Stop Smoking – How to Quit Smoking! – Its Easy to Stop Smoking

Smoking asked:


Do you really want to stop smoking or do you want to help somebody quit smoking? If your answer is YES then this brings us to yet another question “How can you stop smoking?” how can you or anybody else quit this stinking habit? Well, in rare cases it’s easy for some individuals to quit the smoking habit, they will just wake up one day and decide they will never smoke again and they quit smoking just like that. Out of my own experience I think nobody enjoys smoking, it’s only the beginners who enjoy this habit in it’s early stages until they are addicted to the habit and start fighting it back in efforts of trying to quit the same habit, therefore a majority of so called “smokers” only smoke because they are addicted to smoking and not because they enjoy smoking.

I will tell you a short story of my own experience. I started smoking back in 1995 when I used to work in a discotheque as a Dj. I was drawn to the habit by friends and I got deep into it not realizing what I was getting my self into. At first it was fun it was cool and it felt so good “smoking”, it was relaxing. After a year I decided, well I am tired of smoking and its time to quit so I woke up one morning and said to my self I will never smoke again. Three hours later on that same day while smoking my second cigarette is when I remembered that I had made a decision that morning never to smoke again! I felt terrible it was like I had betrayed my self; this went on for days months and years until I realized how difficult it was for me to stop the habit.

This “war” between me and smoking went on for twelve years; I tried every thing from eating specific kinds of selected foods to all sorts of medicine including herbal medicines in the efforts of trying to get rid of the cigarette cravings but nothing worked until one day in 2006 while searching for the cure to my smoking problem on the internet I came across this amazing Freedom From Smoking Guide.

Smoking causes fertility problems and affects sexual health in both men and women, women using any form of birth control can develop serious health problems including heart attacks when they smoke and in the case of men they tend to develop ******** problems.

Cigarette, cigars and pipe smoke contains over 4000 different harmful chemicals which affect a person’s body and health quickly some of these effects are: High risk of illness, slow healing of injuries, reduced physical performance, bad smells and breath, stained teeth and bad skin.

Global Smoking Trends- Where Tobacco Companies Make Money These Days?

Smoking Joey asked:


Smoking has become the affliction of a large magnitude of people and others seem to be joining the smoke bandwagon at an alarming rate. Smoking has become a very common sight with one out of every fifth person being a smoker. The trend of smoking has become very common among teenagers also. The problems one gets due to smoking are many, but they do not seem to encourage people to stop smoking or deter people for starting to smoke. The hazardous effects of smoking are many, but people do not seem to be paying heed; the tobacco companies seem to be the only one is reaping the rewards out of smoking.

Since tobacco was born, it has been a few companies dominate the tobacco industry. These companies control most of the production and distribution around the world. They are quick to adapt to their policies and tactics to conform to the regulations set by the government and cater to the needs of the ever-increasing number of smokers around the world.

Tobacco companies of the world

A few companies hold the tobacco production and control of tobacco; the three largest companies sell close to two thirds of the entire supply. The stagnation in demand has prompted them to explore new markets.

The government is in a predicament since the tobacco industry accounts for a vast amount of jobs, but it also has to protect the health of its citizens. The government has tried to cut down on smokers by increasing the taxes imposed on them. By increasing the taxes on tobacco products and leveling higher duties on the companies, the companies are forced to raise the prices, which indirectly reduce use; since higher priced goods will be used less often. There is not much the government can do since tobacco is not a banned product.

The large companies also diversify their business to keep abreast in the market. They use various ways the companies diversify.

By market segments: Products are usually divided into categories, from high priced premium cigarettes to low and middle class of cigarettes. Companies with big brand names sell premium high priced cigarettes but also expand in to lower class sales to protect them from susceptibility. A decline in sales of premium cigarettes will be ploughed back by the sales in the lower or middle brands of cigarettes.

By target group: Every cigarette has its target group. By creating a new target group, the company can raise its overall market share. Thus the need to branch out into women cigarettes and target young people.

This targeting of women and youngsters has been seen in bad light. The tobacco industry has long targeted young people with its advertising and promotional campaigns. One of the most memorable, “Joe Camel” campaign initiated by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, helped generate public outrage against tobacco company efforts to reach young audiences and it is no longer used. The reason is obvious, most people start smoking at an early age. Getting a hold on a new segment will increase its share in the market.

Women are also a segment that the industries try to win over. Cigarettes for women are put forward as a symbol of liberation and some even shown in the light of slimming products. Manufacturers produce (long, slim) cigarettes especially for women. Perfumed or scented cigarettes with exotic flavors are targeted at women. Cigarettes usually have the word “slim” or “lights” to attract women consumers. Minorities are also a target for the tobacco industry.

Diversification by tobacco products: cigarettes companies also try to branch out into other tobacco products. For example, Imperial tobacco has decided to branch out into the roll your own segment; it dominates both the tobacco and the paper for this segment.

Diversification by non-tobacco products: food seems to be the favorite for companies seeking to diversify. R.J. Reynolds bought Nabisco (which, in turn, was later acquired by Kraft) owned by Philip Morris. Japan Tobacco derives a (small) part of its sales from food. Logistics and wholesaling are another favorite

Austria Tabak, wholesaling of tobacco and other products (and the operation of vending machines) makes up a large share of turnover. Over 20 per cent of Altadis’ earnings originate in its logistics division. Skandinavisk Tobakskompagni owns the largest wholesaler of consumer goods in Denmark. BAT tried financial services (but, since 1998, is a pure tobacco company).

