Your Stop Smoking Blog

Everyone is encouraging you to quit smoking for good. You’ve probably thought over the problem and wondered if you could do it, but shoved the thought aside in the end. You’re not ready, you think. Maybe you’re thinking it’s too late for you, that you’re already hooked.

Maybe you’re scared that you’ll fail, so you’re telling yourself there’s no point in trying. Those thoughts are already a clue that it’s time to stop smoking now, if only to prove to yourself that you really are that strong and can kick the habit.

Make no mistake: you will have to be strong to quit smoking. Stopping a habit is difficult, and one that comes with cravings is even harder to kick. But if so many people have stopped smoking for good, there really isn’t any reason to think you can’t stop smoking too. In fact, here is plenty of support, help for ways to stop smoking, as well as quit smoking aids available to make quitting easier than ever.

Before you decide to quit, sit down and write a list of all the reasons to stop smoking now. Think of everything you can: your health, financial aspects, odor and smells, house damage, risks for your children or friends. No reason is too small. Now, write down all the reasons you should continue to smoke. The lists probably don’t even come close to evening out, do they?

The list of reasons to quit smoking should be something you carry everywhere for a while. The point is to remind yourself why you should stop smoking and have that list on hand to read each time you smoke.

You’re eventually going to turn your internal dialogue messages into ones that discourage you from continuing to smoke, which is great.

Pick a quit date. Make sure it’s a date well in the future and one that isn’t going to have other stressors going on at that time. Your quit date will be the day you stop smoking for good.

Plan for it, prepare yourself for it and tell everyone about it. Quitting smoking starts a long, long time before you actually have your last cigarette.

Withdrawal symptoms are the worst part about trying to quit smoking. When you try to quit smoking, you might mentally think that you need the nicotine contained in the cigarettes.

Oftentimes, however, you can trick your brain into forgetting about those craving by drinking a glass of water or doing something else that will take your mind off it.

Your doctor can give you some medical advice on ways to quit smoking, too. You can choose one or more aids because it’s proven that quitting cold turkey doesn’t have successful results. Many people use patches, hypnotism, laser treatment, and other ways to quit smoking.

There really is no reason to be a martyr and put yourself through the hardest times possible. Accept help from your doctor, listen to advice about coping with cravings and make the process easier.

Why is it so difficult to take that first step – that leap of faith to stop smoking easily?
The First Step is the scariest; this is when the fear is generated – the one all of the               so-called experts talk about when they discuss smoking.
Why is it so difficult to set your resolve to stop smoking? All smokers agree that they have had the thought that they should try to stop but this thought never goes anywhere. Why is that? Very simple Fear! All smokers are afraid of what they visualize as the long thought out and difficult processes that are involved in Stopping Smoking.
They are told that it is very difficult to Stop Smoking but I am here to tell you that is not true. It is simply not true. It is not difficult to stop smoking, in fact it is easy to stop but smokers are constantly told it is difficult by our governments, the medical community, our friends, our family, and ourselves.
Smokers are afraid of the unknown as everyone one is; you know that, but once you’ve taken that first step, it gets easier. The fear goes away – it’s replaced with relief. In fact, once you get over that first step, stopping smoking is, in fact, easy. It is not difficult. I even guarantee it.
I smoked for over 35 miserable years; I know what I am talking about. I lost my lower legs as a result of my smoking. I learned the hard way about what can happen if you don’t stop.
But the really scary thing is that even losing my legs didn’t stop me from smoking. It took me another seven years to finally quit permanently. That is because cigarettes controlled me I didn’t control them.
During this period of time, after my amputations, I studied and studied the phenomenon of smoking. I finally discovered the secret to quitting smoking. I can tell you straight up that without this secret you too will have a tough time stopping smoking.
It wasn’t until I took that first step that I finally learned the Secret to Quitting Smoking. Now you can have the benefit of what I learned.
But knowing the secret is still not enough. Everyone needs some help with the process of stopping. Once you seek my help you will soon find out that it very easy to stop smoking.
We can’t ask them, but I know that the 440,000 Americans and 45,000 Canadians who have died and those who will die each and every year from smoking-related diseases would rather have taken that first step before it was too late.
So, why do you think it’s so difficult to take that first step – that leap of faith . . . and how can I help you to decide to take it?
***There are 10 primary reasons why people do take that first step – that leap of faith to stop smoking easily.

What could be simpler? The First step is to get something for FREE? Easy enough huh?

