Methods of Quitting Smoking can be many and varied. It is much easier to talk about giving up than to actually give up.Neverthelesss it can be accomplished Giving up smoking can be all about a number of different things
Quitting smoking (or smoking cessation for want of a better description) describes the action of giving up the inhalation and consumption of a smoked substance that doesn’t just have to be conventional cigarettes but can also include cannabis and other narcotic substances.
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.
So let us try and put together a more comprehensive list of methods used to help quit smoking.
Straight up first of all there is the most basic and that is just stopping immediately.
Alongside this is the usage of “Cold Turkey” but with the additional bonus of some counselling support. Alongside this has seen the introduction of the use of patches of nicotine to be worn on the arm or other areas of the body to allow for the efficient absorption of the nicotine into the body to act as a support to alleviate withdrawal symptoms. 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. A further development of the use of drugs comes with the introduction of injection therapy whereby antibodies are induced in the system which attach themselves to nicotine and prevent it from finding it’s way to the brain. There has also been a rise though not necessarily a successful one of the usage of Hypnotherapy.
At the same time as some of the medically orientated therapies to help smokers kick the habit there has also been a considerable rise in the usage and provision of self help analysis and also books of what can be described as of a more spiritual basis. Do any of them work? If we are totally honest then the key to the entire success of any of these treatments lies with the willpower (or lack of) of the person or persons involved.
Consider with caution. Alongside similar articles of medical opinion think sensibly.
We have to say this. Never take one piece of advice in isolation. Your professional advisor should be contacted and his or her advice sought.
A second opinion or counsel should always be sought for the following reasons. With matters like these it is always prudent, in these litigious times, to get independent advice that should confirm your initial belief.
