Smoking Cessation Methods That Don’t Work

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 11:42 pm

There are a number of ways to quit smoking that are floating around. Annoyingly, however, there is also a great number of smoking cessation methods that don’t work, undermining peoples’ confidence in the working ones. Read on to find out what to avoid!

Nicotine Replacement Therapy
You’re not addicted to cigarettes because you crave nicotine, you crave the cigarettes! You want the tactile stimulation of holding the cigarette, the outlaw look, the whole atmosphere that smokers have. Granted, that’s all a facade, but it’s hard to see that. Treating smoking like some kind of disease ultimately leads to failure, as the poor success rates of NRT users are indicative of.

Meditation
I wasn’t going to put this one on here, because it sounds a bit ridiculous, but I’ve seen a ton of people marketing products that will somehow “hypnotize” you into not smoking. If you were to look at it objectively, you’d know that it was rubbish, but the desperation of people who want to quit smoking is capitalized upon and they still manage to stay afloat.

E-Cigarette
I’ve only recently started hearing about this thing, and every time I see it I feel my stomach churn. The whole point of quitting smoking is to not take nicotine into your body. How does replacing one kind of cigarette with some fancy electronic nicotine delivery doodad really solve anything? Exactly.

An unfortunate side effect of the number of wonderfully poor cessation methods out there is that people who want to quit find themselves discouraged and give up or postpone the idea of quitting.

Luckily, there are a few methods that actually do work. Take a look at my easyquit system review to see what can work for you right now!

Methods of Quitting Smoking

  • Posted on July 1, 2009 at 7:56 pm

Methods of Quitting Smoking can be many and varied. It is easier to say this than achieve itNeverthelesss it can be accomplished The one thing that has to be remembered in all of this is what it is exactly that is being given up

Smoking cessation (or quitting smoking) is the action leading towards the discontinuation of the consumption of a smoked substance, mainly tobacco, but it may encompass cannabis and other substances as well.

As has been mentioned there are a number of methods that have been used to help smokers give up but in all cases there has to be a deep desire to actually give up before to be brutally frank there is much likelihood of any success. OK so having got that out of the way, what exactly are the range of methods available to help the smoker give up this habit?

Methods of quitting smoking include straight withdrawal with all the expected and anticipated side effects such as “Cold Turkey” which funnily is the method by which at least 80-90% of all smokers use to give up. A wide variety of other methods are used to help smokers give up and these range from various aspects of spiritualism to antidepressants and rug therapy.

If it is at all possible then let’s try and put together some sort of compiled list of methods and techniques used to help Smokers kick their habit.

We start with the most obvious and that is the one that was discussed earlier and that is just stopping straight.

Alongside this is the usage of “Cold Turkey” but with the additional bonus of some counselling support. After this we have the usage of nicotine support patches for perhaps a periods of up to eight weeks to enable a more gradual withdrawal of side effects to take place. Next we find the usage of limited antidepressants such as bupropion. Alongside this is the usage of the nicotine receptor agonist varenicline (chantix) which is a prescription drug that can be used to alleviate some of the withdrawal symptoms. After this we have noticed an increase in the use of injection therapy whereby the user is given an injection which primes the immune system to produce antibodies which attach themselves to the nicotine and thereby prevent it from reaching the brain. There has also been a rise though not necessarily a successful one of the usage of Hypnotherapy.

Alongside the rise in the more mainstream medical treatments there has also been a considerable uptake in the usage of more fringe therapies such as self help and “spiritual influences”. Do any of them work? Yes and no has to be the honest answer but the real clincher in all of this possibly has to be the will power of the person or persons involved. If they want it to happen then there is an increased chance that the therapy or treatment will be successful.

Please read carefully. As with all things medical, consider your options carefully.

It is essential to remind the reader of this. You should always check advice independently. Your professional advisor should be contacted and his or her advice sought.

The reason for our recommendation to seek independent advice is as follows. With matters like these it is always prudent, in these litigious times, to get independent advice that should confirm your initial belief.
