How to Quit Smoking
Everyone knows smoking is dangerous for you the same way that everyone knows that eating a McDonald’s every day is dangerous for you, yet people continue to do both. It’s not that people are dumb, it’s that smoking is very addicting because your body craves nicotine. Nicotine enters the body by hitching a ride with the tar in cigarette smoke and gets absorbed into the bloodstream in your lungs, leaving the tar behind. It takes about tne seconds to feel the effects of nicotine, another ten before it reaches the rest of your body.
Cold turkey, patches, sprays, gum, and all sorts of home remedies have been made to help people quit smoking but so many don’t work because they don’t focus on the reasons why we smoke, they only focus on our biological need for nicotine. While it’s important to focus on that, you didn’t start smoking because you craved nicotine, your body hadn’t learned that yet. You smoked because you thought it would make you look cool or you thought it would relieve your stress. You continued because you were worried that quitting would make you fat or you felt depressed without the social connections you made with other smokers.
That’s why this program on how to quit smoking is so powerful. In addition to tackling the biological aspects of smoking, the program offers information on how to overcome the other reasons we smoke like weight loss and stress reduction.
