Make quitting easy

By Audie T. MarshPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

Smoking has "every harm but no benefit". It hurts both the lungs and "almost all parts of the body" you know. If you want to protect your body, you can only stop smoking. Non-smokers have an average life span of ten years longer than those who smoke. Therefore, no matter how "smokers" you are, no matter how much you can't let go of this habit, please find the "appropriate method" and stop smoking.

"Cigarette addiction" does exist:

Some people always say that they "have a smoking addiction that is difficult to quit", but some non-smokers may not believe it. Indeed, this unnecessary thing like addiction to cigarettes really exists. "Nicotine" is the biggest culprit leading to addiction. Nicotine itself has the effect of "excitement + refreshing".

As for the so-called "addiction", after nicotine addiction, if you do not smoke for a long time, when the concentration of nicotine in the brain drops to a certain level, the smoker will have headaches, irritability, nausea, and inattention. Concentration and other symptoms, then there will be an urge to smoke a cigarette.

E-cigarettes, smoking cessation effects are not desirable:

In July 2019, the "World Health Organization" declared to the public that the use of e-cigarette products cannot help the human body to quit smoking at all, and it should be strictly controlled by legislation.

People who use e-cigarettes to quit smoking do not actually solve the problem of "nicotine addiction" through e-cigarettes. It just allows smokers to change a way to satisfy their addiction.

In general, "quit smoking" should do this:

"Quit smoking" is a business, and we should treat it like hypertension, diabetes and other chronic diseases; make all preparations to fight a protracted battle, and we need to work together through behavior, psychology, and drugs.

Although many people have "relapsed" soon after quitting smoking, that is just an example; everything is different from person to person. People who want to quit smoking must have confidence, step by step, and truly quit smoking. Harmful habits.

For those who are planning to quit smoking, or who have difficulty quitting smoking, please list yourself a "detailed and specific plan" first, and this plan should be a "suitable plan", for example, set a memorable day as "Quit Smoking Day", and then announce the "Good News of Your Quit" to all your friends and relatives, and let them help to supervise and urge you.

If your addiction to cigarettes is really great, if your addiction is too strong to be "uncontrollable", it is recommended that you seek the help of doctors and drugs, strictly implement the smoking cessation plan according to the detailed rules, and let yourself truly get out of the habit of "smoking".

When quitting smoking, the details that should be done will help your "success" in quitting:

When the addiction comes, in fact, as long as we work hard for about five minutes, this feeling can completely subside on its own. Of course, these five minutes are a test of personality quality. The people who can really carry the past are "powerful people."

When you become addicted to smoking, it is recommended that you do this (a coup to quit smoking):

Try to stretch your waist and make yourself feel "comfortable";

Take deep breaths, 15 times each;

Make yourself awake and divert attention by brushing your teeth or washing your face;

Drink a glass of "slightly cold water" and give yourself enough psychological hints.

Go to a "non-smoking public place", such as a movie theater, library, etc., and restrain yourself from smoking from the outside.

Use meaningful things to divert attention instead of smoking; for example, active hobbies such as planks, brisk walking, playing ball, and practicing calligraphy.

Smoking hurts many and serious injuries, far greater than you think; if you want not to harm your body, you can only "quit smoking". For your physical and mental health, I hope you can find "a suitable way to quit smoking" so that your body tends to be healthy.
