You Can Stop Smoking


another informative post on how not to kill yourself and others through cigarette smoking!

The facts are clear. There is nothing worse you could do to adversely affect your health. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. Women are three times more likely to develop lung cancer then men. Cancer has now replaced heart disease as the number one killer of Americans aged 85 and younger. 1/3 of all cancer deaths are related to smoking.

Although there has been a huge decrease in the number of smokers between 1965 and 2000, 22f American adults still continue to smoke. The good news is that surveys have shown that 70f active smokers want to quit.

When you quit smoking the benefits are immediate. Blood cells that transport carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke begin to transport healthy oxygen. Even though quitting doesn't completely eliminate the risk of developing lung cancer, the risk of lung cancer starts to decline. One year after quitting smoking your chances of having a heart attack drops by half. The risk of lung cancer continues to decline and drop dramatically five to ten years after quitting. So we know that quitting is essential to enjoying a long and healthy life. The question is how do you pick the right way to stop smoking for you?

The first thing you need to know is that most smokers quit unsuccessfully several times before they quit for good. You will most likely not be successful your first time around - but you must still try! Each time you attempt to quit you come closer to finally quitting for good.

There are many organizations available to help you take control of your health and quit smoking. Most smokers find a greater success rate in groups. Organizations such as SmokEnders have community based seminars and will come to the workplace to counsel smokers. SmokEnders is a gradual stop smoking program that says it's success is based on treating the physical and the psychological aspects of smoking. They offer unlimited toll-free phone counseling.

Some people prefer to try to stop cold turkey. They stop smoking completely with little or no reduction in the number of cigarettes they smoke beforehand. As with any smoker who quits, those who quit cold turkey will experience the withdrawal symptoms of irritability, increased appetite and restlessness. For someone trying to stop smoking cold turkey help can be obtained using medications such as Zyban which lessens withdrawal symptoms. Zyban can only be obtained with a prescription.

Some smokers obtain relief from smoking withdrawal with a nicotine replacement commonly known as a nicotine patch. Patches are used for up to eight weeks. Nicotine patches are available over the counter. It is suggested that you talk to your doctor before trying any over the counter nicotine replacement therapy.

The American Cancer Society and American Lung Association have free information available. The federal government also has free information for smokers available at http://www.smokefree.gov.

Smoking and Impotence - real Kill

Almost everyone know what impotence is, to describe it clearly it is the inability of a man to to have a stiffness on his thing or erection for sexual purposes. Now that is scary! The most scariest of this is that i've read that Impotence or erectile dysfunction is more twice likely to be more affected on smokers compared to non-smokers. what the ****!

Here are the facts I gathered:

Sexual functioning requires the coordination of several functions in the body. This includes the nervous system (mental stimulation)working in coordination with hormones, and the vascular system which pumps blood into the muscle tissue that maintains the erection.Smoking can affect all these systems, thereby, causing impotence.

Many diseases caused by smoking involve blockage of the arteries,meaning that smoking inhibits the flow of blood throughout thebody. Strokes and heart attacks are one result of severe blood flow blockage. Impotence is another result of arterial blockage.

Long-term smoking causes more physiological damage. In a United States study, healthy men who smoked,with no history of impotence, heart disease or diabetes, were interviewed twice over 8 years. The second interview revealed that although these men still had no heart disease or diabetes,they were twice as likely to experience moderate or severe impotence.

A secondary study indicated that smoking is an independent risk factor contributing to impotence.After considering other risk factors, it was found that current smokers were twice as likely to experience impotence as non-smokers.
Another independent study grouped impotent smokers,according to how many cigarettes they smoked each day.
The study concluded:
heavy smokers (40+ cigarettes/day) had the "softest" night-time erections;
smoking was related to an abnormal decline of blood pressure in the penis.


In case you have some impotency problem due to cigarette smoking, the onli way to cure this if the degree of damages is not yet worst is by simply quitting cigarette smoking. How simple is that! We know its not but let's make sure we are preparing for it, or suffer its consequences.

Cemetery Cigarettes

As a yearly tradition, we visited the cemetery on our Halloween holidays and as expected traffic and a large volume of people will be there. As usual we packed things like candles, flowers and some food and snacks, its like a whole day event where we remember the beloved relatives and friend who past away by lighting a candle, offering prayers and flowers.

During the visit, while we were walking, we past by this unusual headstone. Normally candles are lighted up, but with this one, it was cigarettes. A pack of cigarettes and a box of match was also left infront of the headstone it looks to me as it was an offering instead of the usual flowers.

I got curious and decided to hang around this headstone, there lay (according to the engraving) a 22 year old man who died 2 years ago. when I was about to leave 2 man visited, they light up a cigarette and after some puffs they put the cigarettes in a miniature vase (for flowers) and lay it infront of the headstone. Surely, it was his friends who is visiting him, the mystery is why are they lighting up cigarettes instead of candles. My guess is that the guy probably dies from a cigarette smoking related cause and that they remember him as a happy smoking dude! or maybe they are a bunch of hardcore cigarette smokers who is in a race to die young (he wins! LOL! just kidding!). I may never know but I'm pretty sure I don't want to be remembered ( If I die) as a guy killed by cigarette smoking! STOP SMOKING!

Cigarette really Kills!

In my days of worse cigarette smoking (not even thinking on quitting to smoke). I have once collected cigarette packs of a Marlboro, they have these limited edition of design for their packs, the design was cool and macho. I don't remember what year was that ( I still have them kept in my drawer ), I bet they got a good sale and profit for that and additional death rate!.

I also once saw an AD on a cigarette pack which is anti-smoking AD. It is not a regular all text warning AD (that is almost invisible to read) but a huge horrible image of a smoking related disease, it is really creepy! Since it is an imported pack, I think that some countries has a regulation on cigarette packages. I personally think this works! Philippines don't have this kind of awareness, Hell! even a seven year old kid can buy a cigarette these days.

Searching the web, I viewed some of these type of cigarette packages. some are funny but majority of it is really gruesome! All are image of cigarette related disease to the max! I think it depends on the implementing country on how gruesome it can be. I've posted some on my last post, I'll be posting other images after I have them collected. It will really make you wanna Quit Smoking!

Heart of a cigarette

Quitting or stop of cigarette smoking really do well once your in a brink of dying. the worst case is that smoking is the the reason. there are many side effects, except for the relaxation purpose, may this relax us more (LOL!)

Popular knowledge amongst us is that cigarette smoking affects the heart. To make it more clear the medical term used in any heart problem is cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is defined as diseases and injuries of the heart (any), the blood vessels of the heart, and the system of blood vessels (veins and arteries) throughout the body and within the brain.

The major factor on cardio diseases is that the supply of nutrients and oxygen is being limited or block, for a cigarette smoker, oxygen which is necessary in the circulation is being replace by carbon dioxide and other gases in every cigarette smoke inhalation. We don't need to be a doctor to visualize this, but once it lacks supply of oxygen our heart will then have produce oxygen to compensate the loss, resulting to a faster heart rate.

Also nicotine and other chemicals tends to deposit on the blood vessel and arteries which limits the supply of blood to the heart and a possible clogging. We all know the result of this, a stroke or heart attack.


how's that for a motivation!

One thing is sure and that is cigarette smoking is a risk factor in having a cardiovascular disease. We love our heart so lets Quit Smoking Cigarettes, it has a far greater benefit to all. KILL SMOKING!

Opinions against quit smoking by hypnosis

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!
