Stop Smoking Tips
Are you serious about
stopping smoking? If yes, please read the following stop smoking
information:
The
following stop smoking section outlines several proven stop smoking
tips, as well as, some of the the signs that you are addicted to
nicotine:
You
may be addicted to cigarettes if you experience one or more of the
following signs:
- You continue to smoke
despite the desire to quit.
- You have made a serious,
but unsuccessful, attempt to stop using tobacco or permanently reduce
the amount you use.
- Your attempts to stop
smoking have led to physical withdrawal symptoms, including a craving
for tobacco, anxiety, irritability, restlessness, difficulty concentrating,
headaches, drowsiness, and stomach upset.
- You develop a "tolerance"
for tobacco. Smoking the same number of cigarettes produces less
effect over time, making it necessary to
increase the number of cigarettes you smoke to achieve the desired
sensation.
-
You have continued to
use tobacco even when you have a serious physical problem (such
as cardiovascular or respiratory disease) that you know is worsened
by tobacco.

smoking tips may seem trivial. Clinical studies have shown that

part of your commitment to smoking cessation. Preparing for
your actual stop date increases the probability of your success.

Stop Smoking Tip #1 - you
must set a stop smoking date. This is the day that you will no longer
have another smoke.
Tell your friends and family about your intentions
to stop smoking. Make this a stop smoking date, official.
Prior to this stop smoking date
7- 14 days
get some prescription Zyban. More doctors prescribe Zyban, for their
patient who wish to stop smoking, than all the other stop smoking aids
combined.
Start taking Zyban approximately 7 to 14 days prior
to your date to stop smoking. Clinical studies have shown that it
takes at least one week for Zyban to reach the appropriate levels
in your system.
Next, pick a stop date that is appropriate
i.e. do not pick a date prior to an important deadline or other commitment.
Select a day when you are in control of your own schedule.
Again, prior to starting your stop date tell your relatives,
friends and co-workers about your decision to quit smoking – make
the commitment.
Next, make a list of all the reasons you want to quit. Post
it where you will see it every day.
Write your quit smoking date on all
of your calendars and then start taking your prescription Zyban 7
– 14 days in advance.
Stop Smoking Tip
# 2 - combine the use Zyban with your stop smoking efforts.
Clinical studies
have proven that individuals that use Zyban with their stop smoking
efforts are three times more likely to stop smoking than those
individuals that attempt to stop smoking without Zyban.
Zyban is the first non-nicotine containing, oral
medication that is approved as an aid to help individuals stop
smoking. Zyban helps decrease your cravings, withdrawal symptoms and
your desire to smoke. Zyban has been shown in clinical trials
to not only help with smoking cessation but to also decrease the
weight gain that is often associated with the quitting smoking.
When smokers, who are addicted to cigarettes, quit
smoking they often suffer from symptoms that can be psychological,
emotional, or physical in nature. This is known as withdrawal. Zyban
allows individuals to successfully quit smoking by reducing the cravings
for cigarettes and/or the urge to smoke.
Zyban also reduces the following withdrawal symptoms associated
with smoking cessation:
- Irritability frustration and/or anger
- Anxiety and restlessness
- Depressed mood or negative affect
- Difficulty concentrating
Zyban is unique from other smoking cessation aides
because there is no nicotine - unlike the Nicotine patches or gum that
just provide an alternate source for nicotine. Zyban works at the
neurological level, reducing the actual craving for nicotine. Zyban has
helped many smokers, even those who have smoked 10 years or more, put
down their cigarettes for good. When you smoke, nicotine enters the
bloodstream through the lungs. It quickly reaches the brain, where it
affects certain chemicals that change the way you feel. Eventually, the
brain becomes dependent on nicotine to control these chemicals that make
you feel "normal." Zyban helps to alleviate this dependency.

