Best Quit Smoking .com

Hopefully, after reading through part 1. You should understand that the reason people begin smoking, (cool, friends, risky, party etc) has no relation to why they continue to smoke.

However as a smoker continues to smoke, reasons need to be found for justifying the behavior, because it makes no more sense to smoke ,than it does putting your head over a fire place and inhaling smoke from there. Reasons have to be made and meaning placed upon the behavior of smoking to justify why a person would do it when it smells bad, tastes bad, costs money and has long ranging health effects.

Once a smoker understands that every reason they have created for continuing to smoke is false, it takes them a giant step closer to being a non smoker. Because there is only one reason why a person smokes, and that is because of the substance nicotine which is found in a cigarette.

When a person inhales nicotine into their body for the first time, rather than relax the body, it creates a slight stress as the nicotine is expelled from the blood stream. This stress is relived when further nicotine is inhaled. The nicotine leaves again, creating a stressor and this stressor is once again relived by smoking. This is the ongoing spiral a smoker finds themselves in. By smoking a person adds an additional stressor into their live called nicotine.

However the stressor itself is very mild. We are aware of many physical stressor’s on our body, such as thirst or hunger. We can notice these physical stressor’s for prolonged periods of time and not even care that much about them.

As the nicotine leaves the body it creates a similar stress to thirst or hunger. It is subtly and relatively mild. Once nicotine is totally expelled from the body the stress is then gone. And any physical effects caused by nicotine is ended. This occurs in as little as 4-7 days.
This slight stress caused by nicotine is not to be confused with what people call a craving. The stress is a slight discomfort. A craving is the meaning placed upon that slight discomfort. It is a fabricated thought process that has been created over the years as a person continues to justify their smoking behavior. People who quit cold turkey and find it easy, interpret the stressor as an annoyance that will soon be gone. Those that go through cravings, place a greater importance upon the feeling.

Say you are a builder and you are out in the sun, it is a hot day and are working high up on a two story home. You may notice you become hot and thirsty. Although you notice the stressor (thirst), but because it would require some effort to climb down the scaffolding, you can’t be bothered doing much about it, plus you have heaps of work to get completed and decide to wait to lunch time. At lunch time you get called away, to run an errand, you are running late over your lunch break, race back to work and straight back up the scaffolding. You forgot to have a drink and notice that you are now quite thirsty. The throat dry and parched. However you can’t be bothered climbing back down and instead get straight back into the work. Later that evening you arrive home, sit down, and suddenly realize how thirsty you are. You go have a drink of water.

Say you are driving along an empty desert road with a group of people. It is a hot day And the car breaks down. Hours pass. Not a single car comes by. You notice you are thirsty. There is nothing to do but wait. And the longer you wait the more you notice you are thirsty, and the sun and the heat, and the absences of other cars. And the dry feeling at the back of the throat. You have no idea when someone will come past. Someone else has a drink bottle but they are not sharing. You begin to worry about how you’ll get more water. It is late afternoon, no cars. You are still stuck. So thirsty. So desperately wanting a drink. Some people are becoming angry, beginning to panic. You so badly need a drink of water. That evening a bus comes past. Suddenly you are relived, excited, you forget about your thirst and can’t wait to get home.

The actual physical sensation of thirst for the builder and the person stranded on the side of the road is exactly the same. However the meaning stressor conveys is different and while the builder is busy and has little time to reflect on the feeling of the stressor(thirst). The person doing nothing, but waiting has plenty of time to just think and contemplate the stressor called thirst which in turns makes it worse.

People who find it easy to quit going cold turkey

Have come to the conclusion, that smoking does nothing for them. Is boring. And the only reason they smoke is to relive a stressor caused by nicotine. They understand this stressor is very mild. Over the first two weeks once the cigarettes are thrown away, they keep themselves busy and occupied. When busy you don’t have time to notice slight physical stressor’s. They understand the thought cigarette, is just that, a thought. People have thousands of thoughts many times a day and don’t do much about them. Cravings are about you. Not the cigarette. They are the value you still place upon them. Take time to go over what you believe that cigarette actually means to you. Or what a craving means to you.

You can use the so what method for this. Each time you make a statement about a cigarette you simple go So What? You continue to do this until you arrive at another conclusion. ‘So what’ refers to So what does that actually mean.

