Nicotine addiction is a serious dependency which requires a serious approach

Each time you try to stop smoking and fail, it becomes more difficult.

Physically your body builds up a resistance and psychologically you begin to see yourself as a failure – someone who cannot beat the addiction.

While some people can stop without assistance, they are in the minority. Most people need help and support.

Studies have shown that you will save a minimum of $50,000 in medical bills over the next 20 years when you quit smoking

If you smoke 1~2 packs a day, you will be able to save approximately $30,000~$70,000 over the next 20 years by succeeding in your efforts to stop smoking ” You can buy a House with that Money!”

Medical research shows that on average you will live a minimum of 7 additional years if you quit smoking “Enjoy 7 More Great Years of Life”

You will be able to earn additional income as a result of the reduced sick time that you will need (studies show that smokers get sick much more often than non-smokers)

You will regain your health – medical studies show that health benefits begin as soon as 12 hours after you quit smoking.

How to Stop Smoking ?

STEP ONE: (Four Weeks) Preparation is important!! Determine your Quit Date!

Start using Nirdosh Herbal Ciggarettes one month before your Quit Date to prevent depression and anxiety and to stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent weight gain.

Start an exercise program and/or start a new hobby. Identify ‘vulnerable’ areas and change these while still smoking normally

STEP TWO: (Four Weeks)

Quit Date arrives! Throw away, trash or burn all cigarettes, ashtrays, lighters and anything associated with smoking! Continue with exercise program, hobby, and Nirdosh Herbal Ciggarettes Reward yourself at the end of this month with a gift equal in value to what you would have spent on cigarettes.

Use Nirdosh Herbal Ciggarettes three to six times daily to reduce nicotine craving, control appetite and prevent the weight gain often associated with quitting.

STEP THREE:

Now you are a Non-Smoker, maintenance is essential!!

Physical addiction to most substances is ‘cured’ after 3 or 4 weeks. Now you have to overcome the psychological addiction!

Be on guard all the time – ‘only’ one cigarette is one cigarette too many for any Quitter! Reward yourself at the end of every month.

Celebrate your Quitting Anniversary every month. Never give up giving up!

Ordinarily you would think that quitting smoking is the same for both sexes. Whether you are a man or woman there can be a variety of common reasons for starting smoking in the first place and another range of common reasons for quitting smoking across the sexes. Whilst on the surface this may appear true, there are important differences to understand which can definately aid quitting smoking for women.

According to research women start smoking and quit smoking for different reasons to men. For instance weight control is seen as a perceived benefit of smoking. Although smoking can help with weight control it does not help as much as it is perceived to help. As a clinical hypnotherapist I invariably ask my female clients who want to stop smoking this question “What would you rather deal with, a few extra pounds of weight or cancer?”. Often the response will be that they fear the extra weight. Of course this can be because the weight gain can seem more immediate and possible, whereas cancer seems more distant and less likely to happen.

Another reason why women may smoke is because of their closer emotional bonding to other women. Women are natural empathisers and in empathising with a close friend, if that friend is a smoker, by also smoking themselves they may perceive or feel that they understand their friend’s issue. To a lesser degree this response is true during a work break when a number of female colleague’s will smoke together and is another way of keeping strong bonds intact.

Stopping smoking, when female friends are continuing to smoke, can make the new quitter feel isolated and distant from formerly close friends and colleagues.

Yet a third influence on women quitting smoking is their cycle. For those women who suffer irritability or worse during their cycle, it would not be a good idea to add to this by quitting smoking at the same time.

