Stop Smoking Today

Of course you want to stop smoking. You want to quit smoking more than anything else, and you should! But, you just don’t know where to turn! If your like most, you may have tried patches, gum, Chantix, Zyban and/or hypnosis only to find yourself right back in the clutches of nicotine addiction! You know that your behavior is unhealthy, but you’re afraid to give up your crutch because if you do your emotional distress will worsen, and you just don’t know if you can cope without it! You know that it’s unhealthy to smoke, but you just can’t seem to stop! Unfortunately, smoking cessation programs not only fail to address the root cause of nicotine addiction, but they also fail in excess of ninety percent of the time! But, I’m here to tell you that there is a better solution for overcoming your nicotine addiction; one that doesn’t include patches, gum, hypnosis, psychoactive drugs or nonsense!

WHY YOU SMOKE

As with every type of habitual behavior, I believe smoking is a choice. I also believe that this choice can be broken down into the following two categories

1. Individuals who occasionally enjoy a cigar or cigarette socially
2. Individuals that smoke to alleviate their emotional distress and anxiety

Although there is health risks to consider when smoking, individuals that fall respectively into the first category are generally capable of walking away from it without any difficulty whatsoever. Comparatively speaking, this parallels individuals who drink occasionally and or socially. The second category represents individuals who have become dependent on smoking to alleviate there emotional distress and anxiety, whereby making it extremely difficult to achieve smoking cessation, unless they remove the root cause. I am vehemently opposed to labeling anyone since I believe that we are all created equal, but for the purpose of greater understanding these people would fall into the medical community’s definition of a nicotine addict. As we discussed earlier, most physicians, therapist, hypnotists, counselors and smoking cessation experts would have you believe that smoking is caused by a chemical co-dependence and/or that it is a learned behavior. Well, I have a different take on those theories, and I have proven over and over again in my Addiction Recovery Coaching practice that the root cause of addiction is the need to mask emotional distress. These emotional issues are often rooted in the negative patterns of family dysfunction, and smoking is no exception to the rule. Although when it comes to a smoking addiction, the primary type of emotional distress involved is anxiety. In many ways, smoking is used as a coping mechanism for those of us that are nervous, fearful, or anxious about our family, job, relationship, or financial well being. This frantic effort to control life often leads to smoking or a nicotine addiction. In essence, smoking is a crutch! But, why do some people react to the unknown with anxiety while others face it calmly with the belief that things always works out? I believe the answer to this question is twofold. First, some people naturally possess a higher level of coping skills, and second, some people have learned to conquer their fears, insecurities and most important their anxieties!

THE PSYCHOACTIVE EFFECTS OF NICOTINE

As nicotine enters the body, it is distributed quickly through the blood stream and can cross the blood brain barrier in approximately seven seconds. The life of nicotine in the body is around two hours. The amount of nicotine absorbed by the body from smoking depends on many factors, including the type of tobacco, whether the smoke is inhaled, and whether a filter is used. Nicotine’s mood-altering effects vary by report. Initially, it causes a release of glucose from the liver and adrenaline from the adrenal gland, which produces a stimulating effect. However, users report feelings of relaxation, sharpness, calmness, and even alertness. When a cigarette is smoked, nicotine-rich blood passes from the lungs to the brain within seven seconds and immediately stimulates the release of many chemical messengers such as epinephrine (adrenaline) and dopamine a neurotransmitter, which results in enhanced pleasure, decreased anxiety, and a state of alert relaxation. However, as the body adapts it requires increased amounts of nicotine to produce the same effect, whereby creating a trap!

WITHDRAWAL

Many of the proponents of the chemical dependence model believe that when you stop smoking, your body reacts very quickly to the lack of nicotine in your system. They claim that over the course of three to five days, you are likely to experience a number of the following physical symptoms as the toxins are flushed from your body:

• Increased irritability, frustration, or anger
• Anxiety, tension or nervousness
• Restlessness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Trouble sleeping
• Increased appetite and weight gain

However, I have seen no empirical evidence to conclusively prove that most people experience the above-mentioned symptoms because of the lack of nicotine. I believe that most of these symptoms exist prior to smoking. Therefore, once you stop smoking the anxiety, restlessness, lack of focus, fatigue, and sleeplessness resurface. The nicotine was merely a masking agent! In essence, smoking is a means by which to alleviate ones anxiety and emotional distress. Think about it for a moment, and ask yourself the following questions:

• When you smoke does it calm your nerves and relieve your anxiety?
• Do you find it difficult to manage your anxiety without the crutch of smoking?
• What has caused your anxiety? What dysfunctional patterns have you learned in the past that have damaged your self- esteem, confidence, or willingness to trust?
• Do you find it difficult to avoid worry and to trust the flow of life?
• Are you fearful about negative outcomes concerning your relationship, job, or financial situation?

