I’m not sure what it is about human nature that makes people think they know better than the people putting out the various products we use, but the more time I spend on the internet working with various otc medications, the more I’m sure that very few people read the directions anymore. In the case of hair spray and toothpaste, this may not be dire, there for the most part, things should be used as directed – teeth whiteners, cold medicine, and especially smoking cessation aids like nicotine patches.
The strange thing about the general population’s disregard for directions is that they always seem to think more is better. The logic goes something like, “Well, if 30 minutes a day will gradually whiten my teeth, 2 hours a day will making them sparkling white by tomorrow!” It doesn’t take into account the fact that products are formulated to work a certain way for a reason. In our whitestrips example, that reason is because whitening teeth too fast will make the teeth very sensitive, damage the enamel and can even create uneven whitening with white spots.
However, using nicotine patches incorrectly can have longer-lasting and more dramatic side effects. Using two nicotine patches will not make it easier to quit smoking, because the purpose of nicotine patches is not to “cure” nicotine addiction. Instead, it’s an effective way to gradually lessen the nicotine cravings and to minimize withdrawal symptoms. In other words, adding more nicotine patches in an effort to quit faster will actually make it harder to quit because it will take longer to get the nicotine out of your system.

Millions of people all around the world smoke, pouring billions of their money into the pockets of the tobacco industry. To many, particularly those that have been smoking for a long time, the prospect of quitting smoking seems very daunting. An addiction to smoking is a serious and complex one. It manifests itself in both a physical way, in that your body craves the nicotine the cigarettes contain, and a psychological way, in that your mind has been conditioned to believe that you have to smoke or terrible things will happen to you. To overcome this two sided assault it is important that you come up with a plan of attack in order to quit smoking. Although the cold-turkey or willpower technique works for some people, the vast majority of smokers will have success only with a more comprehensive and detailed plan with the right amount of preparation.
There seem to be two distinct aspects to smoking: habitual behaviour and nicotine addiction. Many smokers want to quit smoking altogether which means breaking away from both sides of the smoking problem. However, there are others who simply want to change how they smoke due to issues of family, etc. Let’s see how to do this…
Habitual smoking
The physical activity of smoking i.e. buying the packet, opening it, putting the cigarette in your mouth, lighting it, and taking that first inhalation of smoke, form a pattern of behaviour that is repeated many, many times. Patterns of behaviour when continued for a while become habits. Your mind and body absorb the pattern into your normal daily activity and relatively quickly it becomes normal. In fact, the pattern becomes so ingrained that your mind and body actively crave the activity to fulfil part of its basic needs. This is when the smoking habit has become a powerful dependency that is difficult to change. Continue reading ‘Quit Smoking – The 2 Sides Of Smoking’ »

In the first three parts of this article series, we have discussed how the reasons a person started smoking at an early age helped to build the psychological smoking mechanism. This mechanism begins to operate beyond conscious control because the smoker has long since forgotten why they started smoking. The first part of the process to remove smoking is to use special techniques to recall these early reasons. The second part of the process is to examine and remove the reasons a person continues to smoke.
In this article, we will discuss why smokers ignore the serious health consequences of smoking.
What Would You Do?
You’ve been smoking for over 25 years. Your mother has been a smoker for over 40 years. She calls you on the phone one day and says she’s been diagnosed with lung cancer. You watch your mother deteriorate and a few months later, she passes away. As a smoker, what would you do?
If you are like a client of mine, you’d keep right on smoking!
How Could This Be?
If you are part of the 76% of the population who are nonsmokers, you probably think this is outrageous. How could a person see what cigarettes did to their mother and continue to use them?
It’s the same reason that people have a hard time simply quitting cigarettes:
The Psychological Smoking Mechanism
This mechanism is created in most people before the age of 18. The average age is around 15 although some people start smoking even earlier. It is no accident that smoking starts during the time of puberty and the identity crisis. The identity crisis is an unpleasant period of childhood where there is confusion of self. The person is not a child, but not an adult either. They struggle to define themselves. Continue reading ‘Quit Smoking Cigarettes – How to Stop Part 4’ »

The smokers desire to handle a cigarette and feel the inhale usually out weighs giving up the habit without the aid of a cigarette fixation that most programs lack. There is one exception and that is the electronic cigarette. Most of the world never heard of electronic cigarettes until a few years ago. Technology has provided the smoker with the choice of selecting an alternative to the smoking problem in every corner of the land. E-Cig was one of the first to engage in the research and development of the electronic cigarette in 2003 and started marketing the product which has set a standard for others to follow in 2004. Internet World Wide Web site for marketing the electronic cigarette was created by E-cig around 2005. The electronic cigarette before 2005 had only one established taste and one fixed amount of nicotine per cig. Electronic cigarette providers today have greatly increased and improved by adding new popular product features like the new two piece cig to compliment the one piece, the identical traditional size cig to go with all the larger ones and the large choice of tastes and densities and new atomizers all at a competitive prices for refined smokers.
