Quit Smoking Using An Electronic Cigarette

Give up smoking with the electronic cigarette

The electronic cigarette will give you the same sensations

Unlike nicotine gum or patches, the device provides the user with nicotine in a manner of seconds and not minutes. Therefore, the satisfaction that smokers get from smoking a real cigarette can be simulated perfectly. In addition, an LED lighting unit found just at the tip of the device simulates the orange glow coming from actual tobacco during each inhalation.

Like actual tobacco, the nicotine cartridges are designed to provide a range of strengths, i.e. from minimal to full strength. The real purpose of the electronic cigarette is to help the smoker quit the habit safely. Since the device simulates a real smoking experience, the user can get used to it and eventually move from full strength to minimal strength over a period of time until he decides to quit. While nicotine gum and patches work only for a minimal number of people, this device is more promising since it copies many aspects of the real smoking experience. Although the cost of purchasing a kit may overwhelm the user at first, it gets a lot cheaper during the next set of cartridges since the charger and batteries are already present.

Stop Smoking The Mayo CLinic Way!

Here is a very interesting video on the mayo clionic and how they can help you to sop smoking.

There are some very interesting and useful techniques in this video so please have a watch!

For some people it is very hard to stop smoking. In this video experts from the Mayo Clinic explain why. The video illustrates the way in which cigarettes deliver nicotine to the brain causing changes in the brain that lead to addiction. When a person stops smoking they often experience difficult withdrawal symptoms and powerful urges to smoke. The urges and withdrawal symptoms make quitting very hard for many smokers. But hope and help for smokers can be found at the Mayo Clinic website, www.mayoclinic.org

Good video in my opinion, it would be great to hear your opinions so please get involved in the conversation with everyone.

Stop smoking according the Mayo Clinic Way!

No Fear: Smoke As Much As You Want With The Electronic Cigarette

Smokeless Smoking With The Electronic Cigarette

Have you been trying to quit smoking?  You have tried therapy, group support, the nicotine patch, gum and lozenges but nothing seems to work.  Why?  Is it because you miss putting the cigarette between your lips and lighting it?  There is also the heat of the smoke combined with the nicotine and menthol taste as it passes from your lips, into your mouth, down your throat and into your lungs.  It warms you for a while before you take the cigarette out from your lips and slowly blow out the smoke.  Do you miss all that?  You do not have too.  You can enjoy all of this and the satisfaction it gives with the aid of the electronic cigarette.

The electric cigarette looks very much like an ordinary cigarette.  It comes in different sizes from a standard slim length to an extended length.  Its coloring is also similar to the real cigarette.  In fact, many have mistaken this e cigarette as the real one.  The “e” stands for “electric” and at the same time can stand for “eco-friendly”, because you do not release any harmful elements into the air when you use this smokeless cigarette.  What comes out is not smoke but harmless water vapor.

The secret of this electronic cigarette is revealed by learning of its parts.

The cartridge replaces the filter of the real cigarette.  The top portion contains liquid nicotine dissolved in propylene glycol.  Next to that is the heater that is used to vaporize the liquid.  This makes the user appear to be smoking when what comes out is just a very thin mist of water.  This is 100% safe for the environment and in fact even helps to humidify dry air.  To prevent overheating and ensure the safety of the user, a microprocessor that controls the heater and light is located at the joining of the cartridge and the supposed tobacco part of the cigarette.  The sensor, battery and the led light have replaced the tobacco part.  The sensor detects when the user takes a puff and will cause the led light to shine.  The stronger the puff, the brighter the light will glow.  This makes the electric cigarette look real.

With the e cigarette you will not be burning through your money since you will only be replacing the cartridge and the batteries are rechargeable.  If you do the math, using the electric cigarette instead of other cigarettes will wind up saving you money.  Aside from this advantage is that this smokeless cigarette will not turn your teeth yellow.  There is no smoke odor that will cause you to have bad breath or will cling to your clothes making you smell bad.  Your appearance and hygiene will not be affected with the use of this electronic cigarette, unlike with the real cigarette.

Truly, the benefits of using the electronic cigarette are great.  So, why deprive yourself of the feeling and satisfaction of the act of smoking when you can still do so using this electric cigarette.  You have nothing now to fear- quitting smoking can be easy.