Stop Smoking Tip #3
- elicit the support
from family and friends.
Clinical
studies have shown that you have a better chance of being successful
in your efforts to quit smoking if you have support. You can get support
in many ways:
Tell
your family, friends, and co-workers
that youare going to quit and want their support. Ask them not to
smoke around you or leave cigarettes in your view.
Discuss your decision to stop smoking
with your health care provider (for example, doctor, dentist, nurse,
pharmacist, psychologist, or smoking counselor).
Get individual, group, or telephone
counseling. The more counseling you have, the better your chances
are of quitting. Stop smoking Programs are given at local hospitals and health
centers. Call your local health department for information about
stop smoking programs
in your area.
Stop Smoking Tip #4 -
learn new skills and behaviors to deal with your cravings
Once you have quit smoking you will
have cravings for a cigarette. Please note, Zyban will significantly
reduce your cravings for nicotine. However, the cravings not only involve
nicotine but the habits associated with smoking. For example,
something do do with your hands and mouth. You should develop substitutes
to keep your mouth and hands
busy. Some individuals use toothpicks, stress balls, sugarless gum,
hard candies, drink lots of water, computer games are also an excellent distracter.
Remember
these cravings for nicotine only last a few minutes at a time and they will taper
off in a few short weeks!
Finding appropriate distracters
can also help you get your mind off any temporary uncomfortable feelings
you may incur:
-
Try to distract yourself from urges
to smoke, talk to someone, exercise, involve yourself with a task.
- Change your normal routine, drink
a coke in the morning instead of coffee, take a different route to
work, eat breakfast in a different area, pick up something interesting to read and
eat breakfast in a different place. Find ways to reduce your stress,
have a massage, take a hot bath, exercise, watch
a movie.
- Reward yourself, plan something enjoyable
to do every day.
- Drink a lot
of water and other fluids.
Buy Prescription Zyban online and quit smoking without the nicotine
cravings. Clinical studies have shown that if you include Zyban with
your stop smoking efforts you are 3 times more likely to successfully
stop smoking (click here for details).
Stop smoking tip # 5 - Develop
a strategy for coping with temporary withdrawal symptoms
Most withdrawal symptoms only last for a
few minutes over a few
week period; however, these symptoms can be uncomfortable while you are experiencing
them.
Some individuals never have any symptoms or the symptoms they experience
are very mild. Other individuals have a tougher time dealing with
withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, sleeplessness, difficulty
concentrating, and gastrointestinal problems.
Preoccupation is the key, if you feel
uncomfortable, remember the symptoms will only last a few minutes, if
you can make it through these very brief periods you are home free.
Find something, anything to get your mind of the temporary cravings.
Please see below:
During these brief periods find
something you enjoy to preoccupy these cravings, go for a walk, put on
some music, anything.
If you feel irritable, try the breathing technique of taking a few
short breaths. Next, participate in an activity that is relaxing (you
should make a list of these activities prior to quitting).
If you experience difficulties sleeping, avoid caffeine late in the
evening. Exercise in the late afternoon or early evening can help
relax you so that you can sleep
Inability to concentrate is a common complaint of individuals who
have recently stopped smoking, In order to alleviate these symptoms
you should take a break from the activity and work on something less
demanding. Attempt to set up a schedule that allows for
more time to complete tasks that are difficult. Again, plan an exercise
routine in the middle of the day, or some other kind of relaxing activity.
Constipation can be a problem for some individuals that use a cigarette
in the morning to stimulate a bowel movement. Try drinking plenty
of fluids and increase the amount of fiber i.e. grains, fruits, vegetables
in your diet. If these symptoms persist consult with your local healthcare
professional concerning over-the-counter remedies.
If you have additional withdrawal symptoms, remember, they are likely
to subside a few weeks. You may also try the following techniques
to help you relax through the critical periods:
Mental Imagery (sounds ridiculous but read this section anyway)
Mental
imagery is used by many individuals to accomplish their goals including
professional athletes often use this strategy to prepare for an upcoming
event.
Find
an area were you could have peace and quiet without being disturbed.
Begin by taking slow deep breaths. Picture yourself in a situation
were you are a non-smoker. What are you doing? Are
you outside in the mountains, breathing deeply, tasting the
fresh air? Feeling confident? Are there other individuals with you?
Are they family members that are proud of you for taking the initiative
to stop smoking? What are their comments to you?
Take another deep breathe. Again,
picture the scene in your mind. Notice the colors, shapes, textures
lighting, etc. Envison what is going on around you while you notice
how you look.
Again, breathe deeply. Focus on your image. Picture yourself effortlessly
moving through your vision. You are content and proud of yourself
for accomplishing your goals.
What do you see?
What do you taste?
What do you smell?
What
do you hear?
Imagine how clean and refreshed your mouth feels after you have your
teeth cleaned or after you have brushed your teeth.
Think about the imagery around you. Are you relaxed? Can you feel the fresh mountain air?
Think about what you hear. Are people talking to you, congratulating
you for your success?
How do you feel? Are you content? Proud of yourself?
Feeling like you have accomplished something important?
Take your mind forward and try to clearly picture everything you can
about being a non-smoker. Then breathe deeply again and return to
the present moment. Refer back to this image as much as you want.
Take time to do this mental imagery again soon. The more you see yourself,
clearly, as a non-smoker, accomplishing your goal the closer you are
to success.
Relaxation Exercise
Ready to relax? Everyone needs a little down
time. Here is an exercise that will help you unwind any time.
To begin, get as comfortable as you can (lay in your hammock or favorite
chair. Take a very deep, slow breath. Feel the air go into your lungs
and even fill up your stomach. When you exhale, breathe out slowly
and comfortably. However do not hold your breath. Let one breath flow
into another. Feel yourself inhale deeply,
and imagine the oxygen going all the way to your toes and fingertips.
Breathe slowly and deeply.
If thoughts come into your mind, just let them float by and return
your focus to breathing. Whenever thoughts intrude, gently bring your
focus back to breathing. Continue to keep your focus on breathing.
Some individuals use a couple of words or a short phrase to help them
stay focused i.e
"I am relaxed." Think "I am focused" repeat these phrases as you breathe in
and slowly release the air. Say the words "I am relaxed"
over and over with as you slowly take deep breaths and exhale slowly.
Repeat this for at least 10 cycles. If you concentrate, you will really
feel a difference in both your body and mind.
Stop Smoking Tip # 6 - prepare
yourself against difficult times or situations
Most relapses occur within the first 3 months
after quitting. Prepare yourself for difficult times so you may get
through these situations without a setback:
-
Smokers – avoid being around individuals that smoke.
-
Weight gain – often individual’s will gain weight when they quit
smoking; you need to eat a healthy diet and stay active especially
during the first few weeks. Find non-caloric methods to satisfy your
oral urges. Some individuals will use the weight gain as an excuse
to start smoking again. Do not allow weight gain distract you from
your main goal to stop smoking. Some individuals will use the weight
gain as an excuse to start smoking again. Remember
- Zyban has shown in clinical trials to not only help with
smoking cessation but to also decrease the weight gain that is often
associated with the quitting smoking.
-
Alcohol - avoid drinking alcohol, alcohol lowers your inhibitions
and can often result in a setback.
-
Situations or places
– avoid certain conditions that may contribute to failure. For example, if you always have a cigarette following
a heated discussion find a substitute –once again, go for a long walk.
If you always have a cigarette while visiting your local bar, refrain
from going to the bar for a few weeks until you get a handle on your
new devotion to stop smoking. If you are feeling stressed, remember
that you may have used cigarettes in the past to cope with uncomfortable
situations. You now need to build new ways of coping.
