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!

How To Quit Smoking



One of the most vicious diseases in today’s times is smoking. It makes a person baffle for air 3 times more than a non-smoker. It has very many repercussions on the life of the smoker and those around him. It leads to lung cancer and various heart diseases like asthma and emphysema. We should thus abhor this deadly disease and quit smoking.
Quitting is not easy
But to actually quit smoking is not easy, because it is an addiction. However there are very many ways and methods that help us to quit smoking for instance we can opt for acupuncture therapy or aromatherapy. We can also opt for non-nicotine cigarettes or go for precise prescription by a doctor.
But first and foremost we need to decide in our heart to stop smoking and should also fix a day for the same. Inform your family about your decision and seek for their help and assistance. Throw away all the cigarette packets, ashtrays and lighters. Stop buying any more cigarettes. Rather think of the more useful and better things that you can buy with the money thus saved. Ask the other family members also, who smoke, to stop smoking. Keep yourself busy. Exercise regularly and meditate occasionally. Eat healthy food.
After doing all this you may still feel severe urges to smoke. You may also actually retort back to it, but that’s no problem, just be persistent and bring back your decision on to the right track after this break, because most of the people are successful only after 2-3 attempts.
Be prepared for withdrawal symptoms
About 80% people retort back to smoking after once leaving it and only 20% successfully accomplish the task. People retort back due to many reasons. Some say they feel agitated. Others say that the aroma when someone lights up is irresistible. But most of them do so due to the fear of symptoms that appears after that last puff viz. weight gain, aggressive thinking, dry throat, fatigue, muscle cramps, constipation, dizziness, hypersensitivity to stimuli, etc. but these are all just temporary symptoms and disappear in a few days. In fact after the initial bout is over the blood pressure, heart rate, pulse arte all get back to normal. You thus need to keep your will power strong and stick to your decision for a few more days.
Some people are not able to continue with the smoke cessation programs because they say that they are costly. But this is a wrong perception because they are not costlier than the price spent for buying cigarettes. And then isn’t it more logical to spend on your health rather on a disease.
