Title: Do You Want To Quit Smoking?
1Quit NOW NOT Later!! Why its Hard to
Quit! Quitting cigarettes is the hardest
substance to quit. Well, second to junk food, but
thats another topic. Cigarettes are ranked
harder to quit than cocaine, alcohol, and even
heroine. After a while, smoking cigarettes
becomes habitual, just like anything
else. Essentially, your mind says this is what
you do daily, so this is what Im used to. It
becomes normal and fulfilling to spark one up
after a meal, when you wake up and sip coffee,
Ive even seen people spark one up after
exercising. However, habits or routines are more
linked to the psychological addiction spectrum.
This side of the spectrum, on the other hand, is
not the prime reason for it being one of, if not
THE, hardest addiction to quit. No. It is the
fact that after that first cigarette, your BODY
begins to believe its necessary. Food is
necessary. Oxygen is necessary. Water is
necessary. Though cigarettes are not, your body
treats it as if it were food, water, or oxygen.
Cigarettes create what is called a physiological
addiction. Your BODY, not just your mind, is
addicted to it. Thank the nicotine. The nicotine
in cigarettes rush to your brain and create a
feeling of relaxation and satisfaction. As if
you havent eaten all day, then you take that
first bite of your sandwich. How satisfying. You
NEEDED that sandwich, because you were starving.
Smokers need the cigarettes as if they were
starving. However, its not really the cigarettes
they need, but the nicotine. Nicotine affects the
brain as a drug, enabling an increase in the
neurotransmitter dopamine, which causes a sense
of pleasure. The dilemma is that your body is
addicted to nicotine, but your mind is addicted
to the ACT of smoking. This is why it's best to
take up activities that will keep your mind and
body occupied. Why to Quit Smoking NOW! Its no
question as to why you should quit smoking. The
majority of the population can admit that
cigarettes have a terrible effect on your body,
mind, soul, and just your quality of life in
general. However, the majority of people also
dont know the full risk of smoking cigarettes.
Cigarettes do more than just mess your lungs up -
even though the damage to them is tremendous.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
label it the leading preventable cause of deaths
in the U.S. To put in perspective, automobile
accidents are labeled a preventable cause of
death. Cigarettes kill more people in the U.S.
than car accidents. Actually, it causes more
deaths than Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
Illegal drug use, Alcohol use, Motor vehicle
injuries, and Firearm-related incidents
combined. Cigarettes are linked to roughly
500,000 deaths annually. Thats half of a million
people in the U.S. alone that die from
cigarettes annually. Im not trying to scare you,
but the statistics are. Numbers dont lie. How
do cigarettes kill you? Studies show that
smokers are more likely to develop heart disease
and stroke, along with a higher risk of
2- Lung, Bladder, Blood, Cervix, Colorectal (Colon
and Rectum),... - (inhales)... Esophagus, Kidney, Ureter, Larynx,
Liver, Oropharynx, Pancreas, Stomach, Trachea,
and Bronchus cancer. Try saying that one time
fast. Or try living with it. Neither would be
easy. Not only does smoking increase the risk of
developing these cancers, but increases the
chance of them being fatal. So the smoker has a
higher chance of getting cancer and dying from
it. - 6 Activities to Help Quit Smoking
- This section is geared towards activities you can
partake in to take your mind off of that
cigarette. As I mentioned, your body is also
addicted so more physical activities are the
best way to go. - Exercising. The most obvious one, which can solve
many problems. Going to the gym to exercise is a
good activity in general, but really helpful when
trying to quit cigarettes. It is physical, which
occupies the body from NEEDING it. - Eat Healthy. After you take a jog, run, or hit
the gym eat an apple. Or eat some almonds. Or
make a smoothie. Savor whatever it is that you
are eating. Enjoy it. Maybe go out to eat. Which
brings me to my next alternative. - Spend time with friends and family. Preferably
ones who do not smoke. Go out to - eat with your friend. Take your mom, dad,
girlfriend, boyfriend, whoever, out to eat. Go
watch a movie. Go out to the movies. Have fun
with those around you that support you. Speaking
of friends. - Quit together. Find friends that also want to
quit and be each others motivation. A lot of
the time people dont have motivation. Other than
their health or their familys health, they
dont feel they NEED to quit. The fact is, you
should quit when you WANT to quit. Not when you
NEED to quit. Because by that time it is too
late. You and your friends can motivate each
other as if you were workout partners. You may
be able to do the other activities with them as
well. - Play a sport. Playing a sport you enjoy is a good
physical activity to occupy your mind and body.
This can be anything from basketball to baseball
to golf. Playing a - sport that you enjoy can be a good activity to
aid your process of quitting cigarettes. - Be creative. Making a website, drawing, or even
song. Creating something is a - good activity to get your mind and body occupied
and not focused on that cigarette. Also helps
expand you views on just about everything. - Nicotine Substitute
- Using a nicotine substitute is a proven effective
way to quit smoking cigarettes. However, it's a
tricky alternative however because it still keeps
you addicted to that nicotine. On the other
hand, it does help the process of quitting
cigarettes which has other harmful ingredients
in them as well. If you would like to try a
nicotine substitute you may click on the image
or name of the replacement.
3Nicotine Patches are the most popular and most
effective nicotine replacement out of the three
listed. Nicorette Gum are another popular
substitution that helps relieve the urge for
nicotine. Electronic Cigarettes are also an
alternative which are popular, but the least
effective. Electronic cigarettes continue both
the physiological and psychological addiction.
Smoking electronic cigarettes are systematically
the same as smoking real cigarettes, other than
lighting up and inhaling all the harmful
chemicals. However, as with the other
alternatives, using them in the beginning could
aid in the process of QUITTING. Quit Smoking
