Ways to Quit Smoking (Part 1)


I think now you want actually quit smoking,this post will outline some of the major ways to help you give up smoking.

Action
Before you reach the day you have chosen to quit, you need to know how you are going to support yourself in your goal of becoming a non smoker. Are you going to use nicotine replacement therapy? If so will it be gum, patches or the spray? Perhaps you are going to try using medications. If you have decided to go cold turkey you may want to consider joining a support group or counseling session.
Find out about each method and then make your decision.

1. Nicotine replacement therapy
Nicotine based stop smoking aids generally come in three types i.e.
A.     Gum,
B.     Patches or
C.     Nasal Spray.
Supporters of this approach say it makes quitting easier as you help the body slowly cure its addiction to nicotine. These products should only be used under medical supervision and are not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, anybody with severe health problems or recent stroke victims. 
A. Gum
The tissues in your mouth are extremely absorbent so nicotine based gum is often used to help wean heavy smokers off their nicotine habit. You do need to remember that this gum is another source of nicotine which is a highly toxic substance adversely affecting your body. Do not exceed the recommended level of use despite the fact that nicotine gum is available without a prescription. And it is worth bearing in mind that quite a number of ex smokers become addicted to nicotine gum instead. This can cause its own problems as you are only supposed to use the gum for six months.
The gum can cause nausea, mouth sores and irritation of your throat, a racing heartbeat as well as leaving a bad taste in your mouth.

B. Patch
Nicotine patches are generally only recommended for a period of three to six months to help reduce your withdrawal symptoms. The theory is that this sticker will release low levels of nicotine into your body thus helping you to reduce your dependency on this highly addictive substance. The patches are convenient as you can wear them somewhere inconspicuous so long as they are on the upper part of your body.
Patches can cause skin irritation and sleep problems – speak to your doctor as he may want to reduce the strength of the patch. Studies have shown that patches are not particularly effective in those that smoke less than 10 cigarettes a day. You should never use a patch whilst you are still smoking unless advised to by your doctor.

C. Nasal Spray
The lining of your nose is one of the most absorbent places in your body so some doctors advocate a nicotine based spray for the initial 3 to 6 month period.
As the above products contain nicotine, side effects are common and include dizziness, insomnia and in the cases of patches, some nasal and throat irritation. People with a history of breathing problems such as Asthma should not use this form of nicotine replacement therapy. It is not particularly suitable for those that suffer from sinusitis or nasal polyps as it can exacerbate both these conditions.

Fact About Smoking And Lung Cancer:

Hey Friends I did not write this article mu self, I found it on the web,I tough it may help to share it with you here guys,tell me what do you thin about:



Here's a fact: I'm turning 20 in June 2005, and I'm not a smoker! Nor do I drink liquor. Bleh!

I just don't see the point. Smoking doesn't do anything beneficial to the body. At least beer can relax your body and ease stress, but smoking just eats away your lungs, as shown here. All it can get you is social acceptance with the "in" crowd, or make you look "attractive".

In the words of Little Lulu, "It makes their breath stink, their teeth yellow and their eyes watery! People say they smoke because it makes them looks attractive. Yeah right, attractive to who? Frankenstein?"





Well, I respect the right of those who want to smoke, I have no right to tell them what to do. I just hope this would be an effective visual example of what smoking practically does to your lungs! But I'm afraid it's still too cute to evoke fear!




Not sure if this really belongs in "pop art"...

I remember a friend told me that “Smokers don’t get old because they die young.”
This is true if you think about it.
Most smokers die in their middle age. Approximately 4 million people die every year around the world because of smoking.
When you decide to quit smoking, commit to it. There must be no doubt or any negative views about how hard it is to quit. You must focus yourself about the benefits of achievements.

Smokers who successfully conquered their craving show that they have the capability to quit.

Anyone can give up smoking.
It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been smoking but the fact that you stop is a great decision. List the reasons for quitting; this is to have the strong will of doing the act.
Planning is the stepping stone to success. And these plans must be certainly followed.

If you can’t quit instantly you could do so by decreasing the tar amount in the cigarettes that you use. But don’t smoke more than the usual number of cigarettes that you puff. An increase of the number of sticks means more nicotine for your body. Lessen the number of sticks you smoke. Instead of the whole stick smoke half of it.

Refrain from lighting your cigarette in 1 hour. Decide in advance on how many sticks you will smoke for the day. Remember to cut down not to increase your intake.

A change of eating pattern would assist in cutting down. With each meal take something which would not lead to smoking a cigarette. Replace the cigarette with fruits or juice, this will make you healthier and will detoxify your body. Cutting down is not a substitute for stopping.

When you set a quantity of cigarette per day you should stick to it and later on probably lessen the target number. Don’t throw the butts in your ashtrays for it will leave an awful scent that will remind you of the dump you are setting in your system.

Change the places on where you put your cigarette so you would crack the automatic reach. Make smoking difficult. Don’t buy cigarettes on cartons; instead wait until you finish one before buying another pack. Don’t bring cigarettes to work and home so getting one wouldn’t be easy.
