The dangers of smoking tobacco have long been known. Most smokers have tried at least once in their lives to get rid of this destructive health and wallet habit. However, for one reason or another, they again and again reached for a cigarette to satisfy their nicotine hunger. At these moments, they are especially tormented by the questions: “How to quit smoking?”, “How to overcome tobacco-nicotine withdrawal?”, “Can I quit smoking abruptly?”, “How long does it take to get rid of this drug forever?”
To begin with, it’s worth understanding what is tobacco addiction? If you do not go into details of the physiological side of the effect of nicotine and other substances contained in tobacco on the body, then, according to one specialist who developed an easy way to get rid of the smoking habit, Allen Carr , when smoking the first cigarette in her life, one a small and harmful nicotine creature settles inside a person. In the minutes of its hunger, it begins to pester a person from the inside. As if taking out a soul. The smoker at this time feels very restless, begins to get annoyed, nervous and seeks to calm this creature by smoking another batch of tobacco with a dose of nicotine.
Especially often, nicotine hunger is felt in minutes of complete satisfaction of a person. Whether it is delicious food, sex, pleasant conversation, relaxation after an interesting job - the smoker, having fully satisfied his physiological and spiritual needs, feels only one annoying feeling - this creature requires him to smoke. Accustomed to using cigarettes to calm down his negative feelings in moments of joy, he tries to crush his feelings with them in moments of grief, fatigue or in a state of shock. Therefore, when asked “Can he quit smoking abruptly?”, The smoker is overwhelmed with various memories associated with subsequent smoking, and he immediately begins to reach for a cigarette.
According to Allen Carr, if you quit smoking abruptly, then this creature will first begin to intensely demand a dose of nicotine, and then, after a few days, it will itself die of hunger. However, if you feed him a little nicotine patch or tablets, or even a couple of puffs of a cigarette, then most likely it will revive again, leaving the smoker with no hope to give up smoking. To the question “Is it possible to quit smoking abruptly?”, Allen Carr replies that it would be wonderful, you can even smoke the last cigarette, and then put it out and never return to it.
On the other hand, scientists have proven that tobacco smoke contains about 400 different substances, and manufacturers of tobacco products, for some unknown reason, have long replaced tobacco with cut paper impregnated with an unknown resin that contains almost the entire periodic table. Therefore, a novice smoker feels all the symptoms of poisoning, but after some time, his body gets used to it, metabolism is established and tobacco smoking occurs without noticeable deviations in health status. Only sputum appears in the lungs, a cough, the skin turns gray, blood vessels become glassy , and cancerous tumors suddenly appear. But for some reason few people think about it.
When a smoker decides to quit smoking, the restoration of metabolism to its original level begins. Most often, this process is accompanied by painful sensations, the so-called narcotic “breaking”. Some doctors argue that the condition of quitting smoking is virtually identical with toxicosis in a pregnant woman. And if a woman quits smoking in position, then she receives a double blow to her metabolic system. Therefore, to the question: “Is it possible to abruptly quit smoking for a woman?”, There is only one answer - it is possible, and the sooner the better. And women in the situation still should definitely consult a doctor.
In conclusion, I want to say that my experience as a smoker is 17 years. I tried many times to quit smoking, but always returned to this habit, until, finally, I overcame this nicotine-eating creature that settled in me with my first cigarette. And to the question “Is it possible to quit smoking abruptly?”, I will answer with 100% confidence that if you do not quit smoking abruptly, it means not to quit smoking at all.
