Mark Marino asked:
I am glad to tell you that I quit smoking with low level laser therapy successfully. I was a smoker in the past but I decided to stop smoking when I grew tired of the persistent cough, morning hacking and weakness of breath when climbing the stairs. I tried to quit smoking cold turkey and I lasted for 1 day. The cravings for nicotine were overwhelming and I could not stop myself and started smoking again the very next day. I told to my friend that I wanted to stop smoking but could not succeed. He said I would stop smoking with stop smoking laser.
I acted upon his advice and I was able to quit smoking with low level laser therapy. The process of the stop smoking laser is very simple. The laser stimulates the nerves which starts producing more endorphins in your body. The production of endorphins during the stop smoking laser treatment removes the desire of smoking from the human body. Therefore, a person stops smoking by the stop smoking laser immediately after treatment. The process of stop smoking by stop smoking laser is totally pain free. A person does not feel any pain during the stop smoking laser treatment. They also suffer from no adverse side effects as they typically do from other stop smoking treatments such as pills, patches, gums and shots.
I was afraid of pain which I thought I will have to tolerate during the quit smoking laser therapy but many people told me that they had not felt any pain at all during quit smoking laser. At last, I made an appointment to get the stop smoking laser treatment and now I can say that I am a non-smoker thanks to the quit smoking low level laser therapy.
I had doubt in my mind and was not sure I will quit smoking with low level laser therapy but when I was treated with the quit smoking laser, I no desire to smoke a cigarette. The quit smoking laser is not expensive and for me, the cost of the quit smoking laser was much less than what I would pay for cigarettes within a month.
I quit smoking with low level laser therapy and I shall suggest to you that if you are a smoker, you may get rid of your smoking habit by the laser treatment for quitting smoking. If you get treatment with the laser therapy, you will lose the physical cravings for nicotine.
If you have decided to stop smoking with the low level laser therapy, you should consult your doctor first before having the laser therapy treatment. If your doctor allows you to have the laser therapy after having check up of your whole body, you may have low level laser therapy. Patients suffering from diseases like cancer, pace maker, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and a few more must not have laser therapy. Pregnant women must avoid laser therapy for quitting smoking.
You must stop smoking as it is not harmful only for you but also for other people too who are present in your surroundings. Smoking is responsible for many harmful diseases which can disable or kill you. If you want to save your life, you must stop smoking by laser therapy for quitting smoking.
Smoking and Infertility: What Happens in the Body

Brian Welsch asked:
There could be many different causes for infertility in women. Sometimes a woman has a problem with their ovaries or uterus. There also could be problems with other parts of the body such as hormone levels that will hinder the chances of a woman getting pregnant. But there are also outside factors that could contribute to infertility. And smoking is one of the those factors.
Why Smoking And Infertility Are Linked
There have been major studies done on the topic of smoking and infertility. More than 20 of these studies have linked smoking and infertility together. The reasons for this are the evidence and smoking and infertility causing many adverse affects on the body. Smoke also contains several hundred substances that are toxic to the human body. This is one of the major reasons that fertility is less likely in a woman who smokes.
Smoking can also cause effects on the eggs that will disrupt maturation and halt fertilization and ovulation rates. The less a woman ovulates when they are supposed to, the less chance that the woman can become pregnant. Smoking and infertility are not just linked in the affects of the quality of the eggs in the ovaries, but also the quantity. Less eggs will also greatly reduces the percentage that a woman would be able to get pregnant each month.
Smoking also has an effect on the follicles that are needed in order to stimulate in vitro fertilization. So if a woman who smokes thinks that she can get pregnant easier with fertility treatments, she will need to think again. A lower number of eggs and the lesser quality of healthy eggs combined with in vitro fertilization does not make a good percentage of the ability for the woman to get pregnant. IVF treatments are 2.7 times more likely to succeed with a healthy, non-smoker than with a smoker.
Other Problems With Smoking And Infertility
But smoking and infertility are not the only links in this discussion. Smoking while pregnant is also a major issue for not just the mother, but the baby as well. There are many adverse affects to a fetus that is exposed to nicotine while in the womb. The can be born with a low birth weight, nicotine addiction, and there can be adverse affects years after the baby is born. There could be learning and developmental problems depending on how much smoke the baby was exposed to in the womb.
If you do find out that smoking and infertility are not a problem for you, you will still want to quite smoking as soon as you find out that you are pregnant. You will also want to limit your exposure to second hand smoke, not only for the baby, but to also keep you on track with your smoking habit.
