Affect
of Smoking on Mother’s Womb
Smoking is much
dangerous for a pregnant woman than any other person. Smoking affects your
unborn child. If you are going to plan your family or are already pregnant,
then you need to concentrate on facts related to smoking. A Mother always wants
to give a healthy and fit life to her baby. But continuing with your smoking
are you really fulfilling your wish?
When you take a
puff then the smoke that you inhale goes into your baby’s body. It affects his
weight resulting into less resistant body. Smoking affects his height too. Such
babies whose mothers had smoked during their pregnancies are generally short in
height. This possibility is much less in
case of the women who smoke a full pack during pregnancy. At this stage even no
physician suggests to continue this habit. Baby’s body needs more supply of
oxygen to survive in mother’s womb. Supply of nicotine deprives a baby to
consume his share of oxygen. Such children are not able to adjust socially than
children of non smoking mothers.
Studies show
that possibility of infant morality is 50 percent higher when the mother smokes
than in case of non -smoking mothers. Children of many smokers die of sudden
infant death syndrome, or crib death. If pregnant women stop smoking by their
fourth month of pregnancy then still they are out of danger zone.
Parenting is a
tough job. If you do not sound well in your health then how will you be able to
take care of your child? Most women suffer from lung cancer that is a deadly
disease. A child always seeks for his mother’s shelter. If you want to be there
all time for your child, then you need to stop smoking at once.
Passive smokers
are more prone to the diseases than chain smokers are. This applies on children
also. As a matter of fact, they are too sensitive to problems raised by the
passive smoking.
By quitting the
smoking you are rendering a new life to your child. You and your child both
will enjoy a healthy lifestyle. Quitting smoking is not an easy thing to do for
the usual smokers. But alternatives will certainly work for you. There are many
support centers that can help you out. Just enroll yourself in them. You can

under misconception and take smoking as a hobby. According to recent studies
conducted by AMA, Am
Smoking problem
It has become an
accepted fact worldwide that cigarette smoking is the main agent of avoidable
and premature death rate. It results in one in five deaths in
If we exclude
adult deaths which is commonly a result of secondhand smoke, we see that both
adult males and females have lost on an around 13 to14 years of their life
expectancy. If this pace of consummation of tobacco goes on then approximately
6.4 million children will loose their lives prematurely. Economy has to endure
the expenditure of over $100 billions in health care costs annually which
results in loss of productivity including the death rate and medical expenses.
Smoking has direct relation to the sources causing the lung cancer, emphysema
and chronic bronchitis.
The primary
cause of the death in U.S is cardiovascular disease which is again partially an
outcome of the tobacco use. A survey shows the deaths of 65000 women who died
of the lung cancer and 85000 men who died of lung and bronchus diseases. This
shows that smoking is much injurious to health than the most people are aware
about its harmful effects. This data should act as a statuary warning for
people but instead of becoming aware they get back to the same habit again.
Some people do
want to quit smoking and some even tries to make an attempt which is good starting for a good cause as done in
2001 by many people but to increase this
figure it is essential that the victims should be encourage so that he may get
counted in the list of successful.
Believe
In Facts
Everything in
this world is made for a purpose, so do the tobacco. Tobacco serves several
medicinal purposes, but its wrong use has created more wrong than right. We
human beings are responsible in converting the blessings of God into a Curse.
We often read in
newspaper, serious warnings from health ministry about the hazards of smoking.
For instance, smokers die young as compare to non-smokers. Instead of these
warnings, there is a considerable increment in the number of smokers.
A recent survey

places, health experts and Doctors are demanding complete ban on smoking. Due
to growing death rate of passive smokers, they are demanding certain rules and
regulations for their protection.
There are
several causes of death such as household structure, unemployment, passive
smoking and active smoking. On the base of researches done over the causes of
death, it has been found that smoking is the main cause.
Tobacco one of
the main ingredients of smoking is already causing a lot of harm. But, still
its producers are making a lot of money from its farming. Tobacco is nothing
but death of our loved ones; still we love to have it. We are spending a lot of
money in buying this poison. Over the cigarette pack, it is clearly written
that ‘Cigarette smoking is injurious to health’. Still we go for it and the
cigarette companies are making a lot of money form our death.
When all of us
know, that cigarette smoking is dangerous and harmful for health then why do
not we quit it. A few significant steps are also needed from the side of the
government. They need to ban all the products related to addiction such as
cocaine, heroin, Indian hemp etc.
Moreover, we
also need a powerful determination of quitting smoking. Based on a few
misconceptions, we should not make a fool of ourselves that we cannot quit.
Make your mind clear from all the wrong beliefs and determine that ‘I will
never smoke’.

major pollutants that produce ill effects on cognitive skills and health and
oxygen is one of the most vital substances which are necessary for survival.

give birth to serious problems.
We increase our energy levels by
smoothing the passage of oxygen as we curtail the level of carbon monoxide by
quitting smoking.
Let us next analyze what happens
after 24 hours of quitting smoking;
Not smoking for 24 hours is a
marvelous starting for the chain smokers that provides them strong bearing
power, less level of fatigue after exercise and quick recovery.

Developing
A Habit Can Be Dangerous
Many people are
well aware of disadvantages that are caused by smoking, still smoking is a
problem. Few of them are able to give up the habit. Studies show that reason
behind is myth of addictions.
Addicts love
nicotine and think it is not allowing them to quit smoking. It is a
physiological addiction. The physical suffering intensifies if body has to wait
for the fix it is longing for irrespective of the fact whether person is
awakened or sleeping. People of
There are many
chain smokers who smoke 30 cigarettes a day not because of their body craving
for nicotine but because they have become habitual. They need it to satisfy
their habit.
Heroine addicts
are the worst sufferers. They have to indulge themselves in crimes like
robbery, stealing because they have not got the cash to fulfill their body
longing. Under certain circumstances some people has to go for smoking and once
you inject this habit in yourself, it becomes passion for you. This is what clinical addiction does and
tobacco manufacturers take advantage of this blaming entirely to habits.
An interesting
reality is that when we continue smoking the effect of drug lessens but arouses
a psychological need for more doses to increase effects. This is how; we become
mere puppets of our own body.
Smoking is a
problem of mind and not of body. It is not an easy habit to get rid of. If we can make our body understand to quit
habit in flight hours then why can not we make it understand it at other
events?
The answer is
habit has an environmental trigger. It switches on picking up the phone, on
sitting in car, after meals etc. Smokers
think that smoking gives them pleasure. Studies show that quitting smoking is
an easy task. Hypnotherapy is an effective means by which people can quit
smoking easily.
A smoker is just
as a driver of a car whop always presses the brakes whenever any car comes in
front of his car irrespective of the fact that his own car is not started. This
happens because of habit. Quitting habit is much difficult than quitting anything
else.
Do
you still want to switch onto smoking after knowing these side effects?
Necessity For Expecting mothers
God has bestowed
all His blessing on Mother by giving her a chance to nurture one more life in
her body .Then why they want to become life snatchers to their child only for
the sake of a bad habit?
Expecting
mothers should at once stop smoking as it can prove very dangerous for your
unborn. It is vital to quit this worst habit prior knowing about pregnancy as
well as during pregnancy. Consummation of alcohol and smoking contaminates baby
food due to which the risk of birth defects is more. A little carelessness can
result in irreparable losses. Timely care will definitely help to get rid of
worries. A visit to health care is must at this stage. No physician prescribes
to continue habit of consuming alcohol so it becomes all more necessary to quit
this habit.
Bestowing a safe
life to the baby is responsibility that falls on shoulder of mother. Would be
mothers must be aware of the facts relating to healthy stay of their child.
Women who continue to smoke during pregnancy are literally giving a slow poison
treatment to themselves as well as to their baby.. Smoking affects your unborn
fetus resulting in various respiratory defects in child later on in his life
stages. When baby is in mother’s womb, his body parts are attached to his
mother parts. Anything which mother eats goes directly in baby’s body. When a
pregnant woman smokes then baby gets less oxygen than he usually would. We all
know oxygen is the most vital thing to ensure survival. But smoking deprives
the child of a healthy stay. Less supply of oxygen results in irregular
development of baby body parts and also contributes to preterm labor, hence is
threatening to his life.
Consulting a physician:
At this stage it
is essential for you to pay a visit to your health care provider.
Your physician
will design a time table for you that would be feasible and easy to adopt.

habits ensuring a safe life to your child. There are many helping aids

everything.

