A whole new industry has been born, providing
stop smoking products(elektronischen
zigaretten) to those of us who want to quit. These products come in a
range of pills, patches, gums, inhalers, sprays, herbal medications, books, CDs
etc. You name it and there is probably a version of that product on the market.
But do they work?
For some people reading a book on how to stop
smoking will be enough for them to quit. In fairness, they could have probably
have gone cold turkey without the book but it was probably the extra incentive
they needed. For others a book isn't sufficient but listening to some mind
programming CDs may prove effective.
Nicotine replacement therapy opens up a whole
range of stop smoking products(cigarette
electronique). There are nasal sprays, patches or lozenges, gums and
inhalers. The sprays and the lozenges work very quickly as they target the
areas of your body where the lining is very thin thus releasing the nicotine
into your system quicker. The problem with these products is, not only can they
themselves become addictive, but they don't always cure the physiological
addiction people have to cigarettes(sigaretta elettronica). It
is not purely the nicotine which makes people fail when quitting, it actually
only takes about two weeks for the nicotine to completely leave your system. It
is the fact that we associate smoking with various activities e.g. having a
drink, a meal or after sex. If we do not change our behavior we will continue
to crave the cigarette(cigarros
electronicos) long after the nicotine has left us.
One of the newer stop smoking products on the
market is the electronic cigarette(sigarette
elettroniche). This gives smokers something to keep their hands
occupied which can be another problem for those trying to give up. This is a
great alternative for the habitual smoker.
Acupuncture, hypnotherapy and Yoga are three
other methods that could help when you try to quit. While not really anti
smoking products, various therapists have sold their services under the quit
cigarettes(cigarrillos electronicos)
banner.
In fairness to all above, the most efficient
stop smoking product is your own brain and will power. If you really do not
want to quit, none of the above products are going to help you.