Reducing Your Chances Of Smoking And Infertility Problems
If you want to reduce the adverse affects that smoking can lead to, you will want to quit smoking as soon as possible. Once a woman quite smoking, their body begins to repair the damage that smoking caused. This is a gradual process, so quitting smoking today will not lead to pregnancy tomorrow.
But once you have decided that you want to have a baby, you will want to immediately quite smoking. And infertility issues may not go away if they were not originally linked to smoking, but you are giving yourself a better chance of getting pregnant if you keep your body smoke free. There’s nothing like being a mother, so let yourself have the chance to do it right and not have to deal with smoking and infertility issues.
Why Do Smokers Chain Smoke?

Anthony Schneider asked:
y noticed that one of my clients (Let’s call her Maria for the sake of this article) at my teaching profession was going through a common phase amongst people who want to stop smoking and finally escape from nicotine addiction, where they start to become frustrated, angry, desperate, unhappy, or annoyed with themselves that they smoke. But because of the lack of education about why she was a smoker and what the nicotine was doing to her, plus the true fact that she had not achieved that true desire that is needed to stop, she was going through an emotional rollercoaster, what I have named as “Panicotine Syndrome” ©
This phase will eventually present itself to all smokers who have their two cents worth upstairs and they realise that they truly are mugs for smoking and they want out. But before I continue with telling you about my “Client” above, I would like to touch on a couple of things if I may. Wanting out of this wonderfully designed poisonous trap is great, however, unless you, the smoker who wants to quit smoking, puts in to practice a couple of crucial things then this phase will be about as far as you get in your quest to quit smoking before you roll back down the hill and light up another cigarette once again.
The point here is this:-
Nothing objective can be achieved without preperation or plan and the desire to endure all that presents itself during execution. The needed desire to see it through and succeed is only a desire that differs from any previous half hearted ones that the person with a true objective has had.
What I mean is this…You will always be a smoker unless you know completely why you do it and what makes you do it. When you know this, and have that superior desire, a little support, you too can walk away from the prison of nicotine addiction easily. I did, thousands of others did too. You are no different.
But when the “Panicotine Syndrome” © phase comes along to you, what will you do?
Lets get back to Maria…
We finished our meeting and with another client we headed off to a local cafeteria for a beer and some tapas. Now if you dont know , in Spain, if you are not a smoker then you may feel somewhat alienated because the majority of the population here smoke. They are all professional nicotine addicts thru and thru …and proud of it. The level of tobacco company brainwashing has peaked to the max here and it’s a pity.
We found a bar..I braced myself and thought ok ..I can suffer this for an hour so as not to be unsocial. The moment we walked through the “puerta” Maria started fumbling inside her handbag and drew out the marlboro lights. Before the order had left my lips she was puffing away like it there was no tomorrow. Ok so..I didnt say anything when the blue poison started to drift up my nostrils as Maria knows that I have a few things to say about smokers and smoking, she fanned the smoke away from my face with a wink and a smile. We clinked our glasses and drank. We spoke about the “Global Crisis” whilst munching away on small cuts of Spanish tortilla. Ten minutes had passed and it was a nice relief to have a glass of beer and some tapas. Then Maria Lit another cigarette and I frowned. I frowned because I was a little taken aback by the short time between this one and the one before. This social gathering of ours went on for about an hour or so as we had a couple more drinks and some more “Spanish Culinary Delights”
But during this hour Maria smoked 4 cigarettes and when we left and she got in her car another one found its way between her lips and a lighter.
Why?
Why did Maria have to smoke all those cigarettes in such a short time? Even when Maria and the majority of all smoker know how bad it is for them, they still continue to have bouts of chain smoking. Some smokers smoke cigarettes like this for weeks, months or years. Why? The true answer is Maria and other smokers that do this, are trapped in realms of nicotine addiction. Nothing more, Nothing less. Additionally, tagged to the answer is that because of this evil addiction, Maria and smokers alike have a proven misconception of two things. First of all that the cigarette is actually doing them something good ( see my List Of Excuses Post ) when in reality it’s doing the complete opposite. And that the smoking of a cigarette is helping them overcome some kind of boredom that in the eyes of a smoker is apparantely physically fixed with a cigarette, when the true fact that boredom is really just a state of mind.
