Just about anyone on this planet is capable of quitting smoking. I quit smoking for myself and my family. There's so many diseases out there from smoking today - it really shocked me. There are many methods of quitting out there - be aware of the chemical ones with your physician. If you have gone so far as to take the decision to quit smoking now, you have already traveled a long way on the path to recovery. So many treatments involve continuing to feed the patient nicotine - well, that's the root of the problem...that's what you want to get AWAY from!
Cigarettes
Smoking is estimated to be responsible for 30% of all cancer deaths and specifically related to about 87% of lung cancer cases. Smoking, like any addiction, especially addictions that involve chemicals, is a sickness. After smoking for many, many years, I can tell you from first-hand experience that smoking definately becomes a part of yourself...and who you are. Smoking sometimes happens to be the root cause of all bad habits. Smoking can tremendously raise your risk of high blood pressure and other aeortic problems.
That nasty chemical...
Nicotine is suprisingly addictive! Out of all the chemicals being used in the US today, nicotine is one of the most widely used ones. The addiction to nicotine has made me feel overpowered and controlled in life. It is now a scientific FACT that nicotine is one of the planet's most highly addictive chemical substances known to man! You may have questions about nicotine addiction and how to quit. You must truely see the harmful effects of this nasty drug.
The respiratory system
By the time you quit, about 90 days after your stop date, you'll begin to notice about a 30% improvement with your lung function. If you keep smoking your risks of getting lung cancer will continue to grow more and more. However, once a person stops smoking, the risk for lung cancer levels off and may even decrease. Smokers of filter-tip cigarettes may have a slightly lower risk of lung cancer than those who smoke non-filter cigarettes; but they still have greatly increased risks of heart attack and emphysema.
Support
You can get support in many ways: Make sure your co-workers & friends know you're gonna quit. Also let them know you would appreciate their guidance. Educate yourself on smoking - and patience is very important as well. When you quit smoking you may feel like giving up. It is not easy to do! If it was then everyone would be quit like BAM! But when you're armed with information and know it may be a rocky road ahead, it makes it that much easier to do once you put your mind to it.
Cessation/Quit it!
Unfortuntately, many many people quit a smoking cessation plan and give up too soon. The REAL quit plan starts in your mental head and THEN goes into your physical body.
Concluding for now...
Remember: patience, patience patience! Most people try to quit smoking several times before they kick the habit for good, so don�t beat yourself up if you start smoking again. You'll notice talking to others that have kicked the habit also helps tremendously.
