How To Quit Smoking Cigarettes
So you want to quit cigarettes? Then read this article to find out the unsuccessful and the successful methods of stopping smoking.
Try as you might, you just can't shake the filthy habit. At least you want to give up, unlike many people that you know who are so deluded that they say they like cigarettes and enjoy them and do not want to give up this pleasure. Read on and see my critique of different methods available. Oh, and remember - I am an ex-smoker myself of over ten years.
Willpower
You probably know this technique very well already. Simply, you choose a future date and dread fills you as it approaches. Then you stub out what you think is your last cigarette and tell your family and friends that you have finally given up. Eventually, you succumb to the cravings and light up a cigarette - you feel the shame of having reneged on your promises to yourself and your loved ones and, once again, you have a full blown smoking habit.
Don't even think about using willpower, it is pretty much the worst method out there.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy
The drug companies have a large vested interest in these methods. They provide you forms of nicotine such as patches, inhalers and more. The good thing is that you don't inhale any of the nasty tar or hundreds of other bad chemicals in cigarettes. The bad thing is that you are still "hooked" on nicotine. You swap one habit for another which is usually even more expensive. It makes you wonder why you even bothered. Stay away from NRT.
Natural Realisation Therapies
In my opinion, these are the best and they are how I gave up a 25 high tar cigarette a day habit over ten years ago and no longer crave any cigarettes.
They work by educating you about the true nature of nicotine addiction. Most clueless doctors would have you believe that nicotine is a strong addictive chemical. This could not be further from the truth and shows how lacking their true understanding of addiction is.
More people have stopped smoking from these natural therapies than any doctor has even cured - Fact.
