The main stage - the refusal of smoking
Getting used to smoking is due to nicotine contained in tobacco. This substance acts soothing and relaxing, so people resort to smoking to relax after hard work, calm the nerves if they are alarming or stress, get more fun of food, just bored. After some time, the human brain programmed to receive pleasure and fight with pain, begins to associate pleasant sensations with smoking and constantly demand nicotine. Therefore, to successfully quit smoking, you need not only to wean your organism from nicotine, but also change your behavior and lifestyle. Acting only in the first direction, the success is almost impossible to achieve.
What you need to do to achieve the desired goal? Try to get emotional support from people close to you. That is, you must develop a certain behavior tactics on the initial period of smoking. True, some psychologists advise not to speak others about their intentions.
When your chosen day comes, from now on nothing should be more important for you. Now your task is to overcome the sharp desire to smoke when it will arise (usually lasts no more than 5-10 minutes). When this desire comes, you must confirm your determination to quit smoking and try to distract your attention to anything else.
Assistants and pseudopomposites
There are several ways to help quit smoking. The most common of them is to replace smoking by the use of nicotine-containing means. These are nicotine plasters, chewing gum, inhalers.
The mechanism of their action is the same: they provide nicotine access to the body, thereby protecting the person from unpleasant abstinence syndrome. At the same time, the stimulating effect of nicotine on the cardiovascular system is preserved, but the toxins contained in tobacco smoke are no longer entering the body. These funds can be used long enough until the thrust for cigarettes will disappear.
Nicotine plaster passes on the shoulder or thigh once a day and provides an admission to the body of a certain dose of nicotine through the skin. The course lasts 8-10 weeks. Every three weeks the plaster changes to a weaker. Some people have skin irritation under the plaster. In this case, next time you turn it out to another place. According to scientists, the advertised nicotine plaster is still far from perfect, in addition, nicotine enters the body quite different, «not cigarette», losing, obviously, on the way, all the favorite property with smokers, and at the same time efficiency.
Nicotine chewing gum (one of the most famous - Nicortte) provides nicotine intake through the mouth mucous membrane. Its disadvantage is unpleasant for some taste and the need for a long time, about 30 minutes, chew and keep in the mouth (if you chew to chew and smooth out the saliva, its effect decreases). Sometimes she causes a stomach disorder.
Nicotin inhaler in shape resembles a cigarette and allows you to inhale nicotine. Since its application imitates smoking cigarettes, he may seem like malicious smokers more efficient to remove the abstinence syndrome. However, you have to do about 80 «tightening» to get a dose of nicotine contained in a single plate that is not always convenient.
Another way to help quit smoking is the use of special drugs (according to the doctor's advice). They do not contain nicotine, but are antidepressants restoring mental balance in the initial period of uncoupling smoking. They allow you to get rid of rapid heartbeat and other negative symptoms related to nicotine consumption. They make sense to apply only «Void» Smokers.
The rinsing of the mouth with special solutions causing disgust for smoking. Cuban is the first in the world free from nicotine pill for dumping from smoking. She joins the symptoms of the body restructuring in the brain. The first three days of therapy, the smoker takes one tablet, then daily two and reduces gradually the number of cigarettes.
Alternative methods of reflection from smoking include acupuncture (reflexotherapy) and hypnosis. When needlerapy, needles are introduced into the ear shell, affecting certain structures of the brain. As a result, it is destroyed «Reflex smokers». The hypnosis method is that, bringing the patient to the state of relaxation, the doctor inspires that he disgusts smoking. It is believed that at the time of the manifestation of jurars, the patient «remember» These plants. The coefficient of success, according to the control checks, is 30%.
