Simple Methods to Battle Teen Tobacco Use



The CDC has currently estimated that 20% of high school students smoke regularly. Is your son or daughter part of that population? Although there are many resources to help our nation’s youth quit smoking, perhaps this statistic could be drastically remedied via simple prevention methods. Preventing tobacco use among teens can be an uneasy and challenging matter for parents.

As a parent, focusing on preventing tobacco use may be a lot easier than getting a teen to quit. Using the simple acronym “CLEP” may help you aid your son or daughter to stay on the right track.

Commend
Yes, praising your loved one for facing the struggles of peer-pressure and making the right decisions can go a long way. Receiving a, “I’m proud of you”, or a “I know it isn’t easy, but you are doing a great job” can significantly promote your son or daughter’s chances of continuing to stay smoke-free. Teens receive a considerable amount of pressure from peers, and the ability to make independent decisions can be difficult. However, knowing that mom and dad are proud of them for doing a good job can greatly enhance the chances of continuing to make the right decisions.

Lead
Teenagers may be greatly influenced by their peers, but parents also have a tremendous impact on many lifestyle decisions. You may not realize how much your teenager is looking at what you do and say, but they are subconsciously taking notes on every move you make. Nothing is more powerful than, “If Dad does it, it must be fine.” Express how much you are against your teen smoking by not doing it yourself.

Educate
Who said health class ended in school? Although your teen probably gets all the facts from school, there is no problem with you being a large part of the teaching process! Gather facts from sources, or work with a local youth services organization to get some ideas. Discuss ways to refuse tobacco, methods of using tobacco, or the long-term health effects. Teens hear “Smoking is bad for you” all of the time; make it credible by personally educating your teen with some real scenarios. Be sure to relay the importance of open communication, and to ask you if they have any questions.

Promote
Instilling the importance of healthy activities among your teenager is crucial in keeping them on the right track. Many teens begin to smoke out of boredom or stress. From chess club to the soccer team, counteract these feelings by encouraging extracurricular activities. Not only will these programs keep your son or daughter busy, but also provide skill building opportunities, leadership training, and even promote stress management.

As 1/5 of the high school student population regularly uses tobacco, there is an obvious concern to help teens get back on the right track. Rehab and treatment centers across the nation have funneled numerous teens through their programs; however, the real treatment can begin at home by preventing the habit before it begins.

Quit smoking cigarettes!!?? Yeah, right



I loved them. They were my solace, my trigger, my friends. They were part of my French heritage, so I told myself, so giving me the out as one of a culture with low disease and death rates.

But my closest friend, a CNS working in a retired living center described to me the fallout: “You’re at risk for cancers, emphysema, and strokes, for starters,” she said, despite my balking. “If you don’t quit smoking cigarettes,” she nagged, “I would hate to see you end up like my people here, gasping for breath, toting around oxygen tanks, needing help doing the simplest of tasks because you’re all stroked out.” So I agreed. I would quit smoking…if she would help me.

That’s the key to quitting cigs—using all the help you can get your desperate, hacking, trembling hands/self on, can wrap your resistant brain around. Here are some steps I took to quit smoking cigarettes, steps you, too, can take to one level or another:

-PREPARE BY READING UP ON QUITTING

The American Cancer Society offers free, thoughtful info on giving up the habit. The pamphlets are written in serious terms and at the same time use gentle language. If you need the soft approach, so you don’t feel like a freak, the ACS might be for you.

There are plenty of books on quitting--many informative, supportive, coaxing, humorous, brilliantly researched, and helpful. I can’t recall the title (it was about 15 years ago I quit smoking cigarettes), but you’ll know it when you see it, as it has something like twenty words in the title, all hyphenated: something like, The No-nagging-low-pressure-how-to-really-quit-smoking-cigarettes-book!

And it’s written by an MD offering info on how smokes are a dual drug…unlike any other: they are, he says, upper/downers. When you’re nervous or agitated, you take long…slow…drags and are tranquilized; when you’re logy, sluggish, tired, you take short.quick.puffpuffpuffs, and are instantly energized, hyped up.

Doc X exclaims, “No wonder it’s so hard to quit smoking!” He also defines another characteristic that helps us appreciate why we’re so hooked. He gives the times for onset, noting how there’s only one other drug, of all drugs (OTC, street, prescribed that hits the brain faster, and that’s crack cocaine. If I recall correctly, crack hits you in 3 seconds, heroin in 10, 7.

Cigarettes are harder to quit than heroin!

-INTERVIEW SUCCESSFUL QUITTERS

No need for brutal interrogation; just informally ask how others who stopped smoking did it. Here are a few tricks told to me:

1. Drink water. A lot of it. Our bodies take at least 8 ten-ounce glasses of water a day anyway, so whenever you feel the urge to puff, do water instead.

2. The oral act is a big part of smoking. Use a pencil, an imaginary butt, or even—if you’re brave—a real unlit cig, and each time you have the crave to drag, inhale really deeply and satisfyingly, instead.

3. Say, “If I still want a cigarette in 20 minutes, I’ll have one.” What? Give in? No. Give yourself permission to. BUT…truly wait the whole 20 minutes (for most cravings cycle through and pass away in 20 mins.). Then, here’s the trick, repeat the permit. If you still want a cigarette in 20 minutes, you can have one. The next thing you know, 8 hours have passed.

4. Reward yourself. First, when you plan to quit smoking cigarettes, note how much you spend on smokes. During white-knuckle moments, remember you have a treat coming. Use the same money you’d use on cigs to buy a toy, new bauble, health drink (not coffee!), magazine, DVD (yes, some of us smoke that much).

