ITV REPORT Liverpool to stub out smoking at children's football matches Liverpool will be stubbing out smoking at children's football matches Credit: pa Smokefree Sidelines Liverpool will see adults who attend Liverpool Youth Football League matches from 2019/20 being asked not to smoke or vape whilst they are watching matches or at training sessions. Over 465 football teams play in the age groups up to under-11s in Liverpool with about 40,000 adults coming to cheer them on throughout the season. In Liverpool, whilst only about 15 per cent of adults smoke, research shows that if children are around adults who smoke they think it is more common than it actually is. Credit: pa Councillor Paul Brant from Liverpool City Council said "We know that children copy what they see and that a child who grows up around smokers is three times more likely to grow up to be a smoker. Smokefree Sidelines is all about setting a great example for our children and making sure they have a healthy future"5 points

You really need to break this cycle you are caught up in Juan of connecting smoking with things that happen in your daily life. Those stressful things will happen to you no matter if you smoke or don't smoke. Do you really want to keep trading your quit for a 5 second rush of dopamine that gives you that short lived pleasurable feeling because that's what you keep doing and that my friend is what is keeping your addiction alive, fully awake and demanding you keep servicing it? I can't think of a worse trade-off. Do whatever you have to do but never, never, never light up a cigarette and take a puff. You deserve better than being stuck in a constant cycle of early withdrawal! There's only one way to break that - NOPE!! You have 30 hours quit now, add another 24 to that then after that is done, add another 24 the next day. Just focus 1 day at a time for now - just quit for today!3 points

Juan, I'm happy you keep trying to quit. It is clear that you know life is better as a non-smoker. Still, those first few hours and days are really tough. Once you make it through them, things slowly get better. With time, a lot better. Do yourself a favor. Commit to never taking another puff (NOPE) and, if you are struggling and tempted to light up, reach out here first and post an SOS. You can do this. It is tough early on but quitting is very doable. The long term rewards to a smoke free life are worth the early struggles. You just have to commit to NOPE.3 points

Congrats on getting past day 1 AGAIN Juan. I kinda get the feeling that you're still not completely ready to quit. You want to, which is good, but you also have to be ready to quit. That means throwing out all smoking related items you have. Sticking close and SOS'ing when you feel yourself caving to a crave. I promise you that when you truly are ready you WILL not relapse over and over again. Instead you'll do anything and everything necessary to keep your quit.2 points
