Stop Smoking With EASE

By Tommy Thompson

Did you make the New Year resolution to Stop Smoking? Well, have you quit yet? Millions of smokers around the world said they would stop smoking this year. But for many, the day never came. Maybe because of lack of motivation, maybe because you tried to do it on your own. Maybe you tried but gave up easily.

Lets face it. Smoking is a bad habit for a lot of reasons. No need to go into it, everyone knows the dangerous health risks involved. Mumbling the words “I’ll quit when this pack is gone” or “After the New Year” or a hundred other reasons you convince yourself now is not the time, are just excuses to keep smoking.

If you want to smoke, you are going to smoke. You are going to tell yourself that your father lived until 85 and smoked 2 packs a day, or your great uncle smoked for 70 years and was never sick a day in his life. Blah blah blah. You probably even tell yourself that you enjoy smoking. How on earth can inhaling smoke be enjoyable. I have listened to smokers coughing and hacking, it doesn’t sound enjoyable to me. How about that light up after a nice meal. Yeah, just what I want to do after I eat a delicious meal, wash it all down with some gritty disgusting smoke. You probably didn’t even taste the meal anyway because all your taste buds are completely destroyed and everything tastes like stale ash.

Smokers make up all kinds of reasons to keep smoking. “I’m under a lot of stress” or “I’ll gain weight”. Ultimately the decision to stop smoking has to be yours. Yes family and friends will bug you to stop, but if you attempt to quit smoking and you really do not want to, your chances of success are slim.

The point here is, if you want to stop smoking you will. Make the decision for the right reasons. Be dedicated to the task because you do not want to die a horrible, painful slow death. You want to wake up in the morning without going into a coughing fit, you want to be able to go up a flight of stairs and not gasp for precious air. You want to smell good and get rid of the bad breath. You want to be FREE!

Well, what are you waiting for? Are you going to stop smoking, today?

Smoking is indeed a problem, because it can lead to all sort of complications and diseases such as lung cancer. That is why if you do smoke, you should quit smoking now.

Although you may think you know why you should quit, you need to know that there are hundreds of other reasons you’ve never thought about them. Besides the cancer and heart diseases that smoking causes, you’ll have to consider what effects will this have both on the long run and on the short run on your body.

Many people say that they don’t need to quit smoking now, and they all give all sort of explanations. Some of them say that they are too young and so they could easily give up smoking when they would be older. Others, on the contrary, they say that they are too old and so they don’t need to quit smoking now or that they can’t quit smoking now.

In fact, it really doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, or if you started smoking a few days ago or twenty years ago. The truth is smoking has a disastrous effect on everybody, regardless of his age or physical conditions.

Why Is It So Hard to Quit Smoking Now?

Before starting the actual process of quitting, you’ll first have to want to quit. You’ll have to say “I want to quit smoking now”. Once you’ve decided that this is what you really wish, you’ll have to get ready for the process, because as you probably already know, this isn’t easy.

Quitting is hard mainly due to two major reasons: the physical addiction and the psychological addiction, the one we call it “habit”. In order to completely escape from the need to smoke you’ll have to break both of these addictions. Unfortunately there isn’t any other way.

Reasons Why You Should Quit Smoking Now

You can’t really quit smoking if you don’t have a couple of reasons. You can’t just say “I want to quit smoking now” and the next day when you’ll wake up the urge will be gone. It just doesn’t work this way. You have to fight for it. You have to prove yourself that you really want to quit smoking now, that this is indeed the thing you want to do.

That is why when deciding to quit you should make a list of reasons. They will be the reasons for which you want to quit smoking now. These reasons are easy to find. They can be personal reasons, health reasons or obligations.

For example, one reason could be the aging process. Ask yourself if you really want to see yourself aging quickly. Because this is what smoking does to your body. So, one reason for which you should say that you want to quit smoking now can be this one.

Another one can be the way you smell. Tobacco in general has a bad smell, why should you have to put up with this? All you have to do is quit smoking now.