Quit Smoking Advice

These clips are from the BBC: Horizon documentary series entitled “We Love Cigarettes”. The advice Allen Carr gives is pretty damn good, it convinced me (a 5 year smoker) to quit cold turkey. It has been a couple months now and I’m still going strong. Update: It has been over one year since my last cigarette and I have never been tempted to look back. I really hope this simple advice has helped someone else.

How to Stop Smoking Part 2: Stop Smoking Tools to Help you Succeed!

Author: Michael Westbrook Stop Smoking

You can stop smoking! Welcome back to your detailed quit smoking plan, and congratulations on your decision to stop smoking. If you are seeing the second part of this series without having seen the first, you may want to find it.

Full Day 1

Since you were able to excrete most of the nicotine in your body already, your physical craving is significantly less severe than it would have been if you had smoked right before having gone to bed. Your actual ‘habit’ of smoking in the morning, though, is another story. You may find yourself reaching for cigarettes automatically only to remember that this is the first day of the rest of your life not smoking!

If it’s a weekend and you have no prior commitments: Lethargy is a common symptom when you first quit smoking. Feel free to stay in bed! If you really have nothing to do, you’re just begging for self destructive idle time, anyway. You have the right to baby yourself when you’re sick, and to stop smoking is to deal with a life threatening illness from which you owe it to yourself to claim your freedom! If it’s within your power in the first 24-48 hours, take time to recover!

If you have to go to work: In your process of telling your co-workers of your plans to quit smoking you will have been able to identify the non-smokers who are encouraging you to stop smoking for good. Find them at breaks and lunch, and adopt their non-smoking habits. When break time comes, keep your affirmations strong by changing – yet still acknowledging – the proclamation your desire to have a cigarette. Say out loud, “I am having a temporary craving that will pass;” or something along those lines…Never, “I want a cigarette,” or “I need to smoke,” or any other self defeating affirmation.

Your stress level (obviously) is likely to be high on your first day after you stop smoking, so try to be extra mindful of the way you interact with those around you.

Around the hour you quit on the previous day, you can expect the corresponding time frame to deliver you a serious rush of anxiety and tension. This could only last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, but the most likely scenario is that it may continue for a couple days. It will pass! You do not have to smoke. Taking measures with a natural stop smoking treatment,  or another smoking cessation aid will help make these symptoms much less severe.

Beware: If you smoke at this critical juncture, you could lose all willingness to even try to quit smoking for weeks, months, or even years! The disease of nicotine is cunning, baffling, and powerful; and it will go to great lengths to prevent you from giving up tobacco. If you’ve made it this far, hold on; because it WILL get easier.

During your normal every day actions during which you used to smoke like drinking, talking on the telephone, or flipping through channels with the remote; start using your ex-smoking hand for these activities so it’s not sitting there doing nothing while your other hand is completing all the work. This may sound insignificant, but it’s actually a quite effective tool in the battle against smoking addiction.

Day 2

Argh! (No, seriously) You are all but guaranteed to be going crazy with fiend for a cigarette. While the actual cravings don’t last long, your nerves are going through a restoration process that is a natural part of nicotine withdrawals; which means that – even when you’re not wanting to smoke necessarily – you are just in a state of discontentment and aggravation because of the discomfort and shortness of temper caused by the depletion of dopamine, endorphins and other naturally produced chemicals that smoking took over for your body.

Your brain, nerves, lungs, and every other organ in your body that was affected by smoking (there are many) are all learning – just as you are – to adjust to life without cigarettes. They will heal, but the process is not comfortable. Do not let it be your reason to give in. You can stop smoking!

Day 3

Generally, the feelings of anxiety are still somewhat strong, and they may or may not be starting to disappear. Hopefully, you are still carrying around your list of your reasons not to smoke to which you need to refer every time you are thinking about lending the power back to your nicotine addiction. You are at the most stressful part of your journey, and everything will start to get easier from here, so stay strong and don’t give up!

Day 4

Finally, things are starting to return to normal. Your body will begin to regulate its production of vital mood stabilizing chemicals that it once produced all on its own before nicotine interrupted the process, and your coping abilities should be starting to bear a more civilized nature. Your appetite will be out of control. Allow yourself to indulge, but don’t go overboard and remember about the healthful snacking!

Day 5

Personally, this day for me has historically been rough. It’s a type of comfort zone in which you are in grave danger of relapse. Do not mosey on over to a smoking co-worker or make a sly plan in the morning to meet up with a friend who smokes for lunch or another affair, either! Again…Cunning, baffling, and powerful! Don’t let your disease fool you!

