There are many and various ways that people can use to quit smoking. Hundred of
thousands maybe millions of people have succeeded in quitting the cigarettes.
However, not all methods would be suitable for everyone. On the average many people
only succeed to quit smoking on the second or third attempt.
Some of the methods of how to quit smoking are discussed below:
Method 1: Willpower
Many people depend or believe that have they willpower quit smoking. It is
definitely true that the most important aspect to quit smoking is to have willpower,
determination and the genuine want and desire to stop for good. However, you will
never know how much willpower you really have unless you are tested.
When the cravings and urge strikes and when circumstances of anger and stress
arrive, it will then reveal how much willpower you have. Willpower is to a certain
extent derived from your purpose and reason why you want to quit smoking. Look for a
strong purpose and reason to quit, and you will have the willpower automatically.
Method 2: Cutting down
By gradually cutting down, the real truth is you are only tampering with your mind
for being less dependant on cigarettes. While smoking less cigarettes, you may
believe it would be easier for you to quit. However, the addiction is more of a
habit and a psychological one than it is a physical addiction.
You may be smoking about 20 cigarettes a day and maybe cutting down to only 3 or 4.
The truth is your body only needs 3 or 4 cigarettes a day to easy the addiction. The
rest is to satisfy your mental addiction to feel the pleasurable effects of
nicotine. If you are using this method, know that you are reducing your mind
dependency on cigarettes.
Method 3: Hypnosis
This method makes you realize or just switch perspective with the help of others
such as recordings or a doctor or consultant. The fact is that you can reach this
point of realization even without hypnosis. You just have to think and change your
perspective a little. Hypnosis does not automatically or take away your choice or
smoking. It is just a step of realization. The final choice and action is up to you.
Method 4: Zyban
This is actually a prescribed drug as a anti-depressant. It is accidentally
discovered that the use of Zyban cause a certain chemical reaction to cause smokers
to lose interest in smoking. However, the consuming Zyban does have side effects
such as dizziness, and dry mouth, even seizures in less common cases.
Method 5: Nicotine replacement therapies
The perception of undergoing nicotine replacement therapies is to reduce cravings
gradually by slowing reducing the level of nicotine in your body. However using
gums, patches or sprays still inserts nicotine into your blood. You will still need
willpower and the decision to quit smoking before you think that you can fully
depend on nicotine replacement therapies.
Method 6: Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient art of medical treatment originated from China. In
involves inserting thin needles to certain specific acupuncture points in your body.
This will alter the energy flow in your body. Acupuncture in the case of quit
smoking treatment will reduce your cravings as claimed by people who have undergone
the treatment.
Method 7: Fake cigarette
This act as a substitute for the habit and behavior of smoking but without the
intake of nicotine and other chemicals. It would help people who have very strong
and routine habit that they feel it is hard to shake off. Other than holding a fake
cigarette, you can also keep yourself busy with other activities to avoid or break
your routine habit.
Method 8: Make your decision a conviction
Visit patients who contracted cancer from smoking and ask them about their
experiences and regrets. Visit doctors and ask them to show you how lungs are like
when someone has lung cancer. Turn your decision into a belief and make it real.
