Mental and Physical Parts in Smoking Cessation

Smoking is such an addiction that not only traps mind of a person addicted to smoking but also makes his other body parts habitual of nicotine addiction that is why it becomes too difficult for a person to give up this habit because when he gets mentally prepared for quitting, his physical addiction hinders his success and vice versa. To train both mental and physical parts of a person for quitting, special smoking cessation process is being followed. Today we will have some discussion about mental and physical parts in smoking cessation.

Tobacco in a cigarette is a most addictive substance that traps smokers physically and mentally. Both hands and mouth of a smoker are directly involved in smoking. Smoker uses his hand especially two fingers in smoking and continuous use of physical parts makes it a permanent habit that is why when a smoker sits idle, his hands and mind are tempted to smoke again and again.

Several physical parts of a smoker are directly affected by smoke and toxic chemicals in tobacco. In danger parts of smoker include lungs, oral, esophageal, renal and bladder and brain. Tobacco addiction causes serious health risks to these parts of smokers like cancer of lungs, lungs, oral, esophageal, renal and bladder. Nicotine in tobacco takes fewer seconds to reach brain and releases dopamine that causes feelings of pleasure. Just because of this dopamine, smokers claim that they feel them better concentrated towards their work after smoking. Similarly nicotine released from cigarettes causes a person to feel relaxed with every cigarette and a person goes on smoking and smoking.

So, you saw that a tiny cigarette contains thousands of chemicals that trap mind of a person and then cause severe health risks to smoker. If you really want to give up this unhealthy habit, you need to plan for eradicating both mental and physical addictions by planning a routine to make your physical parts habitual of other things and use a substitute of cigarette to given up its addiction. 

Smoking Cessation Pills

Smoking cessation is a complete process undertaken to uproot smoking desire in an addicted person. If a person tries to stop smoking without taking assistance from any healthcare professional or without following a proper smoking cessation plan, he will obviously find it difficult to get rid of this unhealthy habit. To go through smoking cessation plan different techniques are being used for instance smoking cessation laser therapy, smoking cessation hypnosis, smoking cessation acupuncture and smoking cessation pills. Each smoking cessation method works on different principle but with same motive to help a person in quitting smoking. Laser therapy, hypnosis, acupuncture are the methods that are used by specialists on addicts but smoking cessation pills are only suggested by doctors according to health conditions of a person then he himself keeps continuous use of smoking cessation pills without making frequent visits to doctors.

Why smoking cessation pills are used? These pills are used to relax smoking withdrawal symptoms. A person who skips cigarette from one to second time, it becomes difficult for him to stay away from smoking because of feelings of restlessness, depression, anxiety, nausea, dry throat, dizziness, fatigue, frustration, reduced concentration, weight gain, tightness in chest and cravings for more tobacco. Some people become impatient and again start smoking. To relieve these withdrawal symptoms, smoking cessation pills are being used. There are different pills that are used for this purpose.

Smoking cessation pills work on basis of special procedure to root out addiction for nicotine in cigarettes from mind and body of addicted person. These smoking cessation pills boost up energy level of two brain chemicals that are “Dopamine and Norepinephrine”. These pills perform same reaction as nicotine does to relax one’s mind. Basically these two chemicals work to boost energy in body and when a person develops habit of nicotine addiction, these chemicals in his mind become habitual of taking nicotine to refresh and become slow and cause the addicted person feel dizzy and other withdrawal symptoms if he skips smoking. When he takes smoking cessation pills, these chemicals gain their energy thus help a person feel fresh without cigarette.

Personal Smoking Cessation Plan

Smoking is one of the most common preventable causes of death. Every research program aimed to determine death rates in people habitual of smoking drew same results that more than half of people who smoke die because of diseases caused by smoking. Quitting smoking can cut down number of deaths because of diseases caused by smoking. People who develop smoking habit find it very hard to give it up that is why lots of studies have been made on stop smoking and a special name is given to process of quitting smoking known as smoking cessation. I have dedicated significant part of my spare time to research symptoms of smoking, smoking cessation and cravings etc. How this habit can be given up with lesser cravings, I introduced a special term “willpower” that is key factor for success of smoking cessation process. Today we will discuss one step ahead from willpower that is how to use will power in smoking cessation plan. Willpower is the only factor that can keep you on the track no matter what smoking cessation program you are using. Well… effectiveness of smoking cessation plan can be boosted up if personal smoking cessation plan is being followed.

