Blackened Lungs!!

Smoking is estimated to account for the number one cause of lung cancer cases nation wide.  It's chilling to think about not only how smokers poison themselves, but what others are exposed to by breathing in the secondhand smoke. It affects the lives of millions across the world. Smoking is a nasty habit; it will generously contribute to give you Stained teeth, Lung diseases, Bad breath, Malodorous Clothes etc. So how can a smokers quiet and never use again? How have past smokers kicked the can on cigarettes?

     Before you start to quit you should know why it is so addictive to smoke.That is because it produces pleasurable sensations. First since nicotine is absorbed directly into the bloodstream the brain receives an almost instant dose with every puff of a cigarette, that’s the reason when trying to quiet smoking the first thought of having a cigarette should be ignored because your fighting more than cravings. Next nicotine primarily affects the mid-brain the part of the brain that controls moods and emotions.  At this point people who are addicted to smoking must first take heart and acknowledge the psychological side effects and the toxins that travel in and out there body.
    
If you just started your journey to quieting you might find it extremely difficult not to pick a cigarette. If your a smokers who continue to ignore the facts about nicotine. It might be because you are stressed or upset. First ask yourself does Cigarettes calm me down when I get into a stressful argument? Then ask do I smoke as soon as I wake up or step out the door?  If you found that it alleviates stress and you light one up during the process of stress.That might be because nicotine primarily target area affects the mid-brain that is the part of the brain that controls moods and emotions. You get an instant craving for nicotine as so as stress occurs. Foremost the effects of nicotine are noticed immediately in the body. A great alternative stress reliever is to hold your breath every four second then release. Doing exercise or going for a light jog listen to a favorite song can also get you into a better mood. But the one true way to avoid the effects of cigarette is to just quit.
    
     During the time your quitting smoking you can calm down the negative feelings or cravings that you have. Some other great alternative can be to try using a patch or chewing gum. Pop in any of you best childhood flavor of gum. Try carrying a pack on you when you start to get cravings. Most people find it useful when giving up smoking. Use the gum to curb side the cravings attacks as soon as they begin. Using the nicotine patch is another choice that I and most have tried. The patch comes in phases that you must complete. I would strongly caution against using the patch, because it provides nicotine into your blood system. There are some side effects to using the patch so be careful and read the warning label. It would be a good idea to get professional medical advice before using a nicotine patch.
    
     At this point, if you haven’t quit using the patch or gum try to quit cold turkey. This step is not the easiest a can become difficult, because you have to consider that your brain is still craving the pleasure sensation it get from the nicotine. If you find yourself literally dieing to have one try not to reach for a cigarette and see what happens. When you start to go cold turkey cigarettes will cause anxiety and cravings when a person is withheld the nicotine. Cold turkey will work for most individuals who are serious about the side affects of nicotine abuse. It’s a long process that you have to dedicate yourself too. That can take at least up to three weeks before your body can begin to make a turnaround from the toxins.
    
The final step to quitting is for new comers to tell themselves that, I have to overcome both the physical addiction to nicotine and the association that I have made thought my life between smoking and the pleasurable sensations that arrives after wards. Some will definitely find it more difficult than other smokers to quit. But you must understand that you have the will power to stop and your motivations for quitting will carry you further to that successful goal.
