Stop Smoking Effortlessly

By Harriet Benson

Are you as smoker? If you are, do you want to be? Smoking is an undesirable habit, one that many people see as being vile and disgusting. So where do you stand on the topic? Whatever your reason for wanting to quit, whether you are quitting temporarily or for good, quitting is not easy when it comes to an addictive substance like tobacco. This is why there are many tools for quitting smoking.

Tools for quitting smoking include products, tactics and lifestyle changes. All of these can be combined to make the task of quitting much easier.

However you plan to quit, you should start by gradually lessening the intake of tobacco products in you body before you stop altogether. Nicotine is the addictive substance in tobacco products. So depending on how much nicotine your body is accustomed to receiving, stopping cold turkey could be very uncomfortable if you do not prepare yourself for quitting. Heavy smokers should try to reduce the amount they smoke per day. This could be a slow process and will depend on the strength of the withdrawal effects felt by the smoker while tapering off cigarettes. As soon as you are down to a pack or less per day, you are likely ready to start using some tools for quitting smoking.

Without a doubt, the most advertised tool for quitting smoking is nicotine gum. Nicotine gum is contains small amounts of nicotine. Because nicotine is the addictive substance in tobacco, you will suppress the addiction by chewing the gum. While nicotine gum tastes terrible, it is a nice way to substitute the nicotine found in tobacco and can be chewed anywhere as opposed to the act of smoking.

The e-cigarette is similar to nicotine gum in that it releases nicotine into your system in an easy and convenient way. Instead of chewing gum, the e cig is a replica of a real cigarette. As you inhale through it, it releases a harmless vapor that contains minute amounts of nicotine.

A tool that does not involve nicotine products is to substitute the act of cigarette smoking with something else. Many smokers will tell you they are as addicted to the act of smoking as they are to the nicotine. So if you find yourself needing to smoke while trying to quit, you could try taking smoking off your mind by chewing or eating some candy, gum or fruit. Anything to keep your mind off of smoking will help.

In addition, you could try starting a few hobbies. Hobbies are a great way of keeping your mind off of smoking and keeping you focused on something else. Depending on your personality type, you could do something as simple as coin collecting or something as extreme as rock climbing. You will find that if your mind is occupied with a task, you will not think about cigarettes as often.

Remember, there are many ways to quit smoking, but the best tool for quitting is strict determination. As long as you have the desire and the will power, quitting will be much easier.