In order to make your chances of success in quitting smoking increase following these tips to deal with the above issues can help tremendously :-

Weight Fears
If you worry that you may put on weight when you stop smoking, make a plan to deal with this possibility before it happens such as :-
1) Increase the exercise you currently undertake such as
a) If you go to the gym, do a few more repititions or push yourself a bit harder
b) Introduce a form or exercise that is fun and social such as line dancing,
salsa dancing or even a social game of barminton, table tennis etc
c) Instead of riding up escalators, get into the habit of walking up them
d) Instead of taling the lift, walk up those flights of stairs
2) Reduce the amount you eat. Cut out something like an unncessary snack. May be that biscuit with a cup of coffee
3) Substitute ehealthier foods for fattening ones. Instead of that bag ofd crisps have an apple or better still a citrus fruit such as an orange
4) Introduce more water into your daily lifestyle even if it is just a couple of glasses of water a day. A glass of water that is taken 10 minutes before a meal will take the edge of your appetite.

Empathising With Friends
1) Find a more supportive way of helpibng your friend other that jointly poisoning yourselves. This can be by :-
a) Making yourself available at anytime on the telephone to give your friend
support
b) Being a non-judgemental and solution orientated listener
c) Letting them know you are there for them
d) Suggesting forms of help or available support

Timing
Choose a time in the month when you know you are at your peak physically, emotionally and mentally and not when you are about to enter your cycle. Quitting smoking just after your menstrual cycle and when you are feeling good and on the up can be great timing.

We are all different whether men or women and ultimately knowing yourself, what makes you tick and when the best time is here for you to stop smoking, is the biggest asset to your success.

If you’ve already tried a variety of the stop smoking aids, and you’ve tried quitting smoking without any help at all, you may think it’s just not meant to be. If you haven’t tried quit smoking hypnosis, you should take a minute to consider the possibility.

When the word “hypnosis” is mentioned, many people immediately conjure up images of the comedic hypnotists that make unsuspecting participants quack like a duck or perform some other ridiculous action. Hypnosis stop smoking programs are serious help for those with a serious desire to quit smoking cigarettes.

There’s no doubt that suggestion is a powerful tool. If you doubt that, just think about the amount of money spent on advertising. While it’s not hypnosis in the purest sense of the word, there’s no doubt that advertising works because we are open to suggestion. This is the first major step before turning to hypnosis as quit smoking help – you have to believe that hypnosis will work and open yourself to the power of suggestion.

Smoking cessation is undeniably difficult. One of the most common problems faced by those who seek out hypnotherapy seems to be the expectation that stop smoking help will be easy with hypnotherapy. The truth is that most who undergo hypnosis still report an occasional craving for a cigarette. There’s no doubt that stopping smoking isn’t easy, and there seems to be no stop smoking methods that work without the will power of the smoker. If you want to know how to stop smoking without ever facing any cravings for another cigarette, you’re looking for a magic cure – unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to exist.

That’s not to say that hypnosis doesn’t work – quite the contrary. And there are those people who report that they never again have the desire to pick up another cigarette. Just don’t enter into a hypnosis program expecting perfect results. This, like all quit smoking products and programs, should be counted as one part of the overall plan.

Quit smoking support is another important factor, and you may very well get the needed support as part of the hypnosis program. There could be a group that meets periodically, or the hypnotist may be available for additional consultations at no cost over a specific period of time.

Cost is another factor that keeps some people from seeking out hypnosis. You’ll find that this isn’t a free stop smoking program, but it may not be as expensive as you think. You’ll find plenty of advertisements in most areas for around $100.

Despite what some people think, stop smoking hypnosis isn’t a magic cure. Regardless of what stop smoking programs you try, you’re likely going to experience some withdrawal and there will be times that cigarette smoking is appealing. But if you’re ready for help to stop smoking, hypnosis may very well be just the answer you’ve been searching for.

There’s no doubt that smoking is detrimental to your health, and that there are incredible benefits to quitting. Isn’t it time you considered hypnotherapy?

Most of us have been fooled by the industry to believe that nicotine addiction is the problem that needs to be overcome in order to be successful. Drug companies are making a fortune with their gum, pills, and patches which do nothing more than make a prolonged withdrawal from nicotine. The truth is, that nicotine withdrawal lasts a maximum of 48-72 hours, and is only characterized by headache, some irritability, difficulty concentrating, and mild depression.

