Qutting Smoking - Ways to Stop
There are numerous ways that people use to stop smoking. People
do actually succeed in stopping smoking but the same method of
stopping does not work for everyone and sometimes the same
method may finally work only after a second or third attempt at
it is tried.
The most popular methods used to quit smoking and not in any
particular order are: -
1) Will power 2) Cutting down 3) Hypnosis 4) Patches, Gum,
Lozenges 5) False Cigarette 6) Zyban 7) Acupuncture 8) Shock
event

There is no doubt that each of these methods has been successful
in helping someone to stop smoking. The work in slightly
different ways to each other and I will attempt to describe each
method and in my opinion the pros and cons of each
1) Will power This is probably the most used method for stopping
smoking and one that does work. Actually a certain amount of
will power will be required no matter what method of quitting
smoking you use. Unfortunately will power can of suggests a
fight and suggests that if you are strong minded you will
succeed and that if you fail you are weak minded. The
description will power is not helpful as far as stopping smoking
is concerned because of the perceived battle that the word
suggests. A better word would be 'decision'. Just make your
decision and then that can be that. But make it a final decision
and not some halfhearted attempt and then you can quit
successfully.
2) Cutting down This involves will power with the idea of
feedback that you are succeeding plus knowing that you are
gradually weaning yourself off any perceived chemical dependency
of cigarettes. In theory it sounds great because if each day you
smoke one less cigarette you know you are getting closer to
stopping. Unfortunately in order to know how many cigarettes you
are smoking you have to count them and then know at any
particular moment of the day how many you have had and how many
more you can have. This method means that you have to think
about smoking much more than if you were smoking freely. If
something is on your mind more often, it then make it harder to
stop it. If you really want to succeed with using the cutting
down method, don't get into counting each cigarette.
A better tactic is to decide to leave out certain cigarettes
such as the one at 10:30 or the one after lunch. This way you
don't have to count how many you are smoking and yet you know
you are cutting down.
3) Hypnosis This method still requires the 'will power' or even
better the 'decision' from the smoker that they want to stop.
Hypnosis does not take away the choice of the person to smoke
rather it supports the decision to stop. It is like getting some
extra help to support your decision to stop. Importantly it uses
suggestions that are aimed at the stronger part of the mind, the
subconscious mind, to let get of this old outdate and no longer
useful response to life.
4) Patches, Gum and Lozenges These methods still give you
nicotine. The idea is that it helps with any withdrawal symptoms
you may put down to stopping smoking. It is an odd sort of logic
in that patches, gum and lozenges still give you nicotine as a
way of helping stop taking nicotine via cigarettes. Also as long
as you chew gum, suck lozenges or have to wear a patch it
constantly reminds you of smoking. A constant reminder is not a
useful method to use to help stop doing something.

5) False Cigarette This is a substitute for the action and
behaviour of smoking but without the intake of all the chemicals
involved. It helps those who would ordinarily miss not doing
something with the hands or those who would feel less confident
with having nothing in their hands. The down side is that
although you are no longer inhaling all those poisons you are
still keeping the habit and behaviour of smoking going.
6) Zyban A prescribed drug that was found to help smokers with
any perceived chemical withdrawal symptoms. The idea is that if
the physical side of smoking is being aided by zyban than all
you have to do is to deal with the action or routine of smoking.
As soon as you have stopped the routine and discovered you are
okay and life can carry on then you can under your doctor's
direction come off zyban. Once again a method that may work for
some but there may be side effects of using zyban which need
consideration before using this method.
7) Acupuncture This is the ancient Chinese treatment that
inserts needles in certain acupuncture points on the body. The
acupuncture points are not random but are definite and accurate
places on the body. The idea with acupuncture is to enable the
free flow of energy known as chi (pronounced 'chee') to flow
along the meridian lines in the body. Blocks in the energy flow
can cause or relate to issues whether physical, mental or
emotional. For some acupuncture treatment has succeeded in
helping them to stop smoking.
8) Shock event For many people a shock of some sort will cause
them to finally quit smoking. The shock may be the discovery of
some smoking related illness such as cancer or it may be the
loss of a friend or relative. Either way it brings home to the
smoker their own mortality and what part they play in staying
well and healthy. No one really chooses to be unhealthy. The
shock event can work for many people and help them to stop
smoking. Where the shock event fails is when over time, old
fears feel more distant and the ex-smoker once again feels
comfortable with smoking.
The overriding asset and best resource in using any of the above
methods is the decision to stop smoking. So just make your
decision to stop smoking and then stick to it.