Diversification into food and other activities makes the tobacco companies less dependent on (slow-growing) sales of tobacco products. However, the profit margins in these industry are usually well below those attained in tobacco processing. Producing and marketing cigarettes remain the more lucrative activity.

Incase of diversification by geographical market, OECD-based tobacco companies are keen to reduce their dependence on their stagnant home markets and establish a presence in markets where growth is above average. After having started business in many markets in Latin

America, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Central Asian republics in the 1990s, their center of attention is shifting to the Far East. All the major tobacco companies now have a presence in Poland, Russia and the Central Asian republics. Austria Tabak, which gained a presence in

Estonia when it acquired the cigarette activities of Swedish Match also has a 67 per cent market share in Guinea. The company was considering entering Asian markets when it was taken over by Gallaher in June 2001. Through this take-over and the acquisition in 2000 of Liggett-Ducat, the Moscow cigarette maker, Gallaher greatly reduced its dependence on the UK market. Similarly, Japan Tobacco became a world player when it acquired the international activities of R.J. Reynolds. Thanks to a relentless internationalization drive, Germany’s Reemtsma now sells less than one-third of its total in its home market (compared to over 60 per cent in 1991) (see also figure 6). It is now on the go in several Central and Eastern European countries and, in 1999, it acquired Cambodia’s Paradise Tobacco Company.

The government.

A predicament is generally faced by the Governments all across the world. On the one hand, tobacco-growing and processing can makes a large contribution to employment, tax revenue and foreign exchange receipts. In many developing and formerly centrally planned economies, the tobacco companies have made sizeable and most welcome investments when other investors were disinclined to do so. On the other hand, governments have the responsibility to protect the population’s health. Smoking is harmful to health and treating people for smoking-related illnesses is expensive. This can lead to heated debates within the same government as each sector defends the interests it believes it should represent.

The economic importance of tobacco growing and processing differs from country to country. At the national level, cigarette (sales and import) tax can be a main source of government revenue. In Russia, cigarette tax revenue contributes around 8 per cent to the financing of the state budget.

When the government owns the industry, it receives profits in addition to tax. That is why, in so many countries, State monopolies continue to control cigarette trade and production. In China, proceeds from state-owned CNTC amounted to the equivalent of US$11,000 million in 1999. CNTC has been the Chinese State’s top revenue generator for years. Japan Tobacco earned more than US$400 million for the Japanese State in the fiscal year ending March 2000. The monopolies can also play a social function. In Italy, several of the state monopoly’s factories are to be found in areas of high unemployment.

Then there are balance of payments issues to mull over, many low-income countries rely on the export of cash crops such as tobacco to pay for the service of their foreign debt.

Tobacco exports made up close to 10 per cent of Cuba’s exports in 1997-98. In the case of

Tanzania it was 15 per cent, In Zimbabwe over 25 per cent and in Malawi tobacco exports made up two-thirds of commodity exports.

Citizens smoke. But, if they smoke domestically produced cigarettes, using homegrown tobacco or use imported cigarettes and tobaccos can make a large difference when foreign exchange is scarce. That explains why so many countries try to restrict the imports of cigarettes and encourage domestic producers to use local tobaccos, for example, by providing a favorable tax treatment to companies that use a minimum percentage of homegrown tobaccos. The cigarette companies have also been a key source of investment in the formerly centrally planned countries of Central and Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. When others were disinclined to invest, those companies saw the possibilities offered by a blend of pent-up consumer demand, outdated production facilities and the association with independence and “western style” living that so appealed to the people in these countries after many years of central planning and little consumer choice. After having lobbied successfully for the reduction of restrictions of Asian markets such as Japan and the Republic of Korea, the large tobacco companies are eagerly waiting for the opening up of the other economies (notably China) that continue to restrict imports from and/or investments by foreign tobacco companies.

Tobacco growing, processing and exports can thus make a significant involvement to national employment and national income. Yet, however important tobacco growing and processing may be at the national level, its full economic and social significance is best grasped at the micro or regional level. In some regions, tobacco is grown side by side with the crop, which is the main source of income; its contribution to overall income is modest. However, in many others, tobacco is a main source of income and employment.

Tobacco growing and tobacco processing may bring substantial economic and social benefits, but the treatment of smoking-related illness is costly. Cigarette smoking causes cancer. It is addictive. The WHO estimates that tobacco products cause around 3 million deaths per year. Cigarette smoking is the major cause of preventable mortality in developed countries. In the mid-1990s, about 25 per cent of all male deaths in developed countries were due to smoking. Among men aged 35-69 years, more than one-third of all deaths were caused by smoking. The costs of treating all these people are clearly enormous (WHO, 1997).

So far, smoking has not had the same impact on mortality among women and among people from developing countries. There is an approximate 30-40 year time lag between the onset of persistent smoking and deaths from smoking. The effects of the greater incidence of smoking between these two groups will thus be felt with a lag, but it seems reasonable to believe that its impact on them will not differ fundamentally from that on developed country males.

It may be argued that smokers willingly take a certain health risk when enjoying their smoke. They like the taste and all the other things that they associate with smoking. Nevertheless, this does not apply to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) or “second-hand smoke”.