Once you explore these questions, you may begin to discover the vehicle that is driving your smoking addiction!

Overcoming your nicotine addiction is really all about removing the source of your emotional distress, isn’t it? If you could remove the anxiety, nervousness, and emotional distress you wouldn’t need to alleviate it with the psychoactive substance called (nicotine?) Smoking is a symptom of underlying emotional distress and anxiety. Therefore, when you fix the root of the problem smoking becomes repulsive.

Learn how to make your urges to smoke dissolve on the spot! Learn how to make smoking become repulsive to you! Learn how to crush your last pack of cigarettes and walk away forever!

Do you really want to stop smoking or do you want to help somebody quit smoking? If your answer is YES then this brings us to yet another question “How can you stop smoking?” how can you or anybody else quit this stinking habit? Well, in rare cases it’s easy for some individuals to quit the smoking habit, they will just wake up one day and decide they will never smoke again and they quit smoking just like that. Out of my own experience I think nobody enjoys smoking, it’s only the beginners who enjoy this habit in it’s early stages until they are addicted to the habit and start fighting it back in efforts of trying to quit the same habit, therefore a majority of so called “smokers” only smoke because they are addicted to smoking and not because they enjoy smoking.

I will tell you a short story of my own experience. I started smoking back in 1995 when I used to work in a discotheque as a Dj. I was drawn to the habit by friends and I got deep into it not realizing what I was getting my self into. At first it was fun it was cool and it felt so good “smoking”, it was relaxing. After a year I decided, well I am tired of smoking and its time to quit so I woke up one morning and said to my self I will never smoke again. Three hours later on that same day while smoking my second cigarette is when I remembered that I had made a decision that morning never to smoke again! I felt terrible it was like I had betrayed my self; this went on for days months and years until I realized how difficult it was for me to stop the habit.

This “war” between me and smoking went on for twelve years; I tried every thing from eating specific kinds of selected foods to all sorts of medicine including herbal medicines in the efforts of trying to get rid of the cigarette cravings but nothing worked until one day in 2006 while searching for the cure to my smoking problem on the internet I came across this amazing Freedom From Smoking Guide. At first I thought it was just one of the many online money making scams that are all over the internet, but I took some time and thought of how smoking was affecting my life, my health, my finances, my wife, my new baby, almost every part of my life was affected by smoking and I decided to download that guide and give it a try. This guide changed my life almost instantly, finally after 12 years of bondage I stopped smoking just like that simply by following the simple steps and guidelines in this amazing Freedom From Smoking Guide for only 17$ .

For Most people smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine which is highly addictive to the body and mind just like cocaine and other addictive drugs. The body and mind get so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person has to smoke just to feel normal and think straight.

Most people know that smoking cause’s cancer, emphysema, wrinkles, and so on and it also shortens your life span by 10 years or more, it costs smokers thousands of dollars or more every year yet people continue to smoke, this just shows how powerful this cigarette smoking addiction is and therefore it is not something to play or joke around with.

During the 12 years of my smoking addiction I was a heavy smoker I smoked thirty to thirty five cigarettes in a day, I was spending a lot of money on cigarettes my skin turned grey and wrinkled my hair was falling off and I finally developed a serious chest condition which crippled me financially I was in a lot of pain and weak and my life was slowly fading away. It’s now very important for you who is currently addicted or may be you know a loved one you can help get out of this slavery to act now before it’s too late by simply downloading this Freedom From Smoking Guide for only 17$ you will save yourself or someone else from spending thousands of dollars in trying to cure smoking related illnesses or even death.

Consequences of smoking:

Every time you light a cigarette be sure that by the time you finish smoking it you will have lost 5 to 20 minutes of your life, that’s a proven fact. Smokers also tend to develop yellow teeth and loose bone density which increases the risk of osteoporosis a condition that causes bones to break easily and bend over during old age. Smoking affects lung power meaning smokers tend to be less active. Smoking causes fertility problems and affects sexual health in both men and women, women using any form of birth control can develop serious health problems including heart attacks when they smoke and in the case of men they tend to develop erection problems.

Cigarette, cigars and pipe smoke contains over 4000 different harmful chemicals which affect a person’s body and health quickly some of these effects are: High risk of illness, slow healing of injuries, reduced physical performance, bad smells and breath, stained teeth and bad skin. All forms of tobacco are hazardous. Most smokers try to substitute the regular cigarette with other products that seem like they are better for them like filtered or low tar cigarettes but the only thing which helps a person avoid the problems associated with smoking is staying smoke free. From my own experience staying smoke free brings with it a lot of benefit, when a smoker quits smoking he/she becomes more energetic, they become good looking with more money in their pockets and most important more life to live.

