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.

All About Quit Smoking Systems!

Quit smoking is indeed hard so it is essential to take some help and advice. If you have taken the decision of quitting smoking but you are finding ways which can help you then the good news is that you can employ some of the best methods which have gained immense success in eradicating smoking. Every one knows about the health risks attached with this addictive smoking habit but often people gets failure in quitting it because of the nicotine carving and withdrawal symptoms which make their life disgusting and hell. Not only the health hazards, smoking also makes you waste hell lot of money from your pocket which can be used for some constructive purposes.

Therefore one has several reasons to quit smoke. However the biggest challenge for any quitter is the undesired and irritable symptoms associated with nicotine withdrawal. It has been seen that when a smoker quirts smoking then the after effects of quitting makes its really difficult for him to survive without cigarettes. This is because the body is habitual of getting nicotine intake and it the absence of it, the body responds in a different way. If you are a chain smoker and thinks that quitting smoking by using cold turkey will do the trick then you are highly mistaken as it will become really difficult for you to tolerate the withdrawal symptoms which ultimately lead you towards anxiety.

A good option is to combine cold turkey with natural therapies for favorable results. Some of the other methods which can be used to quit smoking are herbs, acupuncture, hypnosis and many others. If we talk about the conventional treatment options, then nicotine replacement therapies are popular. This will help in eradicating smoking habit by replacing it with nicotine present in patches or gum which is not addictive and harmful. In this way you will slowly and gradually stop smoking dangerous cigarettes.

However one must remember that no one quit smoking system works for all individuals as each individual is different in terms of nervous system and body. One of the other quit smoking program which has gained popularity in recent times is cig-arette smoking cessation. This system consists of herbal ingredients which target the withdrawal symptoms thus giving you strength to quit the smoking habit. The system does not believe in testing the patience of smoker unlike other methods and claims to give favorable results within a week. So a smoker doesn’t have to wait too long to live a smoke free life.

All the above discussed methods can be used to say bye-bye to smoking but consult your doctor to get your smoking habit and your body analyzed so that he can suggest you the right quit smoking system readily acceptable by your body.

Smoking can be eradicated by employing two things, a perfect quit smoking system and determined mind. Unless your mind is not prepared to stop smoking, your body will not respond in a positive manner.

Cigarette Content

"Stop smoking Harmful chemical"- it a good slogan but I think it is too long. Although most people already knew that nicotine is the prime substance in a cigarette, few people only realize that nicotine is just a part of something really huge variety of harmful substance specially when a cigarettes are burned and smoked. Usually a smoking person does not even bother what they are into (from my own experience, I didn't care at first) or what they are inhaling. But in an age of internet domination every information is available to anyone. how about checking my dear friend google, as you would guess there are almost infinite information on this. Others are even hilarious in writing about cigarettes stuff (that's cool!), although quit smoking issue is a serious one, it never hurts to give it some humor maybe it will reach some people.

In a cigarettes it contains a dried tobacco, which is then mixed with a variety of chemical and ingredients. according to wikipedia it contains an unimaginable 4,000 chemicals (whey!) and that is enormously many and the best news it that some of that are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic. Of course the content of this chemicals vary on the flavor and the brand of a cigarette.



I found this illustration for the purpose of easy viewing of the substance/chemical of a single cigarette, I decided to put this image on this blog for a reminder. If we quit smoking, we reduce chances that it will never enter our body that may cause health complication in the future.

Cigarette Smoking and Nicotine

If we are to tackle something in our lives it is best that we get useful information as much as possible, just like we do in work, whatever work you are in. Basketball is a profession (it just came into my my mind because it is the NBA playoffs), if you watch basketball you know that a certain team that win don't just play the ball, the whole team studies their opposite teams through videos and statistics, and they make the right plays and preparation in order to win. You have to know something on you opponent to win and have the advantage.

In order to quit smoking, we too should have an ample of information to have the ability to be successful, for me this blog is information gathering to help myself and others. Did you know that there are thousand of information available regarding cigarette smoking, it just not registers to everybody's brain. I do some reading from time to time on quit smoking stuff, and I like to share this topic about Nicotine, the most popular substance of a cigarette (although I found out that there are plenty more hazardous substance in it). It is from an E-book which is free, it never hurts to know something beneficial to kill smoking.

