Nicotine in tobacco is one of the most addictive chemicals, and it is very common that once you smoke, you smoke for life. I’ll share some advice with you from my own experience. First, there is a sentence to everyone, can quit smoking people, can make a lot of things!
1, if the secret, one is determination, one is perseverance. If you really want to quit smoking, quit smoking immediately, you can not go to gradually reduce the amount, because that is often self-deception, the last remaining one or two a day is always surrendered, afraid to slowly add back, suddenly quit smoking will not make you sick, in addition to the reaction to quit smoking a little obvious.
2, quit smoking do not tomorrow and tomorrow to push back, a push a year two years ten years have passed, a push again and again push accidentally on the old on the sick, then quit on the late. I often feel that what you can’t do today, you can’t do later.
3, always refer to the first, do not need any other way. Set a point in time and start quitting from that time onwards. If you feel the need to gradually reduce the amount, or switch to e-cigarettes and then gradually reduce the nicotine content of the e-cigarette liquid, specify a date to completely break off.
4, for example, now smoke 20 cigarettes a day, reduce 1 a day until 20 days later completely cut off. Don’t be reluctant, there must be a day to say goodbye, or you will never quit. Quitting smoking is difficult mainly because people can’t stand the withdrawal reaction of quitting. As long as you are not afraid to face this temporary withdrawal reaction, you can succeed in quitting smoking.
5, when you quit smoking tell all your close people, family, friends and colleagues about your decision (for example, send it to your WeChat circle of friends and ask them to supervise you). Everyone will be very happy. You can’t help but lewdly turn out a cigarette when you face them, face you a word manly man said, you will feel ashamed.
6, decided to quit smoking, you can also write a note table up to hang on the wall, sign your name and press the red handprint! The first thing you need to do is to read it a few times when you want to smoke again and think about the great decision you made to tell yourself not to indulge and to stick with it! There’s no such thing as not being able to hold on! This is not the same as eating, not eating will kill you, this will not!
7, quit smoking before you can think of all the harm of smoking (such as lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, shortened life expectancy, premature aging, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, low immunity, bad breath, etc.) and the benefits of quitting smoking (such as physical fitness, energy, sleep improvement, lung cancer and cardiovascular disease incidence significantly reduced, longer life expectancy, etc.) are written down and placed in a prominent position, and then you want to smoke again When you want to smoke again, read it properly and think about how you made the right and sensible decision at that time.
8. Nicotine patches, nicotine contained in e-cigarettes, and smoke-free pills are effective in quitting smoking, but if you do not have a big withdrawal reaction after quitting smoking, you can disregard them. If the electronic cigarette contains nicotine is also addictive, just less harmful, but for some people ineffective, because they feel no real cigarette is good to smoke! So will also change back to the real smoke!
9, the world does not exist and the real cigarette “good” but harmless electronic cigarette, just like there is no “good” but not drunk wine, the so-called enjoyment must pay the price of health, there is no such thing as cheap, give and take, must give up this “Enjoyment” in order to get healthy.
10, smoking for a long time, holding a cigarette in your hand, exhaling smoke formed a habit, a memory, electronic cigarettes can momentarily make up for this missing memory, you can smoke a few weeks after quitting for a short period of time, gradually reduce the nicotine content in the liquid, and finally replaced with 0 nicotine liquid, and if you smoke electronic cigarettes for a long time, you can not give up, can not let go, it is easy to switch back to the real cigarette.
11, about a week before quitting smoking (especially the first three days) most want to smoke again, insist on coming over the victory. In fact, it is not difficult to persevere, in the end, smoking is an indulgence, not a necessary thing, after quitting the main enemy includes a momentary unaccustomed and some not very serious withdrawal reaction.
12, for some people, the first week of quitting smoking may become some depression, anxiety, irritability, drowsiness, slow reaction, insomnia, listlessness, distraction, drifting feeling, sometimes certain symptoms will last for several weeks, this is the withdrawal symptoms, usually do not matter, the body needs some time to re-adapt to a smoke-free state, these discomfort a few days or a few weeks later will gradually ease.
