‘A cigarette is a pipe with a fire at one end and a fool at the other’ said Dr. Johnson.
As far back as 1604, James I of England expressed his hate for smoking . “A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless.”
Smoking is in fact a pernicious craving for tobacco products, especially cigarettes and cigars. Smoking is not only injurious to health but rather to family and society also. It should be quit as early as possible.
An organic compound, nicotine, which is richly found in tobacco smoke, is very detrimental to your health. It is linked with various health risks.
“Sooner or later, everyone stops smoking.” ‘One thousand Americans stop smoking every day – by dying’ ironically expresses the risks of smoking.
It can cause diseases of the cardiovascular system, myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, diseases of the respiratory tract such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) chronic bronchitis and emphysema, cancer (particularly lung cancer and cancers of the larynx and tongue), peripheral vascular disease, birth defects of pregnant smokers’ offspring, Buerger’s disease (thromboangiitis obliterans), impotence, and in some cases it may develop cataracts that may cause blindness.
Major health risks can be minimized by cessation smoking. Smoking cessation means to quit smoking, but the cardinal point is how to quit smoking.
Smoking can be quit by using nicotine-containing tobacco substitutes. Nicotine replacement therapy has been quite an effective treatment. It uses various other nicotine delivery methods to replace nicotine obtained from smoking or other tobacco usage. The nicotine patch, inhaler, nasal spray, gum, gel, and lozenge are some effective tools of NTR. Nicotine gum is a chewing gum, which delivers nicotine to the body.
Nicotine patches are also used to quit smoking. Nicotine patches are transdermal patches that release nicotine into the skin. The patch therapy has been considerably successful in helping many people quit.
“Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.” said Mark Twain.
Hypnosis Stop-Smoking programs are another alternative that can help people who seriously want to quit. Hypnosis works on the underling reason as to why you’re smoking in the first place. Remove that reason and remove the craving, after all nicotine is removed from the smoker after 72 hours.
Quit smoking help with hypnosis often involves consultations and sittings with a hypnotherapist. Various hypnotherapy techniques, positive affirmations, and suggestions, are used to help the patient undertake a change of mindset and therefore quit smoking.
