health How Can I Quit Smoking?

[bmwlover]

I believe it's all psychological. Took me a year din to really stop smoking. It was hard but really worth it.

 

Anyone here tried the medication for smoking?

 

I know someone who tried it but he found himself substituting smoking with eating. He gave up the medication because his BP rose significantly. Diba yung pagtaas ng BP is a side effect of years of smoking? Mababa na kasi yung metabolism tapos may iba pa atang factor. Haha...hirap talaga. Sa totoo lang, kung gugustuhin mo kaya mo. Tama si Pantasya. In his case, ayaw siguro niya magquit.

Nicotine replacement therapy (gum, patch, inhaler, or nasal spray): Nicotine patches are available over the counter, under several brand names, but are best used in conjunction with a doctor.

 

 

bupropion (Zyban or Wellbutrin), a prescription drug.

 

 

Group or behavioral counseling. The most successful quitting programs use combinations of drug treatment and counseling and have success rates of 5% after 1 year.

I'd like to say that from personal experience that a lot of people find it a lot easier to quit smoking once they've immersed themselves in some form of physical activity which requires that they be in the best condition. Case in point, a lot of the wrestlers I teach in UP used to be smokers. Once they started training wrestling and grappling and MMA they were forced to cut their smoking habits. So for the smokers out there who'd like to quit just a simple word of advice. Find something, some activity (other than smoking) may it be basketball, badminton or martial arts or some form of exercise which'll require you to be in the best cardiovascular condition. Of course you have to like the activity too.

ahehe that is one of the reasons why i wanted to take up BJJ chief

 

i'm trying to kick the habit, right now i'm at 3 max sticks a day if i go over i punish myself

self-control. hard, but it's the only way you can rationalize out the physical craving for nicotine.

When I'm out of the house dun talaga ako nagigiyang! Sa bahay naman di ako naninigarilyo kaya gusto ko lagi ako nasa bahay. Maganda nga yung may sakit akong ubo or trankaso kasi ayun nagpapatigil rin sa akin ng matagal manigarilyo.

I second.

 

It's really hard. When I drink I need to smoke. I will try it again, like I used to do every year.

 

Hoping to finally get over it this time around.
