I'm immensely delighted you are at this point in your quit smoking efforts. Here are few of my own tested tips to fight cravings. Stick to these if it works for you.



Now lets dive straight in. If you are at your initial quitting days then from day 2 or 3 cravings will peak, so here are my do follow tips to you.



1. Instead of buying regular cigarette pack for yourself, buy a chewing gum pack or few lollipops (I'm serious). Keep it in the same place as your cigarette pack and use it when your hand reaches out for quick smoke.



2. Go for a brisk walk. But refrain yourself from stores and supermarkets (you know why)



3. The day I called it quits, I made sure to start a hobby for myself such as scrap-booking, gardening, reading books. Think of some hidden talent or interest and include it in your lifestyle.



4. It would not be a bad idea to join a gym and stop by for a quick workout when a major craving hits.



5. Try brushing your teeth, taking shower or wash your hands. The active part where we feel craving is our mouth, so it is always better to shunt it through these activities.



6. Maintain a quit smoking notepad for yourself. Write down the reasons why you want to quit smoking and the reason you want to live a long and healthy life. Add a note about your extent of craving too.



7. Special reward for oneself: When your fight with craving ends up well, make sure you treat yourself. Go out for a movie, shopping or whatever you like. It makes you jolly and reduces your reluctance for craving.



8. Stay away from smoker friends (only when they smoke). My smoking actually doubled and during my quitting days I was tempted to try out occasional puffs due to this factor. Try to find non-smoker group or friends that respect and support your efforts. Quitting thing is purely mental and the surrounding of positive people will actually encourage you to pursue quitting.



9. There is a theory that when craving happens you can actually smoke one or two cigarettes a day and then gradually shunt it. You'll hear this all the time. My advice is do not follow it. I've done this myself and this reduces your will power to fight craving. It starts with one cigarette a day then would increase to two cigarettes, then three and it'll never end.



10. One of the drawbacks of quitting or effect of craving is that it'll make you irritable. It is hard to recognize your own irritation but to avoid this behavior try engaging yourself to activities you like as much as possible. Play Scrabble, read books, go to gym or do gardening. Make sure you only do things you like during this time.

Although many people attempt to quit smoking cold turkey, many others try to quit more gradually by slowly decreasing the number of cigarettes they smoke each day. This is known as tapering off. It has the same result as quitting cold turkey, but it is done at your own pace.



You are in control, and you gauge the speed at which you give up smoking.



Like quitting smoking cold turkey, the tapering off method is free, and it can be done without a prescription drug or any other aid. The fact that it's a gradual method appeals to many, as it allows more time to adjust to a life without cigarettes both physically and emotionally.



Like quitting smoking cold turkey, tapering off involves picking a quit date. However, in this case, you can set up a schedule for how many cigarettes you will smoke each day prior to your quite date. Follow that schedule, and gradually decrease your cigarette use. Once you reach your quit date, you will hopefully no longer be a smoker.



This method for quitting smoking is based on the idea that it is much easier to slowly wean off smoking than it is to quit abruptly. By gradually decreasing the number of cigarettes you smoke every day, you make the withdrawal symptoms less severe and much easier to endure.



The nicotine in cigarettes provides enjoyment to the smoker by increasing dopamine levels in the brain. But nicotine does more than produce feelings of pleasure- it creates an enforces an addiction that causes your brain to punish you when you stop smoking. So as long as you continue smoking and letting nicotine in, the feelings of enjoyment continue. But when that supply of nicotine is severed, you naturally experience irritability, frustrating, anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia, to name a few.



As expected, when the supply of cigarettes is severed all at once, the withdrawal symptoms can get pretty bad - though the intensity of the symptoms varies from person to person. Some people feel more comfortable tapering off to quit smoking, while others can quit cold turkey. Usually more people are more comfortable quitting gradually, allowing the brain to become used to decreased amounts of nicotine.



Generally, this results in relatively milder withdrawal symptoms that continue to decrease in severity until they disappear altogether. The tapering off method also gives the smoker more time to mentally say good-bye to smoking and make the adjustments necessary towards a smoke-free lifestyle.



There's no special formula for tapering off- the schedule you choose is up to you, and will be based on the number of cigarettes you smoke now on a daily basis. For example, let's say that you now smoke twenty cigarettes a day or a pack a day. You may want to choose a schedule in which you smoke twenty cigarettes on day one, nineteen on day two, eighteen on day three, seventeen on day four, and so on- decreasing the number of cigarettes you smoke by one every day.



The schedule is entirely up to you and how comfortable you are quitting smoking at a particular pace. Maybe you'll decrease the number of cigarettes you smoke by 1 every other day, every three days, or even every week.



One of the most effective methods you can choose in order to quit smoking for good is the stop smoking shot. Scientists developed the stop smoking shot primarily to lessen the severity of the terrible withdrawal symptoms that keep the majority of smokers from being able to quit.

Smoking is one habit that is the hardest ever to quit. Many people have tried over and over again to quit cigarettes once and for all. However, without help, many smokers effort to stop are fruitless and frustrating. Before giving up completely, you should first try Smoke Deter.