Nicotine creates a biochemical reaction in your body that has an immediate effect on your mood, your ability to reason, and your metabolism. Even if you only smoke a few cigarettes a day, you do feel so bad when you try to quit? The more that you smoke, the higher level of chemical dependency will be reached. Light smokers can also become just as dependent on cigarettes because of nicotine’s psychological impact. In this way it can affect moods and feelings in certain situations.

It is only a matter of seconds after that first puff that nicotine starts to have an effect on your central nervous system, and the rest of your body. Certain areas of the brain, when stimulated by nicotine, help you think more clearly. Other areas of the brain lie in a pleasure center which when stimulated can make you feel more relaxed and less anxious.

Nicotine also affects the hormones produced by the body, which creates a chemical dependency to nicotine and the accompanying craving. Heavy smokers have become dependent on heightened levels of hormones, stimulated by nicotine, which can have an addictive quality. They need a cigarette at certain intervals of time. After the stimulation of the hormones starts to fall, they need another cigarette to bring them back into the comfort zone. If they do not get that cigarette, the craving begins.

Smoking video with scary narrator

Good day! I found this simple video on cigarette smoking, in which an experiment is done to show what could have gotten to our lungs after a single puff of smoke. The experiment uses a table napkin to view a possible outcome. Watching this kind of videos really makes you have a second thought on smoking.

The narrator of the video even spoke electronically, I think he damage his throat. I bet he is a heavy smoker who was force to quit smoking cigarette because of his severe condition. He warns every cigarette smoker to stop smoking. Just watch it! Hope this come through to all of our senses, and make the best decision before it it too late!



Quit Smoking -

Cigarette Smoking Instant Cure

Are you looking for an instant stop smoking scheme, I found one (LOL!).
Last night I saw an old film titled Constantine, it starred Keanu Reeves as a Paranormal psychic or whatever they call it. Anyway in this film he perform exorcism to people with devils inside them.

Aside from being a some sort of psychic, he is also a heavy smoker in this film and that he is in really bad shape because his doctors told him that he will die anytime soon because of the severed lung problem he got from smoking cigarettes (nothing's new!), but that did not urge him to quit smoking he even continue to smoke in front of the doctor (some bad ass!).
The main plot of the story is that Constantine is buying or hoping for consideration for his way to heaven by sending demons to hell, cause he is doomed to be in hell and that Lucifer itself will be the one to claim him once he died which will be sooner because of his cigarette smoking.



What makes me fond of this story is that Constantine did recover from his lung problem, Lucifer cured the wrist slashes and took off that dirt-like (some kind of a muddy oil) from his chest in an attempt to make him live (cause at that scenario he was about to go to heaven - self sacrifice made the heaven change their minds), He did it so that Constantine have to prove he's worthy of
going to heaven and also there is a chance that he will go to hell, where Lucifer wants to.



I like the end scene where you thought that he is about to light a cigarette but he chewed a gum instead, he has to die before he realize to take care of his health, fortunately he did stop smoking. Well, it is a good movie that might get you a second thought on cigarette smoking but I don't think that there will be a divine intervention when you're about to die in real life due to
cigarette smoking and it is late to realize. Our only chance is to think positive and stop smoking as soon as possible.

A vacation equals more smoking

I got some vacation, it is actually a go-to-province trip to spend some time with friends and relatives. it was quite a good one for the family, actually it is my wife's province, and with her relatives we did some of the stuff that men do, we drink! We almost drank every other day and of course you know what usually happens to a smoker during a drinking session. I got lost of tracking how many cigarettes I have consumed and I presumed it is pretty darn many.

I really don't know what's with this beer drinking , or whatever drinks that makes you drunk goes hand-in-hand with cigarette smoking (at least for me, that's one of my problem!), some of my drinking buddies then don't even smoke, others do also. And as much as I remember (in one instance), I even smoke their brand of cigarette which I don't usually like (we are of different brand of cigarettes) 'cause I have consumed mine and it is a pack (whey!). Well, I guess I've lost control, that what being drunk is.

why did I smoke that much:

• I have a drinking buddy who smoke that much
• It feels good while drinking but not in the morning (you can feel you're chest complaining!)
• They even light a cigarette for me (how thoughtful! or evil LOL!)
• I forgot that I have a self-project on Quit smoking
  

Well, at least it is over now, and can get back to work on cutting those cigarettes consumption per day. I normally drink with my friend at least once per month (that one has to be monitored!). One lesson I found, is that you always got to have control of yourselves before its too late, Control is the Key. I think if we can fully control ourselves that is the best start on quitting cigarette smoking. Lets look for that control not the TV remote control.

