Do you smoke? Then we will tell you a short typical biography of a smoker. The first puff was offered to you back in your school years by an older friend. You coughed for a long time, it was very disgusting. But how cool you looked in the eyes of your peers! Then came the second, the third. You carefully hid it from your parents, but they still recognized it – by smell. There was a grandiose scandal.
This made you give up a bad habit for a while. After graduating from school, someone slipped you a cigarette at a party again - and off you go. You managed to defend your legal right to be an adult and do things your own way in front of your parents. Not a single cup of coffee was complete without a cigarette, smoke breaks became a mandatory attribute of everyday life. The number of cigarettes smoked, and then packs per day, increased. In the morning, a nasty cough began, you began to feel where your lungs are inside and what shape they are. The moment of truth came when your partner said that kissing you is like kissing an ashtray, and flies began to shy away from you on the street.
Then you have firmly decided – enough is enough. Basta! It's time to quit smoking. But it turned out to be not so easy. Harmful tobacco and its powerful roof – the smoke makers – did not want to let you go free. What have you not tried! From mint candies, a draft began to begin in your head, from endless snacks you lost your waistline. Your friends who smoke began to look askance at you, and those who do not smoke began to pester you with endless useful advice. It seemed that this was a dead end. Life without a cigarette turned out to be even worse than in tobacco smoke. How to quit smoking? This question has become vital for you.
And then someone told you about an effective tool that helps you quit smoking easily – an electronic cigarette, a kind of imitator of real smoking. It looks like a real cigarette, but it does not contain tobacco, which means harmful combustion products - carcinogenic resins. When smoking an electronic cigarette, no nasty smoke is formed, so your smoking will not have a harmful effect on others, including your loved ones who are already tired of fighting your terrible habit. Gradually, the desire to smoke a cigarette simply goes away and even an electronic cigarette will soon become unnecessary.
The second method is chewing anti-smoking gum. The essence of its action is that it contains nicotine, which causes addiction. When replacing a cigarette with a rubber band, the body receives its portion of nicotine, but gradually gets out of the habit of puffing. Then you can switch to chewing gum with a smaller dose and so gradually reduce it to "zero". The likelihood of quitting smoking increases by 2-3 times.
Another effective option, similar in effect to the previous one, is nicotine patches. They help the smoker to overcome the unpleasant symptoms associated with quitting tobacco. But for all these methods, first of all, you need the desire to quit smoking and a strong will to implement it.
