Is it Hard to Quit smoking?

From a cigarette smokers perspective quitting to smoke a cigarette is hard. Although there is a considerable number of smokers who realizes its threats or danger to himself and the public. In some cases, cigarettes cause accidental fires which is very rare. The health is the most at risk, it can cause many health complications commonly to the cardiovascular (heart) and respiratory (lungs) or worst a cancer. Why it is hard to quit? believe me it is a bad habit to break specially if your smoking cigarettes for quite sometime now. It is very obvious and widely spread that addiction to Nicotine is the cause.

Ever wonder how we really get addicted to Nicotine? When you puffs a cigarette, nicotine particlesgoes to the lungs through
inhalation. Nicotine then is absorbed and flows to our bloodstream just like the oxygen people breathe. It travels with the blood to the brain where it
locks onto certain receptor areas. Dopamine is then released into the brain. This is the culprit that makes the smoker feel a euphoric sensation. Smokers find it difficult to quit because they come to be dependent on this good feeling. And in wanting to experience this repeatedly, this leads todependence a sign of addiction. (got this from a certain medical book). Ask a cigarette smoker (me!) on what it takes to trash this habit or the things to be given up. Here is the most probable list :

• the relaxing feeling (feels good) -
  
• a good buddy ( it will be there for you for good and bad times - even in your death, LOL!)
• they think they are still healthy
  
• afraid of the withdrawal symptoms (but not afraid to die!)

withdrawal symptoms

• depression - brain becomes distressed without it
  
• Headaches, dizziness, and nausea
  
• Shakes, chills
  
• Cough, dry throat nasal drip
  
• Hunger, fatigue - Constipation, gas or stomach pain
  
• Insomnia, troubled sleep
  
• Not knowing what to do with their hands is another common complaint

For a long time cigarette smoker, you may not realize but there are some kind of emotional attachment to cigarettes (their the best bud!), specially during some stressful time.
We think of them as a part of our life but they are not (we just made them and we became worst). building a will to quit smoking is hard but it is not impossible, no matter how many attempt you try to quit, don't just give up. A method/s that suits you, add up to your will, will eventually lead to success. Quit smoking!
