There are those who claim to have given up smoking all in one day without going through side-effects or having a difficult time saying "no" to another cigarette. I don't care what they say - if they quit that easily and then they were not addicted in the first place. Cigarette addiction is one of the strongest addictions a person can have and while it does not cause aggression and abuse, it can cause premature death. There are several reasons to stop smoking (health, life, family..), but there are not any good reasons to continue to smoke. If you smoke, then quitting is the smartest thing you can do to get healthy.



1. Quitting smoking is not going to be easy. If you are truly addicted, it will be one of the hardest things you have ever done. If you go into your stop smoking plan with the idea that it will be a breeze, you won't be ready to withstand the withdrawal symptoms that inevitably ensue. Be prepared for it to be difficult! This will be a battle but if you prepare yourself, you will win it.



2. You cannot hang around with smokers while they are smoking; especially when you have just begun your journey to being smoke-free. The constant breathing of smoke from others cigarettes will make you feels that you must have one as well. Even if you can withstand the craving, it just seems silly to put yourself through it. Walk away when people light up and do not let them smoke in your home or your vehicle.



3. The plan that works best for you may not be the plan that worked for your neighbor. Every one of us responds differently to certain conditions. By all means, try your neighbors idea, but do not assume you can't quit because what they did does not work well for you. When one avenue fails, try another. Some people respond well to hypnosis while others don't. Some are able to replace cigarettes with exercise. Some require a nicotine patch, gum or inhaler. Some must throw their cigarettes out and call it quits immediately while others do better by quitting in steps. Then there are those who choose to combine a few different strategies in their program for quitting smoking. Don't quit quitting.



The most important thing you need to know to quit smoking is that you CAN quit smoking. Be smart about quitting and eventually you will succeed.

Do you want to stop smoking cannabis but aren't sure how or even where to begin?  You aren't alone.  People who become addicted to cannabis have many obstacles to overcome when they get ready to stop.  Here are three tips to help you on your way.



Take it one day at a time.



Don't get ahead of yourself.  I know you want to get through a week without smoking, but you need to get through a day first.  So everyday when you wake up, your goal needs to be to go the entire day without smoking marijuana.  Then repeat this process the next day.  Once you make it through a couple of weeks you can begin to set weekly goals and move forward from there.  If you don't start small you may never make it through your first week.   Remember the first week is the hardest because of the withdrawal symptoms.



Tell Other People That You Are Quitting.



Let your friends or anyone else who knows you smoke that you plan to quit.  This will let them know to avoid talking about it and doing it in front of you.  This is crucial.  One of the main causes of relapse in marijuana users is that their friends provide temptation.  Telling them not to do it around you and asking them to support your decision can make it much easier to stop smoking cannabis.  It helps to have people on your side, and catch you when you fall down.  Subconsciously,  you are preparing yourself stop.  You are also more likely to quit the more you talk about quitting and envision yourself as some who will stop smoking cannabis.



Be prepared



Before you ever quit, take the time to think of the possible situations that you are going to face when you stop smoking cannabis.  Then decide on what your reaction will be when the situation arises.  This will prevent having to make split second decisions when you are weak from withdrawals.  Putting yourself through scenarios before they happen, and choosing the right outcome, will strengthen your resolve to make that decision when the situation actually happens.



You can stop smoking marijuana.  These tips will help set the foundation for you to break free from your addiction for good!

Marijuana has several names. If you hear the word cannabis, pot, grass, roach, joint, hashish, ganja, hemp, maui wowie, panama red, ragweed and weed, they all refer to marijuana. Marijuana is one of the most widely used illegal drugs, not only in the US but all over the globe.



In our society today, people from ages 13 and above are the most common abusers of marijuana. Experts say that marijuana can lead to psychological addiction. Clearly, people are abusing marijuana because they enjoy the feeling of euphoria which is generally observed after two or three hours of smoking. Another visible effect of smoking weed is a significant change in affect and emotion. Abusers often feel happy and relaxed. Similarly, they become very sensitive to humor, arts and most especially to music. These pleasant feelings, besides from bandwagon effect and peer pressure, are what tempting people to be addicted to marijuana.



On the contrary, there are effects of marijuana that are very harmful to the users and these are often overlooked. As marijuana abusers are only aware of the satisfaction they get from smoking but are completely unaware of the bad effects of it. Knowing these harmful side effects of marijuana will give abusers the reasons to stop abusing this drug.



So why should people stop smoking weed?