Does
Smoking Rob You Of Your Facial Charm?
Good and healthy
skin is one thing that everyone wants to have. Skin originates from within. The
food that we eat gets broken into simpler substances and nutrients. These
nutrients and oxygen get mix with blood and are transported to all our body
parts through thousands of bloodstreams. Larger parts of these nutrients get
absorbed by the skin which is essential for healthy stay of our body cells.
Internal health
and external beauty are two sides of the same coin. We get oxygen naturally
through our breathing but smoking results in inhaling of harmful carbon
monoxide. Cigarettes not only contain carbon monoxide but also contain
poisonous gases like ammonia, butane, nicotine, carbolic acid, formic aldehyde,
prussic acid, pyridine, parvoline, arsenic and cadmium. Carbon monoxide, the
most intoxicated gas mixes with the hemoglobin present in the blood. Our blood
cells absorb carbon monoxide gas much faster than oxygen. In this way carbon
monoxide displaces oxygen in large quantity depriving our skin cells of their
healthy life. Skin and smoking are inversely related with each other.
Skin has its own
repairing system. Smoking destroys its natural system and results in premature
aging. At this stage skin loses its natural glow and charm and develops a pale
look.
These outcomes
on the skin are catastrophic. Smoking deprives skin of vitamin C which is an
essential vitamin. Moreover it is an unstable vitamin and cannot be produce by
body. Vitamin C helps the skin inn generating new healthy cells giving the skin
a youthful look. Breaking of the collagen results in wrinkles.
You have often
noticed that chain smokers usually have sunken eyes and dark circles around
their eyes. It is because smoking damages the cells making it scaly and causing
wrinkles. It does show its effect on lips also making the lips black and
robbing them of their natural appearance.
People spent
much money on cigarettes and tobacco which gives them nothing but diseases and
side effects. Each one of us know that smoking is injurious to health still we
are not able to favour our self by quitting our worst habit.. Instead of
depriving our self of healthy and natural glow, we can spend that much amount
on facials and good skin rejuvenators. Taking a balanced diet, rich in fibers
help in elimination of wastes resulting in healthy skin.
Educate
Your Child On Smoking
Studies show
adults can quit smoking under care of a counselor and physician. But this
possibility is next to impossible with teenagers. Pre- teen age is an age in
which we want to gain each and every experience whether good or bad. Our habits
start forming at this stage like smoking. Most of us take first puff only to
boast it about to our friends and later on it becomes a harmful habit. Some
steps can help parents to ensure safety of their child:
- Generally a child learns from the habits of his
parents. If you are a smoker then the foremost step needs to be taken by
you. Get yourself free from the smoking habit and try to figure out the
bad effects of smoking in front of your child. If a child sees his parents
using good manners like eating healthy food then he is likely to follow
those good habits. On the contrary if he sees his parents smoking, he
surely takes up that. Only verbal explanation would not help. You have to
practically put them.
- Talk to your kids. You can start with explaining them
functions of heart and lungs and how bad habits harm their smooth
functioning. Insert a mental picture of the outcomes. Instead of praising
the smoking trend, try to criticize actors who smoke in movies and T.V
programs. Make sure you do that in front of your kids.
- Tell him about the harmful effects that
smoking leads to like it blocks the bloodstreams, robs the face charm,
causes pale look. Try to encourage kids more abut good habits by telling
them about its consequences like healthy skin, active body, physical fitness.
- Help your child to get involve in the activities in
which they are interested. A child should learn to develop an optimist
point of view towards life. Encourage them to make good friends and not to
get involve in bad company. Appreciate your youngsters on their good deeds
and also not forget to scold them on their bad ones. Do not pamper them.
Your child should be able to judge between right and wrong so they are
able to say no to their bad habits when the trying time comes.
- Spend some good time with your ward. Be aware of your
child activities. Talk to him about different topics. Start with asking
him how he spent his day. All you need is the tact to handle your kid with
care.

