Some smokers trying to quit the habit are criticized for trying the various quit smoking aids that are available these days. It's inferred that their willpower is weak because they can't quit smoking cold turkey. But that's rather like saying one diet suit all people, which we know is not true.



It's a well known fact that a dietitian will formulate different diets for different body types and metabolism's, so why should the rules for those trying to quit smoking be any different, well they shouldn't. It's great when we hear a smoker has quit cold turkey, it's quite an achievement when you consider the addictive nature of nicotine. But what's more important, how you quit or the end result, of course it's the end result that counts. So if three different smokers use three different methods then who cares, they are all winners.



It's probably true that going cold turkey is a quicker way to beating the smoking habit, due to the fact that the nicotine remains in your system for a shorter time following quitting. Many of the quit smoking aids are designed to replace the cigarettes with a patch, pills or nasal spray but still supply the body with small doses of nicotine to reduce the withdrawal symptoms. What this does it is allow the smokers to come to terms with no cigarettes but retain a smaller, reducing dose of nicotine until the body no longer graves it.



Obviously deciding whether you need a stop smoking aid is a personal decision, as is which particular one you choose to use. As for which one is the best, well that's easy, it's the one that suits and works for YOU. Sure it's ok to ask around to see what has worked for others, but as we are all different with different mind sets and different levels of natural willpower, it will always come back to a certain amount of trial and error.



You will find that hypnosis will work wonders for some smokers, a couple of sessions and they will never smoke again, for others it has absolutely no effect at all. Some smokers experience side effects from quit smoking pills prescribed by their physician, whilst other say they are brilliant. Herbal pills are another choice that many ex-smokers claim to be the best of the lot, as they have no side effects due to their natural ingredients, work like a charm and don't continue to add nicotine to your system.



There are the patches, the sprays, the pills, lazar and so it goes on, it doesn't matter, it's really all about the end result, not how you get there. So keep an open mind, if one method fails, try another, refuse to be defeated in your quit smoking goal, because at the end of the day, what ever the cost it will be way cheaper than the loss of your health.

Today, most of us want to quit smoking than ever. There is a good reason for this-we are soon to find out, sucks. Of course it's not "cool", it feels really bad long-term-to be honest-we might think die ways certainly better.



It is still the most popular way to get it going ' cold Turkey '. The name may not mean, that way you leave cigarettes, take you expel him and no longer buy. That's right-just stop. No help, no stains, no. The chances of success? Statistically, the 3%. However, it strongly depends on the person, and there are several ways that we can improve our chance without drugs or supplements.



Improve your chances of successfully Quiting cold Turkey



Problem: in the long run for each smoker is the most powerful force behind our is looking for a mental habit. This means that our mind has learned that depends on the ' feeling ' is a smoke at us. Generally, this is a form of distraction.



Solution: we can enhance our ability to cold-Turkey are the first way thus identifying things that we (trigger) and wants to stop smoking. This could hang all food & beverage, to go to the bar or a roomful of friends smoking. Write in a journal and will help you learn how good your memory is more efficient-it doesn't matter.



Problem: the next stronger cigarette force trying to chemical dependency. Our body learns, organize the nicotine (and other chemicals in the FAG) feels good. We are careful to do this and start cravings. These usually have a 40 minutes, with most smokers cyclo gives way after an hour.



This poses as an obstacle, if we try to stop. Why? Withdrawal symptoms as they seem to suck more than smoking. The list goes on great restlessness, insomnia, nausea, headaches, lethargy. Hereby, the weak point of quitting cold Turkey be. There was nothing that could be done without drugs or supplements.



Solution: now we know how ' mind tools ' how to use NLP to invert our bodies respond to nicotine withdrawal. You can adjust literally ' programs ' stimulus and perception of pain in your brain to aid digestion, nervous system installation. This incredible new knowledge is cheap to buy and easy to use, most of the time that you are currently reading or Listening. Statistically speaking, has a much higher efficacy rate than cold Turkey or even NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) alone.



Conventionally, the average smoker about 7 attempts to take, before it finally quit. The combination of cold Turkey style with modern psychology knows, however, we can greatly speed up the process and suffer.



Thought that it all starts with a strong belief in yourself – the only one that still freely accessible for you!

California has often been termed the land of fruits and nuts, but I think they may have stumbled across a good idea that may revolutionize the way the rest of the country views the left coast. An article in the Sacramento Bee discusses the idea of requiring insurance companies to cover 100% of the cost of any stop smoking medication approved by the FDA. This would include Zyban, Chantix and any of the nicotine replacement therapies that require a prescription.



