Six best products to help you quit smoking
Sometimes
quitting any habit can be quite a challenge.
Quitting smoking can be one of those cases where you would often need
much more than strong willpower. Tobacco Smoking is one of the hardest common
habits people struggle to quit all over the world. It is not an easy job to do
on your own. It's easy to know why. Tobacco smoking is one of the most
dangerously addictive habits in the world.
The
secret behind its addiction is simple: Nicotine. This substance much more
addictive than heroin in many aspects and thus surprising has been confirmed by
many different studies and addictiveness ratings.
This
can sound alarming. But you can now feel relieved because it is so much you can
do to get out of your addiction that there is no reason not to start now!
The
following are just some of the methods we've found out around the web:
1. Patches that
contain nicotine
It
may sound contradicting, but these skin patches are a starting point for people
very deep into nicotine dependence. They release a unique, low dose of nicotine
over long periods of time so you can decrease your cravings and reduce doses
over time. Their advantage is that you can find them at your local drugstore
without a prescription.
2. Nicotine Lozenges
These
are often combined with the patches and are taken orally. You place one tablet
in your mouth and suck it for a while (making sure it makes contact with your
cheeks and gums), so the cravings and withdrawal symptoms stop. You can take
several of these a day, often about two tens, depending on how frequent your
cravings are. The goal is to reduce your ingestion as your symptoms decrease
gradually.
3. Nicotine-based gum
This
product is similar to the lozenges in that it is used along with nicotine
patches. Its method is a little different though. You chew on it for a while,
and when you feel a distinguishable taste kicking in, you hold it somewhere on
your buccal mucosa (the inside of your cheeks, your gums or underneath your
tongue) for a while so you can absorb a dose. This process must be repeated
until the gum has ran out of its particular flavor.
4. E-liquid
If
all the previous oral methods looked too complicated to you, you could always resort
to electronic cigarettes. The advantage is that you can find the best e-liquid of your
preference and chose its flavor and dosage every time. They are easy to use and
don't harm others around you. You can reduce your nicotine intake over time
lowering the dosage you buy for your e-liquid. This way you can gradually stop
depending on it in a much more practical fashion.
5. Prescription
patches
These
kinds of patches always represent higher doses of nicotine and are harder on
your body. The results may vary from
one person to another. The advantage they have is that you can talk with your
doctor about the best strategies you can take to stop your particular case of
addiction.
6. Support Apps and programs
There
are a lot of programs, literature, and information available that you can use
to your advantage to quit smoking by yourself and in a safe way. This is often
one of the more difficult methods, but some people, with lots of willpower and
planning, can benefit from methods like these because there is an informative
and natural alternative to release nicotine from your body without still
recurring to the substance or involving other potentially compromising ones in
the equation.
Keep
in mind that the best method there is the one that adapts to you. The one thing
you will need with either of these is your own will and knowing that the
satisfaction of a healthier and more enjoyable life waits for you at the end of
your journey.