Smoke gets in your eyes your clothes. Moreover, it gets in your lungs. Non-smokers cannot escape from smoke in badly ventilated areas. To be exposed to other people’s tobacco smoke can be a nuisance in addition to being a health risk for non-smokers.

Governments and conflicting pressures: How do they get by?

In practice, governments have opted for several strategies (which are often followed simultaneously). A recent strategy consists of seeking compensation for the costs of treating smoking-related illnesses. It has been followed with success in the United States, as we saw in section 3.4. Governments also set rules regarding the maximum content of hazardous substances in cigarettes. Most of all, however, governments try to discourage demand for what is, as the industry does not tire of telling us, essentially a legal product.

This is done in a variety of ways, with some governments applying particular vigor and others taking a more relaxed approach. Overall, however, the trend is clear: governments’ rules on smoking are becoming ever more restrictive. The use of tobacco products is being discouraged in several ways.

Limitation of the space where smoking is allowed.

This is done above all to protect non-smokers from involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke. Smoking is being prohibited in public places (particularly health care and educational facilities) and in mass transport. Legislation requires restaurants to reserve space for non-smokers.

Limitation by age group

It is prohibited to sell tobacco products to people under a certain age.

Limitations on points of sale.

The use of vending machines is being restricted because these cannot discriminate against sales to young people.

Health warnings stating that tobacco is harmful to health have become obligatory.

The warnings must be placed on packets and in ads, with the authorities prescribing the text and the minimum space allotted to the warning in the ad or on the pack. Governments sponsor education and public information programs on smoking and health.

Advertising bans. Restrictions concern the location of ads, the media used (no billboards, no ads in the printed media or in cinemas), the images presented (no young people, no cigarette packets), and the time when broadcasting is allowed (not during hours when children watch television).

The manufacturers are unhappy with these restrictions, and in particular with the ban on advertising. In their view, it is not proved that such a ban discourages demand for cigarettes (as its proponents claim). They are concerned about its effect on the value of their prime asset, the brand name.

Worldwide, the tobacco-processing industry employs hundreds of thousands of people. However, due to a combination of slow demand growth, consolidation, and higher productivity, this number is unlikely to increase by much in the near future. Fewer people are needed per unit of production. The industry is becoming less intensive in the use of labor. Tobacco growing, in contrast, gives work to millions of people. It continues to be a highly labour-intensive activity. The scope for productivity increases in tobacco growing would appear to be more limited than those in tobacco processing.

Over a million people are employed in the world tobacco industry

However, of this number a high percentage is employed in just three countries: China, India and Indonesia. The large number employed in China comes as no surprise in view of the large number of cigarettes (one-third of the world total) produced there. Still, the productivity gap with the United States is striking. China produces roughly three times as many cigarettes as the US, but it needs over nine times as many people to produce them. In the other two countries, the scope for productivity improvements would appear to be even higher.

THE SCENARIO TODAY.

The situation concerning smoking are scary, if global trends continue as they are doing today by 2030 more than 8 million people will die each year from tobacco related causes-80% in the developing regions of the World. In India per example where 120 million smoke 1 in 5 men will die for smoking. Smoking is on the decline in developed nations but is on a large-scale rise in developing or underdeveloped nations. The statistics are frightening, every eight seconds someone dies from smoking; about 15 billion cigarettes are sold daily. There are 1.1 billion smokers in the world today, and if things continue as they have, that number is expected to increase to 1.6 billion by the year 2025.

Smoking and use of tobacco products is on a decline in most developed countries. However, it is on a rampant increase in other developing countries.

In the US, there has been a decrease in the number of smokers. This can be attributed to the growing awareness of the damage smoking causes to the health of the individual. There is however a sad side to the story, smoking has increased to a drastic level in other countries and the figures are staggering.

China is home to 300 million smokers who consume upwards of 1.7 trillion cigarettes a year, or 3 million cigarettes a minute. As many as 100 million Chinese men presently under the age of 30 will die from tobacco use. There are approximately 120 million smokers in India today, and it is estimated that in the year 2010 alone, there will be close to one million tobacco-related deaths among men and women age 30 to 69 in India. Worldwide, tobacco use will kill more than 175 million people between now and the year 2030. Current tobacco-related health care costs in the United States total US $81 billion annually. Germany spends an average of US $7 billion, and Australia, US $1 billion each year on health care directly related to tobacco use. Health care costs associated with secondhand smoke total US $5 billion a year in the U.S. It is estimated that as many as 500 million people alive today will be killed by tobacco use. The statistics are chilling.

One reason for the sudden spurt in the numbers in these countries may be due to the arrival of tobacco companies. The lax stand of the governments in these countries makes it a good bet to start business. The anti smoking lobbies in these countries have not been able to combat the increase. Increased awareness has made it hard for tobacco companies to work in many countries and so the tobacco companies have shifted their sights to greener pastures.

These countries have a very small anti smoking lobby and the government restrictions o them are not so tough and the government is dependent on the revenues it earns from them. Setting up business in these countries has resulted in increased used of tobacco products.

The anti smoking lobby has been very effective in curtailing the spread and increase of smoking around the world.