Different smoking cessation resource centers are there in which healthcare professional work solely for betterment of smoker’s lives and produce personalized smoking cessation plans for them. It is a dilemma that everybody can’t afford charges of smoking cessation resource centers then why don’t you help such people around you??? Today’s discussion will help you in creating a personal smoking cessation plan for a person according to his health condition and intensity of smoking habit. Have a look of basic points to be considered while developing a smoking cessation plan:

First of all you will make a smoker feel that quitting is essential for him to live healthier. Try to inject good reasons for quitting in mind of smoker and motivate him to give up this unhealthy habit so, make a separate section with heading of why stop smoking and provide a list of benefits of quitting. Then make another section containing useful tips to quit smoking. Ask the smoker about people who can help him in following this smoking cessation plan and write down names of people. Provide outlines of new behaviors to adopt. Suggest medicine and instruct him to use this medication properly. Make the smoker aware of difficult situations he will face in stop smoking to strengthen his willpower. Last section of personal smoking cessation plan will be all about starting date and some commitments to face cravings with patience.   

Providing this plan in writing will enhance its effectiveness. 

What is Willpower?

Hi to all… I am again here to discuss same stop smoking issue. You got information about bad effects of smoking and need to quit this habit in my previous writing but I decided to change our topic of discussion from today. Today I will discuss how smoking habit can be stopped. I will provide you information about different factors that are necessary to give up this habit so read about willpower and its role in giving up smoking habit. I will cover this topic in different sections like what is willpower, how it works in process of stop smoking:

What is Willpower?

Willpower is one’s ability to beat his indolence and procrastination or you can consider willpower as strength to act or refrain for acting a specific activity. I would like to define willpower with smoking perspective as an ability to control or reject needless or harmful impulses. If I use more clear words to define willpower then it is strength to make a decision then keep following the decision with strong determination to draw desired outcomes.

Role of Willpower

I will discuss role of willpower with reference to the stop smoking process. Willpower is your inner strength that will enable you to overcome your unproductive activities such as laziness, temptation, unhealthy habits like addiction and develop healthy habits. Willingness to give up smoking is key element necessary for success of stop smoking process. Here willpower means your willingness to stop smoking.

How this strength can refrain you from smoking anymore?

Willpower is one of the most effective factors that can help you in quitting smoking and lessen need of going through expensive smoking cessation therapies. Willpower of a person will also reduce need of using expensive nicotine patches, gums, pills etc. I personally have seen many people who made their minds to stop smoking and eventually they stopped within few weeks without consuming any medication.

Time required to give up smoking if no medication is used may vary according to your willpower. Person with strong determination can quit smoking in just 15 days but some of you may take more time to give up completely. Have strong faith and get desired results free of cost that in case of poor willpower can go too expensive.

What do mean by smoking cessation stories?

I have always come to listen that smoking is not good for health. Smoking is dangerous for one’s life who smokes and even people who don’t smoke but live around smokers. I am sure you will have also listened the same. When I studied different research results that lots of deaths occur every year due to dangers caused by second hand smoke right from that moment I made my mind to work for benefit of people who smoke and who don’t smoke. I do research on web in my spare time to know more about smoking habit and quitting this habit and meet people who smoke, who have stopped this habit and who want to stop this habit then I analyze their experiences to share my knowledge with you friends.

I have seen lots of websites that have very useful information in this regard. Therapies and medications is not the only way to motivate and help addicted people in quitting smoking but words of ex-smokers can also convince smokers that smoking is adverse not only for their health but for their friends and family members. I don’t talk about my last experiences but want to share my search of last night when I encountered with a very impressive website. Someone has worked great on smoking habit covering its different aspects. The section I liked the most which I think can inspire even a chain smoker to avail benefits of living smoke free is of smoking cessation stories posted by people who were addicted to smoking but now have given up this habit. They shared their routine and experiences when they smoked and the blessed life after giving up smoking. How they gone through smoking cessation process and what results they got is shared in this section of that website. I believe that many people have this in their nature that they don’t change their minds until they make it sure that someone has experienced a thing and got best results. This post will be of greater help for such matured people.

I thought why don’t to be shared this link with you so that you may don’t need to do so much research and get this quality information for you and your friends. I found this information so beneficial that I think people who are not smokers should also read these stories to tell others and prevent smoking. So I dedicated this post to bring this site in eyes of my friends who come to my blog in routine.

What is smoking hypnosis? And how it works?

