Belén Rodríguez, who turns 59 in March, has begun 2025 with the first sessions of her chemotherapy treatment. The journalist is focused on her recovery and, to achieve this, she has made an important decision: to quit smoking after 40 years without taking the cigarette out of her mouth. In recent years, he has confessed, he has never gone more than four or five hours without smoking.
The collaborator began her treatment to stop smoking on December 28. This is what he said in the video he shared on his social networks this Saturday, January 4: “In this video I tell you about my first days of quitting tobacco. I share it in case my experience can be of use to someone. I’m finding it easier than I thought“, he pointed out.
And he added: “In my case it was choosing between tobacco and my life, and I chose to liveTobacco is not a vice or a habit, it is an addiction. Nicotine is a poison that kills. If I have been able to leave her, so can you“She said that Esperanza Gracia had an alarm set on her cell phone to notify her when she had to take the pill.
After five days of treatment he has stopped smoking. She made the decision to start treatment about a month after announcing her illness: “It took me about a month to quit smoking because I wanted to be sure that I could do it well and with determination and that I would succeed.”
The journalist recalled: “I even woke up at night and smoked a cigarette. In recent years I have never gone more than 4 or 5 hours without smoking.” Therefore, she is very proud of herself: “Above all it is an achievement because I don’t feel like it at all. During the three coffees in the morning I smoked compulsively and I was afraid. And right now if they offered me a cigarette I wouldn’t do it. Now I see tobacco as my enemy, I see it as something disgusting“. And he has sentenced: “I don’t understand why I haven’t tried it before.”.
In addition to quitting smoking, the journalist has not left the gym either, where she goes in the company of friends to keep her mind entertained and occupied with something other than the disease, for which she has already started her chemotherapy treatment. He made the decision to quit smoking before starting chemo. It was at the end of November when he announced his diagnosis.