Advertising related to tobacco has is banned in most countries. Warnings of the harmful effects of the product have to be printed on the packet. This statutory warning is mandatory in most countries. The WHO in its Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which came into effect on 27 February 2005 has specified that all 168 countries should ban advertisements unless their constitutions forbade them to do so.

Today, we are aware of the hazards of smoking. Even though the people are aware of the harmful effects of smoking they rarely seem to pay heed. Everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, heart diseases and can shorten the life span of an individual. It is a highly addictive habit and smokers are at a risk of losing ten years of their life.

With so many smokers around the world, tobacco companies are the only ones gaining form the increase.

Health Risks of Passive Cigarette Smoking

Alan B. Densky, CH asked:


le know that smoking is dangerous, yet despite knowing about the dangerous effects of smoking on their personal health, many smokers never quit. They rationalize their habit by thinking that they are only hurting themselves when they smoke. However, smoking also affects the health of people who do not smoke. Friends, children, family, co-workers, and even bystanders may suffer health effects from passive smoking.

What is passive smoking? You may be familiar the term “secondhand smoke” to describe smoke inhaled by someone who is near a smoker. Secondhand smoke is a combination of smoke from a burning pipe, cigarette, or cigar, and the smoke exhaled by a smoker. It often contains higher amounts of damaging chemicals than inhaled smoke, for example, twice as much tar and nicotine. This puts people exposed to secondhand smoke at a higher risk of smoking related diseases and health problems.

Research into the effects of passive smoking on health show increased risks of heart disease, lung disease, and various ailments for people constantly exposed to secondhand smoke. Statistics on passive smoking show a link between passive smoking and cancer, with people exposed to secondhand smoke having an increased risk of lung cancer and heart disease. It is not uncommon for a nonsmoking child or spouse of a smoker to develop illnesses associated with smoking because of constant exposure to secondhand smoke.

Secondhand smoke is especially bad for infants and children. Infants and children exposed to secondhand smoke have a higher risk of respiratory diseases and other respiratory illnesses. Children who have asthma are at a higher risk of having frequent attacks. Secondhand smoke can also be responsible for raising a pregnant woman’s risk of having a miscarriage or a premature baby.

Due to the negative impacts of passive smoking, smoking has been banned in many public places, such as restaurants and bars. Secondhand smoke can also be a cause for concern in the workplace. Workers who inhale secondhand smoke have an increased risk of illness and even have more absences from work. This has led many offices to ban smoking on the premises, and some areas have even passed ordinances against smoking at work. Amongst jobs with a ban on smoking, employers report more productive employees and fewer absences from work.

Typically, most smokers begin seeking ways to quit smoking out of concern for their family’s health. There are many ways to quit smoking, and one of the easiest ways is through the use of a quit smoking hypnotherapy program. Hypnotherapy programs for quitting smoking are developed specifically to help smokers quit smoking without going through withdrawal. They are particularly effective because they help smokers fight the psychological aspect of the addiction, which is the hardest part to overcome.

Self-hypnosis programs are developed to teach people hypnosis techniques to help quit smoking. One of the best things about these programs is the fact that smokers learn how to quit smoking without experiencing withdrawal. Hypnosis techniques can diminish or even completely eliminate withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking. Another good thing is that since people learn how to perform hypnotherapy techniques on themselves, they do not have to worry about having a relapse. If they ever want to smoke, they just recall and utilize the techniques that helped them quit.

Hypnotherapy produces many effects to help people quit smoking. It is an excellent tool for eliminating smoking cravings while also functioning as a relaxation aid to reduce stress. It also acts as a motivational aid to eliminate the psychological addiction to smoking. This combination of effects gives hypnotherapy its effectiveness in helping people to quit smoking for good.

The benefits of quitting smoking include better health for the quitting smoker as well as for friends, co-workers, and family. People who are looking to quit for the sake of their loved ones can turn to hypnosis for a useful and easy-to-use tool for quitting. Anyone can learn hypnotic techniques for quitting from an instructional hypnosis program, and hypnotherapy for smoking cessation has a high rate of effectiveness because it makes quitting smoking easier and faster.

Why Do We Smoke?

Mike Durand asked:


Cigarette manufactures have been required to put warnings on all their packages of cigarettes to tell us that cigarette smoking is dangerous to our health so why do we still smoke. According to United States studies, cigarette smoking is responsible for one out of every five deaths in the U.S. Smoking robs more than five million years of lifespan because of premature death. Cigarettes are the most addictive and destructive over-the-counter drug known to man. Cigarette smoking is equivocal to lung cancer. With this said, one may wonder why do we still smoke?

Before World War I, tobacco was smoked in the form of cigars. They were primarily smoked by the wealthy. Cigarettes, which are basically leftovers of the cigar making process, were smoked by the less affluent. The number of people who smoked cigarettes boomed when tobacco companies started to mass-produce cigarettes. Their clientele: soldiers of World War I.

As early as 1892 cases of epilepsy, insanity and death were frequently reported as the result of smoking cigarettes, while such physicians as Dr. Lewis Sayre, Dr. Hammond, and Sir Morell Mackenzie of England, name heart trouble, blindness, cancer and other diseases cause by cigarettes smoking.

Leading physicians of America in 1892 unanimously condemn cigarette smoking as one of the vilest and most destructive evils that ever befell the youth of any country, declaring that its direct tendency is a deterioration of the race.

