Written by A friend who lives in the U.S. was talking to me on skype the other day about some adhesives lobelia that she is using to help stop smoking. She was feeling very, very excited about the idea of quitting, but soon felt the pressure of abstinence, then began to use these stickers to control anxiety and that famous “crack” of fumar.Essa conversation with her and several other people who are leaving or thinking of quitting, and actually, looking for a way to do it, began to motivate me to do the same.
There are thousands of methods to stop smoking. Ranging from hypnosis, acupuncture (laser, needles), with use of specific drugs such as chewing gum, patches to control anxiety and withdrawal symptoms caused by the lack of cigarettes, sympathy, promised to the Saints … anything goes! The important thing is to find a way to get rid of cigarette adapt to its reality.
I have searched several sites on the subject and found some tips given by doctors. Is there a program linked by the Ministry of Health and National Cancer Institute where they suggest a number of nice hints to give beginning to stop itself.
The first suggestion is to leave at once. Choose a date and stop a single shot. I guess I’m not going for that option. My idea is to go slowly leaving the cigarette in the space of a week, for the body and mind can get used to the idea of stopping. I think this a good method because you do not give fright in the body, something that I’ve tried other times and got no success (I am one of those inveterate smokers who smoke more than a pack a day easy, easy). But in this scheme, you will gradually leaving the cigarette, and within a week quite cut it. See how it works:
* First day … … … … … … … 25 cigarettes
* 2nd day … … … … … … … 20 cigarettes
* The third day … … … … … … … 15 cigarettes
* The fourth day … … … … … … … .10 cigarettes
* 5th day … … … … … … … … 5 cigarettes
* 6th day … … … … … … … … .1 cigarette
* 7th day … … … … … … … … .. 0 cigarette
Here you postpone the hour of smoke, leaving every day for a little while later, the first cigarette
* First day … … … …. First cigarette at 9 am
* 2nd day … … … .. First cigarette at 11 h
* The third day … … … .. First cigarette at 13 h
* The fourth day … … … … .1 cigarettes at 15 h
* 5th day … … … .. First cigarette at 17 h
* 6th day … … … … first cigarette at 19 h
* 7th day … … … … … No smoking
So on the seventh day cigarette goodbye! It’s nice to arrange a date and commit to follow the scheme. It is a suggestion, wanting to adopt, there is a hint! Another thing I find most important is to tell everyone around you on your goal of quitting. So you’ll be at the same time, suitable to gain the support of people living with you and publicly committing itself to overcome their addiction to cigarettes. Their self-esteem will thank you as you are achieving victories in this battle!
