Smoking is one of the worst habits one may have, being addicted to nicotine is pretty much similar to being addicted to cocaine or heroine. Though many medical and scientific associations have underlined the similitudes between tobacco and cocaine no decisive steps have been made. There are many people eager to try such special methods especially if they are easy to implement. Alternative therapy has come up with quit smoking by hypnosis solutions. To quit smoking by hypnosis is a recent technique very contested by scientists as most doctors and scientists don't accept the idea of influencing the subconscious. Though quit smoking by hypnosis solutions are controversial there are some people that say they feel better, so based on their declarations this new quit smoking by hypnosis treatment gains more and more favorable opinions.
If you run a simple search you will find a multitude of quit smoking by hypnosis solutions over the Internet. Such quit smoking by hypnosis treatments contain a simple mp3 file that must be recorded on a CD or DVD and played several times. There are many people that buy them and say they feel better. However, at the exact opposite pole, there ore others who say they'd rather go to an exorcist than turn to quit smoking by hypnosis. The products are advertised as the extraordinary quit smoking by hypnosis mp3s. Maybe you've seen some shows where people get hypnotized and bark like a dog or any other animal. Those things are real, so be careful to what you listen, I have nothing against those who appeal to such drastic solutions I just say that they don't know to what they expose themselves.
Those who turn to quit smoking by hypnosis usually have tried other untested methods like yoga or any other alternative therapies, it is true that there is a small percentage of people that have an inclination to mysticism but before contacting some therapists that use quit smoking by hypnosis techniques try to find out the side effects of such a quit smoking by hypnosis treatment. The truth that any medic or scientist can confirm is that we know little or nothing at all about mysticism and what it involves. You can search for opinions on the Internet and you will find that many share my opinion underlaying the dangers that can appear if you try quit smoking by hypnosis. However, if you come to work with a true professional, quit smoking by hypnosis may work as it is said to eliminate the desire to smoke from the most inner levels of the subconscious.

Quit smoking - Hypnosis?
Its not a secret that smoking is one of the biggest problems that troubles our modern society as millions people die every year from a smoking caused illness. Free stop smoking hypnosis is one of the most modern methods to fight nicotine. The cause of smoking is different for each individual as there is a variety of emotional and psychological factors involved. A personal problem can make one start smoking just like a very stressful life style. The free stop smoking hypnosis helps you from inside your own mind. If the smoking causes are within each individual doctors say that the cure is also there. So this is why any quit–smoking program comes with a lot of counseling for helping one overcome all the imminent difficulties. Some people are ready to try new free stop smoking hypnosis techniques and are pleased with the results. Let's see the pros and cons of free stop smoking hypnosis methods. This might be for you to quit smoking!
The problem with free stop smoking hypnosis treatments is that you don't really know what it really goes on during the procedure. Basically during free stop smoking hypnosis sessions the nicotine addiction should be eliminated from your subconscious. Maybe you've seen shows where a person is hypnotized and then makes some foolish things, all those happenings are real. About the method, yes, it can be useful, because the mind can simply be programmed to hate cigarettes but I wouldn't trust anyone to play with my mind. Theoretically free stop smoking hypnosis can be successfully applied to some patients and if you surf the Internet for opinions you will find a lot of happy stories as well as some complaints against this method. Presently a large number of free stop smoking hypnosis mp3s exist on various sites.
As I see it the only advantage to stop smoking hypnosis method over the classical treatments is that there are no side effects as those reported in the case of some nicotine-based substitutes. As a common disadvantage of the free stop smoking hypnosis mp3 files that can be found on the Internet is that you'll have to waste a lot of time listening to them. Usually about 6 hours of listening are needed every week so if you have this time to spend, the free stop smoking hypnosis might be the solution for you. However, it would be best to turn to a professional in the field, even if you have to pay for the procedure. Such organized non-free stop smoking hypnosis therapy shows results sooner than the free variants available on the Internet.
This might work for some, as long as this helps anyone who wants to quit smoking can give hypnosis a shot!

Cigarette smoking - won't kill me!
At least that's what I think. I know that some doctors might say that a single cigarette consumption is same as a pack, but considering the number of cigarette stick I've reduce consuming per day, is a great feat for me (averaging 5 light cigarette stick daily).I think it is for almost 2 months now. You might say that "it's nothing compared to...blah", well, that's good enough for me for now. All it takes is to have a control, I don't actually have a full control of it but I think I developed a self discipline on my cigarette smoking (the urge is now less), I hope and would try my best to maintain this and continue improving up to its elimination. The best part is my BP (blood pressure) is now consistently making it to a normal BP of 120/90 ( I have my worst at 160/100). If you are really up to it, then what you can do is think first before lighting a cigarette ( a few seconds would do!), what to think about? here's some:
- think of your health ( I'm pretty sure we're not getting any healthier!)
- think about the person/s surrounding you (specially if there are non-smokers or babies)
- think of the horrible effect of excessive cigarette smoking (I think this one works for me, I can't stand a gruesome picture!)

It is easy to quit smoking
The problem with most smokers is that they wish to recover quickly from the nicotine damage, well I'm afraid there are very few easy ways to quit smoking. Easy ways to quit smoking exist but they are not as done-in-a-minute as they say and you will need a lot of determination and courage to succeed. The truth is that nowadays we need fast solutions to critical problems. Where can one look for easy ways to quit smoking? The most common answer would be on the Internet. High levels of stress are one of the biggest problems when you try to use easy ways to quit smoking and we must admit that usually our lives have a crazy rhythm. This is why I can't say that one single easy way to quit smoking really exists though theoretically there are alternatives. The cold turkey method is very disputed as some people have cured themselves using this technique while many others didn't find any relief.
I consider that the cold turkey is one easy way to quit smoking though it hasn't been confirmed yet to be highly effective. This is the theoretical easy way to quit smoking and it stands valid for those who smoke like twenty cigarettes a day. It also applies to someone that is highly-motivated by some external extreme factor. Once you feel your life at risk, you take the cold turkey method as one easy way to quit smoking. Therefore such easy ways to quit smoking do work but their effectiveness depends on lots of individual independent factors that vary from case to case.
It is normal to learn from the beginning that the easy way to quit smoking requires sacrifice and determination too. If you have a powerfully motivating factor like an illness caused by tobacco then your chances of success increase significantly. If you opt for one of the so called easy ways to quit smoking like acupuncture or over the counter treatments you considerably reduce the amount of the withdrawal symptoms. If you haven't decided yet which of the easy ways to quit smoking to try maybe surfing the web is a good idea and you could learn some tips for a healthier lifestyle. Keep in mind, however, that nothing works wonders and that easy ways to quit smoking also depend on you.

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!)
- 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
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!