One more reason why you should quit smoking now and definitely the most important one, can be your health. The sooner you’ll quit this nasty habit the more your health will benefit from it.

It’s not easy, but it isn’t impossible either. All you have to do is find some good reasons and really wish to live a longer and happier life. This should be enough to make you say you want to quit smoking now.

Once glamorized on television shows, in magazine ads and other places, cigarette smoking can be one bad habit to quit. In fact it’s one habit that people often start at a very early age, from childhood on. And it’s one habit that has a high death rate resulting mainly from cancer associated with smoking.

People try to stop smoking cold turkey, or turn to religion, patches, nicotine gum, hypnosis and more. With so many choices available for help to quit smoking, here are some tips to add to them in order to conquer bad cigarette smoking habits once and for all and breathe fresher, healthier air.

Change Mindset

Start thinking clearer, and your mind will lead your body to a clearer, healthier state. You can begin by heading to your local library and checking out books, videos, cassettes, DVDs and other resources to help you stop smoking. Other good topics are on self-improvement, healthy diets, and motivational and inspirational themes. See if there are any support groups in your area on any of these subjects and search online for forums to find friends to work through any issues with and have fun with to get your mind off smoking and onto better subjects.

Also line up some support people on your home front, off line. You don’t need friends who still smoke that will say things like, “Well, a half a pack a day isn’t bad, don’t worry about it.” You need encouraging, healthy friends to see you through the good times and bad times like you’ll see them through in exchange. So get a list going of people you can reach out to instead of reaching for a smoke: healthy neighbors, family, friends, etc.

Develop Healthier Habits

A great way to break an old habit is to start a new one. So here are some you could replace smoking with; like instead of lighting up:

1. Put your cigarette money aside in a jar and save it for a special celebration trip somewhere fun.

2. Instead of picking up a cigarette, pick up a book, magazine, newspaper or newsletter and catch up on your reading.

3. Instead of smoking, do some journaling, logging your pain, agony, hope, improved health, etc. Have fun and use magic markers and stickers in it and don’t worry about your spelling!

4. Instead of smoking, go to a gym and work out or work out at home or outside.

5. Instead of smoking, do something nice for someone else- and don’t tell them!

OK, time to get moving. Go get ‘em!

Addiction to smoking is something that affects many people around the world. With the wide availability of cigarettes in today’s world, it is extremely easy to get hooked early to nicotine and tobacco. Everyone knows that cigarettes can cause serious health problems, but still people smoke. People smoke for a whole range of reasons, but none of them can seem to put down the cigarettes when they need to. In the end, it comes down to a mental issue that prevents people from being able to stop.

People begin smoking for a bunch of different reasons. Some do it because smoking is “cool”, while others do it because their friends are doing it. Few people simply go into a store and decide that they would like to buy a pack of cigarettes. It just does not happen that way. Outside influences are very important to smoking addiction. Because of this, smoking addiction is something that must be broken at the mindset level. If smoking makes you feel tough or cool, and you can’t stop when you should, then something is badly wrong.

Do you smoke a couple packs of cigarettes every day? Do you feel like you could put the cigarettes down for good if you absolutely had to? Most people believe that they could probably quit smoking if they absolutely had to. Then, when the time comes to stop smoking, they can’t do it. It is because they are focusing on cigarettes and the actual act of smoking. While it is true that there are chemicals within cigarettes that cause addiction issues, the mental issues play just as big of a role.

Fancy patches and special gum has been designed to help people stop smoking. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. It is just a matter of how motivated a person is in their goal to quit smoking. In my years as a hypnotherapist, I have treated people for smoking issues. Hypnosis is more effective as these physical helpers because it will help a person change their outlook and mindset.

Hypnosis is something that should strongly considered by people who feel like they can’t beat cigarettes and smoking addiction. It’s not just something that is done during a magic show. It is a real, tangible solution to awful problems that can eventually kill you. Get the information you need today in order to make a quality decision on hypnosis.