things are a little tough to you. But, if you make yourself mentally strong and
do certain planning, then definitely you are going to quit it. A smoker woman
if quits before conceiving then the weight of the baby will be same as of the
non-smoker woman’s baby. Moreover, if a smoker woman quits smoking during the
initial phases of pregnancy then your baby will be quite normal and you are
saving him from many severe diseases.
After the birth
of baby, do not start smoking again. The baby is always closer to the mother
and indirectly you are passing all the bad effects of smoke into him. So, never
think that it is too late now to quit. Whenever you feel that, I must quit now
that is the best time to quit.
Some deadly
diseases, which you are passing to your baby directly, but unknowingly:
Abruption is
caused because of nicotine that at an early period separates fetus from
placenta. This could also result in the death of the baby.
Vasoconstriction
is the narrowing of the blood vessels, which are carrying food and oxygen to
the baby. It also damages the placenta, which is actually a link between mother
and the baby. Due to smoking of the mother, baby weighs less than the normal
baby does.
Your smoking
habit will also degrade your child performance in school. There is the danger
of leukemia, due to mother’s smoking habit. There are also dangers of attack of
pediatric asthma and other kinds of allergies to the baby. There are also
several cases of Infant death due to smoking mother.
In spite of such
a long list of bad effects on the baby, if the mother still prefers to smoke
then you must be ashamed of yourself. Your smoking habit is killing you and
your baby. So, determine to quit smoking and bless your child with healthy and
long life.
Getting
Familiar With The Working Of Smoking
You know that with
each puff of a cigarette, you send a definite amount of nicotine to your brain.
Nicotine is a quick acting drug than heroine. It injects addiction into the
veins. When a person begins his cigarette, the level of blood goes down to half
within the time limit of half an hour and more than half within an hour.
Smoker suffers
different symptoms after extinguishing his puff as the nicotine starts to leave
the blood stream quickly. The restless feeling starts overpowering his mind
arousing a desire to have one more cigarette. To satisfy his longing he puffs
more and for 5-6 minutes, the craving ends. In this way smoker gets the fresh
supply of nicotine. This is not the end. The mechanism is like a vicious
circle, a never ending process. We need to break this chain but again the
question arises HOW?
It is our
mistake that we take nicotine for an order that has to carry out. Actually it
is nothing but a monster which requests its food after every minute. We do not
need to obey it all the time. But still we do. It can be term as a panic which
after some time sends message to the brain to demand more of it. Puffing smoke, we expose ourselves to
thousands of harmful chemicals, some of which causes cancer. Smoking also
increases our heart beat rate. Smoker soon gets prone to different cancers than
a non smoker does.
Studies show
women who smokes are 20 times more prone to cancer than men are. Breast cancer
is one of the worst forms of cancer that generally makes women its victim.
Smokers have to
bear the pain of heart attack as the smoke which they inhale blocks the heart
veins. Blockage of vein results in fast supply of blood and ultimately an
attack.
A severe attack
sometimes results into death. Finally we become food of the monster. We can do everything to save ourselves but
still we are incapable of escaping. There are so many ways which can help us a
lot like exercise, taking a nutritious diet rich in fibers that helps in
elimination of wastes. We awake when we come face to face with the problem and
that delay causes us to suffer whole life.
Good
Bye Smoking
After a long
time, you have finally decided to say good-bye to smoking. Good-bye to smoking
means, a complete change in your way of living. Now, your first job is to bring
a change in your normal routine.
You need to
develop a brand new atmosphere for you. Developing a new atmosphere is also a
part of exercise in quitting smoking. Make everything around you such that it
will give a fresh feeling to you. For Instance, if you often smoke near the
telephone then change its place.
Set a new
timetable for you. Include the visit to gym in your daily routine. If going to
gym is not possible then go for a morning walk or jog. This is the healthiest
way for the beginning of the day.
Take care that
getting started is easy, but making it a routine is a little tough.
People often
begin in a great way, such as buying tracksuits, gym wear or running shoes and
enjoy a lot the earlier days in gym. But, as the time passes they take it as a
burden and find it difficult to manage their time for gym.
There is a
common mistake done by most of us. We go to gym, in evening. In evening, we are
completely tired and no more enthusiasm is left on us. So, it would be
beneficial to go the gym in the morning. In the morning, we are fresh after a
long rest. Secondly, exercise enhances the flow of blood in the body and gives
us more energy. Moreover, our exercise program will not effect in the morning
and we can make plan for the day.
Fresher should
do exercise under the expert guidance. A professional trainer is must for a
proper start. One can also go for a few simple exercises that do not need any
trainer. Swimming and walking are also the best form of exercises. You only
need to get up early in the morning and enjoy the fresh and pollution-less
city.
Go for tea
instead of coffee, clean your houses and try to divert from everything that
reminds you of smoking.
Do something
interesting in evening, but take care not to play on money. Create a list of
those things that stresses you and try to avoid them completely. Never make
excuses for smoking. For instance, stress is the most common excuse. But you
can de-stress yourself by doing something more creative such as breathing
exercises or meditating.
Thus, apply
these steps in your routine and say good-bye to smoking.
Handling
the Pain
When you ask
smokers the cause for their smoking, their instant reply will be to de-stress.
Suppose your three-year-old toddler is crying for a toy. How would you react?
You will give him the toy, leave him, or give him some drugs to keep him calm.
Similarly, your child is anxious about the coming tournament. In order to calm
him down, you will advise him, or give him some kind of drugs.
In all the above
said examples, the child is suffering from some kind of pain or anxiety. You
can control the temper of your child by a little advise, support and assurance.
The cause for their anxiety is the demands during the development phase. When
we grow physically, emotionally, academically or spiritually, we experiences
anxiety. We should never take our growing phase as burden. All of us have the
tendency to become sad or feeling pain or anxiety. But, we must try to overcome
this attitude. We can never be happy without this growth. Growth plays
significant part for our contentment and happiness.
We can never
introduce our child to this deadly addiction, as we are well aware of its
consequences. Do you think it is good to smoke for attaining relief?
Smokers make
several excuses for smoking. For Instance, feeling lonely or having a lot of
job stress. One of the several common excuses of smoker is that there is no fun
in social gathering without smoking. This clearly shows that smokers make
excuses to smoke. They smoke in stress as well as fun.
Women often say
that quitting smoking means putting a lot of weight. Do you think it is a
justified cause to smoke?
Smokers are well
aware that smoking is injurious. Thus, to divert their minds they make such
excuses. The cause for these false excuses is the addiction of nicotine.
Once
you quit the smoking habit, you will realize that smoking only harms. It does
not help you from overcoming the stress. But, it is the cause for several
deadly diseases. Even after quitting smoking, you may tempt to have a
cigarette. You may be tempted at social gatherings or feeling lonely or sad.
Before taking cigarette, remember that smoking is nothing but killing oneself.
It never helps you. It only harms you and makes you weak.
Whenever
you want to smoke, just give a few seconds to yourself. You will realize the
blunder, you are about to commit.
Hookah:
Another name of Smoking Equipment
Smoking a Hookah
is a very slow and comfortable experience of smoking. Smoking hookah demands a
little preparation. You need to prepare tobacco. It is not similar to nicotine
addiction or the puff of cigarette. But, it is like relaxing among your friends.
People continue to smoke hookah for 30 to 60 minutes.
The preparation
for Hookah smoking goes like this. Firstly, cleaning of Hookah is done with
cold water. Then select a bowl of tobacco, light it and add charcoal to it. The
aroma of hookah will come out through the bubbling water. After filtering it
with water, it becomes cool and soft. The pleasant smoke of hookah will charge
up the senses.
Certain
techniques are also applied to enhance the experience of hookah smoking, such
as putting ice in the water or chilling of the hoses. Addition of fruit juice
or wine in the water leads to enhance the flavor of hookah smoke. To develop a
special flavor, customers as well as the manufacturers mix tobacco with other
flavors.
But, before
smoking Hookah take these precautions and steps. Charcoal used in the Hookah
should be appropriate, as there are certain harmful charcoal briquettes that
can lead to intake of carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. Take a little quantity
of Hookah tobacco in the bowl. Some people add more tobacco to enhance the
flavor of Hookah, but it is a wrong notion. If you are not getting the desired
flavor then it is because of less heated coals. Add more fresh and hot coals
and enjoy flavor of Hookah smoking.
Hookah smoking
is mostly done among friends and family members. It is more or less like a
culture or tradition. Thus, Hookah smoking has certain rules and regulations.
For Instance, Charcoal heat should never be utilized for lighting cigarettes.
On another person’s face, never blow smoke. But, if the person demands and want
to enjoy the flavor then you can blow the smoke. Never share the plastic
mouthpiece with other person. When a person set a hose on the table that means
he had finished smoking. Now, other person can use the hose. Wrap the hoses
around the stem, after the completion of hookah smoking. While smoking hookah
only go for tobacco.
So, enjoy the
Hookah smoking with your friends.
How
Non Smoker Get Breast Cancer?
Some people have
taken smoking for fashion but this trend of theirs can lead them at the
threshold of most ugly form of cancer-Breast cancer. The studies and researches
draw a line between truth and myth. One
of existing misconceptions is the myth that young men generally get addicted
fast to smoking. But it has been found that young women adapt this bad habit
much quickly than young men. The next horrid conclusion that comes forward is
that passive smoker is at high risk of breast cancer than chain smokers.
World health
organization shows us the true picture of smoking by associating it with 25
cancers like uterine, kidneys, cervix, and pancreas. Women and non smoker are
finding more prone to the breast cancer than any other form of cancer and
unfortunately sufferers’ list is going high day by day. It proves that smoking
is not only deteroiting chain smoker health but also showing its side effects
on health of persons standing near by him. For women, smoking is synonym of
death as it enhances the risk of heart strokes and heart attacks making them
the worst victim and the chances get ten fold if they are using medicines for
birth control along with smoking.
List of ill
effects produced by smoking never ends making it a never ending process. Smoker
take cigarette happily thinking that it will free them of tensions and stress
but it releases them of their life. Dull look is easily visible on face. They
soon develop wrinkles. They suffer of bad breath and yellow teeth and are ever
complaining about tongue and stomach ulcers.
Children adopt
bad habit more quickly than elders do. Parents who smoke inspire their wards to
follow their black footsteps by their wrong habit and setting wrong example for
them. Children of such parents can never differentiate between good and bad
because from their initial developing stage they have only seen bad deeds.
Smoking blocks
person thinking capacity. It makes one so much addicted that for every tense
stage in life he needs its help.
How
to Quit Smoking with the Help of Water Therapy
Like they say,
it is easier said than done. Likewise, it is easy to admonish someone who
smokes, or to ask him to quit the habit. Ask someone, who has quit smoking, how
hard it had been for him/her. The reply you get will help you understand the
almost super-human effort that goes into the entire process of quitting the
habit.
The urge to
smoke that one last cigarette is always there with people who have already quit
the habit. People who have quit active smoking for years report to have had
those occasional urges to smoke. Unfortunately, many, who after having
successfully quitted the habit, get back to smoking just because they could not
hold back the temptation of smoking that occasional cigarette their friend
offered. There is no point getting back
to square one after what a smoker goes through to quit smoking in the first place.
Those occasional urges need to be controlled strongly.
Thankfully,
smokers can opt for a very simple and inexpensive way out of this dilemma.
Water is said to help people get out of their craving for a smoke. The good
news is that it is helping fresh quitters during the initial weeks. People who
have been smoking for a long time get used to nicotine, a strong drug. When a
person quits smoking or is in the gradual process of quitting, the body craves
for nicotine it is used to having on an every day basis. Nicotine needs to be
flushed out of the system, which water can do rather effectively. The more the
water consumption, the more is the elimination of toxins. On an average, a
person who has that urge to smoke should double his intake of water. What is
thought more practical is a gradual reduction in the number of cigarettes a
person smokes. That way the body gets used to the lesser intake of nicotine on
an ongoing basis. Sudden quitting upsets the body and the resultant craving can
create more withdrawal symptoms. Headaches are one of the common symptoms of
withdrawal.
If you have quit
smoking, but gave in to the urge, do not feel guilty. All you need to do is
gulp down 3 or 4 glasses of water to flush out the toxins you introduced to the
body. Make a fresh resolution not to give into the urge again. When the urge is
on, remember not to give in to it. Instead, drink a few glasses of water
reminding yourself not to add more toxins to your system.
Hypnosis-
The
Smokers, who are
getting aware of the possible health hazards and want to quit smoke at any
cost, need not worry. There are several options for them. All of us know that
smoking is nothing but addiction of nicotine. There are several companies
manufacturing pills or nicotine replacement patches. These nicotine replacement
pills are quite helpful in quitting smoking. Apart from these pills, there is
one more option for quitting this addiction of nicotine. It is Hypnosis!
Most of the
smokers stop smoking for some time after using these products. However, after sometime they start smoking
again. The cause for again taking up smoking is that they were always conscious
of having replacement pills for smoking. This means they were always conscious
that smoking provides them something. Thus, the desire to smoke still exists in
them. On the other hand, Hypnosis completely changes the attitude of smoker
towards smoking. It put an end to the inner desire of the smoker for smoking. Once
the smoker put an end to his inner desire for smoking, then he will never take
up the cigarette again.
If you are a
little health conscious then you can understand the importance of Hypnosis
rather than nicotine replacement pills. The cause of your quitting smoking is
that you want your body to be healthy, free from all kinds of toxins. However,
nicotine is still getting entry into your body through the intake of these
pills. So, consider Hypnosis rather than pills.
Duration taken
by Hypnosis to quit smoking is quite shorter than the replacement pills. You
would be astonished to know that Hypnosis takes only one hour or less to quit
smoking completely. On the other hand, these replacement pills take many weeks.
In US, from your
taxes you can remove the cost of programs that you have attended for quitting
smoking. The cost of these programs can be added in the medical expenses
amounts.
There is no
provision for including the amount you have paid for drugs, in the medical
expenses. The cause for not including them in the medical expenses is that they
do not require any prescriptions. Thus, it would not be beneficial for you not
to buy these drugs.
Finally, the
result of Hypnosis on the smokers who wants to be a non-smoker is 70-80%. On
the other hand, result of nicotine replacement pill is 50-60%. The cause of
there low success rate is the inner consciousness of the user that, “I want to
smoke and so I am substituting it.” However, Hypnosis completely puts an end to
smoker’s inner consciousness and he never feels the desire to have it again.
KILL
YOUR ENEMY
People love
chewing tobacco, although it is the source of several diseases. Being a harmful
and toxic substance, tobacco is available everywhere. Moreover, there is no
crime in selling this toxic substance, as it is legal to sell. Appropriate
steps must be taken for banning this poison. It is like giving a license to
kill.
Tobacco has
harmed the humankind severely. Still no one is taking action against it. If the
government helps in the fight of injustice or against terrorism or any natural
or manmade calamity then why they are not paying concern to the tobacco. But,
before reforming of the whole society, one should reform oneself.
Do not love your
body?
You must know
that smoking cigarette means giving entry to 4000 toxic chemicals into your
body. You can imagine the amount of damage that these 4000 poisonous substances
can do. Think for a while, of pouring adulterated fuel or any other harmful
substances into your favorite car tank. You can easily estimate the damage you
have done to your car. Similarly, making the entry of 4000 poisonous substances
is like killing yourself.
Is it possible
for you to pour harmful substances into your car?
No, you cannot
do this to your car, then why you are doing this with you.
People are
unable to quit smoke due to several of misconceptions. It is nothing but the
addiction of nicotine that completely overpowers them.
For Instance,
smokers say smoking makes them feel nice, or the taste of tobacco is simply
great. There is one very common excuse for smoking is that to de-stress
oneself. Whenever smoker gets tired, he felt the desperate need of cigarette.
All these are
quite common excuses. Now, ask a non-smoker about these excuses of smoking. He
would certainly be happy without smoking, as it makes him fit and healthy.
If you really
want to quit smoking then simply decide not to smoke. Your own decision will
help you in quitting smoking. Even a chain smoker can quit smoke if he
determine firmly.
Just pay a
serious concern to a few issues.
The first thing
you must consider is your body; you must take care and keep it healthy.
Secondly,
decision to kill your enemy who is killing you.
Thirdly, cost
that smoking has caused for you. You have spent a lot on this poison. Lastly
forget the past that will help you in quit smoking. Just remember that nicotine
is my enemy and is killing me slowly.
Lame Excuses Never Work
It is not easy
for anyone to quit a habit quickly. One needs time and must be granted that
duration to help oneself, but what about those who love to continue with this
bad habit and even make excuses to retain it. It is common among chain smokers
to search for lame excuses. One such excuse is ‘Concentration Con’. A smoker
explains that a puff helps him to concentrate. This excuse does not have any
medical base but is just a fake explanation that renders a chance to the smoker
to continue smoking.
Every habitual
person who is in the process of getting rid of smoking has to face withdrawal
symptoms but may not last long. At times, the person becomes irksome and
restless. He takes this nature as a negative effect and again wants to have a
puff to feel at ease. But when this misconception unveils itself, we come
across a fact that smoking lessens the concentration power instead of enhancing
it. The ease that the smoker feels after puffing another cigarette is just an
effect of nicotine. Nicotine intoxicates the mind making it relax for a short
time. This way the person feels temporary pleasure and takes smoking as his
best buddy.
Nicotine works
in a vicious circle. Its effect goes on increasing and after some time comes to
the same point from where it has been started showing its black magic. Nicotine
holds a smoker in such a way that he begins craving for more and more dose. If the
smoker does not provide the requisite dose, he experiences restlessness. There
is a vast difference between concentration power of a smoker and that of a
non-smoker. It is an accepted fact that we derive less pleasure from the things
that we always have. The same happens with a chain smoker. He goes on puffing
and never reaches to a satisfaction level.
Doctors have
concluded that cigarettes block arteries and reduce supply of oxygen to the brain
due to which person lacks concentration. ‘Concentration Con’ is an outcome of
psychological perceptions of most of the smokers. Those who use this excuse to
shield their smoking need to be familiar with the underlying truth. Quitting
the habit of smoking helps a person to take out his thinking man out of the
smoke that has captured his mind. Veiling the smoking will not help. One needs
to come forward to escape this habit rather than continuing it with the help of
futile excuses.
Now
it’s Time to Think
Someone knowing
fully well that if he drives his car in high speed may lead to an serious
accident, still he does that. So it is like that you know smoking is bad for
you but still you enjoy smoking.
You have to make
up your mind to develop the desire to quit. You can now plan to draw up a list
of merits of your smoking. You can also make a list of de-merits of smoking
recently you experienced.
Be generous and
make list of most idealistic reason that could lead you to quit smoking. You
may like to prove yourself a great economist “save money for tomorrow”, “be
honest to your family”, “The most obedient husband” etc.
Go on reading
the lists everyday. It will motivate you fast to quit smoking.
Fix an
appointment with your physician to see a human lungs picture taken out of
smoker’s body. Ask your physician what good thing you are going to achieve
after you have given up smoking etc.
When you have a
definite desire to quit smoking you an really go through deeply with your list
of ‘benefits of smoking’. You may take a comparative statement how a non smoker
relives boredom while you cannot do without smoking what leads a non smoker to relax
and get away with stress etc.
You should be
careful enough to know that much of the positive parts of smoking are temporary
with no for reading results to yield good to you.

