Want to quit smoking? Cigarettes are terrible for your health, yet they’re hard to let go of. Yet read on for some strategies and tools that can help you quit smoking for good.

First of all, if want to stop smoking cigarettes, give yourself a big pat on the back. This is probably the single most important improvement you can make to achieve better health.

I won’t bore you with a list of reasons why you should stop smoking. Chances are you’re all too familiar with them — and have tried numerous times before, but without success.

Why would this year be different?

Let me give you a few important strategies that can really help you quit smoking and stay quit too:

1) You take the task of quitting smoking seriously

What do I mean by that? Exactly what it says. Just because the non-smokers around you don’t think it’s a big deal doesn’t mean they’re right. In fact, kicking the smoking habit may be the most difficult thing you’ll ever do.

Smoking feeds your pleasure circuits in ways few other things do. And the withdrawal symptoms can be hellish. In fact, smoking is more addictive than heroin.

And that doesn’t even get to the social aspects of smoking — the fact that it may be pleasurable, that it’s part of your routine, that you may have built a social life around those cigarette breaks you take throughout the day, and so on. In fact, you may be worried that without smoking you won’t get those breaks anymore.

So the first step should be to acknowledge the enormity of what you’re about to undertake — and promise yourself to be gentle with yourself. AND to give yourself every tool you can to help you succeed.

2) Give yourself tools

I stopped smoking myself — many years ago. It was very hard. I stopped many times before I was able to make it stick.

One thing that finally helped me do it was Nicorette chewing gum. That allowed me to separate the pleasurable part of smoking and the social aspects from the physically addictive part.

I was able to deal with those first, while still getting my nicotine fix. But I hated the gum, so eventually, I relied on it less and less.

I also acknowledged that this would be hard. I had proof of it too — all those many attempts that led to a re-start of smoking.

And if there’s a special reason — special to you — that might motivate you to stick with it this time around, by all means, use it. Maybe you’d like to avoid wrinkles, or impotence, or the fact that each time you try to stop — unsuccessfully — you put on another 5 pounds.

3) Get MORE tools — and support

Give yourself some support. Whether it’s a group or just some friends who are supportive of you.

And then, consider that there are even more and better tools out there now to help you quit smoking than there have ever been before. Nicorette is available over the counter — no more need for doctor’s appointments and embarrassing admissions that you STILL need it. And there are new prescription drugs that may help you stop smoking cigarettes too.

This article is all about “Anne.” Anne is a hypothetical smoker. You might be able to relate to Anne if you are a smoker who’s been trying to quit…in fact, this story might sound VERY familiar to some of you…

Anne is 28 years old & she is a self made woman who works in an important position in a bank downtown. Anne runs marathons on the weekends & she’s been competing in sports since she was a child.

Anne’s been on her own for the last 10 years & she has slowly but steadily climbed the corporate ladder to get where she is now. It has been a long journey, but for someone with her stamina & drive, it really wasn’t that tough…

Anne started smoking in junior high to be “cool” & she’s been a casual smoker ever since. She usually has amazing will power & can overcome just about any obstacle thrown in her way- her career has certainly proved that…

However, Anne just can’t seem to quit smoking. No matter what she does, she’ll eventually find herself buying a pack of cigarettes. And when she buys a new pack, she almost feels like a robot…she feels like someone else is controlling her actions as she puts the cigarettes into her bag & checks out. (In fact, sometimes she doesn’t even realize that she’s bought a new pack until after she’s 1/2 way home…!)

What is Anne’s problem? Why can’t Anne just quit smoking for once & forever..?

How tough can it really be?

Apparently tougher than you think because Anne HAS semi-quit smoking 8 separate times during the last decade. However, before she knows it, she finds herself smoking again.  It just seems sooo hard to kick the habit forever…

Like a lot of smokers, Anne keeps asking herself privately: “Why is it so hard to quit smoking…I’d love to quit because I know this can’t be good for my health…& I’d save a LOT of money if I just gave up smoking for once & for all!”

So, why CAN’T someone like Anne seem to quit smoking? After all, she’s got a lot of drive & will power..what makes smoking so much different?

Is it different? Is it a physical addiction….is it psychological addiction…or is it both- a combination…?

A lot of current & ex-smokers will tell you how hard it is to quit. And a lot of smokers are just like Anne…they started smoking a long time ago & would like to quit, but some how they just can’t seem to get the job done.

Well, there is good news for all the smokers out there like Anne!

There ARE products on the market to help you quit smoking….and some people have had GREAT results after investing in them…

But, as any ex smoker will tell you, quitting smoking takes a lot of courage & determination…however, the rewards make it well worth it….

Just imagine what it would be like to never crave a cigarette again. Imagine what it would be like to wake up in the morning knowing that you aren’t going to waste your hard earned money buying cigarettes…Knowing that you’ve kissed smoking goodbye forever…Now, wouldn’t THAT be a good feeling?