It took some time before modern day physicians would acknowledged the deadly by-product of smoking. Doctors only took notice of the increase in lung cancer incidents 20

to 30 years after WWI. With this increase, Reader’s Digest published an article “Cancer by the Carton,” which prompted the public to be aware of the effects of cigarette smoking. Similar articles have been published to condemn cigarette smoking. Medical advancements have proven the correlation between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. But despite all of these, lung cancer has remained to be one of the most common diseases in the modern world so why do we still smoke.

Surgeon General Luther Terry issued a landmark concluding, for the first time, that smoking is a direct cause of lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema in 1964 and then again on May 27, 2004 the U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona released a new comprehensive report on smoking and health, revealing for the first time that smoking causes diseases in nearly every organ of the body. Published 40 years after the surgeon general’s first report on smoking, which concluded that smoking was a definite cause of three serious diseases, this newest report finds that cigarette smoking is conclusively linked to diseases such as leukemia, cataracts, pneumonia and cancers of the cervix, kidney, pancreas and stomach so why do we still smoke?

Cigarettes’ most common ingredient is nicotine. Nicotine is more addictive than heroine, which is in fact, a prohibited drug in most parts of the world. Aside from heroine, doctors ranked nicotine ahead of alcohol and cocaine in terms of dependence. Indeed, research has shown that smoking four cigarettes a day can induce life-long addiction to nicotine.

The Cigarette manufactures are not helping according to this report from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, they are one of only 3 states that require tobacco companies to submit reports. What they found is, from 1998 to 2004 the amount of nicotine in a cigarette has increased steadily, the study showed that regardless of brand that the amount of nicotine that is actually delivered to the smokers lungs has increased significantly overall, nicotine yields increased ten percent. Marlboro, Newport, and Camel, the three most popular brands with young smokers, all delivered significantly more nicotine, and Kool menthol increased twenty percent. With all this new information why do we still smoke?

Maybe it’s because people who smoke tend to see smoking as a part of their personality, as something that they cannot live without. That is a clear sign of addiction. And the addiction to chemicals, which in the case of nicotine, is considered a sickness.

What adds to the addiction to smoke cigarettes is the psychological pleasure or satisfaction a smoker gains when puffing a cigarette. Smokers describe smoking as a “pat-on-the-back” after a hard day’s work. One smoker confesses that it is not the taste of the cigarette; it is actually the sense of satisfaction that you get from it that keeps you smoking. Studies have also shown that depression is twice as common to people who smoke against those who do not smoke. Some also use cigarettes as an ersatz activity to pass time and be patient. Just like in war movies, when a soldier is waiting for the signal to attack, he is seen holding a gun in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

Nicotine triggers the smoker’s brain to be more efficient in processing information. It also reduces anxiety and induces euphoria. Researches have also shown that nicotine induces alertness and arousal, and sedation and relaxation based on the dose of nicotine intake. These effects, though, do not outweigh the harmful effect of nicotine addiction, which is lung cancer, and possibly other ailments, which will all eventually lead to death, so why do we still smoke?

People who cannot stop smoking may see it the other way around. They may be blinded by the short-term effects of nicotine. Aside from nicotine, smokers rarely know that a cigarette contains acetylene (fuel used in welding), cyanide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide, all of which are harmful chemicals. These chemicals are also used as poison, so why do we still smoke?

Psychosocial factors also contribute to why people continue to smoke. People surrounded by people who smoke, like family and friends, can soon develop the habit of smoking. And as its addictive nature, the smoker will have a hard time quitting the habit. An environment permissive and indifferent towards cigarette smoking will produce significant numbers of smokers.

Recently, researchers have reported that genetic variables also play a role on why people keep on smoking. These genetic variables affect the tendency of a person to smoke to the chances of quitting.

Given the many facts and figures related to the hazards of smoking cigarettes, the percentage of smokers has not experienced any considerable decrease. In fact, it continues to increase. The World Health Organization has estimated that by year 2020, tobacco will kill more people than any single disease in the world.

Educating people about the dangers of smoking doesn’t seem to help. For some smokers, thinking that smoking is directly related to lung cancer and eventually death is a myth yet to be proven.

I don’t know the answer to why do we still smoke, I do know that smoking is not only a habit but in fact that smoking is also an addiction, and sooner or later, this will eventually cause death,so why do we still smoke?

With the cigarette manufactures increasing the nicotine in tobacco which is a highly addictive drug that affects nearly every organ in our body it makes it more difficult to quit smoking, maybe its time to answer the question why do we still smoke. We know that smoking is a very powerful addiction and with the increase of nicotine, it can take multiple attempts to quit smoking, it’s time for you to answer the question why do we still smoke and seek out the help you need to quit.

Quit Smoking for the Family That Loves You

Richard Lang asked:


If you are a smoker, you may justify your smoking habit by thinking that you are only hurting yourself. After all, you have made the choice to smoke, opening yourself up to numerous smoking related diseases, but you are not forcing those you love to do the same. If you have ever thought about trying to quit smoking, do so now. Your family loves and needs you, and your smoking habit is going to take you from them sooner rather than later.

How Smoking Affects You

Cigarette smoking may have seemed harmless when you first started, but chances are you now know about the many diseases that affect male smokers and female smokers alike. Lung cancer, emphysema, bladder infections, and other kinds of cancer are all linked to smoking. Every time you smoke a cigarette, you are hammering a nail into your coffin.