examined your benefits you get while you smoke but now is the time to workout
on replacement for your cigarettes by and by continue to receive benefits that
smoking was providing you. Have a see through within yourself and find out is

Quit smoking- Mission Impossible and
Making it possible
To leave one of
your favorite habits is really a very tough thing. Even, cutting up the
quantity is also a difficult thing to do. For Instance, after doing your check
up, your doctor has advised you to take little amount of sugar in your tea or
cut down the amount of salt in your food. Cutting the amount of either salt or
sugar is very tough; you will feel as you are going through a torture.
Similarly, if the lessening of amount is tough, then completely quitting up
your favorite time pass or habit sounds impossible.
One will feel
that he has been given a ‘mission impossible’ to accomplish. But, as we all
know that smoking is like a poison and its only work is to destroy the person,
who is having it with such a delight. The only thing one need is to determine

the smoker becomes addicted to it. Nicotine enhances the quantity of dopamine
in the body. When this dopamine enters the brain, the smoker gets a nice
feeling, due to its effect.
Sometimes,
experts advise to intake a little quantity of nicotine, until you get rid of it
completely. It is a slow but in the meanwhile an effective process in getting
rid of the smoking habit permanently. There are several products available in
the market that can replace nicotine, such as nicotine patch or gum. Apart from
all these options, the most important thing one must take care is the
determination of quitting it permanently.
One major
hindrance on your way to quit smoking is the routine you are following to
smoke. In your daily routine, you have given a special place to this habit.
While working in an office, you often smoke during intervals, or after dinner,
or having drinks in a party, or when doing nothing, just to pass your time.

lungs and hearts a new life.
Quit
smoking- Needs your determination
Is
it possible for a smoker to quit smoking?
It
is quite tough for a smoker to leave his/her beloved. After all beloved is the
one whom we cannot leave at any cost, at even our cost of life. But, do not you
think that this beloved of yours is slowly but steadily destroying you. All the
smokers are very well aware of all these things, but still they love to have
it. The best way to put an end to this growing menace is by putting an end to
its manufacturers.
Putting
an end to its manufacturing is not possible, as the manufacturers are earning
millions of dollars from these stupid smokers. We all know there will be no end
of smokers until there are cigarettes available. In the same manner, as long as
there are smokers, there are also the smokers who want to get rid of this bad
habit. Interestingly, many counselors, doctors and companies are offering new
ways of quitting this poison. Similarly, smokers are also of different
varieties. If certain idea is effective on one smoker that does not mean this
idea will work on the other smoker also. If such a thing happens then there
will be no smoker in the world. There will be only one treatment that will be
help the smoker in getting rid of it. The problem is that if something works
for one smoker then it is not sure that it will also work for the other smoker.
This is one of the main causes behind the ever-increasing smokers in the world.
Many
researches on medicines that will be helpful in quit smoking by the major drug
manufacturers, has not given the desired results. Millions of dollars have been
spent on the invention of new medicines that will be helpful for smokers.
However, this huge effort is only helpful for 20 to 50 percent of smokers.
These drugs are quite fruitful in quitting smoking habits permanently, but as
earlier said that there are different varieties of smokers. On some smokers
these drugs works, but on others, they are simply useless.
After
reading this, do not get disheartened. If someone is able to quit smoke with
the drugs is fine. On the other hand, if you are unable to quit smoking then
try some other way. There are millions of ways available, only thing that one
needs, is the attitude or your determination. If your determination is strong