Smokers are all aware of the damage they are doing to themselves by smoking. Every day they are bombarded with more information about how much damage they are doing to their health. But this is just a depressing message that achieves nothing for the smoker.

The health warnings only serve to provide smokers with the motive to stop smoking. It does not provide the means nor the opportunity to stop smoking. To put it another way, if you are hungry and I tell you that eating some food will stop you being hungry, that information does not sate your appetite! It is exactly the same for smokers - telling them they’re harming themselves does not tell them how to quit.

Smoking tobacco is merely a method for delivering nicotine to the body where it can act on the central nervous system. The smoker craves the reaction they have to having nicotine in their bloodstream, acting on their nervous system.

Nicotine, in the doses that smokers take, is a relatively harmless substance. The real problem with smoking is the other junk in the tobacco smoke that is inhaled by the smoker. There is tar, arsenic, carbon monoxide, benzene, various hydrocarbons, polonium, cadmium, ammonia and a whole host, amounting to over 4,000 other chemicals potentially in cigarette smoke. This is the real problem of nicotine addiction - the delivery system.

As a response to the ill effects brought about by the cigarette smoke, pharmaceutical companies and doctors have conspired to provide nicotine via other delivery systems such as patches, inhalers, sprays and gums. This is commonly known as Nicotine Replacement Therapy or NRT.

This begs the question, why don’t doctors treat heroin or cocaine addicts with pure forms of their respective addictive drugs? Well, in the case of heroine, methadone ‘draw-down’ is the accepted therapy – weaning the addict off their drug. In the case of cocaine, it is just cold turkey! Both methods have poor success rates in reality.

But this also begs the question about nicotine addiction – why is it acceptable or even necessary to maintain ones addiction as part of the therapy?

The truth of the matter is that nicotine replacement therapy or NRT does not work very effectively. In the short term it is an effective means of getting smokers to stop smoking whilst their motives are high, but in the long run, it is ineffective and studies have shown this to be the case with most NRT subject resorting to cigarettes after the 4-week follow up.

Combination therapies have been found to be more successful than single therapy approaches and there is much anecdotal evidence that acupuncture and hypnotherapy are effective. However, around 90% of people who have permanently quit smoking have done so using the simplest method – cold turkey. But how is this?

In truth, there are two kinds of cold ‘turkeyer’. There are cold turkeyers who want to quit smoking and there are cold turkeyers who are going to quit smoking. Note the difference between ‘want’ and ‘going to’. The truth is, it is all in the decision making process.

Too many smokers enter into a quit campaign hoping they will be successful in quitting smoking. They fail simply because they enter into the attempt expecting a strong likelihood of failure. And why shouldn’t they – from childhood and all through their lives they’ve been told what a near impossible task quitting smoking is!

However, if the smoker makes the right decisions, understands them and can open their eyes to the truth about smoking and their smoking behaviour, it is possible for them to quit. Knowledge is power and understanding what smoking is really about and how it works on you is the key to quitting for good.

Sure there are smokers who have quit for years without any help, but they virtually all still crave for a cigarette from time to time. It is their will-power that prevents them from smoking a year since their last cigarette. It is their pride. Could you imagine going a whole year without a cigarette and then on a whim, lighting one up!

A positive mental attitude to quitting smoking, coupled with a good understanding of why you really smoke will help any smoker quit the habit. All smokers have the motivation to quit; they just need to know what to do to make it happen aside from just not smoking cigarettes!

For smokers, to quit smoking is similar to drinking coffee without sugar. It can become awfully difficult and somewhat weird to deal with at first but if you think about it, you have lived your life before not drinking one cup of coffee and putting a twist to how you drink it can just take a while of getting used to; which is perfectly normal.

The same thing applies when you are on the process of quitting smoking; it is extremely difficult at first. But if you think about it too, you have made it through your early years without having to smoke a stick, and getting back to it is still possible. It always is. There may be many issues as to how a person deals without cigarettes in a daily basis but it’s a gradual thing. Adjustment happens and sooner or later, you will find yourself living the way you did before…when you were healthier.

