You've decided that you want to try to quit smoking, but you're not sure how to go about it.
Your choice will be a matter of personal selection.
There is no fool-proof way to stop smoking and what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another.
You have to believe that the method you choose will be the right one for you.
The cold turkey method works for some, yet others give up quickly and just go back to their full smoking habit.
With the cold turkey method you just stop.
Most often your body can't handle the fact that you are no longer feeding it with nicotine like you did regularly in the past.
Nicotine is a very powerful and addictive drug.
When you stop smoking cold turkey, your body goes into shock from not receiving the nicotine and rebels against you.
Your concentration is lost, you get headaches and an upset stomach.
You become short-tempered and irritable.
All of that is your brain calling out for nicotine.
Another method involves cutting back.
You try to eliminate smoking a cigarette at a usual time, like after breakfast, and gradually smoking less each day.
Or you may try to go longer between smokes again attempting to smoke less each day.
With the cutting back method, your hope is to reduce your smoking consumption every day to a point where you feel you can give up cigarettes altogether.
The cutting back method might be fine if you can experience peace and tranquility in your life day to day.
However, it takes just one unexpected or unpleasant, stressful situation to send you back to your former smoking capacity.
Have you tried the gum, patches, or sprays on the market today? The theory is that these products will replace your smoking while still feeding nicotine to your system.
Over time, you gradually reduce the dosage of these products to start weaning yourself from being nicotine dependent.
Try to find out the success rate if you are thinking about using one of these products.
The best of these usually have a success rate below 50%.
Many people have had favorable results in giving up smoking through psychological therapy.
Aversion therapy has had extra benefits for some.
Hypnosis has worked to a degree for some smokers.
Now don't think you sit down, get put into a trance, and in a few minutes you are a non-smoker.
Follow up sessions are often required.
The bottom line is that you truly have to want to quit smoking.
You can't be successful at it if you are trying to stop smoking to please someone else.
You have to want to do this for yourself.
There are also self help programs that can make quitting smoking a bit easier for you.
Find one that will ease your burden as you become a non-smoker.
We wish you well.
