Again smoking

To decline cigarettes is not difficult, it is difficult not to start again. Statistics shows that than a hundred people left alone cigarettes only twenty of them managed to continue, the remaining eighty propushvat again within a year. The main reason for the failure is broadly improper or insufficient psychological adjustment and strong sense of deprivation and it samoogranichavane personal freedom. Many make a fundamental mistake and decided that if smoking is not long enough, things will only opravyat myself. But not so! In practice, inability to cope with the desire to smoke and fight against it leads to a strong sense of deprivation.Man mind that is free to choose to remain a smoker or former smoker. Only when we are sure that we prefer to live with the desire to smoke, rather than to live as smokers have a chance to refuse cigarettes to always. Do not forget the excellent tactic "Now at this moment" ........ how smoking will again if we can abandon the proposed cigarette in this moment? Here's specific situation. With friends we have to draw, there we have a drink two drinks, are offering our warm kind of imported cigarette and we propushili. How to act the other day? In any case, since the conventional reflexes were recovered by the smoking of this, but can and perhaps a few cigarettes must be mentally Mobilising, as will experiencing a stronger desire to smoke. Do not buy their cigarettes and remember it is much easier to say NO to the first cigarette than the next. The desire to light the "only" per cigarette the other day is actually willing to thousands. The need for full mobilization of the spirit and body, provide their .... that day forward you drink, but have not smoked. Walking physical work and help. To stay motivated to repeat again the reasons why we refused cigarettes. What is important is not experiencing a sense of guilt and failure. Even to continue smoke and the other day, even if it smoke two months. Much more important than this is a process that began with the conversion of the sub-consciousness and to continue. The pain in the chest, cough, smell of tobacco and continuous thought that we can solve the problem once we have succeeded at the first attempt to live whole days and months without cigarettes, will again be the reason for a new attempt to deny cigarettes, because it can we lost the next attack, but not the battle in which we will be winners!

Tactics

Basically offered two tactics to refuse: plan at the earliest date, say everywhere in the media that will ostavyame cigarettes, no contact with smokers; smenyame coffee with tea, no alcohol and etc... The second is the general acknowledgement of the first. During and in parallel with the change of mind and we seek specific sub small targets. For example tomorrow objective is not Trying to 10.30 hours ...... no problem, because now I can 10.31 Trying to their will. May not succeed in the beginning, is important not to stop trying, but when other people have done it then what is the problem for you? Will succeed of course! Gradually set their bigger goals - for example, to experience a full day without a cigarette. During these small moments without smoking is necessary to learn how to manage with the desire to smoke. I recommend you: deep breathing. It is high not only in coping with the desire to smoke, and stress in other states. It's easy to implement. Also a walk away is a good idea. The adoption of a spoonful of honey or one sochna apple are also effective means of dealing with desire. For about less than one month after these exercises you are ready to try to sections with cigarettes. This has become of development. Will uchudite how easy it is. Do not put your order that leave cigarettes forever, just follow the tactics "now and in this moment ". What is important is not exactly that cigarette smoke, now at this moment. Excellent tactic.

Quitting cigarettes

2008-07-06T09:18:00.002-03:00

Cigarettes.... one of the most addictive and destructive, over the counter drugs known to modern man. One of the few legal substances available in stores that can injure or kill when used as intended. Most rational people know this as a fact, yet many continue to smoke. Some smokers know, deep in their hearts, they want to quit. Others are quite content to keep on puffing because they think they enjoy it so much.
Why would seemingly intelligent people continue to smoke, knowing full well the dangers and potential implications of doing so? Well folks, I don't want to disillussion anybody, but it is because they are nicotine addicts. Cigarette smokers are just as much an addict as someone hooked on crack, cocaine, morphine or heroin. The folks that say they don't want to quit, because of the pleasure they derive from smoking, are not really speaking for themselves. It is their addiction speaking for them. It is that little addicted voice inside their minds rationalizing the addiction, because they know, it might hurt to quit. They know that there will be a sense of loss. They know that smoking is as much a part of their personality as being a happy person, or being a morning person, or liking to go to the movies. Smoking becomes a part of who and what you are. An ADDICT. It amazes me the number of people who smoke cigarettes who would never smoke a "marijuana"cigarette. "Oh no, thats drugs" or "I ain't no dope fiend". Sorry pal, tobacco is dope, it is drugs and if you're a smoker, you are also a drug addict and a dope fiend. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you will be able to get well again and kick those "nasty butts" out of your life. Smoking, like any addiction, especially addictions that involve chemicals, is a sickness. Fortunately it is a sickness that can be cured. There is help available. Chances are that unless you can lock yourself away for a few weeks, you will need some help to get well again. Help can be something as simple as some education, or it may be a prescription for a nicotine replacement delivery system. The most effective way to stop smoking is a combination of both. You also need some motivation, a reason to live a long healthy life.

Quitting cigarettes is not easy

2008-07-06T09:14:00.001-03:00

Have you ever heard the joke about the smoker bragging about how easy it is to quit the habit. "I've done it hundreds of times" he said. Well if quitting was easy you would only have to do it once. For most folks quitting cigarettes is an ordeal. It is tough. It puts you through physical and mental anguish. You don't feel good when you are withdrawing from nicotine. You can get depressed. After all you are losing something that has become a part of you for quite some time. Something that has calmed your nerves when they felt frayed. Something that has helped you cope when times were tough. Something that has helped you celebrate the good times. Something that has kept you company when no one was around. Something that seems to go naturally with other addictive things like alcoholic beverages or coffee. Yes, there is nothing like a cigarette and a cup of coffee to get the bowels going first thing in the morning.