For example. “I want a cigarette”. So what? “Well it would make me feel relaxed”. So what? “It would mean I could take a break from work”. So what? Well then I would be less stressed.” So what? etc etc

Example 2 “I have a craving”. So what? ” It is uncomfortable”. So what? This process takes you from the behavior you have been doing to the actually meaning you have placed upon it.

In part 3 of the series in quitting cold turkey, we look at the second pitfall that has people going back for cigarettes. Using cigarettes as a distraction.

Hypnotherapist Paul Dixon practices Hypnotherapy in Auckland Helping people quit smoking. Paul has written many articles of the applications of Hypnotherapy for quit smoking and other applications of applying hypnosis to create rapid change.

Article Source:http://www.articlesbase.com/quit-smoking-articles/how-to-quit-smoking-cold-turkey-what-about-those-cravings-part-2-1352733.html

In part 1 of this article, we discussed real chemical addiction and how stopping cold-turkey can be life threatening. We also pointed out that although a smoker claims, “I’m dying for a cigarette,” no one has actually died because they didn’t get a smoke.

The reason it is important to understand that cigarette smoking is a psychological addiction rather than a physical one, is to facilitate effective protocols to remove cigarettes from a smoker’s life. In this article, we are going to discuss examples that demonstrate that nicotine is not physically addictive but that cigarette smoking is psychologically addictive.

What is Nicotine

Talk about a substance that has gotten a bad reputation. Nicotine is presented as the ultimate evil and the culprit that makes quitting cigarettes difficult or for some, impossible. However, just what is nicotine?

According to medical researcher Dr. David G. Williams, nicotine is a chemical substance found in cigarette smoke that stimulates the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is needed to facilitate the transmission of nerve impulses.

There’s one thing though, there is another chemical called nicotinic acid that is a close cousin of nicotine that also stimulates the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. What is this almost identical substance? It is called Vitamin B3!

Could smokers be getting Vitamin B3 from their cigarettes? If so, it’s not a healthy way to do it but look at the symptoms of Vitamin B3 deficiency:

Impaired recent memory
Depression
Hyper irritability
Apprehension
Emotional instability

These are many of the reasons that people give for smoking! It improves their memory, lifts their spirits, calms them down, etc. Since many people don’t have good nutrition, perhaps one of the things that fuels the Psychological Smoking Mechanism is a B3 deficiency. After all, these are water soluble vitamins or chemicals, if you will. They are not stored in the body and must be replaced constantly.

The bottom line here is that people don’t get addicted to vitamins! This is just another indicator that the thing that keeps people smoking is not an addiction to nicotine. Let’s look at some of the other things associated with smoking that do not follow the physical addiction mechanism.

If Cigarettes were Addictive

In the previous article in this series, we discussed a case of accidental addiction to pain medicine. As you recall, when the patient discovered they weren’t getting the same results from the standard dose of medicine, they increased the dose which did, for a time give them relief. It wasn’t long before they had to increase the dose again, and again.

This is what happens with chemical addiction, the body views the chemical as throwing it out of balance (homeostasis) and it creates a counter force. It matches each increase with an increase in counter force.

If nicotine was a truly addictive chemical, the smoker would have to keep increasing intake to achieve the same effects that are claimed for cigarettes just as in our drug example. The consumption of cigarettes would increase over time. However, this doesn’t happen.

Let me give you a real life example. My grandfather was a cigarette smoker. He smoked his entire life starting in his early childhood years. He smoked less than a pack of cigarettes per day. The amount smoked never varied. He had a set amount that he unconsciously metered and for over 70 years maintained this level. The fact that he smoked less than a pack per day was to his benefit and delayed the health issues associated with cigarette smoke. But you can’t avoid it forever and he did eventually develop health problems that years of cigarette smoking produced.

A clear indicator that cigarettes are psychologically addictive and not physically addictive is that the smoker settles into a pattern and stays there for years. You have your half a pack a day person, your pack a day person, your 1.5 pack a day person, your 2 pack a day person and in extreme cases, the three pack a day person. This volume is established pretty early and stays that way. There may be daily fluctuations but they all average out. There is a mental meter that regulates the amount of cigarettes smoked! That’s the Psychological Smoking Mechanism.