If you are not sure how severe your addiction is to smoking; why not come up a list of questions you can use to ask yourself and assess to find out if you have already reached the limits in smoking. Too much of anything is really bad and this statement is entirely true in this aspect.

An indication of being addicted to smoking is when you have a stick of cigarette in between your fingers but not knowing that you have actually lit it earlier. Smoking also affects your normal healthy diet everyday. When you are addicted to smoking, you automatically include lighting a cigarette every time you indulge with the favorite things you want to do during the day. A clear sign that you need to avert from cigarette smoking is when you fail to enjoy your usual daily routine if you don’t have a cigarette near you.

There are many types of addiction and with smoking, the more it becomes severe, the difficult it becomes to get rid of. These are actually just some of the few indication that there is a need for you to stop smoking as early as possible.

Smoking and psoriasis have direct relationship. It has been found that smokers have a higher possibility of acquiring the skin condition than those who have not been into the bad habit. A research effort manned by about 79,000 American nurses highlight the potential effect smoking may pose to help aggravate the possibility of psoriasis. The study, published in the American Journal of Medicine, clearly highlights how smoking can be adversely affecting the health. Aside from lung problems, the activity is now proven to lead to a variety of skin problems, including psoriasis.

The study had women as respondents and covered a 14-year period from 1992 to 2006. Overall, there were about 887 reported cases of psoriasis observed among them. From that figure, the frequency of psoriasis has been determined. It was found that 78% of those affected by the ailment are currently active smokers. About 37% of the respondents who had the skin disease are past smokers, or women who used to smoke but has decided to stop. From the trend, researchers figured out that the longer people has been exposed to smoking, the higher the risk of forming psoriasis is. Smoking quitters are expected to wait for several decades before their risk for psoriasis drops to the low level of non-smokers or people who have never smoked in their lives.

Non-smokers, however, are not entirely spared from acquiring the skin condition. According to the study, and supported by several other medical researches, exposure to second-hand smoke or passive smoking is as risky as smoking itself. Same goes with people who have been exposed to family members’ smoke during their childhood years and those whose mothers had been smoking while pregnant. This supports the old-age notion that passive smoking is as dangerous, or at times more risky, than actual smoking.

Psoriasis occurs when the person’s skin is replacing itself very quickly. The condition usually appears as patches of red and scaly skin that would reveal or form fine silvery scales when scratched or scraped. There have already been studies linking smoking and psoriasis, but none of them were as clear as to determine whether the condition occurred before and after exposure to the habit. Now that this study has come out, there are several valid and scientific explanations on how smoking does lead to psoriasis. Scientists explain that cigarettes contain toxins that when inhaled and absorbed by the body would weaken the immune system and eventually lead to the ailment.

It is logical that quitting smoking would lower the possibility of psoriasis occurrence. The smoke induced inflammation would be lowered as affected immune cells decrease in volume. The result, the manifestation of the skin problem would be lessened. That is why doctors and experts constantly and strongly advise the public not to get into the habit or at least quickly drop it. If you would avoid smoking or stop it, not only would you be able to prevent the onset of psoriasis. You would also be able to avoid a host of many other related diseases.

Can another person really make you smoke? Now I don’t mean that first time, when you were 16, and you took that puff because your friends urged you to. I mean now, today, socializing with people who smoke. Do the smokers you know, and love, and spend time with keep you reaching for that thin white stick again and again?

And why are they doing it? Are their intentions evil?

Well, probably not evil. Just a bit selfish. And, more than that, convenient. You see, if you were to stop smoking, you would be proving it can be done. And if you are the same gender as they are, the same age, in the same social sphere, you would prove it even more. And they would no longer have an excuse. They’d feel ashamed. Every time they would think they needed to light up a cigarette, and you didn’t need to, they’d feel more ashamed.

So for the ones who don’t want to change, it’s better to keep you smoking, so you can keep them smoking, “proving” to your entire social network, and those who love and nag you, that smokers simply cannot quit. Except for one thing.