5. Use slogans. 12-step programs have something there. Easy does it. This too shall pass. I think I will have to wring the neck of the crazy driver in front of me.

Well, not that last one…but you get the idea. Do whatever works. Pray. Meditate. Run. Walk. Bike. Hike.

I did a lot of hiking. My friend drove us to Mt. Tam every day, and we scaled trails I bitched about, cried over, resented. But the tricks worked. For a year and a month, exactly. Then I stupidly picked up the lung bleeders again.

Quit smoking cigarettes? Aw, crap. Here we go again.

Carbon monoxide levels return to normal within eight hours. Your circulation improves after two months and your chance of a heart attack is cut in half after one year. Your risk of heart attack and stroke will match a non-smoker once you have been nicotine free for 10 years or more.

How About some Quit Smoking Help?



Smoking is one of the more destructive habits we can introduce in our lives and quit smoking help is very important to consider. The medical consequences become more and more alarming as knowledge deepens. 

Why do we start and why do then we continue to smoke. What make us stuck with the dumb habit? 

There are obvious connections between some situations in your professional as well as private life that for ever is related to the manipulation of a cigarette as a relaxing way out. I'm of course talking about the so called stress-factor. 

The cigarette is not only used to relax you after a tense situation but also during. I'm referring to for example a stressful conversation over the phone. We are all different as persons but for many of us the phone itself is regarded as pure stress. 

One very important problem about every form of abuse is if teenagers are involved. All forms of misuse are bad or harmful to the body and when the body isn't fully developed but in a growing stadium the harm is of course worsened. 

The younger the person the more sensitive the tissues and systems are for disturbances. Its easy to understand that the consequences of introduction to harmful influences are somewhat less if you begins at sixty-five than to start at the age at thirteen! 

One extreme form of early start is exposure from second hand smoking particularly when small children are involved! 

The growing body is very much sensible for toxic influence from aggressive and harmful substances. There are many reasons for that and one very important is that not every system is fully developed. This aspect is just the biological hazards and as such a reason enough not to expose the child for this environmental stress. 

There is an obvious possibility that such exposure in the long run will result in an early start of a personal abuse! 

The well known fact about all forms of abuse is that if or when you are struggling to stop the personal determination and stamina is very, not to say extremely important. 

The process is at least when the abuse is smoking ordinary tobacco more of a psychological process than a pure physical one. That's because the withdrawal or physical abstinence period are very short in comparison with every other drug out there. 

So the problem is to really get over the misuse more as a kind of bad habit like nail biting than to break a use of more potent drug. I know that many smokers wouldn't like that comparison but the fact is that nicotine as a stimulant gives a very short-lived effect. The longer and more intense the desired effect produced the greater the problem to break the abuse! 

Well let this be as it is - the fact is still that some help might be very vital in the actual situation. There is in such cases high demands for some form of quit smoking help. It could either be in form of personal assistance or by an effective personal program. 

Let nothing get in your way if and when you have made up your mind. Go for it - the longer you postpone the action the worse it will be. Another thing that you should consider is that your body never will be as young as it is today! The younger your body is to use as a platform for recovery the better obviously! 

And one thing to remember - there is no real possibility for a replay in life! 

Do you go all in? I certainly hope so!

The Rationale for Why it is Unhealthy to Intend to Kick the Habit of Smoking



The topic of how to break the habit of smoking tobacco products is one that thousands of adults despair about. Indeed, smoking tobacco is thought to be as hooking as many unauthorised narcotics and many who have strived to kick the habit of smoking see that it's potentially the most demanding matters they have come across!
Anyhow, it is absolutely not an unachievable contest, as the thousands of victorious former cigarette smokers that side with the ranks each year can vouch for,
The point of entry for virtually somebody that strives to break the habit of smoking tobacco is to make their mind up that this is what they're going to cause to happen. There's an acclaimed piece in a Star Wars screenplay where Yoda, Master of the Jedi advised plainly: Do, or do not. There is no 'try'. It appears somewhat irrational, but many adults who commit to make difficult changes in their lifestyle, for example, weight loss, watching their spending and having the ability to kick the habit of smoking, have discovered that quote highly valuable.
To deem you are in the mind to try to do something leaves you susceptible to failure. You're endeavouring to do this job, you are not physically doing it. It can sound confusing, but there is one distinction.
A suitable implement that many coaches and therapists use when guiding individuals who wish to kick the habit of smoking tobacco products is they should prove to themselves they are either a tobacco smoker, or they are not a cigarette smoker, Somebody who's an individual who doesn't smoke tobacco is not struggling to cease - he or she merely doesn't smoke cigarettes and that's all the end of the matter.
Again, this could seem basic but it is a method that appears to work for many adults. Contemplating themselves as a person who doesn't smoke cigarettes doesn't present them the privilege of cigarette smoking. Envisage your countless cigarette free cohorts. Does a single one imagine if they are going to have that cigarette first thing, or if they are going to smoke cigarettes while relaxing in the beer garden with you? The odds are is the response is no, they plainly do not smoke tobacco and that is all there is on the matter.
This may seem to you to be an exceptionally laid back and conceivably slightly illogical, method of intuitive reason that you must stop trying to cease smoking cigarettes, but required to substitute that idea of wanting with literally doing. You're either a tobacco product smoker, or you are not one.
Once you erase your alternative of wishing, you may recognise that you have deleted your option to slip up. This may be the key to a successful venture to at long last stop smoking.