Maria and all smokers are being fooled constantly by the power of this poison (nicotine) and the tobacco companies and our beloved media showing and convincing smokers that social events can only be enjoyed with a smoke. The more you smoke the more fun you will have. (And the more money we make while you are killing yourself..now thats fun) The more they use it the more they are fooled. They are fooled into believing that social events are not only enjoyable but cool.
Have you ever heard so much puppydoo in your life?
Maria has developed a tolerance and a fear to smoking cigarettes like all nicotine addicts do. It’s addiction shrouded by feel good buzzes, hits lifts, boosts or whatever a smoker claims to get when inhaling the poisons. The tolerance of nicotine which or wonderful, complex bodies can withstand up to a point, and the illusionary fear that life will be terrible if she decided to quit smoking and become a normal human being.
Maria probably was tired, maybe stressed from personal issues, enjoying the atmosphere and the drinks, thinking about what to wear tonight, bored, needed to have a better opportunity to taste the beer. Whatever was going through Maria’s mind-life during that hour was surely not in her eyes something called “nicotine addiction-where the substance makes think that the more you use it, the more you benefit from it”
This is the brainwashing we have in our society.
There is no need as a human being and for Maria to live a normal, healthy life to use cigarettes. It is the truth and I am a product with millions of people too of that truth. If you chain smoke then the more you do it the more you are addicted. The good thing is that you can stop smoking, stop chain smoking, if you have the desire and the know how as to why you smoke tobacco.
Smoking cigarettes creates the ongoing need for the next one.
Break the chain and live again.

My Stop Smoking Laser Experience

gladys906 asked:
I was a smoker in the past. I do not smoke now as I have stopped smoking by stop smoking laser therapy treatment. My stop smoking laser experience is a remarkable experience. I did not face any difficulty during the stop smoking laser treatment because no drug was used and I didn’t use nicotine replacement therapy the during stop smoking laser treatment. My stop smoking laser experience did not leave any side effects on my body but made my body healthy because no smoking desire burns in me now.
I was initially afraid of the quit smoking laser until I spoke to someone that quit smoking laser is an ideal treatment for smokers and they stop smoking when they are treated. I had many doubts in my mind related to quit smoking laser but as I was tired of my smoking habit and wanted to get rid of it, I decided to have the quit smoking laser treatment.
One can stop smoking by the laser treatment which is specially done for helping the smokers to quit smoking. Every smoker will like to have laser treatment when he will come to know about the side effect of smoking, think about the cigarette costs per month, price of laser therapy for quitting smoking and when he will think about the easy steps of quitting with the quit smoking laser.
Let me share my own experience completely with you all. I sat down in a comfortable chair and was given a dark pair of glasses to wear to avoid the laser light. They pointed a red laser at various meridian points on my face, hands, and wrists. It was extremely relaxing and I did not feel awful pain as I was expecting to feel. The purpose of stimulating the nerves was that they would increase the production of endorphins in my body. It was told to me during my treatment that the endorphin production would help me to reduce my depression and nicotine carvings.
I was treated with the laser therapy for stopping smoking habit within 2 stages. In the first stage, I was helped about detoxification and in the second stage; I was treated to reduce my depression and nicotine carvings. I was treated friendly during the laser therapy.
All this made my laser therapy for quitting smoking experience easy and I got rid of my smoking habit permanently. After my experience of having the laser therapy, I keep distance from smoking now because I am aware of harmful disadvantages of smoking now. I will suggest you that you must too have the laser therapy for quitting smoking because smoking is a very dangerous habit and does not affect you only but also other people of your surroundings. The laser therapy treatment is painless and cheap by price.
There are many smokers in this world including me who have very pleasant experience about stop smoking laser and you should be one of us if you smoke. Get rid of your smoking habit permanently by the laser therapy treatment for quitting smoking. I have shared my pleasant experience of quitting smoking with you and I hope that you can get treated with the quit smoking laser too.
Creating Motivation To Stop Smoking
March 4, 2009 by admin
Filed under Quit Smoking Articles
Alan Densky asked:
There are two mental states that must be contented before a smoker will voluntarily quit smoking. These essentials are called “Desire,” and “Decision.”
DESIRE: A want, crave or a wish for
DECISION: Making up of one’s mind / a verdict or judgment
In order to quit smoking, you have to DESIRE to quit. You probably want to quit smoking, at least some part of you does, or you wouldn’t be reading this article.
In addition, in order to quit smoking, you have to DECIDE to give up the smoking addiction. Since you haven’t quit smoking, it simply means that you have not DECIDED to quit smoking yet.
