Why Quit Smoking ?

2007-10-08T13:31:00.000+08:00

Health concerns usually top the list of reasons people give for quitting smoking. About half of all smokers who continue to smoke will end up dying from a smoking-related illness. For the first time, the Surgeon General includes pneumonia in the list of diseases caused by smoking.

Smoking increases the risk of lung diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. For women, there are unique risks. Women over 35 who smoke and use birth control pills are in a high-risk group for heart attack, stroke, and blood clots of the legs. Based on data collected in the late 1990s, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that adult male smokers lost an average of 13.2 years of life and female smokers lost 14.5 years of life because of smoking.

No matter what your age or how long you've smoked, quitting will help you live longer. People who stop smoking before age 50 cut their risk of dying in the next 15 years in half compared with those who continue to smoke. Ex-smokers also enjoy a higher quality of life with fewer illnesses from cold and flu viruses, better self-reported health, and reduced rates of bronchitis and pneumonia.

For decades the Surgeon General has reported the health risks associated with smoking. Regardless of your age or smoking history, there are advantages to quitting smoking.

Benefits apply whether you are healthy or you already have smoking-related diseases.

Quitting smoking has major and immediate health benefits for men and women of all ages. Benefits apply to people with and without smoking-related disease.

Former smokers live longer than continuing smokers.

Quitting smoking decreases the risk of lung cancer, other cancers, heart attack, stroke, and chronic lung disease.

Women who stop smoking before pregnancy or during the first 3 to 4 months of pregnancy reduce their risk of having a low birth weight baby to that of women who never smoked.

Anxiety in Children

2007-07-05T12:51:00.000+08:00

Smoke and nicotine children –

Anxiety in children should be of the utmost importance to a parent. Teaching children critical thinking skills and how to self-comfort in times of anxiety helps them to handle stress as adults in a positive and healthy fashion. Help for Anxiety in Children

Contrary to popular belief, anxiety is not a disorder limited to the adult population. Anxiety in children is rapidly increasing as children, too are feeling the effects of stress in their lives.

Events of childhood can deeply affect an individual’s entire life. It is mandatory for every parent to recognize the anxiety in their children and to nip it in the bud, before it takes over their child’s personality.

Therapy for Children Suffering From an Anxiety Disorder

Anxiety in children should always be given special attention. Group psychotherapy can also be considered as it reassures the child that he is not alone and there are other children facing similar problems.

Along with the affected child, parents should also be given guidance sessions which help them continue the management of their children’s anxiety at home. School based counseling is preferred in situations where the school is the cause of the anxiety.

Parents and teachers should understand the emotional background of the anxiety in children. Any situation which triggers anxiety in children should be planned for ahead of time, in order to manage the situation in the best way possible. Encouragement and praise of the child is a key strategy to combat anxiety in children. Special care is taken for children whose anxiety is due to school phobias. The Use Of Anti-Anxiety Medication in Children

The list of drugs available for the management of anxiety in children is long.

It was the smell of cigarette smoke!
On Saturday night I was with two of my friends in a small stuffy French pub where men and women smoked, drunk and danced all night.

Top 5 Health Risks for Women

2007-07-05T12:34:00.000+08:00

Smoke and nicotine women –

1. Heart Disease

Heart disease is often thought of as primarily affecting men, although in the United States more women die of heart disease each year than men – nearly 500,000.*
Help protect yourself from heart disease by:
Not smoking, and limiting your exposure to secondhand smoke.
Discussing your risk factors and your family's medical history with your physician.

2. Cancer

The most common cause of cancer death for U.S. women is lung – not breast – cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, in 2005, about 73,000 women died of lung cancer, roughly 40,000 women died of breast cancer and approximately 28,000 American women died of colorectal cancer.
To reduce your risk of cancer, follow the same tips for preventing heart disease.

3. Stroke

Of the nearly 163,000 Americans who die of stroke each year, roughly 60% are women.** Stroke is more than just the third-leading cause of death of American women; it's also one of the leading causes of disability.**
Some risk factors for the disease (such as family history; age; sex; race; and a history of migraines, autoimmune diseases and clotting disorders) can't be controlled, but two major risk factors – smoking and high blood pressure – can be minimized by following the same steps that help prevent heart disease.

4. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The fourth most-common cause of death, COPD includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, but not asthma or other obstructive diseases.

5. Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disease that afflicts an estimated 4.5 million Americans and ultimately leads to death.*** Researchers have yet to unlock the mysteries of preventing Alzheimer's. Some experts theorize, however, that preventing serious head injury and maintaining good cardiovascular health might reduce the risk of the disease.

Using Hypnosis To Quit Smoking

2007-07-04T14:55:00.000+08:00

Smoke and nicotine hypnosis –

When they make the decision to quit smoking, most smokers turn to patches or nicotine gum. Partly because you're still getting an intake of nicotine.
There are other methods to quit smoking that don't involve the use of patches, gum or drugs. One of the most effective of these is using hypnosis to quit smoking.
The good news is that not only is hypnosis more effective but it's cheaper than most of the alternative methods (apart from will power of course, but that has the lowest success rate). Patches seem to be priced at around the same cost as your daily ration of cigarettes. A hypnosis course to quit smoking will likely only cost you about a week or two's worth of your regular cigarette intake. You may be asking what happens to the one person in three who doesn't manage to use hypnosis to quit smoking.

Celebrities, Smoking and Cheap Cigarettes

2007-06-28T16:27:00.000+08:00

Smoke and nicotine celebrities –

I have come across over a couple of things about celebrities smoking cigarettes that can be categorized neither as absurd nor as strange.

There are celebrities, especially movie stars, that smokes on screen like they are addicted but aren’t in actual place.
Smoking celebrities, sometimes sports stars, endorse cigarettes very rarely, if ever; but they are declared smokers in their private lives with some needing to have a drag in between shots.
Celebrities raising their voices in support of smoking cessation movements of course draw big attention but are rarely taken seriously.
Celebrity smoking influences adolescents to follow suit.
Celebrities of the bygone era have remote chances of having picked up the habit watching their heroes.

The brands they smoke, cheap Marlboro cigarettes, Camel, Winston, Virginia Slims, Salem etc, become a point of campus discussion.
There are two prominent websites dedicated to smoking celebrities; rather one is a yahoo group. The website I stumbled upon is on female celebrities who chain smoke on screen. You get a blow by blow account of ‘when and what’ they smoke and in which movie!

Can you afford 40-60 Marlboro cigarettes a day if you don’t buy them from a tax free online store or a discount sale?
Cheap cigarettes at discount price may be an option but is it a license to smoke more?
Many celebrities only smoke socially; they just don’t like to be left out because they don’t smoke.
Celebrities can easily afford high cost healthcare, just in case.

Neither cheap discount cigarettes of reputed brands nor generics bought at cheap price tobacco shop can be castigated as being cheap quality. Cheap Marlboro cigarettes, however guaranteed they are, are not your insurance to smoke more. The bottom line is here: celebrity endorsement or not, cheap or not, cigarettes are always known to give smokers a momentary relief but a long time trouble.

How Stop Smoking Hypnosis Works

2007-06-28T16:23:00.000+08:00

Smoke and nicotine hypnosis –

Stop smoking hypnosis can be a powerful tool to use for fighting the urges that go along with quitting this addiction.
Since smoking itself is both a physical and psychological addiction, extra help, such as that provided by stop smoking hypnosis, can be very valuable. Stop smoking hypnosis can help because it has the potential to address or at least assist with both forms of the addiction.
While we've all heard about people chewing gum, eating carrot sticks or even gnawing on pencils, actually having the inner resolve to do this rather than smoke is where stop smoking hiypnosis can come in and help. On the physical front, stop smoking hypnosis can also be quite beneficial. While it is not likely stop smoking hypnosis will completely remove withdrawal symptoms, it can lessen their impacts. Getting through them, without or without the help of stop smoking hypnosis, is the first major milestone for most people who desire to be smoke free.
The stronger their resolve, the more stop smoking hypnosis is likely to help. Quitting smoking is not an easy undertaking. Stop smoking hypnosis is one option many have tried and succeeded in using. By helping with both physical withdrawal and psychological attachments to the habit, stop smoking hypnosis is a good option for many to try.

The Easy Way to Quit Smoking

2007-05-30T16:00:00.000+08:00

Easy way

Smoke easy way

The question on every smoker's yellowing lip will always be "Is there an easy way to quit smoking?" There are millions of smokers who can testify that they packed in a long-term habit overnight, and never desired another cigarette again. The answer is simple: if you wish to quit smoking easily, then you need to change your mindset. After years of smoking, your brain will be configured to believe that smoking is an integral part of you. The smoking habit is not the nicotine habit - it is the psychologically addictive habit.