If cigarettes were physically addictive, the smoker would be adding more and more cigarettes to achieve whatever claimed benefit they provided. This doesn’t happen. This is a clear indicator that that cigarette consumption is regulated by the Psychological Smoking Mechanism and not the chemicals in the cigarette.

If Nicotine was a Chemical Addiction

There is a whole category of smoking cessation treatment protocols that operate under the idea that providing nicotine will take the place of smoking. The thinking behind this category is that supplying nicotine through vehicles such as patches or gum will eliminate the desire to smoke because the hypothetical nicotine demand is being met. Then by reducing the nicotine over time, just like drug rehab, the compulsion to smoke will be eliminated. Sounds great doesn’t it? If nicotine were the culprit, nicotine patches, gum and lozenges would be 100% successful. After all, they are giving the body the chemical that it theoretically craves which is the supposed mechanism behind the compulsion to smoke.

Nicotine patches are powerful products that give the body a steady supply of nicotine. Let’s look at their effectiveness. Since the smoker is getting generous amounts of nicotine which they are supposedly craving, the patches should be incredibly effective. However, some research shows, (Davidson, M., Epstein, M., Burt, R., Schaefer, C., Whitworth, G. & McDonald, A. (1998)), that only 19% of people on patches had stopped smoking at six weeks and that it was reduced to 9.2% at six months. Looking at it another way, at 6 weeks, 81% of the people using nicotine patches were still smoking and at 6 months, about 91% were still smoking. Yes, 10% of those that had stopped were back at it again.

The results for the gum is about the same. Even though the gum was providing the smoker with plenty of nicotine, at 6 weeks, 84% of the people were still smoking and at 6 months, 92% were smoking.

These smokers were getting all the nicotine they supposedly needed. In reality, they were probably getting a great deal more nicotine than the cigarettes they smoked provided. Yet, most of them continued to smoke along WITH the patches or gum. If nicotine doesn’t compel the smoker to smoke, what does? It’s the Psychological Smoking Mechanism.

Another Indicator that It Isn’t Nicotine

With a chemical addiction, more is better for the addict. With nicotine patches, the smoker is getting a great deal of nicotine. They should be satisfied right? Well as mentioned in the last section, only 9% actually stop smoking with the patch. However, putting all that nicotine in a smokers system with patches does have an effect on the smoker. According to the American Lung Association, side effects with the nicotine patch are:

Headache
Dizziness
Upset stomach
Weakness
Blurred vision
Vivid dreams
Mild itching and burning on the skin
Diarrhea

Yes, nicotine does have an effect on the smokers body. However, with all the things that smoking does to the smoker, it doesn’t produce these effects. This is another clue that nicotine is not the motivator to smoke.

Smokers Resume Smoking after Extended Periods

Another clue that nicotine is not the motivator to smoke is the tendency for ex-smokers to resume smoking after a long period of time. Obviously, after an extended period of time, all the nicotine would be out of their system. As has been stated, nicotine is the cousin of Vitamin B3, a water soluble vitamin. These substances are either rapidly used or excess flushed from the body daily. No matter how heavy a smoker, it won’t take very long for all nicotine to be out of their system.

Also, from a strictly habit perspective, a few weeks or months without smoking should have put an end to the habit; the habit of reaching for a cigarette is broken. However, an ex-smoker can pick up a cigarette and resume smoking like they never stopped whether it is weeks, months or even years.

This is because the Psychological Smoking Mechanism is still operating. There is no nicotine in the system, the habit has been abandoned for weeks, months or some time years, yet, cigarette smoking can resume.

Conclusion

The effects of nicotine do not follow the chemical addiction mechanism. Nicotine is similar to Vitamin B3, a water soluble vitamin. It must be replenished daily. It is possible that the smoker has a deficiency of Vitamin B3. Each cigarette provides a small amount of nicotine which is similar to Vitamin B3.

A smoker falls into a pattern of cigarette consumption which doesn’t vary over decades. Whether it is the half pack a day, one pack a day, one and a half pack per day or the extreme of three packs per day, this amount doesn’t vary. Although there may be daily fluctuations, it averages out over time to whatever pattern the smoker follows.

Cigarette consumption is regulated by the Psychological Smoking Mechanism. The only way to remove cigarettes from your life is to remove this mechanism. If the Psychological Smoking Mechanism is not removed, the person quitting cigarettes will continue to be a smoker who doesn’t happen to be smoking right now. When the Psychological Smoking Mechanism is gone, so is smoking because the person has become a NONsmoker!

