Let’s have useful information about smoking cessation aids. You must have seen either you are a smoker or not that every packet of cigarettes comes with a note that smoking is not good for health but still people smoke. Even cigarette companies also declare that smoking is hazardous for health but I am worried why these companies don’t stop producing cigarettes. Don’t worry if cigarette companies don’t care for health of smokers, there are several health care institutions that are working to uproot smoking habit from society. They provide special smoking cessation aids to help people in giving up this unhealthy habit. You can say smoking cessation medicines, smoking cessation therapies and society are some of the most effective aids to help smokers in quitting. Here I will discuss role of smoking cessation aids that are very effective to make smoking cessation process successful.

First and main smoking cessation aid comes from health care professionals. Different health care professionals in smoking cessation resource centers work by following three rules of aids that are prevention, cessation and protection. They prevent people from starting smoking, help people in quitting and protect them from smoking again using different therapies and medicines.

Other smoking cessation aids include:

All habitual smokers are advised to quit this dreadful habit because smoking can lead to many health dangers. There are several quit smoking methods that are used on the basis of different principles. Most commonly used stop smoking methods include; smoking cessation resource centers, quit smoking aids, medications and smoking cessation pills. This posting is about smoking cessation pills. There are several types of smoking cessation pills that are suggested by physicians according to health conditions of smoker. Here I provide you information about most commonly used smoking cessation pills with pros and cons of smoking pills.

Chantix

This smoking cessation pill has been approved by FDA and is supposed to show lesser side effect. One special point about Chantix that I analyzed from my search is that it doesn’t use nicotine to help the smoker in quitting smoking. Different studies have stated that maximum people have successfully given up smoking using Chantix. This medicine has active ingredient varenicline tartrate” which help the smoker in overcoming withdrawal symptoms. I personally rate Chantix most effective than other stop smoking medicines.

There are different side effects of Chantix but these side effects are far less than its benefits. Most commonly experienced side effects of Chantix include headache, dizziness, dry mouth etc.

Zyban

This smoking cessation pill is also approved by FDA to help smokers in quitting smoking. Several health professionals suggest this medicine for people to treat cravings. Its effectiveness is more as compared to other smoking cessation medications like gums and nicotine patches. This medicine works on brain receptors and reduce desire to smoke again.

Like other medicines Zyban also has some side effects that can include dry mouth, vomiting, restlessness, headache etc.

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.

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.