You bet it would!

However, the big issue seems to be that there are so many “quit smoking” products on the market that it’s almost impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff…

With all the different quit smoking products out there, trying to find an effective solution can be a little bit tricky. A quick Google search will reveal tons of articles, websites, & product reviews for you to read online as there are a million different methods that people use to quit smoking….some WAY more effective than others…As always, it’s best to do as much research as you can before investing your money…

So, what kind of quit smoking product should you invest in?

The truth is that the answer MAY shock you!

Most people will quit smoking cigarettes cold turkey, they haven’t got a fixed date. If you’re able to do it this way then you’re free to try, however keep one thing in mind: Recent statistics show that over 80% of the smokers that don’t fix a particular date and really make a promise to quit fail. I can understand, no smoker will quit all alone, everyone needs a little extra help and so did I.

Here’s one thing I did and it functions like clockwork, try to plan the exact number of cigarettes you will smoke every day until the quitting day and slowly reduce the number of cigarettes day after day, or just cut them in half. Try to change your brands every day this will stop you from enjoying smoking cigarettes.

When you decide to quit smoking cigarettes it’s always better to search for companion, a friend of yours that’s also a smoker. Influence one another to quit. There’s not another better way to stay away from cigarettes. Keep chewing gum, strong menthol candies such as Fisherman cinnamon and brush your teeth every time after your eat. This way you’ll stop enjoying cigarettes so much, you’ll even start rejecting them consciously. Plan your journey to the auspicious day in a different manner. Quitting is possible!

Wait! You haven’t even planned to quit smoking cigarettes yet, but even before you fix the exact quitting date try to think deeply about the rewards and benefits of quitting smoking for good and how your life and health status will be improved.

A few solid tips for quitting smoking cigarettes

Drink plenty of plain water (no sodas of any kind of acid drinks). If you didn’t know, acid drinks affect your entire body functioning, especially the bones, teeth, gastric and the nervous system. By drinking water you’ll let your body purifying process be a lot easier. If you can’t cope with plain water drink tea (Green Tea is highly recommended, it relieves tension, anxiety and the craving’s symptoms).

Try to avoid situations where other’s may influence you to smoke and even avoid bars and restaurants where smoking is permitted. Keep your mouth busy with things like chewing gum, sour or strong menthol candies. Lastly think of someone you love, and make a promise that you will quit smoking cigarettes for your benefit as well as your loved one’s.

Another easy way to quit smoking is by teaching and manipulating your mind to stop the nicotine addiction for ever. This can easily be done with hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) which we highly recommend. The reason why NLP is so successful is mainly because quitting smoking cigarettes is only a mind game, you need to learn how to cope without them and live a healthy and long life.

The week I quit smoking cigarettes Giclee Poster Print by John P. Larkin, 8×10

Many people try to quit smoking however only a small percentage use the right stop smoking aids. I believe most of the smokers haven’t got the will power and definitely they need advice in order to succeed in their ‘quit smoking journey’.

If you’re a smoker looking to quit you might often ask yourself: How am I going to struggle with the cravings? How am I going to handle the mornings without smoking a cigarette and drink my coffee? Does this sound familiar? What if just after one session of hypnotherapy and NLP you will find it incredibly easy to become and remain a happy and confident non-smoker for life?

Quitting smoking isn’t easy and you may wonder why hypnotherapy and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) are so successful. Both our beliefs about smoking and our habitual smoking behaviors reside only in our unconscious mind. For this reason smokers wish to quit whilst conscious on the other side the powerful unconscious mind simply won’t let them. When lighting up the first few cigarettes, smokers install unhelpful beliefs directly into their unconscious mind usually not realizing that quitting cigarettes will be so difficult later on and avoiding any advice that smoking is deadly.

Here’s why most people fail when they decide to learn how to quit smoking cigarettes:

At the same time smokers make a conscious decision to choose those perceived benefits of feeling more relaxed and more confident, over the initial physical reactions of inhaling the deadly fumes. So as time passes the uncomfortable physical reactions start to subside as a result of their newly formed nicotine addiction. They started to mistake the relief of feeding that addiction with feelings of relaxation and confidence.

Years later, after possibly smoking tens of thousands of maybe hundreds of thousands of cigarettes smokers only increase their unhelpful beliefs and trained their unconscious minds wrongly. A cigarette will not make you feel better nor make you feel more confident or relaxed, actually it’s the opposite. Hypnotherapy and NLP allows you to retrain your unconscious mind of a smoker to automatically change your false beliefs about the nicotine addiction.

The often mood swings, withdrawal pangs of irritability and smoking cravings will vanish with NLP. This is why you should try to quit and choose the right stop smoking aid. Hypnotherapy replaces the cravings and irritability with overall happiness and improved self-confidence.