I heard this story about a man who had a heart attack. Let’s call him Fred. Fred’s heart attack was serious. He was in intensive care for a while. In fact, he was at Death’s door for a while. And when his friends came to visit, Fred’s wife would stop them before they entered his room. “If you have cigarettes with you, give them to me,” she said. A few protested that they certainly wouldn’t give Fred a cigarette, as sick as he was.

“I’m sure you wouldn’t,” she said, “but this way, if he asks for one you can honestly tell him that you just don’t have any.” That sounded reasonable to them, so they surrendered their packs to Fred’s wife without argument.

Funny thing was she never gave them back. Not ever. It turned out she didn’t happen to be around when they were leaving, and most of them didn’t even remember they had turned them over, and that was that. The longer they hung out with Fred, the less chance they had to smoke.

Another funny thing was, they didn’t remember about smoking for quite a while after leaving Fred’s bedside. Every day these “nicotine addicts” smoked less, if at all. By the time Fred left the hospital, five out of seven of his closest friends had accidentally become nonsmokers. Even the remaining two cut down their smoking by half.

Want to quit smoking? Maybe you don’t have a sick friend in the hospital with a clever

wife. That’s okay. Here’s the trick: Spend time with nonsmokers.

You’ve probably heard that if your close friends are wealthy, you’re likely to be wealthy too, even if you weren’t to begin with. Same thing. You lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. You hang out with smokers, you smoke when they do. You hang out with nonsmokers, you don’t smoke too much. You don’t want to sneak out for a smoke because you might miss the next joke or juicy piece of gossip, because your non-smoking aren’t going to hold the punch line till you get back. Or save you that last piece of pie. So you find yourself forgoing that cigarette. And the next. And the next. And pretty soon, you may not smoke at all. Worth a shot, isn’t it? ©2007 by Wendy Lapidus-Saltz. All rights reserved.

The dangers smoking tobacco could bring to one’s physical and mental (nicotine addiction and dependence) health could somehow bring a smoker to his senses. It really is true what the ads say, that smoking is indeed dangerous for your health. It is a very well known fact that smoking is a very destructive and fatal habit to indulge in. It can even be regarded as a medical crisis. Assuming that you aren’t aware of these bad effects at all, this article could help you with the much needed information to give up that habit.

For starters, there are already a lot of recorded deaths related to smoking. Hundreds of thousands of people die from ailments brought by smoking every year. Smoking contributes to one in five deaths from heart disease. It causes the heart to work harder because carbon monoxide (a component found in tobacco) robs oxygen from your tissues, organs, blood vessels and other important muscles need to function properly. It also causes fat deposits to build around your blood vessels. Blocks around these blood vessels affect the flow of oxygen to the heart. With this, comes increased heart rate and higher blood pressure. Smoking therefore, strains your heart and blood vessels thus, leading to greater chances of heart failure or stroke. Aside from heart diseases, it was also well-documented that smoking is the major cause for lung cancer and other related diseases such as emphysema and bronchitis. It also contributes to quite a number of other cancers such as cancer of the pancreas, kidneys and bladder.

Next, it would also be necessary to understand what you breathe in each time you give that little baby a puff. Cigarette contains nicotine, a very powerful and addictive drug. Almost instantly, nicotine begins to work on your central nervous system. After that first puff, it gives you a relaxed sensation and usually gives you a good feeling after a moment or two because it affects the chemicals in your brain. This is why smokers often make smoking an excuse to feel relaxed after stress or pressure. Your body, after repeated smoking sessions, then develops dependence to nicotine. Another chemical found in cigarettes is benzene, a carcinogenic solvent which is also associated to leukemia. It also has formaldehyde, an embalming fluid, known to cause cancer, skin, gastrointestinal, and respiratory problems. Tar is also added to the list. This substance is added to asphalt for road construction. Several poisonous substances which are included, aside from nicotine, are carbon monoxide (the same gas which comes out from car exhausts), arsenic (more popularly known as rat poison), and hydrogen cyanide (used for executing convicts in gas chambers).