Smoking Alternatives To Tobacco

How to Battle the Physical Stress

As soon as you start getting any withdrawal symptoms you need to use a nicotine withdrawal relief product. This will calm your stress, and help you fight against wanting another cigarette.

The first thing to do to quit smoking is to set a quit date, after which a person needs to set up a plan for how to quit. Find out how to taper off smoking or how to quit cold turkey withhelp from a mission delivery manager and public health specialist in this free video on smoking cessation. Expert: Shelley Thomas Bio: Shelley Thomas joined the American Cancer Society in April of 2007 as a mission delivery manager covering nine counties. Filmmaker: Rendered Communications

You’ve already decided to quit smoking. Hypnosis is just one of the methods you’ve heard about. You know someone who’s using nicotine gum to quit, and he says it tastes like dirty socks. And you’ve already tried cold turkey a couple of times and remember every agonizing minute of it. So the quit smoking hypnosis program sounds pretty good. But aren’t those programs really expensive? Won’t they cost more than nicotine patches or pills?

Of course, if you’re really concerned about the expense of quitting smoking, there’s no need to tell you that your smoking habit is already costing you a small fortune. You already know that your money is literally going up in smoke. And if you didn’t already know it yourself, your friends and family are more than happy to tell you how much money you’re wasting…over and over again. It’s one of the many reasons you want to quit.

So, as long as the quit smoking method you finally choose costs less than what you’re spending on cigarettes or cigars, you’ll be coming out ahead, right? Maybe not.

Do you know how much those other quit smoking methods really cost? Nicorette gum can cost you more than $100 a month. Using a nicotine patch can also cost you more than $100 a month. And how about those nasal sprays and inhalers? Well, they’ll cost you anywhere from $100 to $400 per month or more. And prescription pills? There’s another hundred dollars per month, at least.

And that’s just the beginning. Smoking cessation programs that use these methods usually plan for you to be on them for two to six months. So you could be looking at a cost of anywhere from $200 to more than $2400 to quit smoking

Of course, double or triple that amount would still be worth it if you really quit smoking for good using those programs. But 8 out of 10 people who use quit smoking drugs end up smoking again after spending all that money. And if they want to try quitting again, using those same methods, they’ll need to spend that same amount of money or more the next time around.

Now compare those costs with the cost of learning how to use hypnosis to quit smoking. Depending on the program you use, hypnosis for quitting smoking can cost anywhere from $40 to $500. Of course, it’s more expensive if you choose to find a hypnotherapist and go to one-on-one, in-person counseling sessions . And it’s less expensive when you buy a book or CDs, and learn to use self-hypnosis.

But whether you learn the techniques in person from a therapist, or from a book or from an internet download, the hypnosis tools you use to quit smoking are just as effective . That’s because what you’re really learning is how to use self-hypnosis to cure yourself from both your physical addiction to nicotine, and from your mental and emotional smoking habits.

When you use gum, patches, sprays, inhalers or pills you’re spending money to address your physical addiction to nicotine. Yes, the nicotine replacement drugs address the physical cravings. But they don’t help one bit with changing all of your day to day smoking behaviors, habits and rituals.

So you finally decided to quit smoking? Good for you. This article is a guide of what you need to do to stop smoking

Many smokers do not feel the subtle effect that smoking has on their bodies and the risk that increases each time they light up. That is why they often underestimate the benefits of stopping smoking. While a huge amount of publicity is being given to the dangers of smoking less attention is being paid to the benefits of stopping smoking – something that can motivate the smoker to give up the habit. If you are a smoker here’s what giving up on the habit can do for you

The methods used to help a person quit smoking are as varied as smokers themselves. Some people find that they can quit smoking just by will power alone, going cold turkey and butting out forever. Others may find that in order to stop smoking they may have to enlist the help of others in the form of a support group or other network. Others turn to methods such as the patch or some types of chewing gum. As cultures begin to merge, however, there are more and more medical practices that have previously been unknown to Western science that may have many benefits to those who wish to stop smoking. Some of these alternative methods are discussed in this article.

