Quit Smoking For A Healthy You By Walter Hilliam Plenty Of Beneficial Incentives To Quit Smoking
Anywhere a smoker goes nowadays there is somebody hinting to them that it is in there best health to quit smoking. Also, with many states and communities passing laws telling where a adult can light up, many have decided that it is worth the effort to quit smoking.
Not too long ago, there were very few organizations who cared about smoking. Frequently during that period smokers were viewed on television shows and in the movies lighting up their cigarettes. Albeit the earliest warnings about the health hazards of cigarettes, there was no real drive to get people to quit smoking.
When the facts of second-hand smoke dangers was initially presented people that smoked, often in the presence of children and other non-smokers, wanted more scientific facts to back that claim before they would quit smoking around others. Even with powerful evidence of the dangers, many are still finding it hard to quit smoking.
Smoking is an addictive obsession that normally begins when a person is in their teen years or early into their 20’s. It is very easy to become hooked on but not nearly as easy to quit smoking, as people would like to wish.
Addiction Is Mental And Physical
There is a physical addiction to nicotine, the main addictive drug in that can take about a week to work out of the system. The first 72 hours are considered the worst time when people quit smoking but after that the physical craving for nicotine diminishes. The remainder of the addiction is considered mental, although there are physical aspects to it as well.
Those who smoked, especially for most of their lives, find they have nothing to do with their hands,
which held onto a cigarette during their smoking years. In order to reduce the mental craving some turn to alcohol, which is something they rarely did while they were smoking. Weight gain is a common reality for new non-smokers, but the majority believe that losing weight will be easier than when they quit smoking.
Others surmise that just like becoming addicted to did not happen overnight, breaking the habit will take time as well. They have a slow withdrawal plan with a target date to quit smoking. Others find various means to break the habit, such as hypnosis, laser techniques and substitutes to wean them off the addictive habits. But most agree that they need to do whatever it takes to quit smoking for their health’s sake.