What you are really experiencing is the desire for the habit and the ritual. Most smokers have associated their smoking with various activities and cues. They use them to take a break and relax from the situations they are in. They are also very unconscious about their smoking and when they start to keep track of how many cigarettes they have the numbers dramatically decrease. Up to half of all cigarettes smoked are not remembered or realized by the smoker. It is an automatic behavior.

Consider the following informal study:

A group of 120 smokers (who smoked at least a pack a day) were divided into three groups. Each time they had a craving, one group would go have a cigarette, one group would have to sit in a room and refrain from smoking, and the third group pretended to have a cigarette by using a straw that resembled a cigarette.

Interestingly, there was almost no difference in reduction of craving between the smoking group and the pretending group. They both had dramatic reduction in craving and increased well-being. The other group however, rated increased craving and anxiety.

After getting the participants feedback we came to a few conclusions:

1. That smokers strongly associate their smoking to a feeling of distraction and taking a break.

2. That when they smoke, it is the only time they take time for themselves and breath deeply, invoking the relaxation response in their body. Remember, nicotine is a stimulant drug and does not promote relaxation.

3. Smokers tend to concentrate better when smoking. Stimulant drugs can improve concentration, and the mini withdrawal between cigarettes can cause the opposite. Concentration does tend to return after about a week of not smoking.

Based on these, we developed some strategies for quitting:

1. When you decide to stop smoking, make sure that you continue to take the same breaks of the same duration, at the same times that you would normally have a cigarette. During these mini breaks, do not eat, but do practice breathing as if you were smoking. You don’t need a fake cigarette, but if it helps to have something to do with your hands etc. go ahead.

2. I don’t recommend this, especially if you associated smoking with coffee drinking, but if necessary use caffeine to help you concentrate for the first little while. Use diet soft drinks or tea instead of coffee if you can because these have less caffeine and will be easier to get rid of when the withdrawal is done. This stimulant is not quite as strong and is better than using nicotine patches or gum because it is different. If you choose to do this, only do it for a few days and then cut it out gradually.

Accept that you might have a little, or maybe more than a little weight gain. This is a natural response even if you don’t eat significantly more. My experience shows that very often within a year, your weight will start reducing on its own, once your body gets use to the metabolic changes. In the meantime, increase your exercise. See the sections on fitness and overall health.

The overall benefits will be worth it if you give it enough time. If you want more advice on quitting smoking click here.

Since ages, smoke and human life share an inverse liaison i.e. a surge in the former brings a reduction in the quality as well as quantity of the latter. The smoke that is rich in the hazardous substance called nicotine enters human body via cigarette smoking. The active smokers as well as the passive ones both suffer greatly due to smoking. Studies and surveys reveal the escalating number of human lives that smoke swallows each day. Keeping this alarming death rate because of cigarette smoking in mind, doctors have developed new therapies, the government and some non-profit organizations have initiated certain quit smoking programs to make people aware of injurious effects of smoking. This article will enumerate the various new and beneficial measures taken in this direction.

1. In order to save an individual’s life from smoking, the foremost strategy is to treat the rinse out the excess of nicotine in his body. The ‘Nicotine Therapies’ or ‘Nicotine Replacement Therapies’ (NRT’s) work for this very purpose. During the course of this therapy, the individual is restrained from smoking by feeding him with calculated doses of nicotine to avoid detrimental consequences. This keeps the person in a balanced state and minimizes the craving for cigarette as the dosage of nicotine is reduced gradually.

Nicotine substitution is also done via nicotine-laced chewing gums. This method to quit cigarette smoking can be traced back to 1971 when Pharmacia developed it and FDA approved of it in 1984. These gums were successful to a particular extent but lost worth when people started getting addicted to them. Apart from nicotine-laced gums, inhalers, nasal sprays and transdermal skin patch are other devices that function for the same cause. Amongst these the transdermal skin patch form of NRT is greatly acclaimed. Users put the nicotine patch to have time-released assistance.