Quitting
Smoking- A Personal Analysis
It is a fact
that smoking is more of psychological addiction than physical addiction. The
Nicotine addiction in your body can be controlled, but mind addiction is tough
to control.
One thing that
helps you in quitting smoking is a complete personal analysis.
Take a paper and
make two columns in it. In one column put heading, the cause for quitting. In
another column, write down the cause for taking up smoking.
Firstly, write
down the causes for taking up smoking. It may be some kind of pressure, or
family trouble or financial trouble or any other reason. Now, find out whether
these troubles still exist or not. If they do not, then there is no need to
smoke.
Now, write down
the causes for quitting smoking. It may due to the scare of deadly disease you
may get, or your fear of passing them to your family members. Thus, health is
one of the causes for quitting smoking.
However, it is
quite possible that health reasons will not convince you in quitting smoking.
They all have the possibilities. It is not sure that these things can happen.
Lung cancer might happen or you may die early.
There are
certain genuine causes that you are experiencing while smoking.
Write down those
causes in the second column. For instance, you experience breathlessness while
coming upstairs. Your feet are cold due to high blood pressure. You are always
suffering from cough and it makes you feel uncomfortable.
Apart from
health reasons, there are certain other reasons also. Such as, premature aging
and drying of skin are due to smoking. Your fingernails, teeth are of yellow
color and gives bad impression. When you smoke at public places, people make
faces at you. You are spending a lot on cigarettes along with the mouth
fresheners. You can save a huge amount by quitting smoking. You can use that
amount for a good purpose. You can go for a holiday.
Think about your
family. They would feel more secure, after your quitting smoking. Your house
would be clean, no dirtier walls, or stinking cars. Several genuine reasons are
there for quitting smoking.
Thus, you can
divert your mind easily by thinking these genuine effects of smoking. However,
your hands are still free. Try to make your hands busy by indulging it in some
activities, for Instance knitting, cooking etc.
So, do not waste
time and go ahead.
Quitting
Smoking-Using Thoughts
We are well
aware of the consequences of smoking. Still, we are unable to quit it. The
cause for unable to quit smoking is the addiction of nicotine, along with the
weak determination. A firm determination can make one able to leave this
addiction of nicotine far behind. You only need to play certain mind games, as
we all know that mind controls the body.
There are a few
examples of mind games. For Instance, you have decided to quit smoke, but your
decision is not firm. You have the habit to smoke with your friends. Before
meeting them, your mind has already started working. You would find it tough to
sit there without smoking. You would start feeling miserable and weak. You will
become frustrate by these thoughts. Finally, you will start smoking. One can
easily conclude that mind was the only thing that had prompted you in taking up
smoking again.
On the contrary,
you can avoid this situation. It only needs a little diversion of your mind. If
you divert your mind on some other thing then surely you can help yourself.
Along with the diversion, it need positive outlook on quitting smoking. Never
feel that life will be miserable without smoking, or it is impossible to quit
smoke.
Now, handle the
same situation in this manner. You are going to meet your friends. Your mind
will start working as usual. However, try to think positively. You should
consider it big achievement, if you do not smoke with your friends. Never feel
that life would be miserable, if you have not smoked. On the contrary, think
that you are blessing a healthy life to you, as well as your family. You are
able to breathe fresh air, after quitting smoking.
If you are
unable to resist the temptation at your friend’s place then do not go there. It
would be better for you to avoid that place. Try to do something creative that
will divert your mind completely.
Think about your
kids. Take your family for a long drive. The quality time that you spent with
them was more precious then wasting it by smoking with your friends. You will
find that you were actually making yourself a fool by indulging in smoking
activity.
Whenever your
urge for smoke grows, only think about its bad effects upon you. The smoke has
made you its slave. But, you have to overcome this slavery and quit smoking at
any cost, as smoking is costing you a lot.
READY,
STEADY AND GO
Half of your
battle is over, once you have decided to quit smoking. However, after the
decision of quitting smoking comes the much difficult part. The resisting of
temptations and it also needs your determination. Whenever you feel the desire
to smoke, just remember certain things and you can easily put an end to your
temptations.
Suppose, your
friends are smoking and inviting you to smoke then it would be better to leave
the place. After leaving that place, remember these things.
The Cause of Your Quitting
Simply start
thinking about the various reasons that lead you to quitting smoking. It would
be more beneficial, if you carry a paper and list all the causes. Now, if you
feel a craving for smoking then read the list of causes. After reading them,
you will overcome over the temptation.
Always Be Ready
After quitting
smoking, still you can meet temptation any time. It could be your friends or
any particular place. So, you must be ready for such instances. In a blank
paper, make two columns in it. On the first column, write the possible chances
that can lead you to smoke, such as watching TV or drinking tea. On the second
column, write the action that you will perform to divert the craving of
smoking. For Instance, you can read a newspaper if you feel the craving for
smoking. Try this formula and see it really works.
Water
If you are
feeling a strong urge to smoke then chew something. Chewing will definitely
consumes a lot of your time. After chewing, start drinking a glass of water
with the help of straw. While doing this you will forget the desire to smoke.
It would be beneficial if you drink 8 glasses of water.
Praise yourself
Whenever you
pass a non-smoking week, do not forget to praise yourself. Always decide
something in advance to gift yourself, after a non-smoking week. Write name of
the gift on the paper, along with the non-smoking period. This will increase
your spirit.
Divert Your Mind
You can divert
yourself by doing any other task. Make a cup of tea or read a newspaper.
A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed
Make a call to
your close friend or anyone who can talk to you for a while. You will forget
the craving for smoking while talking.
The Punch
Get a picture of
smoker’s lungs and always keep it with you. See the picture, when you feel the
craving for smoking.
Say
No to Cigarette
Smokers can give
an endless list of excuses for smoking. Such as, some gets energy from smoking.
Some look smart, when they smoke. Some are able to maintain their figure
because of smoking. Some smokes, as they are lonely and sad. Some smoke to
celebrate. This list of excuses never ends. There are some exceptional cases
also. Such as, a woman was suffering from chest pain after quitting smoking.
The chest pain was cured when she started smoking again.
However, none of
the given excuses is logical. There is only one reason for smoking. It is the
addiction. The addiction is more psychological than physical. Smokers are
actually addicted to those toxic chemical substances.
Nicotine is one
of the major components of addiction in Cigarette smoking. The smoker is unable
to get rid of this nicotine. The Nicotine is running in his blood level. When
the level of Nicotine decreases in the blood, he shows certain nicotine
withdrawal symptoms. The smoker smokes to cover up the deficiency of Nicotine
in the blood level.
This nicotine
withdrawal symptom clearly shows the cause for smoking relieving the stress.
Some physiological effects also occur due to stress, such as, the urine acidic.
Smoking helps in
calming them down is a general misconception. It does not reduce their stress.
On the contrary, it maintains the reducing level of nicotine in blood that make
them relieved.
Similarly,
consumption of Alcohol also enhances the level of smoking. The Nicotine level
drops and to compensate the dropping level smoker smokes a lot while drinking.
Thus, it is important for the smoker to know the real cause for their smoking.
It is not calming down their stress, but to maintain the level of poison in
their body. This thought will help the smoker to be an ex-smoker.
Once you have
decided to quit smoking from that very day this poison will start reducing in
your body. Make a promise not to touch it again. Within two weeks, this
poisonous substance nicotine will leave your body. You will experience no
nicotine withdrawal symptoms and would be able to live normally.
You will realize
the benefits of quitting smoking, only after quitting it. All the advantages of
smoking were nothing but misconceptions. You will get an independent feeling
within you. Now, you are no longer addict of anything.
However, the
ex-smokers have to take extra care. The moment they chew tobacco or taken a
single puff, you will become nicotine addict again. So, keep distance from
cigarette.
Smokers
and Ex-smokers
Smokers always
feel that smoking helps them in getting rid from unhappiness, stress, boredom,
anxiousness and loneliness. The life without a cigarette means complete boredom
and frustration. Most of the smokers feel that they will put on weight after
quitting cigarette. They can work faster and better after a puff of cigarette.
While smoking they can be more sociable. Smoking is also a way to celebrate on
special occasions. Smokers feel that everything loses its charm without
smoking. They are unable to enjoy social gathering, fun, games, drink, or even
the company of their spouse. According to this data of smokers, smoking has so
many great attributes.
However, one
more data contradicts this data. In
These people are
not mad, but they understood the disadvantages of smoking. They had also gone
through the painful withdrawal symptoms of Nicotine. Still, they managed all
the pain. They fought not only with the physical addiction, but also with the
psychological addiction. The psychological addiction is a little tough, but
they managed that too. They convinced themselves fully about the bad
consequences of smoking. This demands a lot of firm determination from their
side and a positive approach.
These smokers
must be appreciated for coming out from this addiction. The earlier phase of
quitting makes smoker a little insecure. However, you must have confidence on
yourself that it is possible to live without cigarettes.
Once come out of
the tight and dangerous grip of smoking. You will understand that you were on a
wrong track. You were living in the world of misconceptions. After quitting
smoking, they will realize that life without smoking is healthier, calmer and
beautiful.
It depends on
the ex-smoker, whether he/she wants to smoke again or not. Now, it demands a
logical reasoning from you. However, many smokers again start smoking. The
cause for their again taking up smoking is that they forgot the bad
consequences of smoking. There is one more cause of taking up smoking again is
the urge that they are unable to resist.
Therefore, all
ex-smokers have two choices, either to quit it or to start smoking again. It is
useless to be an occasional smoker, as it is also harming you a lot. Thus, make
a promise of not letting even a little bit of Nicotine into your body.
Smoking
- An Addiction or Phobia
Smoking a much
better talked about issue presently, is fast becoming an addiction with
smokers. Perhaps you never have thought on those lines simply because you felt
that smoking is an important part of your life style.
You may not
remember when started smoking; may be when you were very young or you were
thrilled when you saw your friends smoking. After a short period you may have
had the felling that you could not do with smoking, which must have had created
tension with you.
Later on, you
may have felt whatever your parents try to make you understand about the ill
effects of smoking on your health was right. You must have tried to get rid of
smoking but then you may have been unable to take a decision as to what may
happen to your smoking breaks.
The facts
findings show differences about smoking as an addition with every smoker. A
smoker would term smoking as a ‘stimulant’ or smoking which may provide him
extra energy or so. The smoker is totally unaware that the stimulant is simply
an addiction which is constantly completing him to remain hooked and not
allowing him to come out of it.
Adopt a positive
attitude, uncovering your self about smoking, its negative and positive effects
on you as you feel. Now if really care to take a close look at what happens to
you when you don’t smoke or don’t get cigarettes. You may fell lonely, bored; you
may feel irregularly; you feel you need to touched up with glow when you light
up a cigarette, so on and so forth. The non smokers on the other hand relax on
there own naturally, they don’t require a light up cigarette to relax. You may
go through some simple steps below to know about what you are addicted to and
how to combat it.
Ø
For a day or two whenever you smoke you write
down the feelings you had before smoking every cigarette. Not whether felt
bored, tired, and hungry, exhausted, or stress out.
Ø
Write down some ‘plus’ points you experienced
after smoking that cigarette, you may have felt sleepy, it may have helped you
to make up early or reduced your boredom.
Ø
If you review your list, you may find a pattern
to your addiction.
Ø
A total diversion of your thoughts, surely help
you distract your feeling of smoking.
Ø
It’s not that difficult to give up smoking if
you are sincere about it.
Smoking - Making A Fool Of Yourself
Whenever you
talk with a smoker and advise him/her to quit smoking, he/she will give
thousands of reasons of unable to quit smoking. For Instance, they consider
smoking as a thing that helps in de-stressing from anxiety. On the other hand,
it is impossible for them to resist the temptation of smoking. They had
included smoking in their daily routine. They are completely addicted to it.
Nicotine is the
substance of addiction. Experts consider nicotine as the most addictive
substance. In spite of this, they are unable to prove that nicotine can lead to
physical addiction. Nicotine does not lead to high physical addiction.
There are
certain substances such as Heroin, Cocaine that are highly addictive. When
addicts do not get the doses of Heroin and Cocaine, they becomes out of
control. They are unable to manage themselves without the intake of these
substances. On the other hand, if a smoker quits smoking then nothing happens
like this. Their bodies are in complete control. Several of smokers quit
smoking daily but they never experience any physical problems.
Even chain
smokers never smoke by waking up at night. But, a Heroin or Cocaine addict
often wakes up at night to have it. They are able to sleep only after having
it.
While watching a
movie in a theater a smoker can simply spend a couple of hours without having a
cigarette. This shows clearly that smoking is not at all a physical addiction.
But, there are smokers who claim that they cannot sit for such long hours without
cigarette. Thus, we can only say ‘Exceptions are always there’.
Now, one can
easily conclude that cigarette smoking is simply not addictive. If it leads to
certain addiction then you cannot live without it for long hours. Like in
several flights, smoking is prohibited or in various public places, you cannot
smoke.
You are making
yourself fool by assuring yourself that smoking is an addiction. Thus, you are
unable to quit it. Smoking Cigarette means killing yourself by inviting several
dreadful diseases. Smoking can only harm you, whether physically or
financially.
The ever-growing
Tobacco companies are the one, gaining from your smoking. They are only making
you fool by selling this poison to you. Along with these companies, you are
also making a fool of yourself. Before quitting smoking, smokers already
declare that they could not live without smoking.
Now whenever you
decide to quit then remind yourself only one thing. That quitting smoking will
not lead to any physical problems and it is not a physical addiction.
Smoking- A Never Ending Problem
In spite of so
much awareness about the ill effects of nicotine, smoking apparently continues
to chase everyone, everywhere. It not only influences our lifestyle but also
affects the lifestyle of our colleagues and family members. They too may become
part of this habit or psychological concerns that may result from this
addiction.
Earlier, smoking
was a craze among adults only but now teenagers too have joined the trend. A
surprising fact is that adults are more likely to quit smoking on being
encouraged by friends, family and counselors, but getting teenagers to quit
smoking is not all that easy. They start smoking under the influence of the
peer group or friends, and even if they try getting out of the addiction, the
same influences do not allow that to happen. Teenagers get well entrapped wherefrom
it is not that easy to escape.
Smoking is
making its presence felt in every sphere of our life, be it a school, home or
work area. It is more an addiction than habit and therefore no one is able to
escape its clutches in the first go.
Smoking is not
only injurious to health but to one’s wallet as well. Studies showing
expenditure made on the pack of cigarettes has come with stunning outcomes. A
person could have easily afforded a comfortable life with the money that one
wastes on buying these stuffs. But the thing is that we never think about such
consequences that are adversely affecting our life to a great extent.
In
Most of the
smokers are working hard to quit the habit of smoking but unfortunately, a few
of them are able to do it. Many counselors
have developed a program that has been proved successful for interested
volunteers. This ‘stop smoking’ program works according to the Behavior Theory.
It is different from other programs and helps a person not to depend on
cigarettes at every tense circumstance of his life. This way the smoker learns
to resist his cravings for another puff.
It has become
essential to take necessary steps to control smoking before we have any more
sufferers in its grasp. Friends, family and counselors can only suggest but one
has to take the initiative on one’s own to enter a healthy lifestyle.
Smoking:
A nurturer or a destroyer
Smokers are
generally very eager as well as anxious to quit smoking. Smoking has leaded
them at the threshold of many diseases like heart attacks, cancers, emphysema.
Most of the smokers know that smoking is rotting their body from inside and
slowly have started deteroiting their physical charm. Still smoking is their
buddy and still an existing problem. We need to search for the reason of its
existence.
Many smokers
associate several activities with their smoking. The lure of continuing those
activities persuades them to endure smoking as well. These activities include
their daily routine. For them, being a non smoker means that life has lost its
importance. Smokers also think that he has to come across painful symptoms
while working for quitting smoking. These reasons keep a smoker away from
taking up of good habits. They can die for smoking but are afraid to quit it.
If every one of
us starts following thinking of the above sited smokers, then life will
certainly lose its significance without smoking. Bit the fact is that they all
are living under misconceptions. They will live a better life after quitting
smoking than living with smoking. Pleasure that a smoker gets after the puffs
is a deceptive pleasure and just the effect of nicotine that blocks our
thinking power. Convincing smokers about this sometimes become next to
impossible. These pleasures work as a stopper for smokers.
When smokers get
out of their bed they feel slight headache, depressed that arouses a need for a
cigarette in them and they go for it. When he feels depressed then also he
feels for a cigarette or two to relax his nerves. Therefore he begins to expand
his friendship with this deadly drug. But these are the symptoms that are
taking them to their destruction.
If a smoker
starts giving some space for the realities then he can quit smoking. He himself
will be surprised to see the changes. He will feel taking up the things more
efficiently than before. Morning will bring a different freshness for him.
Feeling of panic reactions under the stress that were the outcome of the lower
level of the nicotine will not be scaring him anymore. And slowly he will see
the true face of smoking that once was his best buddy. Any ex smoker can
experience his growing strength, increased energy level than before when he was
a smoker.
Even his fear of
withdrawal symptoms will not last for many days. They would peak within three
days and will completely lose their existence in all more two weeks. He will
experience a simpler, happier, cleaner and above all a healthy life ahead of
him.
Smoking and Connected Diseases
A research
review reveals smoking and weight loss can never go together. The most talked
over issue of the day is obese population. The health care people are trying to
find out useful alternatives, towards obese along with important community. A
number of options have already come up to cope up obese, as fast as possible.
Some of concrete
truth about smoking and its co-related solution to the problem of excess of
body weight; have look over myths and reality about smoking in the next
paragraph.
A statistical
observation by US centers for disease control and prevention points out that
women are quitting smoking more in numbers than that of men. Data connected by
the centers put down the percentage of women smokers to 20%even below than that
in 2003 the figures of women smokers was only 19.2% compared to male smokers at
24.1%.
The opinion
holds that exposure to cigarette smoking may cause damage to woman fertility. A
study compiled about embryo quality and fertilization, divided into three
groups. Says there was clear evidence of differences in the pregnancy rates per
embryo transfer, it is around 48% with non smokers, the smokers around 19% and
with the others 20%.
Smoking and
impotence have practically no relationship. As of now it has been found that
cigarette smoking invites innumerable deadly disease like lung cancer, heart
disease emphysema, erectile dysfunction etc. the ill effects of smoking can
affect the digestive system and may be the cause of human importance.
To generalize
the facts quitting smoking will not lesson the importance. Men who have
erection problem may try to create some improvement by quitting smoking.
But according to
doctors once the spot is damaged it cannot be restored by quitting smoking.
Since everybody is different it may improve or even may not improve. The whole
world knows about Viagra for erection. For some owe it may not work, especially
to heart patients Viagra strictly forbidden.

