Tips to Help You Quit Smoking Easy

By Sue Johnson

You may be searching for an easy way to quit smoking. If you expect to find a way to quit smoking without any initiative and planning, then you probably are going to be disappointed.

However, this does not mean that quitting smoking is impossible or an unlikely scenario. It's not at all impossible, even though that's what many people believe. If you want to give up smoking, you will need to be determined, prepare a plan, and then apply that plan. If you do that, you can definitely give up smoking, especially with all the stop smoking techniques and methods that are available today.

I suspect that some people who act as if it's impossible a doing so to give themselves an excuse for not even trying. They're rather confused way of thinking is something along the line of "Well, it's impossible anyway so why bother trying?"

Do not fall into this thought trap if you are a smoker. You may have started smoking some time ago for reasons that you cannot even remember. However, you must have learned by now that smoking is unhealthy and dangerous habit, and you are taking a great risk with your health if you continue. You can kick the habit and there are ways to make this easy for you.

One good way to give up smoking is list down all the important reasons why you should stop. In the words of Tony Robbins, "If you have a strong enough why, you can always find a how." This is self-explanatory and does not need further elaboration.

Something else that makes it easier is if you can create a smoke-free home. If their other smokers in your house, this means getting everyone to agree to quit at the same time. It might be difficult to do that, but it certainly will make stopping easier if you can.

One of the problems of quitting smoking is facing the nicotine withdrawal symptoms. However, this is not a major problem today as there are many nicotine substitutes available. Nonetheless, smoking is a habit and you will need to overcome the changes that you encounter when you are trying to break the habit. The good news is that you will not have to go through the physical symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

The usual method followed is starting with a nicotine substitute that gives you the same dose of nicotine as what you were getting through smoking. Once you have not touched a cigarette for some time, the dose is gradually reduced until you are completely off the nicotine. Nicotine substitutes can be in the form of gum, lozenges or patch.

Some people turn to medication to help them quit smoking. Zyban, an anti-depressant, seems to help some people control their desire for cigarettes. Another drug named Chantrix is helpful in reducing the yearning to smoke.