For Health Reasons
Smoking marijuana can cause temporary distortion of perception of the users which subsequently disrupts memory. Hence, leads to anxiety or panic attacks.



Furthermore, the abuse of this drug can cause significant lowering of blood pressure. At the same time, it increases the heart rate which leads to increase incidence of heart attack.



Experts say that one joint of marijuana is equivalent to one pack of cigarette. Just imagine how much damage marijuana can do to the lungs and throat of the abusers.



In addition, experts found out that abusers of this drug are likely to have impaired immune system predisposing them to many health care problems.



For Co-Curricular and Academic Reasons
Athletes who used to perform very well in sports are beginning to show trouble with coordination after marijuana abuse. The alteration of the brain activity particularly the coordination of the body is caused by the rapid lost of neurons in the brain due to chemicals found in the marijuana.



Moreover, researches showed that people, mostly teenagers who abuse marijuana tend to have poor performance in school. They are slow to response and hardly remember things. Memorization can be a great concern. They also have difficulties in sustaining attention, registering and processing information.



For Social Reasons
People who smoked this drug, regularly have red bloodshot eye that lasts within two to three hours. This makes them shy and aloof in the crowd and sometimes they only mingle with people who are marijuana addicts too.



Moreover, marijuana abusers seem to have lack of motivation and have no desire to work. They have a lack of concern regarding on how they look, behave and they do not care of the things happening around them. In connection, these attitudes and behaviors of the users are developed due to the psychoactive effects of marijuana. Users are used to pleasurable feeling they get after smoking marijuana.



Marijuana is restricted in many countries because it poses several dangers to the abusers. The things mentioned above are just some of the most obvious reasons to stop smoking weed. It is important to educate people regarding the dangers of marijuana. Teenagers should be the top priority, since they are in the stage wherein they are willing to try almost anything just to gain respect and acceptance from people around them.

Smoking is an addictive habit and without exerting proper control, can damage our health and affect the way of life of the people around us. It seems that the risk of lung cancer to get rid not strongly encourage enough for smokers. Output is not always easy and requires a lot of motivation and a good reason to do so.

First of all, smoking can cause many health complications. The two most common problems associated with smoking are lung cancer and emphysema.

If you're reading this, chances are you are at least thinking about giving up smoking. That's the first step. And let's be clear - it's a reasonable place to start. You won't quit smoking unless, or maybe until, you make the decision. So, step two is deciding. This is harder than step one, but even more important. The final step is the actual act of quitting. Undoubtedly the most difficult of the 3 steps.



Let's look at each of the three steps in more detail.



Don't discount the importance of thinking about stopping the smoking habit. The problem with smoking is that it has become a habit, maybe even a comforting habit. So giving it up is not an easy thing to do. You have to prepare your subconscious for the change that you are contemplating. The way to do this is in very small bits.



Spend some time thinking about maybe smoking less, before you introduce the idea of completely quitting. This will get your subconscious used to the idea of cutting down on tobacco. Now you may be thinking that this sounds kind of crazy. But along with the physical addiction to nicotine, your mind has also become used to the habit of smoking because you do it so often.



Next, start thinking about some of the negative effects that smoking has on your body. Even look at pictures of diseased lungs, or imagine yourself dragging an oxygen tank along with you as you struggle to breathe. After awhile, your subconscious will begin to accept the idea that smoking is bad for you. Once this happens you have a strong ally working with you in your quest to quit smoking.



Somewhere along the thinking process, smoking will become less appealing. At this point, you will start thinking that maybe you should try to quit smoking. This is decision time. You'll probably do a lot of wrestling with the idea before you are ready to actually make the decision to quit smoking. You'll go back and forth between yes, I am going to do it, to well I'm not sure if I am really ready, or maybe I'll try next week or next month. This is natural.



Although some people talk about how they just up and quit one day, it really doesn't happen often that way. They too went through the process we have been talking about, they maybe just weren't consciously aware of doing it. Awareness is another weapon for you to use in your battle to quit smoking.



Give yourself lots of time. Don't commit to the decision until you are firm in your resolve to quit. Because if you wait until you are truly ready, your chance of success increases.



Which brings us to the final step - quitting. A daunting process without a doubt. But you have arrived here well prepared to stop smoking. Now you just need to decide on how you want to do it. Strategies range from cold turkey to medical assistance. There is no right or wrong way to stop smoking. You may even fail a time or three, but don't let that stop you from trying. Just remember, quitting is a journey. The destination is a smoke free life.