Smoking
And Pregnancy
Smoking, as
such, is considered harmful for health. But, pregnancy is a state where one has
to be very particular about certain habits, including smoking. You might have
your reasons to smoke, but not at the cost of your health, and not at all at
your baby’s expense. Who would not love to have a healthy baby? May be, smoking
would-be mothers do not, or do they! If you are planning to have a baby, quit
the habit of smoking first. Do not play around with your and your child’s
health.
You may have a
look into the effects of smoking on pregnant mothers. Nicotine and carbon
monoxide are poisonous substances that can cause a lot of harm inside the body.
During pregnancy, smoking leads to increase in the levels of carbon monoxide
and nicotine in the mother’s bloodstream. These substances have frightening
effects on the mother’s body, as the blood vessels are constricted and
restricted, effecting the supply of oxygen and nutrients. The baby is denied
its full share of nutrients and oxygen, which hampers the growth of the baby.
You can compare the whole scenario to your being hungry and being offered an
insufficient amount of food laced with poisonous substances. When you smoke,
this is what exactly your baby experiences.
Babies born to
mothers who smoke during pregnancy are likely to be premature. If the pregnancy
lasts a full term, the baby may be born underweight and small. Such babies need
special care under medical supervision, which extends their stay in hospital.
During
pregnancy, the baby of a smoking mother is denied proper oxygen, which can lead
to miscarriages or fetal brain damage. Sudden infant death syndrome can be a
result of smoking, according to certain studies. Smoking is found to affect the
blood pressure of the developing baby. This adversely affects its development
and the child’s learning ability, like attention deficit disorder retarded
mental growth. The child may also develop respiratory problems like asthma,
when young.
Once your baby
is born, it still is needed to be protected from smoking. Smoking leads to
reduction in milk supply, and can hamper breastfeeding. Moreover, the baby gets
a fair dose of nicotine through breast milk, which can cause illness in the
form of diarrhea, nausea, colic etc. Second hand smoke is not good for the
baby, since it affects the lungs through the nicotine it inhales. You would not
like your baby to develop breathing problems.
Smoking
Has Tendency to Affect Your Spirits
People have
their own reasons to smoke.
Some people
smoke to relax and some to feel more alert when they feel dull. Some take up
smoking because they want to relax their nerves when feel stressed, bored or to
overcome their anger. A cigarette becomes their doctor, their buddy, their life.
It all happens because of chemicals present in cigarettes. These chemicals
result in psychological effects that they have on the nerves of a smoker.
The head of
these chemicals is Nicotine. It works as a stimulant. It has the same
components and functions that cocaine, amphetamine has. Smokers want to have a
boost up feeling when they feel depressed, irritated and frustrated. The
resistance to overcome all these feelings is provided by the nicotine. It also
increases their heart rate, blood pressure and breathing rate due to which a
smoker feels more alert than before. It helps in his spontaneous but deceptive
recovery. After sometime a smoker finds himself at the same point with more
deteroiting health. Cigarette has
products like acetaldehyde and carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is harmful of
all the substances. It makes one feel dull as if someone has locked you in the
stuffy room. These chemicals have property of reducing the tensions, anger and
irritation. They hold these feelings but not eliminate them. Something which is
suppressed comes out more strongly. This same case happens in smoking.
People smoke, when taking coffee, consuming
alcohol and eating desserts. It becomes a comfortable habit for them and they
start taking it for granted. A smoker gets involved in different fantasies as
he feels that his stress is bothering him less after a puff, he is able to
concentrate more.
Getting addicted
Initially
a smoker smokes for false pleasure but when he continues his habit, he does so
out of his habit for having nicotine. Until and unless he gets a dose of
nicotine, he can not work properly. He gets addicted to the deadly drug.
Need to understand
Try to
differentiate between feelings when you were craving for the puff and when you
have finished with your cigarette. The come up differences will make you
understand your position that later will help you to quit the smoking.
Smoking-
More a Habit, Less a Pleasure
Smokers failed
to experience desired pleasure from smoking. To get their intended bliss, they
keep on switching from one product to another when they feel that their brand
is not gratifying them anymore. Initially when smoker begins smoking, he
experiences warmth that seems him to fill their hollowness. Therefore they take this deadly drug as their
life long companion. This delight that they enjoy is nothing but a
pharmacological action of nicotine. It relaxes the smoker nerves depriving him
of his thinking power. Smoking gives him false impression of being confidant,
mature, and more social.
We all want to
escape the bad circumstance of our life. Similarly when a smoker wants to do
the same, smoking lends him a helping hand and gives all the false happiness to
him that he has always wanted. This forces him to puff more like 5 to 6
cigarettes a day. But gradually he gets dependent on the cigarettes. Then his
habit urges him to puff more not his problem. If he does not answer his urge
then he feels irritated, frustrated, nervous, angry, and nauseous and ignored.
To ease these symptoms he has to smoke and all the time he hopes that he will
get support from the cigarettes and that becomes dream for him. He does feel
better but only for a little time and after that blessed minutes the process
again shape up itself.
The
effects after quitting smoking bless him. He does not experience those horrible
urges, headaches and no longer does he get into those withdrawal symptoms. He
begins enjoying his liberty without worrying all time about need of smoking.
His headache also gives him the pleasure because now he knows that this
headache is a part of the process that ensures his healthy lifestyle.
But again
something happens inside him. He starts re-picturing the warmth given by his
best cigarette in his life. Long thinking about it forces him to focus on it
and to bring that same pleasure in his life again that he obeys. Once again he
got caught up in the same grip of an addiction. In this grip he smokes more and
enjoys it less. He wants to continue to survive in the same grip at the cost of
his liberty, his health and is life. Smokers who really want to enjoy their
life with its true meaning needs to concentrate on the side effects of smoking
otherwise they will find themselves at the threshold of the death.
Smoking-
Not a Solution
Stress is
directly proportional to smoking. All the smokers out there will agree with
this fact. It is a common slogan of all the smokers that because they smoke of
stress. But, this is a misconception. People often get stressed, due to their
smoking habit. Even after quitting smoking, smokers often start smoking. The
main causes for taking up smoking again are social gatherings, parties, stress
and alcohol.
There are
several smokers, who want to get rid of this deadly chemical. After few failed
attempts, they even say bye to smoking. But, after a certain period their urge
for smoking begins. They feel that life is boring without smoking. The
ex-smoker becomes nervous, upset and depress without smoking. These kinds of
depressions are one of the effects of not smoking.
In our daily
life, we experience stress everywhere. The stress can be job related or family
or friends or financial. In such stressful situations, the ex-smoker wants to
take the help of smoking. He would go for smoking, as he thinks it to be
helpful. However, this is a complete misconception of him.
For Instance,
you are having a lot of work pressure in the office. If you use to smoke
earlier, then you would immediately think of having cigarette.
Is it reasonable
of having cigarette in such a situation?
Instead of
organizing the schedule of your work, you are thinking about having cigarette.
Can you give any cause for having cigarette in this situation? Neither
cigarette can help you in easing the work pressure, nor can do the work. Thus,
there is no cause for smoking in such stressful situation. You are only making
a fool of yourself. You are again allowing the entry of numerous deadly
chemicals. These chemicals will result in harmful deadly diseases. Moreover,
your near amd dear ones are also being affected.
Thus, the job
stress is nothing in front of these deadly diseases. The smoking will make you
more anxious. It enhances the frustration. You will take another cigarette,
when the first one ends. In this way, you will start smoking again. You have
quitted smoking, after several failed and sincere attempts. But, due to certain
stress you are again taking it up. Even, if you are going through some major
crisis period, remember that smoking will not get the solution for you. Several
times, we are unable to handle our situations. Such as, death of a near one or
getting bankrupt, or major illness and ended up in taking cigarette. But,
always remember that smoking is not going to solve your problem.
Smoking-The
Game of Nicotine
Everyone is well
aware of the bad consequences of smoking, even the smokers. Still, they do not
quit smoking. One major cause for their not quitting smoking is their love for
smoking. Most of the smokers would agree to this fact that they love smoking. But,
do not you think it is a wrong word for smoking. It is actually a
misconception. The cause for their smoking do not depends on their love for
smoking. But, the real cause is that they do not like not smoking.