Besides this, smoking affects you as a person. You begin to smell like smoke, no matter how careful you are about your smoking habit. Your teeth and fingers will be stained by tobacco as well. Your overall appearance will change with time, and your family will have to watch this transformation happen in front of them.

How Smoking Affects Your Family

While you may have told yourself that your smoking habit only affects you, this is simply not true. Your smoking habit affects everyone in your family, even the nonsmokers. Your spouse and your children are exposed to secondhand smoke every single day. While not as dangerous as smoking directly, secondhand smoke can cause all of the same conditions that direct smoking causes. Imagine learning that your precious child has developed lung cancer because you exposed her to secondhand smoke. This is entirely possible.

According to the American Lung Association, secondhand smoke is responsible for 3,400 lung cancer deaths each year in adults who are nonsmokers. As many as 300,000 children develop dangerous lower respiratory tract infections because of secondhand smoke inhalation each year. Secondhand smoke can even kill children. Each year over 400 babies die of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) due to exposure to secondhand smoke. By smoking near your children, you could be killing them.

How Smoking Affects Your Family’s Budget

Have you been wondering how you will pay for your children’s college education? If you quit smoking, you may be able to see this possibility. Smoking has a huge effect on your family’s budget, draining funds that you could use to support the family you love so much.

Depending on where you live, the cost for a pack of cigarettes is probably around $4.00. If you are smoking one pack per day, which is fairly common, you are spending $1500 a year on your cigarette smoking habit. Imagine how much money that would be if you could invest that same $1500 in a college fund for the next 18 years.

You need to quit smoking for the family who loves you. By smoking, you are slowly killing yourself, robbing your children of a parent and your spouse of a lover. You are also putting your children in danger, and could potentially kill them. To top off all of these dangers, you are draining needed funds from your family’s budget. While it is not easy to quit smoking, you need to do so, because your smoking habit is destroying your family!

Smokers Really Want to Quit Smoking?

Tsuyoshi E. Suzuki asked:


If you smoke, you know how difficult it is to Quit Smoking. Have you ever tried to quit smoking but you have failed because other people around you still smoke?

Several people try to quit smoking, but most fail. Most people when they quit smoking decide to try to quit. Through monitoring of their environment and adjusting their quitting techniques it is possible for people at all smoking levels to quit.

However, if the smoker makes the right decisions, understands them and can open their eyes to the truth about smoking and their smoking behaviour, it is possible for them to quit. Until now, drugs that purport to help you quit smoking have largely ignored the root of the problem Nicotine — the chemical that keeps you hooked to those insidious packs of cigarettes and unless you rid your body of that nasty chemical as quickly as possible the success of any Smoking Cessation treatment is reduced dramatically. As an ex-smoker and a former fatty (arguably!), I have found what I believe to be the solution to the problem. It is all to do with the decision. We may decide that we would like to quit smoking or that we would like to lose weight, but have we decided to commit to doing it?

Whatever kind of quit smoking approach or therapy you decide on, you should always seek professional advice from your doctor who will be able to prescribe for you the best medical treatment in accordance with your health conditions. When the smoker is finally able to quit smoking their trigger spots will still be there. A positive mental attitude to quitting smoking, coupled with a good understanding of why you really smoke will help any smoker quit the habit.

You can help you increase the chances of being successful during your effort to quit smoking by taking a walk or talking to a friend when you crave a cigarette . Research by the American Journal of Preventative Medicine has found that, on average, less than seven per cent of smokers who attempt to quit smoking on their own, are successful in being nicotine-free a year later. Given this similar rate of regular smoking at adulthood, women tend to smoke 2 cigarettes per day less than men, on average smoking 13 cigarettes compared to men smoking 15.

The postponing method means that every day, you delay the time you smoke your first cigarettes a little later until you can go through the whole day without smoking. If you follow the advice in this article then it should make quitting smoking a little easier, despite the fact that your friends and family smoke. “We affirm that environmental tobacco smoke is a significant public health risk to young children and that parents need to know about the risks of smoking in the home around their young children.

It was not until the 1950s that the dangers of smoking were firmly established but tobacco companies are now known to have gone out of their way to hide these facts from the public. Polls have shown that the vast majority of the population, smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers alike all underestimate the dangers of both smoking and passive smoking. A vast majority of people who try to stop smoking find after a short period of time they resume the habit, many are unsuccessful simply because of the method they used to help them stop smoking.

In conjunction with the stop smoking tea provided to help people keep calm and reduce stress a reason many people give as to why they started smoking in the first place or why they are unable to stop. If you think this is a little morbid, why not do some research on famous smokers or people in the public eye who have died from smoking related illnesses?

If you really want to quit smoking, stop smoking tea is the best choice. You can quit smoking in 6 days without chemical side effects. Find out more information about it, make sure you click the link at resource box below.

Quit Smoking in 7 Steps The Nancy Reagan Way

Tony Yost asked:


Do you want to stop smoking cigarettes? I don’t mean your wife/husband, girlfriend/boyfriend, mother/father, or doctor wants you to stop smoking.

Do you want to stop smoking?

If you do, then I can help! If you’re just trying to please someone else, don’t bother. Quitting is very, very hard to do, and doing it because you want to is the only way you’re going to be able to do what it takes to quit.