2. Prescription drugs such as Bupropion or Zyban and Buspirone or BuSpar have proved to be of tremendous help to chain smokers in limiting smoking addiction. Basically these drugs are antidepressants and are prescribed to patients of depression. But they have also proved to be greatly effective in controlling the smoking habit.

3. Hypnosis is a psychotic therapy to lessen smoking obsession. Hypnosis purges the individual of pro-smoking thoughts and fills him with revulsion to smoking. This is possible because hypnosis takes the person in a semi-conscious state where he can be programmed to do things which the hypnotist wants him to do. Regular hypnotic treatment has diminished cigarette craving to a large extent.

4. Negative Stimuli method for quitting smoking involves giving small electric shocks that injects in the person a reluctance to smoke.

5. Rapid Smoking or Satiation Smoking, as the name suggests is to induce in the addict an aversion to smoke by giving him a hefty dosage of cigarettes. He is made to smoke twice the number of cigarettes he smokes regularly. In most of the cases at the end, the person starts feeling sick of nicotine and dislikes cigarette.

6. However, none of these tough therapies can be fruitful unless an addict himself decides to refrain from smoking. ‘God helps those who help themselves’. Self desire and strong will are essential pre requisites to any kind of quit smoking treatment. Self-help is the best help, so, an individual should be absolutely prepared to save his life from devastation due to smoking

More than 20% of the North American population over fifteen smokes cigarettes. When polled, at least 70% of smokers report they want to quit. Sadly, most can’t. In fact, only 2 – 5% of cold turkey attempts are successful after 1 year.

The most popular form of help, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRTs), promises to, “double your chances” but a 4 – 10% success rate is still very low. The problem is these products address the physical side of the addiction, only. Nicotine addiction has 2 very powerful sides – physical and mental.

Until now, there has been no readily accessible retail product that targets the physiological/psychological or “mental” side of the addiction.

STOP SMOKING FOR GOOD is a complete, 5-session, doctor-proven, counselling support program retail kit, designed to address the side of the addiction that NRTs cannot touch. It is a comprehensive, affordable, 10-piece smoking cessation seminar program, in a box.

Packaged to sit on the shelf next to NRT products such as “Nicoderm”, this international-doctor recommended program provides daily, ongoing, proven support for all smokers and ex-smokers who still crave. It’s an ideal compliment to any pharmacological treatment.

Literally all of the world’s leading health authorities recommend a program like this.

“…using nicotine replacement therapy to handle the physical addiction along with a program that helps you change your behaviour, can double your chance of success.” - Health Canada

“…a combination of behavioral counseling and pharmacological treatment can boost success up to 10 times.” - U.S. Surgeon General

STOP SMOKING FOR GOOD is packed full of proven coping methods, behavior techniques, craving-handling strategies and current facts and statistics to help maintain focus and motivation, – targeting the parts of the addiction NRTs can’t touch.

Exclusive carry-along support tools include pack wrappers to help identify and deal with triggers and routines, a code card to read when craving strikes and a wallet folder, used as part of a proven craving-handling strategy – that works the same every time.

Completely fact-based and non-controversial, the program is consistently well received by medical professionals and retail outlets. It’s also double guaranteed to be the most complete program of it’s kind!

With a suggested retail of just $39.95CDN, every smoker that needs help, can now easily access daily, ongoing support, through this complete, proven smoking cessation seminar program – regardless of location, schedule or budget.

Smoking is addictive and experts agree the best way to stop is with help. Addressing both the physical and mental sides of the addiction has been proven most effective. STOP SMOKING FOR GOOD is the first retail product to address the psychological side of the addiction – the side of the addiction NRTs cannot touch.