I Just Can’t Stop Smoking!!!

Many people who are smokers and  continuously try to quit smoking over and over again may come to the only conclusion that falsely presents itself to them that they can’t and will never stop smoking and that this is their destiny forever to be a confirmed smoker. What puppydoo!!

Why do some smokers succumb to this fate? Why do smokers give up trying to stop smoking? It’s a question that I personally would like to answer with my own feelings and if I may the true fact that is the true answer.

If you smoke or if you have just stopped smoking recently and you are already thinking about how much are suffering and maybe you are already contemplating having another cigarette because you just can’t go through it anymore, then please before you crumble and start smoking again, lets go back to that moment or moments when you realised that you were, or are a mug for smoking and the time has come to stop smoking, using tobacco and finally escape your nicotine addiction.

Are you there?

Good…now ask yourself this…Why do I have good intentions to quit smoking but never see them through?

Ready for the answer? Because you as a smoker who goes through this pathetic experience every time, knows that you shouldn’t smoke anymore, but  you are just another victim of the powerful brainwashing that cigarettes-Tobacco Companies-other smokers have forced upon you that you are actually or genuinely making some sort of huge sacrifice in your life and that because you stopped smoking, you are being punished for cutting away from this evil social epidemic that has prisoned you for whatever time span you have been smoking cigarettes.

That is the only answer to that question!

Any intelligent smoker who amicably has all the good intention in the world to become an ex-smoker will never walk away from nicotine addiction if they approach it thinking that to quit smoking means that the smoker has to make a sacrifice of some sort, or even pathetically worse, is sacrificing something in their lives that they thought actually helped them get through it. (life) This approach is suicide and guaranteed 200% to be nothing but an imminent failure. I have studied and analysed this and trust me it is true.

When I was a smoker I was also convinced that smoking cigarettes actually helped me get through life and face it head on with know worries as long as I had my pack in my pocket I was on top of everything. It was only when I didnt have them did I become panic stricken. This was the addiction nothing more nothing less, and the beautiful way that it is designed to make you think that it actually helps you in life yet in reality it does the complete opposite. I know this..it is true and I, like thousands of other ex-smokers know that life is completely amazing when you DO stop and stop for good.

If you are like the millions of people without the education as of why you smoke and you decide to finally stop smoking but become all panic stricken because the decision to stop smoking  you are making (again maybe) means that you will suffer then please stop right there before you continue. Stop right there..right now and just listen to me with an open mind.

Maybe you will ask questions like:-

• How can I possibly survive without them?
• How can I enjoy life, or social events without my cancer giving friends?
• What will I do when I get stressed, need to concentrate?
• What will I do after my meals and with my drinks?

There are more questions that I’m sure you could add but you get the picture right?  The reason for questions like these and more the like, is just “Fear” which the cigarette has started, caused, created, sustained whilst the smoker continues to use them.  Don’t believe me ?…then please compare a smoker to a non-smoker…need I say more? Ok …just one thing… Why don’t people who do not smoke panic when they don’t have cigarettes. Thats because they don’t need them to live…In fact if you don’t realise and believe this then you need ya head examining.

It’s a constant tug-o-war for the smoker and it continues like this until the smoker actually starts thinking that they “CAN” stop smoking because they don’t need it not now and not ever!

Smokers need to educate themselves why the cigarette gets a hold of them so , and why they are tricked into believing that the cigarette actually helps them. When they know this they can walk away from this evil trap  in a focused, happy, strong and committed frame of mind then they will succeed. I promise you. If you are afraid that you can’t stop smoking then you have been fooled and you are condoning this subconsciously too.

When you do stop..and I believe you will..life changes amazingly for the better. It becomes yours again. Your health your energy and your money all come running back to you instantly.

But hey..how the hell are you gonna know this if you keep saying to yourself…

You have set out in a goal to stop smoking, this of course is a great idea, and however are you really prepared for the potential consequences. Of course, your health will enjoy a great benefit from the decreased smoking, but your body is going to have a period of adjustment as it works to handle all of the harsh effects that smoking has caused. Being fully aware of these potential negative side effects will ensure that you are properly prepared to attempt quitting the right way. Just saying that you want to quit is simply not enough, you need to actually make an effort and be prepared.

