Never Smoke Again - An Introduction to Smoking Cessation
You've done it! By deciding to read this article, you have taken a huge step toward breaking your addiction to cigarettes, and are on the way to a nicotine-free life. Maybe you've tried quitting before, only to return to smoking cigarettes after a few days, weeks, or even months of being smoke-free. But be assured that you definitely can stop smoking. In fact, according to the American Lung Association, well over 45 million Americans, and much more worldwide, have already quit.
How did they do it? They found the method that worked for them and they stuck with it. Often, it wasn't the first method they have tried. In fact, most smokers will attempt to quit several times before they are successful- before they find the technique that works for them. This article was written to guide to you in finding the quitting method that's right for you so that you will never smoke again.
Will quitting be easy? No. Early in my life, I learned just how addictive cigarette smoking can be. My dad was at a death's door over twenty years ago. Not yet fifty-five years of age, he had heart problems and ultimately had to undergo triple bypass heart surgery. Even then, he still smoked. His sister couldn't understand why he was slowly killing himself, but no matter how he tried, he still couldn't kick the habit. At last, his doctor told him, "Robert, if you don't quit smoking, you'll be dead in seven years." Something clicked, and he never picked up a cigarette again.
The good news is that it's not necessary to face a life-threatening condition to quit smoking. Once you understand how cigarettes snare you, and what they do not only to your health but also to the health of your loved ones, it becomes clear that you HAVE to quit.
You must take a long hard look at cigarettes, why we smoke them, and how they keep us coming back for more, even when we want to desperately toss them away. Consider for yourself the many health consequences of tobacco- consequences that go far beyond respiratory illness and lung cancer.
I will help prepare you for your quit date by helping you access your core values and cement your resolve. By the time you finish the last article, you'll be ready to stop for good.
You'll learn about each of the top methods of quitting, including cold turkey; tapering off; nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, nasal spray, and inhale; Zyban; Chantix; hypnosis, and the stop smoking shot.
What exactly is each method and how does it work? How do you use it? What are the risks and drawbacks? And most importantly, does it work? Don't worry, I'll be helping you with each of these.
As you read about the various quitting techniques now available, one of the most important things you'll learn is that these techniques do not necessarily have to be used singly, but can often be combined. Quitting experts, for example, will often recommend that pairing a nicotine replacement therapy like the patch with a prescription aid such as Zyban greatly increases your chances of success.
In recent years with improved technology the medical community has developed the stop smoking shot. When this method was just launched, it brought huge hope to millions of smokers worldwide who have tried to quit smoking again and again only to fail repeatedly.
For any long term smoker who knows just how painful withdrawals are, the stop smoking shot is a miracle. The stop smoking injection allows future ex-smokers to visit their doctor once, get a quick injection, and never crave a cigarette again.
