put
a Stop on cigarette smoking is not easy. For most tobacco users,
tobacco cravings or else urges to smoke can be powerful. But you are
not at the mercy of these tobacco cravings. When an urge to use
tobacco strikes, remember that even though it may possibly be
intense, it will be short lived, and it probably will pass within a
few minutes whether or not you smoke a cigarette or else take a dip
of chewing tobacco. Each time you resist a tobacco craving, you're
one step closer to stopping smoking or else other tobacco use for
good. But it can be difficult.
When
you stop smoking, you are likely to get symptoms which may possibly
consist of: nausea that means feeling sick, headaches, anxiety,
irritability, craving, and just feeling awful. These symptoms are
caused by the lack of nicotine that your body has been used to. They
tend to peak after 12-24 hours, and then gradually ease over 2-4
weeks.
Set
a date for Quit smoking,
and stop completely. Some people prefer the idea of cutting down
gradually. On the other hand side,
research has shown that if you smoke fewer cigarettes than usual, you
are likely to smoke more of each cigarette, and nicotine levels
remain nearly the same. Therefore, it is usually best to stop once
and for all from a set date.
Food.
Some people worry about gaining weight when they give up smoking, as
the appetite may improve. Anticipate an increase in appetite, and try
not to rise up
fatty or else sugary
foods as snacks. Try sugar free gum and fruit instead.
Take
one day at a time. Mark off each successful day on a calender. Look
at it when you feel tempted to smoke and tell yourself that you do
not want to start all over again.
Be
positive always and
confidential that you can successfully quit smoking.
You can tell people that you don't smoke. You will smell better.
Subsequent to
a few weeks you should feel better, taste your food more, and cough
less. You will have more money. Perhaps put away the money, which you
would have spent on cigarettes, for treats. Always start your new
life with a sense of excitement and enjoyment. Give
yourself rewards for milestones like1
week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, etc.
Find
a medication or a doctor help to quit cigarette smoking. Nicotine
replacement therapy is one option. Nicotine patches release a steady
stream of nicotine into your bloodstream all
the way through your skin, and
nicotine gum delivers nicotine through the lining in your mouth.
Other forms of nicotine replacement therapy contains
nicotine sprays and inhalers that as
well work by delivering nicotine
to your body. Alternatively, discuss
with your doctor about
prescription medications to help you quit.
Use
a cigarette substitute like mints, sunflower seeds, toothpicks, and
coffee stirrers to help you get used to not smoking. When you were
smoking, your mind and body became accustomed to the physical act of
smoking, holding the cigarette in your hand, and putting it to your
lips using harmless substitutes eases the psychological transition to
not smoking.
Get
out and about. Doing things to distract you from smoking is a good
idea. Play a sport, go to the movies, walk along the beach, catch up
with smoke-free friends for a gaming session, etc.
You
might be able to stop the cravings by doing twenty push ups or else
brushing your teeth whenever you experience a craving.
Place
a big fat rubber band on your wrist. Every time you get a craving,
pull the rubber band back and snap your wrist, the trigger sensation
goes away with the sting of the snap.
Replace
smoking by drinking water heavily, be careful not to drink too much
or it will make your stomach look like a balloon for a few weeks. You
may need to stay close to a bathroom.
Have a low calorie mint
instead of a dirty, stinky cigarette.