The easy way to quit smoking is to shake up the beliefs you associate with smoking. Smoking breeds irrational, emotional attachments, and it is those attachments which you have to perceive in a different way. No smoker is going to argue that smoking is good for their health, but many will claim that a cigarette helps them relax. Compare smoking to a girlfriend or boyfriend, if you will, because that's the level of emotional attachment most smokers will feel towards the habit. Start assessing how you feel about smoking and make a list of all the positives you feel smoking brings to your life. Before you started smoking you never had any need for these positives, so ask why you need them now.

Reality

Smoke quit

Quitting smoking is an art. Making quitting a reality is not far once you earn a strong and sincere will to stop smoking.

I will share a real story of one of my close friends who at last succeeded to cease cigarette smoking. Often he used to argue, If everybody quits smoking. what will happen to the tobacco industry? Millions of employees will be retrenched! Why do you want to quit smoking? After hearing him, I analyzed his situation. Perhaps numerous smokers all over the word who smoke have common reasons for smoking and quitting.

Do not get frustrated and desperate should be the number one rule in your efforts to quit smoking because nicotine is a very powerful enemy and after years of smoking it gets deeply entrenched in your blood cells. Be ready to face and tackle dizziness, depression, irritation, frustration, anger, headache, restlessness, trouble in reading and concentration. But your efforts to quit smoking, is worth its weight in gold. For apart from the attack you had, you have suffered enough on account of nasal irritation, running nose, watery eyes, sneezing, throat irritation, coughing and much more.
So you have a brilliant thought within you to quit smoking!
Have a happy ending to your quit-smoking resolution which is going to become a reality this time, hopefully.

The Benefits of Quitting Smoking

2007-05-30T15:33:00.000+08:00

Benefits

Smoke benefits

There are many health benefits to be gained from quitting smoking. If you're a smoker, you undoubtedly know this. The health benefits of quitting smoking are widely available for view on just about any anti-smoking site. What these sites often fail to cover is the real, practical benefits of quitting smoking. As a former smoker myself, I shall explain in this article how a cessation of smoking pragmatically improved my life.

The major problem that quitting smoking fixed up for me was my awful habit of procrastinating. After packing in cigarettes, my lung capabilities returned and my energy levels soared. This domino effect continued, as the self-esteem and confidence saw me winning the attention of the opposite sex, as well as improving my networking capabilities with colleagues in my work industry.

One of the major benefits of quitting smoking is actually seeing money appear in your wallet again. Finally, there was the sheer liberation from the fear that cigarettes generated. I no longer felt panicked about being down to my last couple of cigarettes. This experience was like having a 200 lbs weight lifted from my shoulders, and is easily one of the greatest benefits of quitting smoking.

Quitting smoking gives you release, a liberation and the restoration of many fabulous physical and mental facilities.

Smoking and Public Speaking

2007-05-30T15:32:00.000+08:00

Public speaking

Smoke speaking

Maybe having a quick smoke will ease your nerves about giving the speech a little. The cigarette will get you calm at least until you are forced to look at everyone's faces. You practiced your pitch and your tone of voice. The speech is completely laid out beforehand. You croak instead of speaking that fantastically catchy opening line that you've been practicing. Smoking dries out your throat, which makes it difficult for people to speak. Maybe people make fun of the way your voice is always creaking and croaking. Smokers also have to worry about the smoker's laugh. This is when your overworked lungs press out a cough instead of a laugh. Maybe you're on a date and they just told you a great joke. Or maybe your obnoxious boss just told you a horrible joke. No matter what the situation is, your laugh is going to come out more like a hoarse little cough than a genuine laugh. You begin coughing and your face turns red. Your eyes begin to tear up. Now instead of sharing a joke your date is patting you mercilessly on the back and asking if you're okay. Our voice is the major way in which we communicate with other people.

The NicoCure quit smoking

Nico cure

Smoke nicocure

There are a great many quit smoking programs, products, and techniques available, one of them being the NicoCure quit smoking patch. An ideal quit smoking product would be all natural with no dangerous drugs, does not use nicotine substitutes, has a high success ratio, and controls the dreaded nicotine withdrawal symptoms. NicoCure claims that it does all these things and this article looks at the validity of these claims and investigates whether the NicoCure quit smoking patch really does help people quit smoking.

