How to quit smoking
Do you want to know how to quit smoking? Simply quit it, it is as simple as that, but unfortunately it is not. Do you know that smokers die more of heart attacks than non-smokers; in fact the number is double? The similar kind of arithmetic can be done on the number of cancer patients who smoke regularly. It’s really strange how people still smoke with so much negative media coverage and so much awareness being spread by governments, non-profit organizations, and even by schoolchildren and citizens. It is simply dumb to smoke when you know the kind of harm you are causing to yourself and the people around you. Instead of looking cool you look like a loser when you smoke.
But sometimes it takes more than a change of habit in order to quit smoking. Sometimes you need medicine to quit smoking. These days you get nicotine enriched gums and inhalers that can curb the craving for smoking and tobacco. This Newsweek article throws some more light on the subject of how to quit smoking.

Most smokers have an optimist bias that even if they acknowledge the harmful effects from smoking–It’s not going to happen to them. They go to their doctor and he listens to the smokers lungs and says, “Your lungs sound fine.” What the smoker hears is that he can smoke with immunity, no harm has been done. But no one who smokes is healthy, listening to the lungs through a stethoscope may detect pneumonia but is worthless when looking for lung cancer. The one number one killer is heart disease and The death of Tim Russert shows that heart disease can be difficult to detect. Gaining freedom from Kid Nicotine is the best advice before he blindsides the smoker and knocks him out. Queen of Quitting–for free tips on becomeing tobacco free-www.StopSmokingStayQuit.blogspot.com

Being an NLP trainer it’s quite easy for me to recognise the complex web of behaviours smoking creates. We are indeed creatures of habit and ‘lazy’ by nature insofar as unless something hurts right now - we’ll probably do little or nothing about it.
Think of smoking behaviour like a spiders web - a mesh of intermingled strands each supporting others. Lets say you break a few strands and the web begins to hang limply. It has lost part of its structure, but if you leave it that way the spider will come out at night and repair it. By morning it will be back to its full structure again. This is what happens when people try to stop smoking on their own without really understanding the structure of how it works. They seem to make a little progress and then go back to smoking.
With this in mind, smoking behaviour needs to be broken to such a degree that ‘the spider’ cannot repair it. If you click on the above link theres a free (no signup, no charge, no conditions, etc) method I used with a 100% success rate with clients when I used to do NLP based smoking cessation. It’s yours to use if you wish, however it only works if you stick to it. Cheating is only cheating yourself… not the method. If you stick it - you’ll become a non-smoker.
Best wishes,