Some background… I smoked like the proverbial choo-choo train for about 20 years. Not “I didn’t inhale”, or “One cigarette every now and then”… I mean “chain-smoking, if you can’t smoke there, I don’t want to go there”, 2-3+ packs a day, smoking. See, I smoked before the “non-smokers revolted”. In those days, you could smoke on airplanes. You could smoke at work. (In fact, the CFO at one of the places I worked had a (humorous?) sign that read, “This is a smoking area. Please smoke. If you persist in non-smoking you will be asked to leave.” So I could chain smoke, even at work… no waiting for “a smoke break”. You could smoke in restaurants, too. And I did.

Later, I became an independent computer consultant. Somewhere around 1991 companies started restricting smoking. I began to have a tough time with some of my clients. After about 45 minutes in a non-smoking meeting, I would agree to just about anything… if they would just let me take a quick break (this was not a good negotiating tactic).

I also found that I didn’t really enjoy smoking any more. I just had to smoke. I was addicted to smoking cigarettes. And the coughing that came with it didn’t make me feel better either. I made the decision that I was going to quit.

There are many reasons to quit.

- You will have more money for things that you do enjoy (cigarettes are expensive!).

- You will not stink to your non-smoking friends (yes, I know you can’t smell it, but they can).

- You will get your sense of smell back (I didn’t even know mine was gone until a few weeks after I quit, I started smelling things again. What a pleasure!).

- You will be healthier. (I am told that after 10 years, an ex-smoker’s lungs are about as healthy as a non-smoker’s).

- If you’re a lady, maybe you don’t want to develop those wrinkles around your mouth.

- Ultimately, you will feel better, have more energy, and live longer.

You may have other reasons…

If you really want to quit, for your own reasons, I can tell you how I did it, and how you can do it, too.

Some of the things I will suggest are the exact opposite of what others say to do. I am not a doctor, or a psychologist. I am not giving medical or psychological advice. I am just telling you what worked for me. I quit on Saturday, Feb 22, 1992 and I haven’t had more than 6 cigarettes since. (I had those with my Mother when my Dad passed away).

Ready?

Step 1: You have to decide that, this time, you are going to do it. “There is no try, there is only do, or not do”. (I thought that was an ancient Chinese proverb, but someone told me it came from Star Wars). Regardless, either decide you are really going to quit, or don’t put yourself through the pain of trying.

Step 2: Decide on a nicotine-containing product to help you with the withdrawal. There is a real physical addiction to smoking, and you should get help with that. I used the Nicoderm patches. In those days, you needed a prescription for them. It was a 10 week program. The large size for 6 weeks, the medium size for 2 weeks, and the small size for 2 weeks. The patches have the advantage of giving you the nicotine without you doing anything that reinforces the habit (chewing the gum, “smoking” the fake cigarette, etc). At the same time, it gives you the mental strength to know that you are only fighting the mental habits (which is no small feat), not the physical issues too. If you have questions about this one, ask your doctor.

Step 3: Decide when you are going to quit. I purposely decided on Saturday at noon. I could smoke as much as I wanted until then. (And believe me, I did! I sat in a chair and smoked and smoked until noon.)

Step 4: On the designated day, throw out all cigarettes, except for one unopened pack. You don’t need them anymore, right? So, throw them out. The one unopened pack is to remind you that this is a choice that you have made. No one is making you quit, it is your own choice.

Step 5: Keep it a secret. This is where I differ from most people who would give you advice. To me, keeping it a secret gave it power. While inside my head I would be screaming “I need a smoke!!!”, on the outside I would play a game. “Would these people notice that I am not smoking? I mean, how could they not? They never saw me without a cigarette before!” I was surprised how long it took most people to notice. If they did notice, I would very casually say, “No, not right now… “. That kept the game going. It was powerful!

The other reason to keep it a secret, is that well-meaning, non-smoking friends will try and encourage you. They mean well, but they really have no idea what you are going through, and so their advice seems hollow and useless. Maybe that’s just me…

Step 6: Do not allow the internal argument about smoking. When you quit smoking, you will almost certainly begin to have internal dialog, usually depicted by the devil sitting on your shoulder talking to you.

It goes something like this:

devil: “A cigarette would sure taste good now, wouldn’t it?”

You: “Yes it would, but I’ve quit smoking and I’m not going to have one!”

devil: “If it would taste so good, then why not?”

You: “Because I want to feel better.”

devil: “Oh, so you feel a lot better now, huh?”

You: “Actually, no, I feel like @#$%^*!”

devil: “Just 1 cigarette will make you feel better. You can cut down… then quit.”

You: “Well… I guess 1 wouldn’t hurt”

To me, this is the single most important step, and it’s the reason that I call this the “Nancy Reagan approach”. Ms. Reagan started the slogan “Just Say No!” Please don’t dismiss this as just a shallow slogan. Hear me out.

You must not allow this inner conversation to take place. If you do, there is a very good chance that you will lose. What I did, and what I suggest that you do, whenever this conversation starts in your head, immediately just say the word “No!” and force yourself to think about something else. Do not let that conversation begin. You will have to do this many times… that devil (a.k.a. your habit) is very persistent. And it will come at you when you are the weakest. Just say “No!”

