health How Can I Quit Smoking?

[misterbig7]

i stopped a couple of years ago when my doctor diagnosed that i had bronchitis..i was able to stop for 3 months pero balik na naman when i felt okay na

 

then i tried again for almost a year to stop..i used prayers, my health, my family, toothpicks, gum, food, sex, the internet and anything and everything i could to substitute for cigarettes

 

now i'm 1 year and 3 months smoke free..i feel great, yehey!

 

i look better, i smell good and im better in sports (and in bed too)

 

when smokers quit, within twenty minutes of smoking that last cigarette the body begins a series of changes.

 

At 20 minutes after quitting:

 

blood pressure decreases

 

pulse rate drops

 

body temperature of hands and feet increases

 

At 8 hours:

 

carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal

 

oxygen level in blood increases to normal

 

At 24 hours:

 

chance of a heart attack decreases

 

At 48 hours:

 

nerve endings start regrowing

 

ability to smell and taste is enhanced

 

The first year after quitting:

 

At 2 weeks to 3 months:

 

circulation improves

 

walking becomes easier

 

lung function increases

 

1 to 9 months:

 

coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, shortness of breath decreases

 

1 year:

 

excess risk of coronary heart disease is decreased to half that of a smoker

 

Long-term Benefits of Quitting

 

At 5 years:

 

from 5 to 15 years after quitting, stroke risk is reduced to that of people who have never smoked.

 

At 10 years:

 

risk of lung cancer drops to as little as one-half that of continuing smokers

 

risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas decreases

 

risk of ulcer decreases

 

At 15 years:

 

risk of coronary heart disease is now similar to that of people who have never smoked

 

risk of death returns to nearly the level of people who have never smoked

technically, i am sober. but i only smoke if and only if during heavy drinking sessions or on gimiks to keep me sober from alcohol. but now these days, if i drink without smoking, i end up drunk.

Quit Smoking Naturally

 

People using willpower to give up smoking often don’t do two key things. The first of these is to make stopping smoking a permanent commitment. Rather than saying “I am becoming a non smoker for ever”, and removing all the unnecessary pressures and doubts, people often use such phrases as “I'll give it a go” or, “I'll stop for a week and see how I feel."

 

The second key point is about people using their powerful imaginations to help them succeed. In fact people using willpower to quit often actively switch off their imaginations.

 

To break free from smoking, you need to break free from nicotine. NICOTINE Patches fight the three major factors that inhibit smoking cessation efforts:

 

1. Nicotine addiction

2. Withdrawal symptoms

3. Nicotine intoxication

effective ba?

[gerrylb]

Quitting smoking is easy! I've done it several times! Hehe.

[surface]

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER ewan lang pero, naging effective sakin yun

- i read na water helps reduce the stress level... eh... pag stressed out tayo, at times, we smoke.. so... baka magwork, water as a replacement sa sigarilyo diba

[imogen]

just quit abruptly.

[bombamoran]

put your mind into quitting. and really resist the temptation to smoke. the best way to do this is replace smoking addiction with another addiction .heheheheh...everytime na gusto magyosi gawa ng isang bagay na pwd pamalit sa pagyoyosi. at iwasang tumambay sa lugar na maraming nagyoyosi .

[eyedoc2020]

may online petition para maglagay ng picture warnings on cigarette packs sa atin, parang sa thailand at singapore. mga gross pics of cancer, stillborn babies, etc. makakatulong ito sigurado to help smokers decide to quit.

Just imagine the bulok na yung respiratory system mo at if you don't quit lalong bubolok.