The addiction to nicotine has been compared to the addiction to heroin. In fact, some people have gotten off drugs like heroin but still retain their smoking habit. The reason quitting is so hard is because a part of your brain has become addicted to smoking as well.



There are neurotransmitters in your brain that are sending messages to various parts of the body and of the brain for body functions to carry on normally. The one that send pleasure signals and control many emotions is dopamine.



When you smoke, the chemical dopamine sends out good messages to its receptors in other parts of the brain. When you do not have nicotine for a while, you will notice the side effects that dopamine is sending unhappy message instead of one of great pleasure. Some of the immediate effects are also the first kind of withdrawal symptoms you start to feel when you try to quit.



Depression, anger, anxiety, and extreme nervousness are a few of the withdrawal symptoms you might have when you stop smoking. These symptoms may lead into others like body aches and pain. These are the reasons many people just simply light back up. Being able to avoid these intense kinds of withdrawal symptoms is worth risking the side effects of smoking for many people.

If you are able to heal without those prescribed drug side effects, your body is going to have a better chance at healing the smoking damage. When there is too much damage to deal with from both smoking and drug side effects, your body will go under too much stress. Add this on top of the withdrawal symptoms of not smoking and you have recipe for certain disaster.

As the world is gearing up to ban smoking, it would not be long when smokers will be shuns wherever they go. Most of the states in the United States have already adopted the anti-smoking law, and so have Canada, most of the European countries, few Asian and African countries. Further, smoking in the confine of home is also forbidden by many families now. This is a drive to make world a more livable place and protect people against second hand smoke, the killer.



Whether you want it or not, it would not be long when smokers become the ostracized group. This seems like a harsh and unfair prediction but if you take the time to see the mortality rate due to active and passive smoking the possibility is heavy. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. Every year thousands of people die due to cancer of Lungs, Throat, Urinary tract, Sex organs, Women's fertility zone, Digestive organs, Bones and joints etc and also many diseases of the Heart, Eyes, Skin and Male fertility.



Though death due to passive smoking are comparatively lower than active smoking, it is not something which we cannot snub out as the exposure to second hand smoke can lead to serious health complications, even death which could otherwise be avoided. The immediate effects of second hand smoke include dizziness, eye irritation, cough, headache, sore throat, and nausea. Non-smokers who are exposed to second hand at the confine of homes have 25% chances of suffering from lung cancer and heart diseases. Children have a high risk of suffering from Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Bronchiolitis and Asthma if exposed to second hand smoke.



Further, exposure to passive smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage and causes low birth weight. If a pregnant women smokes, she increases her risk of suffering premature delivery, miscarriage, stillbirth, placenta abnormalities and to her baby, she increases the risk of low birth weight, sudden infant death syndrome, abnormal lung development, pre-maturity, long term growth retardation etc.



Therefore, before you become a social outcast and cause any further harm to people living around you and yourself, consider staying smoke free. Do quit smoking today before you are being shunned by the world, let alone your loved ones. Addictions are never hard to quit, so is cigarette. However, you need to balance the cause and effect of your smoking and I do hope you will be able to come to a resolution to lead a quality life and longer life expectancy not only for you but for your loved ones whose life you have been shortening everyday with your bad habit.



If you are worried about the withdrawal syndrome, let your worries rest in peace as the new drug by Pfizer Chantix is there to overcome your craving and lessen the withdrawal syndromes. It is neither a nicotine replacement nor addictive drug, but an effective drug which works in the brain like nicotine without harming your health, through which you will gradually be able to kick off that harmful butt for good. Also make sure to consult a doctor for the right dosage before buy chantix or order chantix online.

Cigarette smoke is very dangerous. Whether you smoke first hand or are near second hand smoke, it all has negative effects on the body. Countless different researchers have confirmed the terrible effects that smoking has on your well-being, and especially on the bodies of people who have smoked for a long time. Smoking bans are now in effect in many nations across the world. What more do you have to be aware of in order to stop? For one, the addiction is very expensive, will ruin your teeth, and makes your clothes smell terrible. And don't disregard the atrocious breath! Here are a few ideas to help you quit smoking.



First, you need to find out why you smoke. Is anxiety a trigger for you to light up? Is having a smoke with your coffee or an alcoholic drink often mandatory for you? Identifying precisely what compels you to smoke is enormously effective in shaping a course of action to steer away from cigarettes.



Next, you will need to think of how to manage your cravings. You can try to merely tell yourself not to light up, but that usually doesn't work. Cigarette withdrawal can generate incredibly intense urges and may even cause you to be angry. If you smoke while you down coffee, a possible solution is to reduce the quantity of cups you consume each day. For outside-only smokers, you need to try to stay put inside if you feel an urge for a cigarette coming on.



The third step might be the easiest. Clear any item you have that is associated to smoking away from your home, car and office. Throw away the packs of smokes, lighters, and ashtrays. You must keep in mind that any article related to smoking that is not trashed can prompt a craving, and cause you to be unsuccessful in your bid to stop smoking.



As a final point, keep focused on your purpose! Wouldn't it feel impressive to show people you stopped?