Despite the decades of scientific and medical research proving beyond doubt the deadly effects of cigarette smoking, the number of existing smokers, and people taking up smoking, is still at incredulous levels.



The chilling statistics reveal:-

* 1 in 5 deaths in the US is attributed to smoking

* 440, 000 deaths, potentially 6 million years of potential life lost per year

* Smoking during pregnancy results in 1,000 infant deaths per year.



(Source http://www.med.upenn.edu/tturc/pdf/USA_Figures.pdf)

Most people when asked are at a loss to explain why anyone would continue to smoke, or take up smoking considering the high smoking related death rate; however it is important to understand that the reason is on more of a subconscious, rather than a conscious level.

The real reasons have to do with a mechanism that drives our behavior called the pleasure and pain mechanism. This mechanism is designed to drive us towards things that are pleasurable and safe, and drive us away from things that are painful and potentially harmful or dangerous. The mechanism for the most part is developed within the subconscious mind as the result of the input (either pleasure or pain) we receive from our experience of any behavior or activity. At times the pleasure/pain mechanism has more than one input however, in which case it is usually the input that is either the strongest or the most immediate that moulds our behavior with respect to the activity in question. The problem with this mechanism where smoking is concerned is twofold:-

1. A delay of years before the negative effects are experienced which renders this delayed feedback ineffective as it becomes a purely conscious input.

2. Smoking does have elements of pleasure in the short term (such as a relaxing effect of the deep breathing, and is still seen as a somewhat cool thing to do by some young people because of its rebellious connotations). Being a short term feedback, this pleasure feedback is what a smoker responds too.

Imagine for a moment if instead of the current situation with smoking, if everyone who took up smoking and smoked for only a week died as a result of the usual smoking related illnesses, how many people do you think would take up smoking given this scenario? I would suggest it would be as close to zero as you could get.

While there is currently a delay of years before the real pain resulting from smoking is felt, I believe the time is almost at hand where this will change although not in the way that you might think. The enormous cost to the healthcare system for self inflicted and preventable health problems such as those resulting from smoking, will mean a change to the responsibility for these healthcare costs within the next few years, such as:

* Smokers will be forced to pay excessive health insurance premiums compared to non-smokers

* Countries with free or subsidized healthcare will withdraw this support for preventable health problems such as smoking, forcing smokers to pay high private insurance costs or be left without access to healthcare.

* Also, governments may impose even higher taxes on tobacco products making the price of cigarettes even more prohibitive.

These measures may provide enough short term pain to encourage some smokers to quit, however they are a little way off just yet.

So what’s the solution?

There is no magic bullet when it comes to any habit including smoking; however understanding the mechanism of the habit is a starting point. What smokers need to understand is that any habit such as smoking, is a program or list of instructions that have been placed in the subconscious mind through repetition that respond similar to a computer program. Like a computer program the instructions in your habit program are activated by certain actions or triggers. The triggers can be inputs such as stress, a time trigger such as every 30 minutes, or perhaps after a meal. You don’t have to “think” about lighting up because your subconscious mind is programmed to respond to the triggers.

Tips

The relaxing effect of smoking can be attributed to the deep breathing when drawing in the smoke, so when you feel like a cigarette in response to one of your triggers, use your imagination instead and visualize a cigarette in your mouth, then take slow deep breathes instead of reaching for a real cigarette. The more times you do this the more you will override your smoking program and replace it with the new deep breathing habit instead. If you want to install a subconscious pain response to help quit smoking then try this. Find a quiet place where you can be alone:

1. Imagine you’re in your 40’s or 50’s and the doctor is telling you that you only have a couple of months to live, imagine the fear that would run through your body at that moment.

2. Imagine you’re on your death bed saying goodbye to your loved ones, children or partner. How would that feel inside?

3. Imagine your cigarette packet has an LCD screen on it. Every time you open the pack the screen lights up with a live feed from the future of your children or partner at your funeral grieving for you and wanting to know why you had to die so young.