The benefits you get from quitting smoking range from having a healthy lifestyle to positive effects on your finances and even to building greater confidence for yourself. Being able to stop smoking reduces your risk of having smoking related diseases and thus, promoting good health and well-being. Having to cut on money to spend on cigarettes allows you to spend on more important needs. Lastly, quitting smoking is a very challenging decision and the success you can attain from it can provide you with greater confidence that you can succeed with more difficult tasks. It enables you to have more faith in yourself.

By Michael Challiner

Are you a smoker? Have you ever tried to give up the habit? The chances are that you have, but like any addiction it can be (and usually is) extremely difficult to stop, and even attempts to cut down rarely last very long. Part of the problem is that smoking can be very enjoyable, but only too often something can turn up which will instantly remove the enjoyment. Unfortunately that ‘something’ will very often be loss of health.

The insurance industry is well aware of this fact, so not surprisingly they try to ensure that they do not lose money by covering high risk customers at low risk rates. At the same time non-smoking customers for life insurance have been piling on the pressure in their search for lower premiums. This is where the internet comes into the picture.

It used to be the case that at best, anyone looking for competitive quotations for life insurance had to be prepared to spend a lot of time searching adverts and telephone directories for likely companies. They also had to be prepared to spend a lot of time on the telephone collecting information, and then to settle down to long and careful comparisons, covering bits of paper in confusing and often indecipherable notes.

But all that has changed. Now all they have to do is go online and check out as many companies as they wish. They will find information which is very carefully presented for maximum clarity, because a confused enquirer is highly unlikely to become a customer. It is now so easy to reach a decision that a ‘price war’ has developed and some very competitive quotations are available. This competition has however had an inevitable effect in that insurance companies have had to tighten up their procedures or risk losing money on the narrower margins.

So they have hit the obvious target – smokers. Whilst the life insurance premiums for non-smokers have been steadily reducing, smoker’s premiums have moved away in the opposite direction. This has resulted in rates for smokers which are 100% or more above standard rates and still climbing. This, on top of the cost of the cigarettes (currently estimated to be approaching £100,000 in a lifetime and still climbing) means that anyone who still smokes must be very determined not to curtail their enjoyment.

Critical illness insurance is another policy which many people take out, to provide financial security for their families in the event of loss of income due to lengthy illness. It is reasonably self-evident that this too will be a great deal more expensive for smokers, simply due to their greater propensity for such illnesses as a result of their addiction.

So do you dig your heels in and continue to enjoy smoking, or do you give way to the financial pressure (not to mention the widespread anti-smoker climate) and give up the habit. The sad news is that even if you grit your teeth and stop smoking, as far as the insurance companies are concerned you are not out of the woods (or the Woodbines) for at least 12 months or maybe much longer. Some may require complete cessation for at least five years – contact your intended insurers after 12 months completely smoking free and see how the premiums look now. A considerable cost reduction should be evident.

Some folks cheat themselves and their friends by claiming to have stopped smoking when they are still sneaking the odd one in dark corners. This is up to the individual, but don’t try it with your insurers; it would not be difficult for a relatively low-key enquiry to expose the lie and your cover (in both meanings of the word!) would be blown. All the effort, the subterfuge, the self-deceiving would have been wasted. You would not be insured.

Right, you have made the praiseworthy and not inconsiderable effort and you are now a non-smoker. You can feel some justifiable pride as you tick the ‘NO’ box on a form with a smoking query. Now take advantage of your position, get on the internet and shop around for insurance quotes. You may be pleasantly surprised by some of the offers which you get, but don’t let your euphoria get the better of you. A move too soon, before everything has been confirmed, could leave you with a cancelled policy with your old company and an oversight leading to rejection by your new company; result no cover. Check the details carefully, finalise all the figures and then change to your new insurer.

Finally, don’t let those savings in expenditure just melt away. Add the money saved on cigarette purchases to the money saved on reduced premiums and invest it, and just watch that total climb!
