his blockbuster Hollywood film roles. Now we no longer see Colin Farrell with his once most staple of accessories and all thanks to what he describes as a sort of a break-up letter that he wrote his tobacco flavoured friends.
Supposedly, having spent one whole day with his packet of cigarettes alone and very consciously smoking his way through them, he then sat to write a letter to them, thanking them for helping him through the tough times etc. The actor has not looked back since and has managed getting over his addiction without the aid of such smoking cessation products as Nicorette patches or Champix.
The number of people trying to quit smoking using the help of the NHS programmes is three times the amount that it was 10 years ago but the success rates have plateaued over the last 2 years and are lower than they were approximately 10 years ago.
Perhaps Colin’s approach is worth a try before one is finally ready to give up on the greatest romance of their lives.
