The Healthy World Is Waiting For You After You Quit Tobacco

by John Curter Dewloper
It does not matter how many times you have tried to quit smoking in the past, this time will be THE time that you are successful. You need to be mentally prepared, recognize triggers, and have a plan in place that will have you smelling fresh for the days ahead. Read on if you want to know the best ways to beat this habit.
Deal with nicotine withdrawal. Once you quit smoking, nicotine withdrawal can make you anxious, frustrated, or depressed. It's all too easy to revert to your old habit. Nicotine replacement therapy can really help to relieve these symptoms. Whether it's in the form of gum, a patch, or a lozenge, using one of these will probably double your chances of succeeding.
Write down the reasons why you want to quit smoking. Post the list someplace where you'll see it every day, to help keep you motivated. Include not only the reasons that directly benefit you, but also the reasons that quitting will benefit your friends and family. Being able to read your list every day will remind you of why you stopped smoking in the first place.

Using some type of nicotine replacement is a good way to slowly ease your addiction to smoking when you're trying to quit. Nicotine replacements come in many forms, including lozenges, gum, and patches that can be worn on the body. These products give your body a small dose of nicotine, which eases cravings for using tobacco products.

If you want to quit smoking, don't do it. Quitting smoking are two words that imply losing something, making it a grieving process. Instead, psychologically embrace tobacco freedom. Don't think about how you would make anyone else happy, but what would make you happy if you were free from cigarettes. What could you do with that money and time?

  1. When you're ready to quit smoking, and have a plan in place to do so, set a firm date after which you won't smoke anymore. Prepare for the date, and make a big deal out of it. Think of it as the day when you regain control of your life, and make it a joyous occasion.
  2. The best way to quit for good is to quit for the right reasons. You should not quit for the people around you. You should quit for yourself. You should make a decision that you want to live a happier, healthier lifestyle and stick to it. This is the best way to ensure success.
  3. It can be easier to quit smoking if you are able to articulate exactly why you want to quit. Try writing down a list of all of the reasons that you should quit smoking. This can include the benefits you will experience, people in your life, or any reasons at all that are important to you.

There is no easy way to quit smoking. But if you are truly dedicated to getting rid of this habit once and for all, then put the tips that have been provided to you to good use. A day at a time, sometimes even an hour at a time, is the mentality that will get you through.