needs continuous doses of nicotine in his/her blood to behave normally. When
the level of nicotine decreases, the smoker would immediately smoke. After
smoking, the level of nicotine becomes normal and smoker would be automatically
normal. This is the only cause for smoking.
Nicotine should
be consumed up to a limit. The exceeding limit of nicotine content in your body
can do serious harm to your body. A successful smoker is the one, who is able
to manage the content of nicotine.
When smokers
decide to quit, they have to gone through several difficult phases.
They are well
aware of the pain that they are going to experience without smoking. The
earlier phases are very tough, as they have to face the problem due to
decreasing nicotine level. The urge for smoking will be too strong. But,
gradually their urge slows down. Smoker has the tendency to smoke frequently.
However, when the interval grows, they will be able to manage themselves
without smoking. In this way, one can quit smoke.
But, if you
continue smoking no one can help you. You need your help in quitting smoking.

of nicotine. This harmful fight costs your life as well as your bank balance.

money, you are also destroying your precious health.

smoke causes the entry of so many deadly chemicals in your body. Next time when
your urge for smoke arises, just remember these words.

The Deadly Secondhand Smoke
When a person
inhales smoke that comes out from the burning of tobacco is known as side
stream smoke. On the other hand, when a person inhales smoke while a person is
smoking is called the mainstream smoke. Both these types of smoking are called
Secondhand smoke or ETS.
Do you know the
number of poisonous substances we inhales while a person smokes?
The ETS mainly
consist of about 4000 poisonous substances. They make entry into our body and
40 among them can be carcinogens. Whether you are smoking or just inhaling the
smoke exhaled by a smoker, it does not matter. The consequences are dangerous
and lead to several respiratory problems.
ETS belongs to
the class of carcinogens. The amount of carcinogen in ETS is much higher. The
cause for high rate of carcinogen in ETS is that it is unfiltered. Thus, active
smoker is inhaling lower quantity of carcinogen than the ETS.
There are two
main places in cigarette that produces smoke. The tip of the cigarette is the
one from where smoke released. Secondly, the hot smoke releases through the
cigarette and its filter from the remaining part of the cigarette.
The major
portion of ETS incorporates cigarette’s burning tip. It is around 70 to 80
percent of ETS. The major components are nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide and
carcinogens. Thus, ETS is more harmful and deadly than the person smoking
directly.
There are
several hazards of Secondhand smoke. It causes eye irritation, sore throat,
dizziness, nausea, headache and cough. Apart from these effects, it also leads
to certain long-term illness. The major disease caused by it is the lung
cancer. When a non-smoker suffers from a deadly disease like lung cancer it is
because of Secondhand.
Based on recent survey, it is found that
hospitality workers have more chances of lung cancer. Those workers who are
more exposed to secondhand smoke have more chances of acquiring this deadly
disease.
Cardio vascular
problems are also one of the diseases caused by the secondhand smoke. Certain
chemicals block arteries and that leads to heart attack or hypertension. Asthma
and Breast cancer are also caused by secondhand smoke.
Your children
are also getting affected and have more chances of acquiring deadly diseases.
If a pregnant woman smokes then she
is harming her baby directly. The baby will be of low-weight; size of lungs
will be smaller and have more chances of tobacco addiction.
The
Psychological Therapy
Addiction of
smoking is actually the addiction of nicotine. Nicotine is the one that causes
addiction and makes difficult for people to quit smoking. There are several
nicotine replacement gum or patches are available in the market. Do you think
it to be reasonable of quitting smoking with the help of another nicotine
product?
Our main concern
is getting rid of nicotine and clearing our body from the nicotine. Making the
body completely free from nicotine is our real job. But, we are making another
way for nicotine in our body. Nicotine is the main cause for all cravings and temptations.
The first thing we must do is to throw nicotine out from the body. Its exit is
the only way to quit smoking.
Secondly,
nicotine gives calmness or de-stress our anxiety. It gives us light feeling or
generate nice feeling into us. So, we must look for a replacement at time of
anxiety. Try to divert your mind in something else, such as drinking water,
exercising, making a phone call or preparing a cup of tea.
Lastly, you need
to take care of this old habit. There must be certain places or people, where
you enjoying your smoking. Try to avoid this by doing something more creative.
Smoking becomes
the habit of smoker. It is a well known fact that habits are hard to leave.
Thus, it obvious that smoker has to face a lot of problem while quitting
smoking. But, he should determine firmly to quit smoking. Always remember the
bad effects of nicotine in your body and your determination of getting rid from
it.
Do not let your
senses overpower you.