One of the most common side effects to quitting that you may experience is small spells of dizziness. These are typically only present in the first few days as your body works to regulate hormone production. If you just pause for a brief moment anytime the dizziness occurs it will generally pass quickly. If you try to press forth with activities during these spells you could become injured so taking your time is critical.

Headaches are another common withdrawal symptom. This is something that occurs very commonly. Your best line of defense is any typical headache remedy that you prefer. Many will opt with a mild pain reliever while others will focus on relaxing techniques. Regardless of the method, try not to suffer too badly with a headache or it could encourage you to smoke to relieve the stress the headache is causing you.

Tightness in your chest and even coughing is another common withdrawal symptom. As your body is adjusting to the lack of nicotine, it will start to also clear out the excess chemicals that are built up. This can cause several different reactions. Many people often mistake the chest tightening with having a heart attack. If you are certain that it is a heart attack rather than just standard chest tightening, make sure to get immediate medical attention.

One of the last major withdrawal symptoms is tiredness. While of course this is a problem that plagues almost anyone who can breathe it becomes an even bigger issue when trying to quit smoking. Often smokers use cigarettes as a way to give them a boost of energy, this can be helpful while you are smoking but the lack of energy as you are trying to quit can make you stressed, as well as weaken your resolve to actually quit. Try to ensure that you are getting plenty of sleep to combat this symptom as much as possible. Most people are able to return to their normal routine, minus the smoking after just a few short weeks.

Your body may experience additional withdrawal symptoms. How you handle them is typically left up to you as long as they remain mild, however at any sign of serious health problems you need to seek the advice and supervision of a doctor to ensure that there are not additional health problems that are being mislabeled as a withdrawal symptom. Talking to your doctor and letting them know that you plan to quit is typically a good idea so that they can also closely monitor your physical health during the difficult struggle. After all, an ounce of prevention is worth any time it may take to protect your health.

To stop smoking is hard, and most smokers cannot quit – and if they do – it is only for a short time. More and more people are getting into the natural way of doing things anymore, and using herbs to stop smoking is a very popular method for smokers today. Those who have been able to quit smoking with using herbs as a preventive, swear by them as a successful aid.

They help in combating the withdrawal symptoms that every smoker faces when he tries to give up smoking. Among other things, the herbal cures lead to positive mood swings and reduce the urge to light another cigarette.

One of the natural substances that can be used by people when they want to quit smoking is Lobelia, or Indian tobacco, an old and controversial herb that has recently become popular to smokers who want to quit the habit and cannot. Used for centuries as an expectorant that cleans the lungs, it was used for asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, or pleurisy.

Many uses are connected with Lobelia – relaxants, antispasmodics, diaphoretics, reducing inflammations and pain, poultices, hyperactivity, easing muscle tension or convulsions – which go back in history until its recent popularity today. Many believe it makes the taste of regular tobacco “repulsive” while other naturalists use it to clam the nerves and relax the body muscles, easing mild depression.

Lately, current evidence suggests the herb Lobelia can produce similar effects on the human body as nicotine, yet is not addictive and helps eliminate the desire to smoke. There is trouble when it is overused, such as vomiting, drowsiness, weak pulse, and respiratory failure.

Another herb is the Mimosa tea (“mimosa hostilis”), a perennial evergreen shrub that is native to northeastern Brazil and also found in southern Mexico. The root bark is the choice part of the plant, traditionally used in the preparation of a psychoactive sacramental beverage.

Giving up smoking may make you feel anxious, or give you a headache but a strong cup of Mimosa tea can boost your mood and help you calm down. It is not addictive and is recommended for use instead of anti-depressant medicines. Similarly, the traditional Chinese CaoSu herb diminishes the desire to smoke.

Smoking non-tobacco cigarettes look like regular cigarettes and are available in many flavors like burnt sienna and menthol. They offer the same sensation while smoking as regular cigarettes but are healthier because they don’t contain nicotine or tar. However, you must consult your doctor before taking these or any herbal medicines, because many of them may contain substances similar to drugs.

You must also eat lots of raw or lightly steamed fresh fruits and vegetables, drinking lots of water, fruit juice, herbal tea, etc, to flush out the nicotine. Try taking hot baths, whirlpool baths, and saunas. These make you feel better, and reduce the urge to smoke.

Another way to fight the craving for nicotine is to chew on a large flavored toothpick, or squirt juice into your mouth. Similarly, drinking herbal tea, which is made from five different herbs, can help you to fight the urge to smoke.

If you are a smoker, you must have thought at least a thousand times till now that you should seriously give up the habit. Everyone around you – your family and close friends especially – must be goading you on to kick the butt. With all these pressures, it is no wonder that you might be seriously considering saying adieu to your cigarettes forever. But at the same time, something deters you. It is the question – Many people have tried and failed. So why should I succeed?