14, if the depression and anxiety after quitting smoking is intense and persistent, you should come to the hospital under the guidance of a psychiatrist to quit smoking while applying some antidepressants, this situation may indicate that usually you have a lot of depression and anxiety, and these bad feelings have been relieved by smoking, long-term smokers and long-term alcoholics, almost all have anxiety, depression and these emotional problems.
15. Similarly, people with chronic bad moods also commonly have problems with smoking and alcohol abuse. They will feel bitter, hopeless, frustrated and unable to see the meaning of life for a long time, so they do not love their bodies and are committing chronic suicide by smoking and drinking day by day. In such a case, it is necessary to find a psychiatrist to analyze and deal with their emotional problems in a timely manner, and when their emotions improve, they will naturally be able to quit smoking and drinking.
Smokers’ lungs are as dirty as the old range hoods, the difference is that you can regularly wipe the oil from the hoods, but you can’t wipe the black oil from your lungs! It helps to see more autopsy photos of smokers’ lungs after they die. You can also put this picture on the desktop of your cell phone or computer, or print it out and put it in your room or in the area where you usually smoke, which is printed on cigarette boxes in many countries, as well as the phone number of the quit line. Then think about the fact that after you quit smoking your lungs will gradually become as red and clear as they were when you were a child, and it will be worth it to quit.
By ancient standards, it is unfilial to trash the body given to you by your parents in such a way!
Before you quit smoking, you should not take it lightly and fully understand the challenges you will encounter in the process of quitting. If you have been smoking for many years, you have formed a series of habits: smoking when you get up, smoking on the way to work, smoking after dinner, smoking when you are tired of work, smoking when you are busy, smoking in the car, smoking on the way home, smoking when you are upset, smoking when you are lonely, smoking when you encounter things that are difficult to deal with, smoking when you think, smoking a bunch of cigarettes at the drinking table (handing each other cigarettes), smoking with friends who are smokers (light cigarettes), and smokers friends chatting when smoking a cigarette, smoking a cigarette before going to bed.
All of these form a solid memory, a conditioned reflex, and every time you get to the appropriate situation you remember to smoke. It is important to realize that in all these situations you have become accustomed to the company of smoke, the smell of smoke, the action of smoking, and the feeling of smoke being inhaled.
Whenever you get into these situations, your body will act like an alarm clock to remind you that it’s time to smoke! So after you quit smoking, you need to get used to the feeling of not having a cigarette with you, one by one, so that when your body receives the reminder that it’s time to smoke, it reminds your body: I’ve quit smoking!
At this point you can switch to sugar-free gum and chew it. The thing to remember is that this is simply a habit, a bad habit, not how much you need a cigarette and how addicted you really are. You can make a list of the situations where you are most accustomed to smoking to remind yourself to take precautions.
It’s easy to quit smoking, but hard to “keep it up. After you quit, there will be many times when you want to return to smoking. There is one situation where it is easy to return to smoking: when you go out for a drink and have too much to drink, your friends urge you to smoke and tell you to smoke one, it’s okay! This is pure demons and devils taking human form to punk you!
But this is actually testing you to see if you can stand the test. If you smoke, instead of being confused by the external demons, it’s your inner demons and inner greed that are at work. You will be able to find a way to get the most out of this. Don’t think it’s okay to smoke one or something, resolutely don’t smoke!
Drinking people’s self-control is greatly reduced, can do all kinds of bad things, quit smoking during absolutely do not touch alcohol!
After quitting smoking, there is a situation where it is easy to re-smoke. It is a particularly distressing time, a particularly painful time. Either the work is not smooth, either suffered a major incident, either want something can not get, either emotional crisis, or conflict with people, or a lot of things rushed together, the mood is so bad, so lost, feel that fate is too unfair, their own good pain, this time easy to remember to smoke.
Some people say that smoking is self-abuse, and I think it makes sense. Just like this situation will also think about going out to get yourself drunk. This time, is a big test, you hold on, a lifetime of quit smoking is expected ah! And such people can become great.
There are so many other ways to vent your emotions, bad feelings and adversity are only temporary, calm down, talk to friends or use other ways, things are always transforming. And this time smoking, in fact, you will only be more frustrated, let you worry about the problem is not solved, plus another ah: no perseverance ah! What else can you get out of it.
