Every smoker has one single thing in common - they want to quit smoking. Even those diehard fans of the “habit” want to quit. Ironically the most common thought on any smokers mind once they start smoking is how to stop smoking. There are those who say they enjoy smoking. To those people I say “each to their own” but for the rest of the smokersout there this article will aim to put you that one step closer to being a healthier and happier former smoker forever.
There are some important considerations to present here before we start. Firstly smoking is a choice. This choice then becomes habit and like all habits that can be a difficult thing to break. The more often we do something the stronger that habit becomes. It could be chewing gum, spitting, playing with our hands and especially smoking. Our brains become accustomed to smoking, it develops associations between smoking and relaxation or smoking and pleasure. The point is that the more you choose to smoke the harder it can be to break the habit of smoking.

The free way
A vast majority of people who try to stop smoking find after a short period of time they resume the habit, many are unsuccessful simply because of the method they used to help them stop smoking. Of the people who have been successful in their quest to stop smoking and who have stopped smoking completely have done it several times before completely kicking the habit. One of the oldest and most reliable methods is to quit smoking cold turkey.
It is not easy to quit smoking cold turkey you need to be prepared. Most people are under the impression that you can just quit and that will power will be the motivation to not start again. Most smokers will find this is not really feasible. The suggestion is to make sure that you are prepared for any type of method used to quit smoking. Many smokers also think that when you quit smoking cold turkey, it means you quit smoking without using any smoking cessation aids such as nicotine gum or patches.

These days, it seems that the message regarding the dangers of smoking is crystal clear. Whether it be on tv, the side of the local bus, or on the internet, advertising has taken a drastic turn from the past days of luring teens to smoke.
With an estimated 70 percent of smokers wanting to quit, and 40 percent who make the attempt annually, some may wonder why it seems more difficult than ever to break the deadly habit.

‘A cigarette is a pipe with a fire at one end and a fool at the other’ said Dr. Johnson in his sarcastic comment on cigarettes and smoking.
Smoking is in fact a pernicious craving for tobacco products, especially cigarettes and cigars.

Stop smoking laser treatment is a well know method since over 20 years. It is a common practice designed for people trying to quit smoking.
Stop smoking laser therapy is based on the ancient acupuncture. In ancient times, people used needles to stimulate certain points of the human body and thus stimulate hormone secretion. Nowadays low-level lasers substitute the needles. The laser stimulates the nerve endings and increases the endorphin secretion.
Laser therapy is completely painless. Most people describe the feeling as a warming, even tingling feeling. After each session, people feel relaxed and happier. Their smoking cravings are greatly reduced and the depression that goes along with the ceasing process is gone.
My official “Quit-Smoking” day is November 7, 2001. I have not had a cigarette since this date.
I was never a casual smoker, because I have smoked since I was about 12 or 13 years old. Since about 1980’s I have been consistent with my smoking, reaching about 3 packages of cigarettes for every 2 days or so. On average, I smoked about 40 cigarettes per day - every day - for about the last 25 years. On stressful days or days when I would just light up a cigarette and was super busy and left it burning in an ashtray, the count could have been as high as 50 cigarettes per day.
And I have never wanted to quit smoking. I was never one of those people that said .. “Oh, I can quit anytime” .. or “I’d like to quit, but I can’t” … or “I plan to quit in the near future” ..
Coming Soon .. More ..