blend will be helpful in getting rid of the habits that leads to smoking.
Follow these steps and see it will work.
The first thing
you should do is to keep this oil near the cigarettes of smoker.
Then try to
place this oil near the lip like a cigarette. Take a couple of deep breaths, so
that the aroma should be inhaled.
This is like a
trick your brain in forgetting the addiction of nicotine. This act is quite
similar to smoking; here you are also inhaling something. Aromatherapy will be
helpful in forgetting the nicotine habit and will act as its substitute. You
can also call it as a psychological phenomenon. If the smoker is able to resist
the craving for two minutes then surely he can quit smoking.
THINK
ABOUT IT
Smokers who are
smoking from long time become habitual to smoking. They do not find any harm in
smoking. They have included smoking as their daily routine. Many smokers often
decide to quit smoking. On the other hand, several smokers do not find any benefits
in quitting smoking. They feel that smoking helps them a lot. For Instance,
smoking relieves them from anxiety and makes them feel light. They would not be
able to work properly without smoking. Thus, they do not find much benefit in
quitting smoking.

not aware what they are missing.

quitting smoking are so vast that they cannot even imagine. The major benefit
is health. They will be able to lead a healthy and active life, after quitting
smoking.

smoke the risk of heart disease gradually decreases up to half within a year.

equivalent to a non-smoker. Thus, your heart will be as normal as of
non-smoker.
Quitting also
decreases the dangers of lung cancer. The danger of lung cancer decreases up to
30 to 50 percent, after ten years. If your age is 35 then after quitting
smoking, you are giving 7 to 8 more years to you. If a woman quits at the age
of 35 then she is incrementing her life from
Thus, you can
always enjoy the benefits of healthy life and clean environment around you. It
only depends on you. What you want from your life?
Would you like
to have deadly diseases or want to lead a healthy life?
Choice
is yours. You can opt for life and at the same time death also.
Your time span
of smoking does not matter at all. The thing that really matters is enjoying
the benefit of quitting smoking. When quitting smoking guarantees so many
advantages then one should quit smoke without giving a second thought.

your life. Life is precious. Your smoking habit is slowly, but steadily killing

Tobacco
– Not A Consumer Product
Tobacco
addiction is one of the worst addictions, with the number of tobacco users and
smokers having crossed the one billion-mark worldwide. What is a cause for
concern is that smoking has been and is being marketed as a fashionable
product; a product that is projected to be responsible for the death of over
half a million smokers this year.
Tobacco is being
promoted and projected as a consumer product. Not being aware of the harmful
effects of tobacco, the young generation is sucked into believing that it is
fashionable to smoke. At an influential age, the youngsters lap up every
advertisement targeted at them and take to smoking without realizing the ill
effects waiting to consume them. For
that matter, you may call tobacco a “consumer product”, because it “consumes”
your health and even your life, if you are not that lucky.
It is
unbelievable that such a harmful product that causes addiction, sickness and
even painful death, is allowed to be marketed freely. Tobacco is among the few
anti-health products that are legally allowed to be sold as consumer products.
Such is the impact of the bombardment of cigarette smoking advertisements that
the warning label on every cigarette pack is overlooked. It is the
‘it-can-never-happen-to-me’ attitude coupled with glamour attached to smoking,
which is the undoing of most smokers.
Smoking is a
serious addiction and every addict needs help urgently to get out of the habit.
Tobacco reform laws need to be strict, in addition to heavy imposition of
taxes, which can discourage people from getting addicted. The idea is to make
the availability of tobacco and nicotine difficult. People may argue that
despite the ban on drugs, and their availability at prohibitive prices drug
trade continues to flourish. The counter to such arguments is what could have
been the situation today had the consumption of drugs not been illegalized. We
may have had to confront a situation where every household had a drug addict or
two.
Imposing a
sudden ban on smoking or use of nicotine is not a very practical solution. This
will leave the addicts high and dry. The entire process has to be a well
thought out exercise. Educational programs on the ill effects of smoking need
be developed, along with all possible professional and emotional help to help
people get out the addiction. This is going to be a massive common exercise
involving the state, the corporate world, and of course, the common man.
Want
To Quit Smoking?
Quitting the
smoking is a desire that chain smokers wish to come true. It can be possible
with the following:
Have confidence:
If you can believe yourself then you have already won half of the battle. Try
to re- picture your days when you have proved your willpower. The only thing
that you need is to boost up your spirits again.
Try with the
limitations of smoking first. Think how smoking is eating up your body and then
go for the advantages. Start applying them on yourself as quitting smoking will
increase you lifespan, will make you feel better.
Family is
precious for all. Think how much you will save if you quit smoking. It will
help you in making new friends who hates smoking and will help you to do the
same.
Initially you
will behave illogically means that you will be restless. At that time remember
your friends and family is there to help you out .Ask them to be tolerant with
you and support you.
Exercise will
allow you to ease yourself and will help you to get better than before. You may
start with the walking. Go for one or two rounds per day. Do not fasten the
process at he initial stage as you may feel tiresome. Ensure that you consult
your physician.
Deep breathing
is great for the beginners. Try it for 3 to 5 minutes each day. Fancy a scene
that you have turned down the cigarette offered by someone.
If you are
comfortable quitting all of them rapidly then go for it otherwise does it other
way round. Plan number of cigarettes you will have each day until your
auspicious day. Try to curtail its number each day. Keep changing your brands.
This way you will stop enjoying smoking.
Search for
companion. Motivate each other. Feel pride in your clean teeth that is not
possible with going with the habit of smoking.
Plan your
journey to the auspicious day in a different manner. After having completed the
passage to two weeks of being a non smoker, plan to see a movie. After
continuing the battle for one month visits a restaurant and so on.
Drink plenty of water everyday. It will help
to flush all harmful chemicals out of your body. In addition, it helps to
reduce your longings for cigarettes.
Try to work pout
on the reasons that forces you for a pack of cigarette like work load. Avoid
these. Keep your mouth busy with things like chewing gum.
Keep a miniature
of someone who always inspires you to adopt good habits. Think that you are
trying to escape smoking for you and for that precious person.
Why
We Cannot Quit Smoking?
We do bad things
although we know we should not. Nobody knows why? Actually it is not our folly.
It falls under the category of things which are beyond our control.
We all know the
remedies to lose weight and to quit smoking like good eating habits, exercise
.Yet we cannot help ourselves although we desire it. If we talk about the chain
smokers, there are many who control themselves but cannot completely quit the
habit. The reason is bad temptations. They do every possible thing to keep
themselves away from smoking but there is something which acts like a magnetic
force and held them back like two opposites constantly attracting each other.
Let us try to find out the answer:
Can we name out
some people who are truly happy and serious about their work? Unfortunately the
figure is very less. We live in an aura made of our own where we do not feel
need to deal with the major issues. It consists of special things which
contribute a lot to distract us. We often forget about our ambitions which once
we had nurtured in childhood like becoming a doctor, an artist.
This
forgetting results in unhappy, unsuccessful and frustrated individuals. They
boil their inner self without knowing their problem and what advertisers do?
They take benefits of these fears and fulfill their interests by selling us
deceptive happiness.
But what about our true needs?
We are either afraid to fulfill
them or we disassociate ourselves from it to such an extent that we never think
of them again.
One easy way
which we opt to escape the problems is we make bad habits our companion as
incase of smokers. If they have some family quarrel then they will take up
smoking not because of the nicotine temptation but due to their incapability of
resolving the problem. When we come face to face with our problems we feel they
want us to pay them attention. The surprising fact is if we really want to give
attention to them then only we will feel the need of smoking because we know
our ‘void’. We can solve our problem by
taking following easy steps:
Try
to listen to your inner voice.
Meditation
is great and will surely help.
One
should go for a walk by himself listening to his inner self.
We
must check ourselves where we are avoiding our problems and what we instantly
need. Method of figuring out is different for everyone’s but we should try to
work on it and not to give it.