Day 6

Hopefully, at this point of the game you are adjusting nicely to life without cigarettes. Your senses have possibly returned to a degree you hadn’t even realized was possible; and your lungs are definitely feeling better. Your cough, however, may have been getting increasingly worse at this point. That’s normal, and it could last for the next few weeks. You may be able to minimize the side effects with a homeopathic stop smoking treatment.

Day 7

Congratulations! This is a huge milestone in your journey! Today is the day that your brain finishes the process of creating new habits! Everything you do will get easier and easier from here on out! You’re not out of the woods, yet, though, because your disease is still at work trying to convince you to start smoking again. Be aware of its attempts throughout the day to convince you that you can have just one cigarette or even one drag…You can’t!

Even if you are able to stop with one drag or one smoke the first time, that will give you permission for the next time; then that will give you permission to smoke again until you’ve increased your level of smoking to that which is just a bit more cigarettes in a day than you were smoking before you quit. Some of the tricks your smoking addiction will try to play on you include:

  • Going to the smoking section at work
  • Making plans with a friend or family member who smokes
  • Engaging in behaviors that are conducive to smoking (going to bars, drinking excessively, etc.)
  • Encouraging you to stop a complete stranger you see smoking outside as you’re leaving the supermarket or eating establishment to ask for a cigarette.

2nd Week

Stay vigilant in your guard against your disease, and start enjoying life without smoking. You will quickly realize how much money you’re saving. Many smokers like to reward themselves with a teeth whitening kit or a special shopping spree with the money they are no longer spending on cigarettes. You deserve it! You’ve accomplished something very difficult that will undoubtedly add years onto your life.

Remember that your nicotine addiction is a powerful disease that is always at work. It is in the back of your mind strength training and getting stronger behind your back. Stay aware of the dangers that await you around every corner. You are only one drag away from a relapse that could claim your life. You CAN quit smoking! Make the decision to stop smoking today!

Smoke Anywhere Smokeless Cigarette

Smoke Anywhere You Want – Even In Public With The Smokeless Cigarette

Smoking is a controversial activity; especially when it comes to smoking in public. Non smokers go on and on about the smell, the fumes and the risks of second hand smoke. Some anti – smoking activists have taken this to an extreme; banning smoking in bars, restaurants, movie theaters, stadiums and even in public parks and in open air spaces. This trend has even gone as far as no smoking allowed hotels and apartment buildings. While tobacco is still legal in every nation on earth, the stigma and bias against smokers has grown to almost insane proportions.

On the other hand, many smokers are also concerned, polite human beings and they have no issues about not smoking when people are eating or in closed spaces with no way out like planes, trains, cabs and buses. At the same time, many smokers have simply reduced their social lives and their nights out rather than be forced to stand outside in the cold when they want to smoke at the local bar. The very idea that one can no longer smoke in Central Park in New York City baffles the minds of almost everyone except the most fanatical of non-smokers. Smoking bans in many cities have caused a loss of income to many businesses, most of which do not even sell tobacco products.

Smoke Anywhere and Anytime With The Smokeless Cigarette

Before you start wondering if the thought police are about to knock on your door the next time you light a cigarette in the comfort of you own home, here is a solution for you. This solution will not only allow to smoke in your own home without fear but will allow you to smoke anywhere you wish. You can smoke in a movie theater, a restaurant, a bar or, oh my gosh, Central Park. The amazing and simple answer is a high tech new device called the electronic or smokeless cigarette.

The e cigarette does not burn tobacco or anything else, requires no open flame to use and the product the user inhales is a vapor. Unlike a regular cigarette, which burns and creates smoke continuously, the smokeless cigarette only produces the vapor when the user inhales. The vapor is inhaled directly into the users lungs and the vast majority is not released back into the atmosphere. Since the smokeless cigarette does not produce the harmful toxins of second-hand smoke, there is no reason to prohibit anyone from smoking indoors or in any location.

So the next time you are going to your favorite bar, take an e cigarette with you instead of a tobacco product. You will still get your dose of nicotine if you wish to use a vapor cartridge that contains nicotine and you will get all the sensations of smoking a real cigarette without any of the second hand smoke. Since you are also a courteous person, take a moment when you arrive at the bar to explain to the bartender and nearby patrons what the e cigarette is before you use it. That way you will inform others about this marvelous product and maybe even convince a few tobacco smokers to switch to the smokeless cigarette and start enjoying smoking without the smoke.