Well, what does this do. It would force the insurance companies to pick up the copayment and/or deductible for countless smokers who may be hesitating to quit due to the cost. And because they live in California, I can see where they'd want to potentially spend that extra money on things like food or rent. Now, common sense, tells everyone that if they are really worried about pinching pennies, then they shouldn't be smoking in the first place. After all, a pack of cigarettes can cost on average $5 per day or more, depending on the addiction. Putting that aside though, I wonder if that many people will really decide to stop smoking as a result of the legislation? Will saving some money, really cause the smoker extra motivation to stop smoking? I really don't know the answer to that question.



But, I believe the senators are on the right track. Please don't quote me on that, because I can't believe I just said it myself. Regardless, it is true. Smoking currently costs the US over $190 Billion. About 20% of all US citizens smoke and just under 500,000 people die because of smoking related illnesses. Those are sobering statistics and represent a significant cost to Medicare (our tax dollars), private insurance (our premiums), and local communities resources (our local taxes).



Imagine what impact we could have if smoking decreased by 10% across the nation? What would that do for our premiums and medicare taxes? Think of it, 10% reduction in lung cancer, COPD (emphysema), cardiovascular disease - the Big 3 related to smoking. That would actually reduce the risk and thus, reduce the cost associated with the risk.



By my math, that would more than pay for the intensive care unit admissions, chemotherapy and other related healthcare expenses associated with smoking that insurers currently have to dole out each day across the country.



But again, will the California smokers take advantage of this prospect if it gets signed into law? That is the big question. However, insurers should not balk at this idea as it really is a win-win for them. For those who take advantage of the law, they'll have a greater chance of quitting smoking. For those that don't, well, the insurer isn't out any extra money.



So, it seems like a no brainer. This also should satisfy liberals and conservatives, because the liberal should like the government telling big pharma what to do, and the conservative should like the government giving the little guy a chance to overcome his challenging situations.

Are you aware that a survey by Centers for Disease Prevention and Control has revealed that the maximum number of deaths every year is caused due to smoking as compared to deaths due to road accidents, murders, AIDS, drugs and alcohol? Yes smoking has emerged as the gravest reason leading people to rest in graveyards. Smoking acts like poison slowly taking you towards death bed. Most people realize the ill effects of smoking but yet find it extremely difficult to put an end to the habit of smoking. Thus to prevent smoking people have to resort to stop smoking aids easily available in markets today.



Realizing the severe effects of smoking, various organizations exhibit campaigns against smoking, preach on various natural ways like picking up a sport, keeping the mind busy in work, avoiding passive smoking and leading a healthy lifestyle. However, any persuasion or motivation is ineffective until and unless the individual decides to put an end to this habit. Along with self motivation, following are few of the stop smoking aids available in the markets:



Nicotine Replacement Therapies



Commonly known as NRTs, these are available in various forms. For e.g. Nicotine patches which can be applied on the body once in a day and the dosage can be reduced as and when the urge for nicotine slows down. Also there is the nicotine gum which can be purchased without a prescription from a pharmacy and is available in different flavors. Nicorette is a well known type of nicotine gum. There is also the Nicotine Inhaler and nicotine nasal spray which can be sprayed in the nostril when one feels the need to smoke. It may have some side effects and hence doctor's consultation is necessary before using it. One more stop smoking aid of NRT is the nicotine lozenge which is a tablet available in fruit flavors. The tablet can be used for 20-30 min and helps satisfy the desire for nicotine. All these aids definitely have a few side effects like feeling of nausea and congestion, vomiting, sore throat, ulcers, dizziness etc. These stop smoking aids definitely help in the attempt to stop smoking.



Varenicline



Commonly known as Chantix or Champix, this is also a prescribed drug in a tablet form which works in a special way by blocking the receptors of nicotine in the brain and thus the person does anger, aggressiveness. One of the other severe side effects is an attempt to suicide. Many people have felt like attempting a suicide while using this drug. Also patients with kidney and cardiovascular diseases and pregnant and breast feeding ladies should not resort to using Varenicline.



Besides these there are herbal medicines and various motivation and hypnosis videos which also act as stop smoking aids. Quit For Sure is a well known name among few hypnosis videos available in the markets. There are also Herbal teas, smoker's herbal aromas etc that add as stop smoking aids. There is also non-tobacco cigarettes which can help as a replacement for the cigarette that you want to hold in your hand. All these aids may definitely act as a help to the wish to quit smoking. However, constant love and support of family and friends and of course the individual's own will power and self motivation is the key to the termination of this habit.