Are these scenarios completely fictitious? The future video feed may be but as for the dying younger than you should, sadly that is a mathematical certainty. While we’ve all heard of smokers who have lived to an old age, these people are rare exceptions of perhaps 1 person in 1000 or more. I’d hate to bet my life savings at those odds let alone my life, how about you?

If you’re serious about saving your life and kicking the smoking habit, then try the visualization techniques above every day to program it into your subconscious. You can also think of all the money you’ll save by quitting. Alternatively you can look for a good quit smoking program, but ensure that the one you choose addresses the problems of the underlying subconscious programming of the habit. The money you spend on a good program will be trivial compared to the money you’ll save on cigarettes and is a small price to pay for your life. With regards to smoking, only one person can save your life, and that person is YOU.

Kick the Nicotine Habit Naturally Would you give an alcoholic more drinks to get him to quit? Would you give a dieter more cake and candy to help him lose weight? Would you give a drug addict more of his favorite drug if you were trying to get him to quit?

Of course not! So why would anyone want to put MORE nicotine in their bodies when it’s nicotine they’re trying to lose their addiction to?

It all comes down to the fact that to quit smoking you eventually have to get off the nicotine. And withdrawal from nicotine is VERY unpleasant. It’s the single thing that causes even the most committed “quitters” to go back.

That’s what makes the Nicocure Patch so amazing. Researchers have discovered a way to combine the all-natural healing properties of a unique variety of traditional herbal formulas to completely and naturally eliminate your body’s need for nicotine.

Consider the 1990 Surgeon General’s Report findings:

When it comes right down to it, aren’t you tired of being a slave to cigarettes?

After 1 year off cigarettes, the excess risk of heart disease and sudden death caused by smoking is reduced by half. After 15 years of abstinence, the risk of heart disease is similar to that of people who’ve never smoked.

In 5 to 15 years, the risk of stroke for ex-smokers returns to the level of those who’ve never smoked.

Male smokers who quit between ages 35 to 39 can add up to 15 years to their life. Female quitters in this age group can add up to 12 years. Men and women who quit at ages 65 to 69 increase their life expectancy by up to 3 years.

Revolutionary move is the need of the hour. Smoking is the deadly disease of the day that is taking our society in its grip by leaps and bound. Every second person that we see around is inhaling and exhaling the cigar. Smoking has become a habit of many and people take it very casually. It has become a symbol of fashion and modernism.

How smoking is started Many people start smoking as a step towards socializing. They do so to show the society that they are also a part of it and can gel well with it. The younger generation that leaves their homes to conquer life starts smoking to mix well with the society. They think that they will be accepted easily in the society if they do what the others do, whether it is right or wrong. Younger generation often follows the footsteps of their elderly and seniors. When they see their parents smoking, they do the same without any hesitation.

What is needed today? We need to bring a revolution in our society and uproot the deadly disease. This can be achieved best by educating people about the harmful consequences of smoking. People should be made aware about the harm they are doing to themselves viz. health loss and money loss. Tobacco makes our hair and clothes stink. It stains our teeth and our mouth smells foul. Money expended on cigarettes is a complete waste. They should be made to understand that hard earned money should be expensed only constructively. Further parents and seniors need not to smoke in front of their children, or for that matter at homes. They should rather take up the matter with their children as a piece of educational advice and discuss it openly with them in the right perspective.

Government’s role in this Also the government and other authorities should organize “Quit Smoking” programs and campaigns. Celebrities should be asked to participate in these campaigns and propagate the same for a noble cause. Medical camps should be put up where free medical aid and assistance should be provided to the sufferers. Teachers and coaches of various sports should educate the athletes about the ill effects of smoking and convince them to quit it. Flagrant use of cigarettes in movies and other TV shows should be banned because many actors are ideals for the younger generation. At last prevention is better than cure so one should be over cautious at the initial stages itself and should not lay prey to the deadly disease.