You may have been hit by thousands and thousands anti-smoking stimuli in your life. All these stimuli start from making mind of a smoker clear about bad effects of smoking but rare of these stimuli succeed in their motive but most of these stimuli have same result that all smokers continue their smoking habit with a thinking that they will quit smoking tomorrow or next tomorrow and the time goes on but instead of leaving this habit they become more habitual of smoking. You may have seem many smokers following stop smoking tips but they don’t get any positive results. Quitting smoking is really tough job. Health professionals have introduced smoking hypnosis theory into the market. Today we will discuss how much this treatment is effective but before this discussion let me introduce smoking hypnosis in brief.

Hypnosis is concentrated relaxation. In other words you can say, hypnotism makes a person feel some relaxed and keep focusing on an issue or desired results. Hypnosis doesn’t mean falling asleep or stay just relaxed. While hypnotism is practiced, hypnotized person relaxes his mind and body and he stays well aware of what happens in his surroundings. He is suggested to quit smoking in this state of relaxation.

Here it comes more important to know the relationship between hypnotism and quit smoking. Basically smoking cessation works on two principles; alter the thinking of person who feels pleasure in smoking, alter conditioned response of smoker that he has developed with a particular habit and smoking. How a person started smoking is somewhat helpful in uprooting this habit from a person. I think when all other quit smoking methods fail to bring changes in smoker’s behavior, smoking hypnosis will be a best choice in this regard.

How Does Smoking Hypnosis Work?

You will feel your mind more clear about concept of smoking hypnosis after reading this portion of my posting. Here I will describe working of smoking hypnosis in simple words:

A health professional (hypnotherapist) keeps his focus on psychological aspects other than treating physical problems caused by smoking. Subconscious mind of a person that stores all memories takes over when hypnotized and suggestions are made to this part of mind. This state is achieved through different techniques like breathing. Hypnotherapist gives the person positive suggestions about why smoking is adverse for his health and focuses on benefits that he can achieve only if he quits smoking. Healthcare professional will try to bring the smoker into state where he will discard cigarettes and make him feel that this all is not affecting him and he is not feeling any withdrawal symptoms. Successful hypnotism will urge an smoker to say no to cigarette and save his life. Similarly other suggestions will be given to smoker in same state. Hypnotism will directly make a mark on subconscious mind therefore chances of successful quit smoking are more with this therapy.

One can go to professional hypnotherapist for taking his assistance in quitting smoking but he can also take help from a friend in this regard. Self-hypnotism will also work same for betterment of person habitual of smoking.

Smoking and Stop Smoking Facts

Smoking is filthy habit that affects health of a person addicted to smoking and imposes lots of other risks on social life of a smoker. If we look back into our past, we will see fewer people were addicted to smoking but it is a dreadful fact that number of people who smoke is increasing day by day. Different research programs have shown that lots of children start smoking every day. Let’s leave “why people smoke” to be discussed on some other day and focus on some facts of habit of smoking and stop smoking. A very painful reality of our society is that around 3000 children smoke their first cigarette every passing day. Few years before, number of people who used to smoke was very low as compared to today. Today I will share interesting smoking facts and some information about quitting smoking:

Social Facts of Smoking

Social life of a person who smokes is badly affected. First of all his confidence starts to lose when he becomes addicted to smoking. His position in society is also affected by this habit. He is prohibited from so many places like gyms, hotels, museums, hospitals etc just because smoking is not allowed on these places. It is the social gathering where a smoker is prohibited on the other hand again it is social gathering that promotes urge for tobacco smoking. There is need to make people known of bad effects of smoking and this teaching should be more common in schools and colleges.  It has been calculated that 2% of high school students are routine smokers and this rate is increasing rapidly. Some research programs show that 3900 students between the ages of 12 to 17 years try their first cigarette each day and 25% of these students become habitual of smoking.

Medical Facts of Smoking

Smoking affects health of smokers and people who are exposed to second hand smoke adversely. Inhalation of cigarette smoke can cause lungs cancer, throat cancer, emphysema, strokes and heart diseases. Complexity of these diseases becomes more and more with continuous consumption of tobacco smoke and become major cause of deaths with heart attacks, high blood pressure and cancer. Cigarette smoke not only destroys health of person who have cigarette in his hands but many deaths are recorded due to illnesses caused by secondhand smoke. Round about 3400 deaths recorded by lungs cancer are caused by secondhand smoke. There is immense need to control this habit of smoking and encourage people for quitting smoking to reduce this increasing number of deaths by smoking.

Facts of Quitting Smoking

Once a person quits smoking habit will give up risks of heart attack within ten years after quitting. People who quit this habit will have only one-half of the risk of dying in next 15 years as compared to routine smokers. Quitting this habit will reduce risk of cancer substantially as compared to continuous smoking. People who don’t smoke should work to promote knowledge of smoking cessation programs and encourage smokers for quitting smoking.