Having Said That – There are 10 reasons why people do take that first step – that leap of faith – to stop smoking easily.

1.    Sometimes, knowledge of the consequences of smoking – like lung cancer, heart disease, throat cancer, losing one’s legs (yes, it’s a real possibility) – can scare you into it. Maybe one of your parents or siblings, or friends is dying or died of it;  this provides the necessary incentive for some, actually for many.

2.    Some begin to see that smoking is costing them a lot of money for something they do not like to do.

3.    Others can, and will, argue that smoking is enjoyable, and that it’s worth the consequences. To that I would ask, “Do you want your kids to smoke?” 100% of you would say “No! Definitely not!”  Why not? If you enjoy it so much, don’t you want your kids to enjoy it as well? Well, I’m sure you know the answer to that. And after answering it some will try to stop.

4.    Some people take that first step in response to a threat: your spouse says they’ll leave -although this seldom works; your boss threatens to fire you – this can work well for a short while; other serious or not so serious threats sometimes work, but not often.

5.    Some just require noticing a slight distress as a result of their smoking: their breathing is more difficult; their blood pressure begins to climb; maybe they started an exercise program and were troubled by the effects of their smoking.

6.    Some begin to realize they don’t like themselves very much as a smoker who is under the control of cigarettes.

7.    Or don’t like being treated as second-class citizens.

8.    Or can’t handle the guilt of smoking.

9.    Or don’t like the fact that their friends- especially wives or girlfriends or your kids constantly remind them that they stink and they are dirty.

10.     Or even something as simple as not being able to get an erection at an appropriate time – and learning it was most likely caused by a lack of good circulation as a result of your smoking. Trust me – that does it for more guys than you can count.
I want you to know that as a result of what I’ve learned from my own experience with finally stopping smoking, my major purpose in life has become – to help all smokers in this world to stop smoking too…And easily too!
It is my passion, and I am grateful to have been able to help so many; now I want to help you.

Millions of people smoke, and to many, particularly those that have been smoking for some time, the prospect of quitting seems daunting. An addiction to nicotine is a serious one, and is multifaceted: there is a physical component, in that your body craves the nicotine the cigarettes contain, and a psychological one, in that many habits and situations become associated with cigarettes for the smoker. For these reasons it is important that you come up with a plan of attack in order to quit smoking: although the cold-turkey technique works for some people, the vast majority of smokers will have success only with a more comprehensive plan.

When you first consider the prospect of quitting smoking, it’s probably going to seem far fetched, but keep in mind that thousands of people – people that are no different from you – quit smoking every year. If they can do it, there’s no reason that you can’t. Many smokers also feel that after a certain age it is “too-late” to quit smoking. Simply put, this isn’t true, and should not be used as an excuse to avoid an attempt to quit smoking: the health benefits of quitting smoking begin the very day you stop.

Before you actually have your last cigarette, begin to build up your willpower. Your willpower is going to be your most important tool in quitting, and it’s very unlikely that you will be successful without it. Spend some time thinking of the reasons you want to quit smoking. Learn about the health benefits of quitting, for both yourself and the people around you. Do some math and come up with some figures for the amount of money you’ll save by not buying cigarettes, and think of something you’ll use that money for.

Once you’ve built up your willpower, it’s time to have your last cigarette. To keep your spirits up, understand that the human body is incredibly resilient, and your health will improve as soon as you stop smoking – literally. 8 hours after your last cigarette, carbon monoxide levels and oxygen levels in your blood stream will return to normal. At 24 hours after your last cigarette, you statistically reduce your chance of a heart attack. Only 48 hours after your last cigarette, your sense of taste and smell will improve as your nerve endings start growing.

As you continue to stay smoke free, think of the longer-term benefits to quitting in order to keep your willpower up: even after 2 weeks your lung power will begin to increase, and continue to do so over time. Other aspects of your health will continue to improve in various ways. The ultimate motivator should be the knowledge that 15 years after quitting, your risk of death is almost the same as someone who has never smoked – a remarkable fact that illustrates our the human body’s surprising ability to restore itself.

By coming up with a concrete plan to quit smoking you will greatly increase your chances of success. Crucial is understanding the important role that your willpower will play in the process, and planning to build up this willpower weeks before you attempt to quit. Once you’ve stopped you have to keep the strength of this willpower up, and to do so, remind yourself of the health benefits you will be privy to immediately after butting out that last cigarette.
