Quit Smoking? What could be easier. I've done this dozens of timesMark TWAIN
Sooner or later almost every smoker comes to the conclusion that it's time with this tie.
The reasons can be different: the work began repression, and even in winter you have to run to smoke on the street; health began to pozalivatj - bouts of morning cough suspiciously delayed; appearance leaves much to be desired - skin fades, the fingers turn yellow, hair and breath smell so very disgusting... there are many Options, and each has his own.
Here are just implement a good idea in practice it turns out not everybody at once. While doctors say that the vast majority of smokers are able to quit for yourself that the physical addiction to nicotine is many times less than that of alcohol or drugs. This is the first difficulty.
And the second complexity is that the methods and tools that once and for all is promised deliverance from tobacco dependence - there is an ocean, and to navigate it just can not even trained in addiction issues man. The choice of such that the eyes run in my head starts disorder, and his hands automatically get out of the pack another cigarette.
The three sources and three component parts
Whole lot of methods of getting rid of tobacco dependence can be divided into three broad categories.
The first group methods based on therapeutic suggestion in the broad sense of the word.
The second group
- associated reflexotherapy (acupuncture, electro, moxibustion, acupressure and so on).
The third group include various drugs, as nicotinamidase, and various other, allowing the body easier and faster to overcome the nicotine abstinence syndrome.
Usually create their own methods, combined methods for all three groups. Moreover, from the masters "cocktail" is created for each patient.
The only thing that matches the majority of doctors to quit Smoking you need immediately. Just 30 minutes after the last puff concentration of nicotine in the blood drops, and if this time to endure the physical need for another "dose" will leave after only three days.
To each his own
However, if all was so simply, smokers around us was negligible. So not all so is simple. And, indeed, the dependence on cigarettes is very, very individual. Let's try to understand who and why we smoke and how we should act in order to get rid of this habit.
Nervous
This man smokes to calm down, collect my thoughts, to pull myself together. Often smokes at night in bed. Most often it is characterized by explosive or simply intense emotions, mostly negative. Choleric, melancholic or eerie mixture of both. While it may be unusual, creative person.
What to do? There's always need a doctor and the same individual "cocktail", which should be carefully selected, viveris all the ingredients. It is not excluded that it will take medicamental correction - at least sedatives. And, of course, have to give up alcohol because our body as cigarettes and alcohol are linked, so to speak, at the genetic level, and for this type of personality a glass of wine or a shot of vodka can be the "trigger" that starts the familiar and fully automatic programme of action (cigarette - lighter - delay). People may even at first not to notice that the smoke again.
Pragmatist
Cigarette for him is the only form of recreation. He gets pleasure from the process, often smokes cigars, cigarillos or a pipe, which is tightly attached to the image - remember Churchill or his fellow Sherlock Holmes. For pragmatics important ritual component - say, afternoon coffee and cigarette, or cigar and cognac. Most often it is sanguine, strong-willed and determined, endowed with a certain power: businessman or politician.
What to do? Doctors have nothing to do here. For these people, often the only authority they are themselves, others, including doctors, for them is not crucial. No hypnosis, no needles, no psychotherapy in this case won't work, because people used to believe in themselves. And quit Smoking, he can only in the case, if he so decides. To push him to such a step may, for example, Hobbies with high physical activity (mountain bike, mountaineering, rafting on mountain rivers, etc).
Dependent
Much pleasure from Smoking it does not receive. For the dependent is a way of communication. He begins to smoke for the company, and at a very early age. At work never misses a smoke break, and not because she wants to smoke, but because it should be.
What to do? Independently of this man does not give up cigarette ever. You will need a very long course of psychotherapy and psychological rehabilitation (the process can take up to a couple of years). Respond well to hypnosis, reacts to all the "horror stories" about Smoking, the ideal target audience for anti-Smoking (social) advertising.
Love
And selfless love to a pig squeal. In a cigarette, of course. Smoking adores, is drawn into the ranks of smokers almost from the first puff. What is important to them entourage is a beautiful lighter, shiny tutu, and various accessories. In most cases, such people are kinesthetic - that is, perceive the world through tactile sensations, they all need to touch, to feel, to twist in your hands.
What to do? To force quit Smoking such a person is possible only at gunpoint or other threats to life and health. Can help drugs that cause nausea during Smoking, physical therapy, acupressure, acupuncture, i.e. the impact through touch. It is very important to give some kind of replacement for cigarettes though Sony Playstation Portable, though the latest "cool" thing don't want a cell phone, even a PDA with stylus, though any hobby that requires working with your hands. Otherwise, such a person will return to cigarettes, especially if his work is linked with meetings and long seat office Desk is hell for the tactile.
"Excuses"
1.
Classic women's "excuse" - I don't want to quit because they are afraid of getting fat
If you give up Smoking, then:
- after 20 minutes you have a normal heart rate and reduced blood pressure;
after 24 hours you will decrease the risk of myocardial infarction;
- after 2 days you will return to the normal sensations of taste and smell;
- after 2-3 weeks normalize lung function, improve microcirculation, oxygen supply, and you will become noticeably easier to walk;
- after 1 year the risk of myocardial infarction will be reduced twice in comparison with one day of quitting Smoking;
- after 5 years the risk of cancer of the nasopharynx and esophagus will be reduced by half, and the risk of stroke and heart attack will be almost the same as a non-smoker;
after 10 years, your chances of getting lung cancer will be compared with those of nonsmokers.
Indeed, many refused cigarettes begin to spread out before our eyes. Here are just a Smoking cessation nothing to do with it. Just eventually restored the sensitivity of taste receptors in the mouth, and even the most ordinary food starts to seem divinely delicious. How can you resist? Here begins the increased absorption of all the yummy within reach.
It is possible to avoid weight gain? Of course. Just need to keep the house fresh fruits, vegetables, and by them to quench their thirst for new taste sensations. Especially in this case of sour berries like cranberries, winter only to find it problematic. Some helps small bottle of plain mineral water, which they carry with them. Have a desire to smoke or go to the shop cake - stopped OTELI a few SIPS, and you can go on.
Number 2. "Excuse" for very advanced users: Smoking helps protect against Parkinson's disease
Indeed, there was a study of American scientists. They even suggested that tobacco contains some neuroprotector. Just to highlight it still failed. Yes and it comes not in its pure form, and in company with four thousand other components of tobacco smoke, for example, cyanides, benzpyrene, ammonia, cadmium, and certainly other harmful substances. So a protective effect, even if it is present, is at no risk of developing a whole heap of diseases.
And does it make sense?
How the body reacts smoker to refuse tobacco, depends on the state of health, age, and, most importantly, from the stage of the so-called nicotinic syndrome people quit Smoking. And yet, if you quit Smoking, not "daquiris" fatal and incurable diseases, the body eventually gets rid yourself of the consequences of poisoning his poisons in tobacco smoke.
Studies show that the pathological changes of the respiratory system, for example, due to poisoning by the products of combustion of tobacco, are compensated on average during the year after people quit Smoking. Yes, and other indicators are gradually returning to normal.
So, if you can give up cigarettes yourself, fine. Well, if it is necessary to address to experts, medical experts, psychotherapists. Preferably, the recommendations they treated friends, colleagues, virtual friends. And all will come true.
