Smoking cessation tips , medications Quit smoking problems and remedies

Many people  attempt to quit smoking several times before succeeding, and in fact only a few are successful. Smoking is an addiction that has psychological as well as physiological roots. So in effect you are fighting the nicotine battle on two frounts. Psychologically, the habit has become entrenched over the years. Use those failed attempts as a learning exercise and experience.
There are two factors that will determine your success in quitting smoking for good. They are;
Will – You must have the desire to give up your habit of smoking and create a strong will to avoid a smoking relapse.

Mindset – You must learn about the effects of smoking, understand its consequences and face the fact that you need to stop smoking and follow, finish and maintain a quit smoking plan.

Analyse minutely what caused you to fall off the wagon. May be you did not prepare for those times you typically light a cigarette, may be after the lunch or dinner, before meeting the boss, or when you are bored. Plan for how you are going to tackle these issues. Physicologicaly, when the brain is deprived of tobacco related chemicals it releases a flood of neurotransmitters that translate into cravings. these cravings can be addressed with medication like Champix when taken under proper supervision Champix definitely helps alleviate the craving to light up. Nicotine replacement tablets and chewing gum are also available in market.
Meanwhile get plenty of support from family and friends and society. Ask former quitters how they did it. Stress reducing activities like yoga, Pranayam and medication have also been found to be effective in achieving the smoke free life.
When you stop smoking, nicotine withdrawal may make you feel frustrated, depressed, restless, or irritable. The craving for “just one drag” may be overwhelming. Nicotine-replacement therapy can help reduce these feelings. Studies suggest nicotine gum, lozenges, and patches can help double your chances of quitting successfully when used with an intensive behavioral program. But using these products while smoking is generally not recommended.