The manufacturer of NicoCure also makes an interesting claim that if a smoker lights up while wearing the patch, the Lobelia extract will interact with the tobacco and make the taste extremely unpleasant giving further incentive to quit smoking. Being an all natural herbal extract, the NicoCure patch does not contain any nicotine.

Many quit smoking cures rely on nicotine replacement to curb the smokers cravings while trying to quit and to many people this philosophy may appear ludicrous. Many smokers who use some type of nicotine replacement therapy often fail to quit mainly because while they may quit the smoking habit for awhile, they never break the powerful nicotine addiction. It is even said that some people who do manage to quit smoking remain addicted to the cure and cant quit using the gum or nicotine patches.

The NicoCure team says that the quit smoking patch was extensively researched and tested for 10 years and claims a quit smoking success rate of 97% compared to around 20% for nicotine replacement programs. NicoCure claims that there is nothing similar to its quit smoking patch available on the market today. As with most quit smoking programs and products, NicoCure makes claims that may seem too good to be true.

Quit smoking

Smoke quit

Big pharmaceutical companies from all over the world have entered a close race to find the wonder new quit smoking pill, that could make nicotine addiction as treatable as acid ulcer, high blood pressure or erectile dysfunctions.

Very popular and supposedly efficient quit smoking pills are some anti-depressives. This new quit smoking pill is nicotine free, it gives no addiction, and its efficiency shows in the smoker's increased capacity of fighting cessation symptoms. Zyban acts on the brain to nullify your craving for nicotine. Though a very advanced new quit smoking pill, it still has some side effects, like headaches, stomachaches, dizziness and even increased blood pressure when used in association with nicotine patches.

Another very effective new quit smoking pill is Varenicline Tartrate, a drug that works differently from the other nicotine based quit smoking pills. When under treatment with this new quit smoking pill, the smoker feels no pleasure in smoking. Acomplia targets precisely the blockage of this reward system, which will make smoking dissatisfying.

The most probable of results is that doctors will keep inventing new quit smoking pills, but none will be able to cure nicotine addiction 100 percent. No new quit smoking pill can cure the two sides of an addiction, the physical and the psychological.

Smoke hypnosis

Everyone could use a little healthier life style. With all the junk food, fast food and eating on the run, health is deteriorating. To top it off many people smoke and partake of other non-healthy habits.

Years ago doctors told individuals that cigarettes could be used to calm nerves, help lose weight and just generally help with anxiety. It has only been recently that the surgeon general has begun cracking down on cigarette manufacturers and doctors have started suggesting the cessation of smoking immediately.

There are several different types of hypnosis, one of the most effective is stop smoking hypnosis. The hypnosis session is aimed at changing the internal scripting that allows the unconscious to give the feeling of need for cigarettes.

Quit smoking hypnosis is the same but may focus more on the behaviors that precede or follow having a cigarette. For example, if the smoker has developed a habit that they smoke each time they are in the car, eventually this becomes a habit. Quit smoking hypnotism can help the smoker find another way to cope with not having a cigarette in the car.

1) A Thousand Mile Journey Begins With A Single Step

Millions of people have broken the chain of nicotine addiction and there's no reason why you can't become one of them.
And finally, there are several different methods to help you stop smoking, but the same one won't help everybody. The most important thing is that you decide to quit smoking and take action. If you've got an all-or-nothing type personality it may be best to stop altogether. But if you can't even contemplate doing that, start to cut down gradually. Intention without action is a waste of time.

2) Be Aware Of Your Behaviour

Smoking is a psychological habit. Over time you've trained yourself to smoke at certain times and in certain situations such as first thing in the morning, last thing at night, after meals, at parties, when you're stressed etc.
So it's important to remain consciously aware of your actions at all times. Work out the times when you have a strong subconscious desire to smoke and take steps to avoid lighting up.
Otherwise, you'll find yourself smoking before you're even aware of it. Of course if you've decided to stop completely, the situation isn't as dangerous as you can remove all cigarettes from your life. However, it is harder if you decide to cut down gradually, live with someone else who smokes or have easy access to cigarettes.
Learn to catch yourself before the desire to smoke grows stronger.