Smoking during Pregnancy

The scene of looking at a pregnant smoker is a nuisance to me, it gives a very wrong impression to other people (young and adults) of being careless and selfish (not that they doesn't share their cigarettes but their sharing it the wrong way). Well I'm not sure, but I think having that kind of situation (being pregnant) gives some, if not, enough motivation to stop smoking (life is at stake!), or at least for the pregnancy period (I don't know if that is possible).

Considering it gives health problem to adults what more to an unborn baby. I'm not a doctor but it is pretty obvious that the unborn child will likely to get oxygen, blood and other nutrients from his mother's intake and with cigarette smoking, you'll also pass the harmful chemicals such as nicotine and etc., that eventually you'll also deal later (who else!). For pregnant smokers kindly give it a thought and some consideration, to protect the health of your baby and you. Don't take the risk!

I've took some notes on some harmful effect that smoking cigarette during pregnancy can incur:

• Miscarriage
• Harmful chemical pass to unborn baby is cancerous
• Congenital defects in the baby - such as cleft palate
• The born baby has a high possibility of having health and development problem (both physical and mental)
• The risk of Stillbirth or death within the first week of life
  

Hope this helps/warns pregnant smoker on making up their mind. Quit Smoking!

To our Great Mothers

Last Sunday was a celebrated day to all mothers, it is a great way to recognize them. It is called Mother's Day. We all may have different mothers but one thing for sure they really do care a lot to all their sons and daughters, in all their different ways. I don't live with my parents, I do have a family now and we celebrate it (my wife and son) by going out. We strolled on a Mall, while greeting our parents on the celebrated day through our cellphone. Good thing there's a cellphone they have become a necessary device rather than just a necessity. I've refrain smoking on the mall cause it is not allowed and I was busy sight-seeing, these are the times when I get to limit my nicotine intake (good for me!).

I remember the first time my Mother saw me smoking a cigarette, although I did smoke some during college days but it was when I am already working that she get to formally saw me ( it was intentional, see MoM I'm a grown up, LOL!). My mother was not infuriated by that, I think because my father also smoke cigarettes-once a chain smoker but already quit, age and health almost caught up on him, but she's kinda disappointed, she just made a tiger look on Dad as if saying "it must be your fault". But you know mothers they can really get to your skin, every time we met (that is on occasions only), there would be a non-stop motherly advice on quitting to smoke, and some scary stories that she would always brought up related to cigarette smoking, you know what they say "Mother's knows best!".

Listening to our mothers is not always a nag, I remember my father saying that you'll fully understand when you grow up. Yes, I understand now, the need of a mother that we normally take for granted, they are the person that will really come running when we are in trouble on whatever age you are, I really Love my Mother. I did make her proud, I graduated from college and now working and living on my own. I think I would make her prouder if I could just show her that I've stop smoking, that would really put a smile on my Family and to my MOM.

How hard can it be?

If you are a long time cigarette smoker, I mean at least for 10 years now. it will be hard to Quit Smoking and it is very hard I've tried it but no avail. I got a record of no cigarette smoking for 2 days and that is because I'm very sick . How come it is easy to kill ourselves with cigarette smoking and hard to get rid of it?, we should think of the opposite.
We all might find this useful it is much more comprehensive, I've read it on an e-book I downloaded from a torrent (hope, you know what I mean).

Look at the following Reasons for Quitting: -

• You will live longer and live better.
• Become a high-energy person without cigarettes
• Quitting will lower your chance of having a heart attack
• Reduce the chance of Cancers of the lung, mouth and throat
• Relax and enjoy the pleasure of relaxation without cigarettes.
• Deal with your tensions without a cigarette.
• If you are pregnant women, this will improve chances of having a healthy baby.
• The people you live with, especially family members will be healthier.
• Save money.
  