Cigarettes may kill you!

They start to do damage from the very first puff. Dry, hot chemical containing smoke and healthy mouths, windpipes and lungs don't mix. Something is eventually going to give. If it is not cancer of the lungs, or cancer of the pink mucous membranes of the mouth and larnyx, it might be emphysema related decay and clogging of the lungs. If that stuff doesn't get ya, maybe heart disease or stroke will.

Story of a man who quited the cigarettes.

2008-07-06T09:11:00.001-03:00

I was first exposed to cigarettes when I was in the womb. Mom was a smoker at the age of 16. She quit school and went to work in the shoe shop like many of her peers did at that time. You didn't need an education to work, jobs were everywhere. Cigarettes were cheap and a large percentage of the population smoked. It seemed that the worst health hazard from smoking at a young age back in that era was that perhaps it would 'stunt your growth'. Mom never grew more than 5 feet tall. (Probably just a coincidence). Mom and Dad got married in Feb of 54, shortly after I was "on the way". Folks back then were not aware of the dangers and risks associated with smoking while pregnant. So many of us smokers got our first dose of nicotine thru the umbilical cord.
From my birth in Dec of 1954 my odyssey with cigarettes began with exposure to second hand smoke. Every where you went there was someone smoking. No one gave it a thought that perhaps the smoke filled rooms and automobiles might harm the ones that didn't smoke. Smoking just seemed to me as a normal thing for grown-ups to do. I fully expected to become a smoker myself someday. Thanks to some candy manufacturer's, I was able to simulate smoking by buying some candy cigarettes. I was very careful to hold it between my fingers like a real one and put the filter end in my mouth. The end you would light, if it was a real one, was dyed red to simulate the lit end. Candy cigarettes even came in the popular brands and similar styles that the real ones came in. This helped in establishing a loyalty to a particular brand at a young age I suppose. Now that I reflect back, I seem to recall a toy cigarette that would emit simulated smoke when a kid blew through it. I guess it made me feel good to emulate something that adults did.
I recall getting my first feeling of comfort from cigarette smoke when I was a toddler of perhaps 4 or 5 years of age. I suffered from horrendously painful earaches. I would wake up in the middle of the night with my inner ear throbbing with pain. I remember the sound of drumming, snapping and crackling inside my ears as the drainage from the ear infection would flow and the tissues were swelling. Inevitably I would cry out to Mom. Mom would take me in her arms and bring me to her rocking chair in the living room. She would light up a cigarette, inhale, then very gently blow the warm smoke into my hurting little ear. This always seemed to help relieve the pain, or at least make it bearable. After the cigarette treatment Mom would put a few warm drops of baby oil in my ear, insert a wad of cotton and rock me until I fell asleep. An act of love and compassion from mother to child that meant a lot to me back then, but would probably not be considered a good thing to do in case of earache now.
I got my first actual puff on a real cigarette at around age 10. I recall a real boring afternoon visiting some relatives with my folks. The relatives didn't have any children at home. They had all grown up and moved on. So there I was bored out of my gourd, when I decided I would take a nap in the car while my folks finished their visit. that's when I noticed an ashtray with some partially smoked butts and a cigarette lighter, right there in front of me. Curiosity got the better of me. I chose one of the longest stubs I could find, straightened out the kinks where it had been crushed out, and put it to my lips. I pushed in the cigarette lighter handle , like I had seen mom do many times, and waited for the familiar click that signaled when the lighter was hot enough to light a cig. I took the cherry red tip of the lighter and placed it on the end of the cigarette butt and sucked. I got a mouthful of the foul hot smoke, blew it out, and wondered what the attraction of cigarettes was supposed to be. They tasted awful. I don't think I tried them again for several more years.

Cancer effect of smoking

2008-07-06T08:37:00.001-03:00

Cigarette smoking is the cause of 90 percent of the world’s lung cancer cases.Smokers who substantially reduce // the number of cigarettes they smoke per day are exposed to lower amounts of a potent tobacco carcinogen, or cancer-causing agent. However, the reduction in the amount or concentration of the carcinogen exposure is often temporary and not proportional to the reduction in cigarettes smoked.Researchers from the University of Minnesota Cancer Center measured the metabolites of a specific tobacco carcinogen, NNK, in the urine of smokers who were part of a smoking reduction program. The results would show whether smokers who reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day also decrease their risk of lung cancer. Investigators report an overall reduction in carcinogen levels at nearly all of the study intervals as the 92 patients who completed the study reduced the number of cigarettes smoked each day. Researchers say the results suggest people who are trying to cut back by smoking fewer cigarettes per day alter their smoking behavior by inhaling longer and deeper, which is known to alter a smoker’s exposure to carcinogens. Investigators conclude, “The results indicate that some smokers may benefit from reduced smoking, but for most the effects are modest, probably due to compensation.” A team of epidemiologists reviewed the association between smoking and cancers not previously believed to be associated with tobacco use, such as cancers of the stomach, liver and kidney. They say: “Although 1 billion people worldwide already smoke and more will start, individuals who stop smoking reduce their smoking-related cancer risks effectively. A balanced public health strategy is therefore needed that not only prevents young individuals from starting to smoke, but also helps adults stop smoking.” Researchers from the National Cancer Institute discuss how the two studies highlight that tobacco’s role as a cancer initiator and promoter is not only complex, but also remains one of the greatest global public health challenges. Given the strong evidence, NCI researchers say the most dramatic health benefits in the next half-century will happen when the number of smokers who quit significantly increase.
