Quitting smoking could definitely change your life! Non smokers have a significantly lower chance of getting dozens of smoking related diseases such as lung cancer and heart disease. They also save money by not purchasing cigarettes and pay lower insurance premiums. With all the different products on the market, a smoker could become very confused about which way to turn. Do I try to stop Cold Turkey? Do I take anti smoking drugs? Do I use the patch? Which method will have the least withdrawal symptoms? Some ex smokers will tell you that there is no right way to quit as long as you quit. Although this may be true, it is important to consider the effectiveness of certain products. Here are reasons to quit smoking naturally:



Anti smoking drugs can cause side effects. Chantix is a popular prescription medication (usually in the form of varenicline tartrate) that is used to help treat addiction to smoking. The drug is approved for 12 weeks use and is not for individuals under 18 or pregnant. The stunning part about this medication is that side effects may include nausea, headache, insomnia and abnormal dreams. The rare side effects include change in taste, vomiting, flatulence and constipation.



In 2007, FDA had announced (from post marketing reports) that patients using Chantix for smoking cessation experienced suicidal ideation and occasional suicidal and erratic behavior. On February 4th 2009, Health Canada had reported that it received 800 complaints about the medication related to mood swings, depression and suicidal thoughts.



Nicotine replacements may not work and can only prolong the addiction. A man by the name of Allen Carr had quit smoking after 30 years and tried to convince people on national television to accomplish the same. He claims that smokers experience withdrawal symptoms throughout their entire smoking life and is the only reason they light the next cigarette.When speaking of nicotine, Carr questions how people can cure their addiction to a drug by taking the same drug they are addicted to. By changing your attitude about smoking, Carr believes you can eliminate this filthy habit.



It is inexpensive to quit smoking naturally compared to purchasing anti smoking drugs and nicotine replacements. The good thing is that your body will stop the intake of nicotine and you will not risk yourself to some harmful side effects. Some popular methods include cold turkey, hypnosis, acupuncture, lung detox and stop smoking programs. Anyone who has succeeded with any one of these natural ways to quit smoking would strongly stand by that method. However, it is important to research each method to see if it is right for you.



Quitting smoking naturally is possible for everyone regardless of how long a person has smoked. Your attitude is very important and being patient is the key. Stay positive and imagine how your lifestyle has or will change. People who have quit have reported more money for a mortgage payment, car payment, entertainment and holidays. The risk of all diseases caused by smoking is reduced and energy levels should improve.