It may seem like a silly question, but the best quit smoking aids are the ones that actually help you to stop. The problem begins when you see the hundreds of different systems, pills, patches, and drugs available on the internet.How do you know which one will work for you?



Well the reality is that you don't know which one will work until you try it. Sure, you can read the testimonials ringing around the internet from people who swear by these different methods to quit smoking, but let's be honest here, do you seriously think that any company or person would put any bad testimonials out to promote their product or system?



Patches are the choice of many smokers, and is actively endorsed by many governments and there is scientific evidence to back it up.This is known as nicotine replacement therapy and the idea is that you can gradually wean yourself of f nicotine by reducing your consumption. I have tried these patches myself on one of my many previous attempts to quit.The only thing they did for me was to create very itchy red marks all over my arms and legs. It got so bad i had to stop using them after 7 days. I was back to square one again.



Another quit smoking aid is nicotine gum. Again it follows the same principle as patches. The problem is that it tastes awful. Some people have used acupuncture to quit smoking. By exploring the bodies pressure points, it is claimed that acupuncture can help you stop smoking. I have never tried this method, but there are people out there that claim it helped them.



Some people have used laser therapy to quit smoking. The idea is that a laser is aimed at various pressure points on the ears, face, body, hands and wrists. Low level and cold lasers are used as these are deemed to be the safest type of laser to use. Some companies offering this treatment claim a success rate of between 60% to 90%. This could be an option for you, but i am not too sure of it myself, the idea of shooting a laser into your body seems a bit strange.



People use hypnosis to quit smoking. The idea is to remove the psychological dependence that smoking causes. It can be quite expensive and you certainly need to careful who you choose. A recommendation is crucial here, and do your homework first before you try this method.



If you want to stop smoking there is a vast array of ways to help you. Read up on these methods, try to get some recommendations, or even better, visit the many quit smoking forums on the internet and see what real people are saying.

Questo è certamente una scelta difficile, poiché ci sono così tanti prodotti disponibili che dire che sono i migliori. Essi non possono essere tutti grandi o non ci sarebbe stato come molti fumatori che sono alla ricerca di modi uscire.



Quindi, Qual è il metodo da utilizzare per trovare il best stop smoking aids? Questo sta a dipendere la persona che ha fatto la loro mente a smettere.

When a friend of mine moved from a South-American country in Canada, announced that within one month, "cigarettes are just too expensive here! I am quitting smoking. " I thought, "How it's going to last, which is accustomed to a pack a day!" My mistake. It has been three years now and he hasn't touched a cigarette since and says not to lose or not feel no desire.



Not everyone is so fortunate. About eighty percent of people who stop smoking start again within a year. It looks depressing, but many of these people feel reassured that they were able to stop, it's just for a few months and try again soon. Most smokers need up to four tries before they can kick the habit for good.



Some doctors or people who consider themselves experts smokers argue that external aid is not necessary to exit. These experts, who sometimes believe they know it all because they used to smoke themselves, forgetting that every person is different. Some people may come out purely on a strong will, but many are in need of support, be it physical or psychological, nicotine replacement therapy.



What do nicotine replacement is to provide the body with nicotine without consuming the other poisonous chemical contained in cigarettes. Therefore, the person does not have to do with physical withdrawal symptoms that can occur during the process of quitting. Let us not forget that nicotine is a drug, actually is one of the most engaging. Will get you on the hook really velocito. Therefore, when the body gets rid of accumulated toxins from smoking, you will experience withdrawal symptoms as with any other drug, although the symptoms themselves will vary.



Some of the most common withdrawal symptoms are headache, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion and sore throat. These last few days to a week, but if bother you much, take this medicine to counter them. Some other symptoms include insomnia, irritability and fatigue. These are direct results of chemicals leaving your body and should last between one and three weeks.



If you look on the internet, there is an almost infinite number of products that (presumably) will help you to quit smoking. Aids are still most widely used nicotine gum as Nicorette and NicoDerm patch, as. The gums to provide your body with nicotine to help control the cravings. As the weeks passed, lowering the dose of nicotine until your body is gradually weaned off nicotine. The estimated time for this operation is about 12 weeks.



With the patch, this is the same process. The membrane that is next to your skin releases nicotine in your system. As with Nicorette, you may start with a stronger dose and gradually reduce. It takes about the same time as Nicorette.



I would like to remind you that you have a greater chance of success if you use help with some kind of support system. For some it is enough to be reading self-help books to smoke, but others need support groups. With modern technology, you can find many of these online too, in chat rooms.



If you're not blessed with an iron will and determination, but would like to kick the habit, don't be afraid to go with some form of nicotine replacement therapy. After all, what have you got to lose?