Acupuncture: Acupuncture originated in China. It is the practice of inserting long, thin needles into various acupuncture points on the body, which is said to restore mental health and well being. As with many Far East ideas, acupuncture is concerned with restoring balance as a whole, rather than applying the health theories of the West to any one assigned area. The piercing points are areas which help to shock the body back into a healthy balance. Acupuncture is highly debated in medical circles, and studies have never conclusively proven that it is an effective treatment for anything at all. However, many patients who have undergone this treatment sweat by its results, and thus it may indeed be an effective tool when it comes to the battle to quit smoking. Addiction, after all, is in part a mental affliction, and thus if a patient believes that a treatment is working then it is possible that it is doing so. Additionally, acupuncture has been demonstrated to assist in the release of endorphins, the full effects of which on the body as a whole are still unknown to some degree.

Hypnosis: Another method that many smokers try to use when attempting to quit is hypnosis. It is vital that hypnosis be understood in its rightful context, rather than the societal myth. Hypnosis works along the same lines as subliminal messaging; by applying the power of suggestion to a subject who is concentrating on another matter, it is possible to affect the thinking processes of the brain. In this way, hypnosis can be used to curb the cravings that come with nicotine addiction and often lead the smoker to relapse.

There are also several changes to lifestyle that can be made in order to increase the amounts of dopamine found within the body. Dopamine is the active ingredient in Zyban, and levels of dopamine can be increased through a higher protein intake, stress reduction, and by taking vitamins and herbs such as Indian ginseng and magnesium.

Despite these methods and there levels of success, however, it is important to note that the key ingredient when it comes to smoking cessation is will power. No matter which other method you choose to assist you in ending the cravings and lessening the physical symptoms of withdrawal, sooner or later it is going to come down to your ability to say no to a cigarette that will ensure the end of the habit’s hold on your life.

There are literally dozens of tips to quit smoking naturally. There are a lot of people who smoke out there who, among other reasons, are afraid to try to quit cigarettes for the fear of what they think is inevitable weight gain. For some time, I have been studying why some people who choose to quit or lose weight succeed and why some of them don’t.

Lets take a look at what all of the factors are that cause such weight gain in people who quit smoking and see if maybe this weight gain may be able to be controlled to where it does not have to be a factor when you decide to put the cigarettes down for good. As an ex-smoker and a former fatty, I have found what I believe to be the solution to the problem. It is all to do with the decision. We may decide that we would like to quit smoking or that we would like to lose weight, but have we decided to commit to doing it? Until now, drugs that purport to help you quit smoking have largely ignored the root of the problem Nicotine — the chemical that keeps you hooked to those insidious packs of cigarettes and unless you rid your body of that nasty chemical as quickly as possible the success of any Smoking Cessation treatment is reduced dramatically.

But the most important thing that you must remember when you want to quit smoking is that any method, whether it is hypnosis methods or any other methods will work only if you have the will power to say no to cigarettes. If you choose cold turkey, you access virtually the only method that is free, and you can do it at any time. When you use cold turkey, you can use the only method that is very low cost or can be totally free and will put money back in your pocket because you are no longer supporting the habit, and you can do it at any time.

The cold turkey method to help you quit smoking is great if you use the aids listed above because those aids will help you if your body starts to go through withdrawal symptoms, which are often associated when you stop smoking. If you use smoking cessation aids like gum or nicotine patches because those aids can help you if you start to go through nicotine withdrawal symptoms, which are often associated when you stop smoking. If you are trying to quit smoking, products such as nicotine gums are often a first choice.

While trying to quit smoking is hard, it is not impossible and there are some very good products, which have high success rates, on the market. He sent me to the hospital for tests and when I went back he dropped the bombshell: It is time that you quit smoking. 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.

When the smoker is finally able to quit smoking their trigger spots will still be there. A positive mental attitude to quitting smoking, coupled with a good understanding of why you really smoke will help any smoker quit the habit. Hypnotism is no ‘quick fix’ and many experts advise that it should only be one tool from the toolbox – including diet, exercise and developing a more positive outlook – that a smoker needs to use to quit the habit.

There are many great articles and resources that can help you to quit smoking and to help you I’ve collected useful articles and essays from all over the Internet to advise, educate, shock and most of all, help you to stop smoking and enjoy your life to the full. Stop smoking is not easy if you don’t know how to, but can be done. Quitting smoking is one of the most difficult addiction-breaking processes one can go through.