Step 7: Make the rule for yourself that “Anything goes, as long as it’s not a cigarette.” You can eat, run, exercise, take a vacation, swim, drink, watch tv, shop… anything as long as it’s not a cigarette.

One thing I did was to eat sunflower seeds in the shell. That kept my hands and my mouth busy. I also took my family to the lake for weekend vacations… boating, walking… etc.

Looking back, I really don’t think I could have done it without this rule. But I have to be honest… for me it did have one undesired side effect. Since I mostly used eating to compensate for not smoking, I gained weight. Given the choice, it is a trade that I would make again, though. I watched my Mother gasp for air, unable to breathe properly for the last three years of her life (it’s like drowning very slowly… a very unpleasant way to go) because of cigarettes.

Maybe you can make this step work for you without the weight gain… or work on the weight issue after you’ve quit smoking. The point is… you chose to quit smoking, whatever it takes.

OK, that’s it. After you get through the hardest part (for me it was about 10 weeks), life begins to get good again. One day, I noticed that I could smell things again (and I found out why people say that smoking stinks). And food tastes better. And I could go the distance in long business negotiations. And I will more likely live long enough to play with my grandchildren (if I ever have any).

Good Luck! If I can do it, You can do it!

See you in the non-smoking section!

How to Use Nlp to Break the Cigarette Smoking Habit

Alan B. Densky, CH asked:


The average person tries to quit smoking between four to six times before they beat the addiction. If you have tried gum, patches, prescriptions or willpower alone without success, make your final attempt stick with stop smoking hypnosis.

Of all of the ways to quit smoking, hypnosis is truly the most simple and has the most successful track record. If you are willing to consistently listen to and watch CDs and DVDs specifically created to curb your cravings to smoke, then quit smoking hypnosis will work for you.

Many smokers think that they are unable to quit smoking because of their nicotine addiction, but that simply is not true. Medical experts agree that after seven to ten days – even as soon as three days – all nicotine has been eliminated from the system, which leaves smokers to work with the more difficult and far reaching emotional and psychological addiction to smoking cigarettes.

There are various ways to quit smoking, but just one method can address both the emotional compulsion and the cravings: stop smoking hypnosis CDs. Many people who have a strong desire to quit still end up asking themselves, “Why can’t I simply quit smoking?”

For hypnotherapists, the answer is clear. The part of you that will not let you quit smoking is your unconscious mind. You can’t alter your unconscious by force of will or with a patch, prescription or gum. You require the right kind of help.

In order to quit smoking, support is imperative, but most people do not realize that the best support comes from within their own unconscious mind. Hypnosis is the most effective process to ensure that your whole psyche is united to help you stop smoking. That’s because hypnosis provides a powerful method of communicating with your unconscious.

Stop smoking hypnosis helps you eliminate the urge to smoke by removing the desire to light up. When the compulsion and urge to smoke are subtracted, quitting becomes a straightforward choice that you can make without difficulty. The best stop smoking hypnosis programs are effective because they address the most powerful parts of the smoking addiction.

The first part of a successful stop smoking hypnosis program addresses the desire to smoke for pleasure and relaxation. This precedent was actually founded when you were an infant. Most likely, when you were cranky, your mother or father put a bottle in your mouth. Then your attention got diverted; you relaxed and probably fell asleep. Cigarette smokers obtain the same calming effect from a cigarette.

With quit smoking hypnosis, the unconscious mind is reprogrammed to receive pleasure and relaxation by unconsciously replacing stress-inducing thoughts with calming thoughts instead, all via the use of the very same triggers that previously made you anxious. This makes the tension almost magically disappear. Furthermore, the very core of hypnosis is relaxation. So by listening to a calming hypnotherapy CD daily, stress levels will quickly diminish.

The second part of an effective stop smoking hypnosis program will help you deal with the habituation, or the “Habit.” Habituation happens when the unconscious mind makes an association between smoking and other behaviors, such as watching TV or driving. Perhaps the second that you turn on the television you are fighting with a craving to smoke.

An effective stop smoking hypnosis DVD or CD will reprogram your unconscious associations so that watching TV, for example, actually makes you want to NOT smoke! This is known as, no pun intended, extinguishing a conditioned response.

Here is a news flash! The physical nicotine addiction is only about ten percent of the addiction. Ninety percent of the addiction to cigarettes comes from the emotional and mental components that we’ve looked at thus far. And as stated earlier in this article, medical experts maintain that the body is clear of nicotine in as little as three days.

People who use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and quit smoking hypnosis CDs and DVDs find that when their smoking associations and reliance on cigarettes for relaxation have been reprogrammed, the physical addiction is actually such a minuscule part of their smoking problem, that it has no impact on their ability to quit smoking without enduring withdrawal.

Now, I must inform you that despite the unprecedented success that clients have had with stop smoking hypnosis and NLP CDs and DVDs, you must hold the desire to quit smoking prior to starting a program. And as well as the desire to quit smoking, you must make an honest decision to quit. That means that you must be ready and willing to throw your cigarettes away.

Hypnosis CDs and DVDs can’t be used to force you to do something you don’t want to do, so no program can coerce you to quit. But if you have the desire to quit smoking, and you make a determination to quit smoking, hypnosis will help you to remain relaxed and not suffer from tension, cravings, or withdrawal symptoms. Let hypnosis and NLP give you the support you need.
