Proven Rules To Keep Smoking At Bay

For all the smokers trying to get rid of this life threatening addiction, here is something you might be interested in knowing. The first rule to quitting would be a tobacco free home. No one in the world can motivate you to leave the habit unless you sternly decide to do so. Hence prohibiting tobacco use at home would actually ensure adolescent and growing children not to get motivated from their parents who otherwise puff away to glory.

In the US, 61 percent teens reported that smoking was strictly banned at their homes, 32 percent stated that they particularly weren’t allowed to smoke even though the adults had the liberty to do the same and 7 percent said that there weren’t any restrictions whatsoever. How we perceive the statistics depends on our personal criteria, but those 32 percent parents who prefer to smoke with their teens around are doing more damage to the society. They are not only setting a direction for the adolescent child who tries to copy anything that their parents do, these people are causing damage to the society. It is an exponential theorem.

A teen that gets motivated to smoke would in turn affect his friends who would then cast an impression on their parents and soon the habit would engulf a major chunk of the society. So get rid of the Cigarette packs, lighters and ashtrays. Clean and deodorize your house, car, and clothing. Inspire friends to follow your footsteps or at least not to smoke in your house, in your car, or in your presence for 1-3 weeks.

The second rule to follow might be a bit tough to implement but very effective. Try and avoid the smoking circle. It’s very important to stay away from smokers who might provoke your craving for nicotine. Avoid visiting places where smoking is banned. Get hold of some interesting articles or take a short walk in case you have a sudden craving attack.

The third rule is to pamper your cleaner self. Once your body is smoke free, its time to revamp and nourish the body. Excersice and good healthy food are the two thumbrules. Sharper senses of smell and taste are the two noticeable benefits of smoke quiting. So engage yourself in cooking. Spicing up the dishes with an extra bit of garlic, pepper and fish sauce can help you considerably in fighting craving. Drinking of pure grape juice often has wondrous results for smokers who wish to quit smoking.

On the legal front, the government seems to be going an extra mile to impose laws in order to curb smoking. The recent signing of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act by President Obama empowers the FDA to regulate tobacco products, imposing restrictions on tobacco marketing and advertising. The FDA would now be authorized to reduce Nicotine and other chemical contents in Cigarettes.

The fourth rule is to get hold of a Nicotine supplement, in order to overcome the initial phase of cravng. Nicotine patch and Nicotine gums are two very easily available respites. Slow, steady amount of nicotine is released into body through the skin using the nicotine patch. The Nicotine gum is an effective gum, which contains a small amount of nicotine that is passed on to the body as you chew the gum thereby relinquishing the nicotine supply the body, expects periodocally. With these handy rules in mind, any willing smoker can get rid of this deadly addiction and get a new lease of life.