So what you need is to feel a strong motivation to make a “DECISION” to quit smoking.
MOTIVATION, we all want it. The source of each of our motivations is a belief. Think about it, if you didn’t have a belief that you would be hurt if you jumped from a tall building, then you would not feel motivated to be alert. If you did not believe that the gnawing sensation in your stomach meant that you were hungry, you would not feel motivated to eat.
When it comes to giving up the cigarette addiction, people who smoke need to feel a lot of motivation to make the DECISION to quit. Motivation is based on the ideas that we believe. So you will need to figure out exactly what ideas would motivate you if you believed them. Because when you feel powerfully motivated, you will quit smoking.
Thanks to NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and hypnosis for motivation, it’s much easier to learn how to believe these new ideas than you think it is. However, you don’t believe the ideas that will motivate you to quit smoking at this point, or you would have already quit smoking cigarettes.
For the purpose of this discussion, we need to define a few words.
DOUBT: Uncertain/distrustful/dubious – “maybe it’s this way, and maybe it is not.”
BELIEF: Trust/faith/tenet – A state of mind devoid of all doubt. In other words, belief means, “this is the way that it is.”
HIGHLY VALUED CRITERIA: What is most important to you, as an individual human being.
When you believe that if you continue to smoke your highly valued criterion is jeopardized, you will feel the motivation that you require to break your smoking addiction. We call this a negative motivator, because it’s a belief that motivates by giving you bad sensations. Negative motivators are great for getting you to make decisions and changes in your life.
When you believe that if you do quit smoking, your highly valued criteria will become enhanced, you will also feel the motivation that you require to quit smoking. This is a positive motivator, because it motivates you by promising good feelings if you quit smoking.
The first assignment is for you to figure out what the most essential aspects of your life are. Your most highly valued criteria are usually intangibles. For example: Money would not be highly valued criteria, but the freedom, fun, or security that money can purchase would be. Write your list of highly valued criteria down on a piece of paper.
Next you need to DECIDE what you would need to believe to feel motivated to break the habit. Here is the good news, sort of: Logic has nothing to do with belief. Things don’t have to be logical for a person to believe them. As a matter of fact, they rarely are. So do not worry about logic!
The format for your negative motivator beliefs will be: “I believe that if I continue to smoke, something horrible will happen to my most highly valued criteria.”
Make sure that you frame your motivators in the positive. In other words, always state what you want or what will happen. Never state what will not happen. Eliminate the “not” word from the beliefs.
In this example we will say that your children’s welfare is your most highly valued criteria.
WRONG: “I believe that if I continue to smoke, I won’t be doing my kid’s health any good.”
CORRECT: “I believe that if I continue to smoke, my secondhand smoke will make my children sick.”
Next, create a list of positive motivators. “I believe that if I quit smoking: (something very important will be enhanced).”
WRONG: “I believe that if I stop smoking, I won’t make my kids sick.”
CORRECT: “I believe that if I quit smoking, my kids will be safe because I will eliminate their exposure to the dangers of my secondhand smoke.”
The next step is to change the computer codes in your brain to make yourself actually believe these motivational ideas. Now for a bombshell: Your beliefs have nothing to do with what is real. Instead, your beliefs have everything to do with your perception of reality. In other words, it has a lot to do with the way that you see things.
Our belief systems are located in our subconscious. The subconscious mind is like a computer. Computers do not reason. The input to a computer controls the output from a computer. To demonstrate, I want you to think of something that you already believe without the slightest bit of doubt. Make it a belief that makes you feel good.
For instance, it’s easy for most people to believe that they love their kids. If that is true for you, make a mental image that lets you experience that feeling of love.
I’m going to ask some questions, and there are not any correct or incorrect answers.
Is your mental image a moving picture, or a still?
Is it in color, or in black and white?
Is it close or far?
Is it focused or fuzzy?
Is it normally bright, overly bright, or dim?
Is there a border on it?
Is it borderless?
Is it a panorama?
It does not matter what your answers are write them down. These are the computer codes that your subconscious uses to make you feel your feelings of belief. In this case they are the mental codes for positive belief, because you have chosen a belief that gives you a positive feeling. You have just calibrated your positive belief.
All positive belief pictures are bright and focused. If yours are not, then you probably do not really have total belief. An element of doubt is probably present. So find another belief to calibrate.
If you think of something that you doubt, and you make a mental image of it, one or more of these computer codes will probably be different. Similarly, if you have a belief that gives you a negative feeling, (a negative belief): one or more of those codes will be different.
