We all start smoking for various reasons: someone left the girl, someone has nervous work, and someone just out of stupidity, for company in his young years. But there comes a time when you want to put out a bull-calf cigarette forever. How to quit smoking? You will learn about this in our article.
Smoking harm
Each tobacco product harms the body, whether it is a filter cigarette or a cigarette roll. First of all, smoking affects the general condition: health is worsening, drowsiness appears, and strength is becoming less and less. The longer the smoker experience, the more problems appear: endurance becomes much less, complexion worsens, digestion problems appear, premature aging is evident. It is worth taking into account such things as the smell from the mouth and from clothes - a smoking person from the crowd is immediately visible. Smoking is also reflected in the budget: do you think that a hundred rubles a day is a little money? You get 3,000 rubles a month, and 36,000 a year. This is the average salary in Russia that you spend on harming your health.
Why is it so hard to quit smoking?
The vast majority of the inhabitants of our country smoke. To verify this, just look at the number of bulls from cigarettes on the tram rails at any stop. This addiction annually brings billions of dollars in net profit to tobacco owners. Official media advertising is prohibited by law, which means that you don’t have to spend money on promotion. Yes and there is no need - there is always a demand for this product. Many of us regularly saw films in childhood where the main character smokes; our parents often smoked; The "advanced" high school students we wanted to be like were hiding behind the school and hurriedly putting out a cigarette butt at the sight of a teacher. All this was deposited in our subconscious, and we were firmly convinced that smoking was cool. It is very difficult to get rid of this wrong judgment and start a new life without the addiction to ruin your health.
Literature
One of the most famous books on the dangers of smoking is Allen Carr's book, An Easy Way to Quit Smoking. Once, the author himself faced this problem: every day he threw out decaying bull-calves from cigarettes in huge quantities - about 100 pieces per day. And in 1983, he once and for all decided to quit smoking, about which he wrote his best-selling book. The book has been distributed in huge volumes around the world, psychologists and drug dispensaries use Carr's methods, millions of people around the world quit smoking thanks to this manual. Allen Carr did not stop at one book; he wrote such masterpieces as “The Only Way to Quit Smoking Forever”, “Easy Way to Lose Weight”, “How to Help a Teenager Stop Smoking”.
But there are also negative reviews about the book. Many complain that it writes only about the dangers of smoking, there are no special ways to defeat the habit, cigarette packs and lighters are not thrown into the urn, and the ashtray is still full. But maybe the point is not in the book, but in the lack of will power of the reader? No popular books, replicated manuals and magic kicks will help if there is no firm desire inside.
Smoking and law
Recently, more and more measures have been taken to reduce the number of smokers. No, they are not being shot on the streets and the adoption of a “dry” law in the cigarette industry is also not planned - everyone remembers perfectly the sad experience of past years. But in films, cigarettes are “washed away” (it is not visible that a person smokes), you can pay a rather big fine for a cigarette bull thrown in the wrong place, and smoking in public places has been banned recently. Since the nineties of the last century, the trends have changed significantly - now you can lead a healthy lifestyle, exercise, eat right and quit smoking. These are mainly western trends, but what difference does it make if it is only beneficial to health? It is much nicer to look at an athlete with a toned body than at a plump lady with a cigarette in her mouth.
The most effective ways to quit addiction
There are many ways to quit smoking: cigarettes with a filter soaked in milk; nicotine patches, Allen Carr's legendary manuals, psychological trainings, meditation ... All of these methods undoubtedly work, someone can be helpful with a patch, but the psychologist is completely incomprehensible, and for someone - vice versa.
But all these methods work only in one single case - if you yourself sincerely want to quit smoking and change your life! No psychologist will work with you unless you sincerely want to change. All these negative reviews about non-working methods are written by people waiting for the manna from heaven. The easiest way to quit smoking is simply not to smoke! Just do not buy cigarettes, do not smoke on holidays, birthdays, for company and when you really want to. This requires an extraordinary desire and inhuman willpower for both the heavy smoker and the novice smoker, but who said it would be easy?
