Stop Smoking Aids for Beginners

Finding good stop smoking aids is no easy job, especially for those people who don't trust medication. In other words, if you are a person who thinks quitting smoking is possible without any prescription from your therapist it means you are heading towards a brighter smoke less future. However, there are cases when people are too desperate and don't have a clue where to start from. In most of these cases, medication and drugs that could help one overcome all the withdrawal symptoms and cravings are given. No matter how strong one might be, there are situations when the pain is so huge that you would do anything for it to go away just for one minute.

We previously talked about one of the most important requirements that a person who is willing to quit smoking must have and that is commitment. Without being determined to start a new life and to totally give up smoking you won't be able to do it, even with the most expensive aids that are produced for heavy smokers. There are plenty of nicotine replacement products nowadays. When I say "plenty" I mean really "a lot" of them. You have those that you can stick on your skin, the gum, etc. There are so many that sometimes people who are looking for solutions to give up smoking fast and easy seem to be a little bit overwhelmed and have no clue where to start.

Sometimes you just have to learn how to quit smoking from those who already did it. So why not seek the blog of an ex smoker and try to calculate his or her progress. I think that this might be a really good idea since in most of the cases people are just saying one thing and doing the vice versa. Make a commitment right now, just after finishing to read my new post and begin your smokeless life changing program. If you are a heavy smoker willing to see something new in this world, you need to stop being addicted to nicotine. The failure to achieve this goal is going to lock you in the tobacco prison for the rest of your life, which in fact, isn't that long if you continue this way.

Sure thing, I don't believe in drugs either and I never took them (honestly) when quitting smoking and even when facing those awful cravings. Anyways, this doesn't mean that I never wondered, "How the heck to I get rid of cravings when quitting smoking?". The problem is that in most of the cases this is the price that you will be required to pay for spending the rest of your life away from cigarettes. Otherwise, you are welcome to continue your daily one pack routine and enjoy a lung cancer in several years; and as nowadays they don't have any reliable cancer treatment for most smokers that get it, I suppose that you are a grown up and realize what is going to happen.

The purpose of this post entitled "Stop Smoking Aids for Beginners" is to show you once again that if you don't take action nothing is going to happen. As my main purpose is to try and help as many people as possible quit smoking, I won't possible try to influence you to use any particular method to get rid of this life taking addiction. However, if you think that being aided by some kind of drug like Zyban or Chantix is going to help, than you are welcome to try - maybe you'll succeed. Anyway, be aware of the possible secondary effects that most of these products have. It's great to quit smoking, but it's not okay to face suicidal thoughts afterward.

If you are a quit smoking beginner and you need help, you may try several stop smoking aids in order not to go crazy the first several days (mostly first week) after you stop inhaling the smoke from cigarettes and decide that you won't be smoking again. I would suggest nicotine patches, but as most of you already realize that this is not honest stop smoking, you can go without taking anything at all. However, don't say that you haven't been warned. In most of the cases you will be facing terrible pain, nausea, insomnia and many other unpleasant issues. So, take your time for your decision. Most aids to help you get rid of nicotine also have their negative aspects so don't blindly believe in everything that you are being given or told.

Time to think of nicotine addiction in a different way

Last night was graduation for the participants in my smoking cessation workshop. All had quit smoking for varying lengths of time from a couple of days to two months. For most, it had been three weeks but a common thread was, "Why is it still so hard? Why do I still have cravings? Why doesn't it seem to be getting any easier?"
Those comments are an example of still thinking of smoking as just a

Clinton takes cigarettes to Haiti

It was an unfortunate choice that when taking supplies to Haiti, that some staffer threw in some cigarette cartons along with real necessities such as soap, water and food. But I think this is a sad commentary on how much of our society still thinks of smoking as just a bad habit instead of an addiction. I'm sure whomever bought the cigarettes thought it would bring comfort but I'm also sure that

Beware the Saboteur

Often a smokers best meaning friends and family are their worst enemy when trying to quit. Smokers need support and encouragement, but our supporters often are saboteurs instead. On Franks first day, his wife asked how he did that day. Frank, a two pack a day smoker, admitted that he smoked two cigarettes. Instead of congratulating him on not smoking of the other thirty eight, she focused on his

"Quit or Die" or use harm reduction?

Jim quit smoking when he was in his 30's after receiving a diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmunary Disease (COPD). He took his doctor's advice and switched from smoking cigarettes to using smokeless tobacco or "chew". Thirty years later Jim is in my Stop Smoking, Stay Quit class to stop his nicotine addiction to smokeless tobacco.

This is an example of "harm reduction". The premise is that

Breast Cancer and smoking

I just watched a program featuring Stanton Glanz, PhD. from the University of California in San Fransisco. He is one of my heroes. He has been a leading force in California's smoke free laws since 1978. He was talking on the relationship between smoking and breast cancer. Another subject dear to my heart since I am a breast cancer survivor. I was diagnosed when I was 32.
Glanz presents a very

Quit Smoking Drugs

How to quit smoking with drugs? This post is dedicated to all you those who think that quitting smoking with drugs is a good solution to get rid of this life killing addiction. Many people still don’t understand that the problem of smoking is making the human kind more ill each and every day. Cancer is one of the most wide spread disease related problems that literally murders thousands of innocent people almost every year. So what can be done about it? If talking seriously, there are too many different kinds of interests that make the cigarette and tobacco market extremely profitable. It’s impossible to make the smoking addiction disappear once and for all from this world.

However, the other part of the smoking puzzle is also growing extremely large with the new health market products which make quitting smoking much easy and claim that the unique and only answer for this is acquiring the latest quit smoking pill, getting the awesome quit smoking medication and generally buying all the quit smoking drugs when they are possible to be acquire on this market. In my opinion this is extremely naive. People have to understand that the real solutions about quitting smoking is hidden in one’s desire to change something about his or her life, not in the so called ultimate product that can ease your pain.

Cravings are something natural when trying to quit smoking. If you are a serious smoker and while trying to make this addiction go away by reducing the nicotine dose on a daily basis and you simply don’t feel any cravings it means that something is terribly wrong because a normal person would simply die off some incredible pain that is making one go nuts. No folks, I’m not trying to scare you I just want to say that quitting smoking has to be hard in order for that person to realize the big step that he or she is actually making. It can be easy, because if getting rid of tobacco addiction would be so simple than coming back to it would be as easy as quitting so there must be a great balance in order to produce the necessary harmony.

So why do you think that people continue to purchase quit smoking drugs so often, especially on the internet? Do they actually believe in all that is being told to them about the huge effects that are going to help every smoker out there quit smoking without experiencing at least the basic nuances of cravings? Well, I can’t surely say much about this but it seems so. People actually are afraid to take important decisions in their life and when doing something that important as overcoming the tobacco addiction then just want to secure their success and not to feel any pain. Being afraid is not an option and you should be that person that understands it if you want to succeed in your smoking cessation attempts. You should be paying more attention to natural ways to quit smoking.

That’s why most drugs to help you quit smoking are probably going to reduce the usual pain that a smoker is feeling, but won’t solve the whole addiction problem in the long run. I would like to suggest that before purchasing any quit smoking drugs you have to carefully analyze all the secondary effects about that particular medication. Search for reviews on the internet because you’ll be surprised about how people write about these issues. Those who are trying to sell you stuff will be hyping it up like always but you can also stumble upon many different honest reviews that will show you the right way. Anyway, quitting smoking is about not giving up and continuing to struggle until success.