If that is your contention, then you must certainly read this article. It is true that several people have tried in vain to curb their smoking addiction, but the real reason why they failed was, they never had a genuine reason for giving up the habit. Think about it this way. Nicotine is a very powerful addictive and it causes a false sense of euphoria in the brain. When a person is under the influence of this addictive, how can he or she think of trivial things like health? Everyone is a diehard optimist. Diseases always happen to the other person, never to us. That is the way we think.

That is why threats about harm to health alone cannot deter a passionate smoker. When smoking – even though they are killing themselves with each fag – they will never consider the toll of health. Because at that moment, diseases like lung cancer and emphysema are something quite distant; something that has not yet come to pass.

Warning a smoker about health risks is like breaking your head against a wall – there will be no effect on the wall. Indeed, every cigarette pack contains a statutory warning about it, but in my knowledge it has not deterred any smoker from lighting up a cigarette.

Hence, a different approach must be used. The question Why stop smoking at all? must be answered in different ways. Now, you want to give up the smoking habit. OK. Do not think about the health repercussions that may occur in the future; but think of your current life. Is your life what you really want it to be?

Chances are, you cannot run a mile without huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf. If you led an active lifestyle before smoking captured you, you will surely have noticed the depreciation in your performance now. Are you living your life to the fullest? Are you smelling the roses? I doubt you are able to, with all that smoke.

Then, have a closer look at yourself in the mirror. See those premature wrinkles on your face? Those darkened lips? And, God bless you if there really are, spots on your tongue and ulcers in your mouth? Smoking causes all of these and more. Smoking may make you look macho (what an erroneous notion!), but it will take away all your good looks and your youth too.

Even if that does not work, think about your kids. Now that is one thing that you cannot shut your eyes too. If your smoking were to take you away from earth, who would give them their share of paternal love? Trust me, several smokers have given up the smoking habit, just because they cared for their kids.

So, the next time you ask yourself Why stop smoking? give yourself these answers. I am sure you would not light another cigarette with an easy conscience after that.

As you stand in line at the pharmacy picking up the prescription for ADD medication for your eight-year old child, your mind wanders back to the conversation you had with his doctor.

“Did Johnny have recurring ear infections as a child?”

“Yes”

“Did he have respiratory infections as well?”

“Yes”

“Ma’am, does anyone in your household smoke?”

“I do, why? Is that somehow related?”

“Unfortunately, ma’am, studies have shown a connection between secondhand smoke and all of these issues”

Too stunned to really hear much more of the conversation, you walk out of that office holding a prescription for your now-hyperactive son wondering if you are responsible for his issues.

Don’t let this happen to you! Become educated to the hazardous effects of secondhand smoke on children, then stop smoking before the little one in your house becomes nicotine’s latest little victim.

The Effects of Cigarette Smoke on Children:

One of the most frequently affected areas in the bodies of children whose parents smoke is the lungs. Sadly, these children are more prone to everything from sinus infections to much more serious chronic respiratory problems. Moreover, these children are more prone to bronchitis and even pneumonia. So, if you won’t use a cure like Chantix to stop smoking for yourself, then do it for your little one’s respiratory health.

Secondhand smoke doesn’t just affect their little lungs. It has also been connected to chronic ear infections. For those of us who have gone through endless sleepless nights with a crying child, multiple rounds of antibiotics, steroids and tubes, ear infections are the stuff of nightmares. All children are susceptible to ear infections in the first eighteen months, but those who breathe in secondhand hand have an even greater risk of chronic ear infections, which may lead to hearing loss. To stop smoking is tough, but drugs like Chantix do help considerably.

Finally, children of smokers, particularly mothers who smoked while pregnant have a much greater likelihood of experiencing a non-verbal learning disability like hyperactivity. If not than, then a potential learning disability connected to the same exposure to smoke. If you have children, or want to have children consider the risks of secondhand smoke. For their sake, if not yours, talk to your doctor about medication, for example Chantix and stop smoking before it is their health or their brain that suffers.

Chantix, a stop smoking aid from Pfizer, was recently approved by the FDA and may well be the wonder drug chronic smokers need to quit. It acts on the same areas in the brain as nicotine by provide similar stimuli. The effect of this is to reduce the horrid withdrawal symptoms. It also blocks nicotine, should the smoker start back to old habits. Isn’t it time to ask yourself whether you would rather stand in a pharmacy for a prescription for hyperactivity medication or stand there for a stop smoking aid like Chantix potentially preventing such health and educational risks for your son or daughter?