Searching the internet gives you a lot of information on quitting cigarettes smoking, that's what I do in spare time get some necessary tool (information) to have a success on this before setting a time to quit, it might be not now but Ill do it!

Kill Smoking or Get a Buerger!

Well! this might catch some fear on you! (It did some to me!), I bet quitting cigarette smoking will cross your mind again. I saw this on a TV shows which features a cigarette smoking related disease. It is called a Buerger's disease (it is pronounce as burger, that one is yummy, this is not!). Guess what? This type of disease is exclusive to smokers only (damn!), it start with hands or feet getting in pain (actual interview on a patient says that it is painful!), actually blood is not in good circulation in these parts of the body which doctors think that it is cause by some ingredient in tobacco, particularly on cigarettes (yikes!).

Bad condition of this will result to the development of Gangrene (look at photos above) and unbearable pain. You know what? amputation is the final result on this situation (more yikes!). well it won't kill you instantly but it will tear you apart piece by piece literally.

Guess again, the only treatment for Buerger's disease is a complete stop on smoking and nothing else. Let's Quit Smoking!

Is there an Ultimate way to Stop Smoking?

There are claims that there is, but if you ask me, there's no ultimate way to stop smoking (not that I've tried any). Every person is different and a way that might be effective to one person might not be to other or chances are very low. Ask some people you know who stop smoking (if you know one) of how they did it, chances are you also get a different motivation and answers. Fortunately I know one person who Quit Smoking, but unfortunately he's very sick right now.

There are available medications that claim can help you Quit smoking in no time, some I think have been trying that, although I saw in one news that some "quit smoking medications" makes you insane (I think that brand was banned already), some goes to religion and while others just did it because their dying (that's not what I wanted!) or want to recover from their health. And there a some instance that they just did it by themselves (pure will!)


Some smokers wants to stop smoking but their not totally serious, deep inside we have some dumb reasons. Getting fat, that's one issue although I don't think Nicotine has got something to do with that, and others just don't want to give up their coolness (Cool to be Dead! LOL!). Finding the best way to stop smoking is for every smokers to find out, it can be discovered more easily by people who have a stronger character (I'm trying to build that character!), this is why many find quitting the hardest thing they've ever tried while others say that they simply quit without medication or any other help.

Reason to Quit Smoking

Besides from not wanting to die, of course we all are familiar with the effect, mainly through our respiratory system, there's mouth, throat, larynx and the lung that are all prone to cancer, also prone to stroke and other heart diseases.

Why not look at it at a monetary side, yes! you can save a lot,if you count in years and the years to come (it won't make you a millionaire - I hope so.). The money saved can be beneficial to you (just don't use it to by a pot!), calculate it yourself (cause I did - and from my computation, I could have be buying now a handsome digital camera!).

One day I left my pack of cigarette on our couch, when I get back I saw my five year old son sticking a cigarette on his mouth, of course I took it back and ask him not to cause it is bad (I didn't say it kills that too horrifying!). like any other child at that age would question why are you doing it if its bad, I just answer that I was bad but now trying to be good (I'd be quitting smoking!), then I open the TV to cartoons so that he may forget it (he will, he's just 5). I came to realize that the major factors that minors get the Idea of smoking is from adults smokers whom they know (neighbors, relatives, etc) and who didn't even realize that they are the no.1 advertiser and promoter of cigarette smoking. I tried to hide smoking cigarette to kids, but I think its no good. it just got to stop, when? I still don't know, but its never too late and we might save some minors going through it!

All Smokers want to Quit Smoking

We all heard and saw all sorts of campaign pertaining to negative effect of smoking by government, health institute, and there's even a warning labeled right in front of a cigarette pack (Wow! cigarette manufacturers do care to!). But there's no stopping cigarette smoking, there are more young people (even younger nowadays) that are starting to smoke than the ones dying from it.

To quit smoking once you're hooked into (or addictive-a more powerful term) is not easy, believe me I'm a cigarette smoker too and its been my 3 years New Years resolution to stop smoking on my 12 years of polluting my body and the environment (just like all my resolution, Jeez!). But I think its never too late (I think!), self motivation I think is the key to this quit smoking thing and that's what I'm about to do. Kill the smokers, oops! I mean the smoking.
