Quitting smoking is easy, but what about staying quit?

Mark Twain's oft used words, "It's easy to quit smoking, I've done it many times," are a flippant but poor cover-up for the guilt and suffering many smokers go through in their efforts to stay permanently smoke-free.

There's a lot of good material available in the stop smoking market, but how to stay quit and stay sane can loom as a challenge.

As the days pass and maybe turn into weeks, months and even years, there's often a yawning gap that smokers previously filled with all the rituals of smoking.

A good solid method for beating nicotine addiction will teach long term strategies for successfully coping.

It should teach smokers how to unlearn the habit they have programmed into their brain. It will show ways to toss out the desire for smoking, rather than just toss out th...

To the millions of smokers throughout the world, the prospect of quitting brings about conflicting emotions. On one hand the daunting prospect, the fear of the withdrawal symptoms and the feeling of 'what will I do if I don't smoke?' and on the other hand there is what I have labeled the 'counter arguments' which state; 'why should I give up if I don't want to?' or 'I'm too old to stop now' or 'no need to quit completely... If I cut down to 3 or 4 a day then that will be OK'.

These 'counter-arguments' are obvious signs that there is no real intention to stop smoking for good. If there were then these counter-arguments would not be present and the person would already have given up smoking for good.

There are many milestones in the process of giving up smoking;
The First hour without a cigarette
The first day,
the first week,
the first month,

If you're a smoker, you should know that smoking has many effects on you. Some of them are reversible, while some aren't. Some are long term effects and some are on short term.

On of the main damage caused by smoking is to cancel the arteries ability to expand. The repercussions are multiple. Recently, a study targeting the condition of 8,000 Australian smokers has concluded that almost one in 10 subjects experienced erectile problems.

The theory is that the toxins released in cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide mainly, are absorbed in the blood. They can damage vessels and cause the reducing of blood flow in your arteries. Maintaining an erection requires a surge of blood to the penis. If they are healthy, arteries get larger to allow the increased flow. But arteries damaged by cigarette smoking cannot expand as much, causing an inadequate erection. Other damages c...

If you are considering quitting smoking, you know that you have a battle to fight. But what you might not know is that there are other weapons available for you to use other than nicotine gums, patches, and other pills. There are also natural stop-smoking herbs.

The trouble with using a product like a nicotine gum is that it still contains nicotine, which you are addicted to. Now, consider the herb Lobelia: lobelia contains a substance called lobeline, which is like nicotine, only it is not addictive. So, you can replace your nicotine craving with lobeline; then, whenever you feel healthier, you can simply stop taking lobeline. The lobelia plant has been used to make cigarettes, tea, gum, and other products, so you can choose what works best for you. A word of caution: lobelia is a strong herb, so be careful with how much you use. You may want to consult your doctor for help in ...

Nicotine Replacement Therapy treats your psychological cravings by providing small quantities of nicotine to the body, once you quit smoking. The nicotine products are available in the form of gums, lozenges, patches and inhalers. You can take any one of them to meet your nicotine need. As your urge to smoke re...

I have been running the google adsense adverts on a number of my websites for around a year now. I have to admit that I am nowhere near the stage when I would be able to consider retiring on its income. I am quite envious of these people that you read about who are saying that they are earning two thousand dollars a week on the program but am fairly sure that most people would be happy to earn six hundred dollars a month. What adsense has helped me to do, quite strangely enough, is to stop smoking. I will explain how in this article.

In the first couple of months after I had had added the google adsense code onto some of my websites, I would go and check how much it had earned on a particular day and would be happy if it was over ten dollars. The average daily figure at this stage was around five or six dollars.

I wanted to find ways of attracting more visitors to these we...
