Best Alternatives To Quit Smoking
There is certainly no shortage of information on the Internet on ways to quit smoking cigarettes, but you might often feel slightly overwhelmed by it all. This is a lowdown on the best and most effective ways to quit smoking. The truth is that there are a lot of gimmicks and products on the market that will claim to help you quit smoking, in reality they will fail to deliver results and will leave you feeling annoyed and frustrated.
First is the cold turkey method. There is no doubt that most people will try to go cold turkey when they first quit, there is also no doubt that a large percentage of them will fail miserably. The art of quitting cold turkey requires extreme willpower and motivation. In essence you will quit completely from day one and have nothing to aid you except for willpower.
The problem with going cold turkey is that people underestimate the power of nicotine. It is an extremely addictive drug and only a select few people are capable of quitting without any help whatsoever. What you will find in most cases, is that going cold turkey will simply prolong your quitting of smoking, you may go a few days without one, but after that you're likely to light up again with a vengeance.
Second are nicotine patches. This is certainly a common method that a lot of people will try to use when they want to quit smoking. I do know of a few people who have had success with nicotine patches, but mostly I know that people have gone back to smoking shortly after using them. There is an obvious flaw with nicotine patches, whilst you are not smoking cigarettes directly; you are still fuelling your body with nicotine. This means you are basically replacing the addiction with something else, but still getting nicotine into your body.
What happens when you have to quit the patches? Your body will continue to crave for the nicotine and your likely to want to light up again, I've seen it happen numerous times.
Hypnotherapy is growing nowadays. However, this really depends heavily on the individual. The problem with hypnotherapy to quit smoking is that there is no real solid evidence to suggest that it will help. Some people react well to hypnotherapy but I suspect that it's only a small percentage. The general idea is that you will be given subconscious instructions to stop smoking. I've always been sceptical of it and never actually seen anyone successful quit smoking with it. Not only that, but the sessions can be quite expensive.
Smoke remedy is a unique product that contains natural ingredients that suppresses your cravings. The key here is the natural ingredients part; it doesn't contain any nicotine. The product itself is a throat spray; it works pretty simply; every time you get a craving you spray some in your mouth.
Overall you can see that there are many ways to quit smoking cigarettes. I've seen the most success with Smoke Remedy. That is not to say that cold turkey, patches or even hypnotherapy won't work, but in my experience they are less likely to work than Smoke Remedy.