In NLP we call these particular computer codes visual submodalities.
Now you will need to calibrate a negative belief. So repeat the same exact process, but do so using an idea that you already believe, that makes you feel ghastly.
Once you have calibrated both your positive and your negative beliefs, it’s a simple issue to manipulate what you believe so you can motivate yourself to DECIDE to quit smoking.
So, to summarize, using the above example: “I believe that if I continue to smoke, my secondhand smoke will ruin my kid’s health.”
1. Become aware of how motivated you feel to quit smoking.
2. Make a mental image that illustrates the above belief.
3. Adjust the computer codes (visual submodalities) of the image so that they match the codes from your calibrated negative belief image.
4. If you are right handed, move your eyeballs (and your mental picture) up to your left and hold it there for five seconds. If you are left handed, go up to the right. This will help you to quickly memorize the belief.
5. Now sense how well motivated you feel to quit smoking. Do you feel more motivated? Do you feel less motivated? Or are your feelings the same?
By utilizing this system you can make yourself believe almost anything by making an image in your mind that illustrates your new idea and then adjusting your mental image to make it match your calibrated belief pictures.
And if you have a belief that is holding you back, you can use the same technique to change that belief to doubt by changing one or two of the submodalities and memorizing it that way.
Now that you can motivate yourself to DECIDE to quit, you will quit smoking. A DECISION to quit means: I’m quitting no matter what it takes. If you are similar to most, you will not want quitting to feel painful. The good news is that you will not have to suffer. Because there are several hypnotic and NLP methods that can greatly reduce, or even completely eliminate the discomforts of withdrawal from the cigarette smoking addiction.
Stop Smoking – 10 Ways

Wayne Cooper asked:
Stop Smoking for good is the way to go! Smokers also need to realize the ill effects of smoking, as it has an adverse effect on the nervous system. It damages the nerves and causes harm to the immune system. It is rightly said, that first people take to smoking and then it takes over them. People start with smoking one cigarette a day, which slowly increases with each passing day. The temptation of smoking urges a smoker to smoke every hour of the day. Smoking actually takes the smoker for a ride. In the beginning, smokers feel good, when they smoke as according to them, it delivers a fashion statement. Later on, it develops into addiction. At this stage, it becomes almost impossible for the smoker to stop smoking and do away with the habit completely. Hence, below are 10 ways to stop smoking effectively.
Nongovernmental organizations or popularly the NGOs are doing their best to eradicate this social evil. Individuals may seek the help of such institutions to give up smoking. Even family members, coworkers and friends might prove supportive.
Top 10 Ways to Stop Smoking:
1. Support group: To stop smoking, smokers may resort to local support groups, who provide expert counseling to do away with smoking. Support groups hold group meetings, where people with similar views discuss over global issues. They try to locate the root cause of a problem and come out with solutions for it. They equip themselves with statistical data and inform people about how smoking causes injury to the human system.
2. Cold turkey: Individuals may stop smoking using cold turkey method. It is all about using the willpower to avoid the dependence on cigarettes. Many smokers have found this method beneficial with reduction in their craving for cigarettes.
3. Hypnosis: It is the best way to stop smoking. Here, the therapists reprogram an individual’s subconscious mind. This scientific method has proven beneficial as compared to any other chemical-based treatment to stop smoking.
4. Nicotine patch: Studies note use of nicotine patch makes quitting cigarette possible. It offers the body with a transdermal nicotine feed. It fights the strong influences of nicotine that rule the mind and body for years ever since the first cigarette smoked.
5. Rehab Drugs: Individuals may switch to several rehab drugs or pills to stop smoking.
6. Go the Holistic Way: Holistic approach can also help to stop smoking, as it controls the mind, spirit and body of a smoker and limits the need to light up a cigarette.
7. Acupuncture: Smokers may go through the process of acupuncture to stop smoking. Acupuncture targets three areas of the body namely the kidney, liver and the nervous system. It aims at healing the body through detoxification.
8. Nicotine gum: Smokers may chew the nicotine gums that come in many flavors. Nicotine gum lessens the urge to smoke.
9. Buddy system: Individuals may invite their friends in a no-smoking campaign, which influences other smokers to quit smoking. Avoid going where smoking is frequent. Count on the days as the cravings for cigarette lessens until the addiction is finally abandoned.
10. Harmless cigarettes: Smokers may also consider this method to quit smoking. These types of cigarettes are actually smokeless cigarettes.
