How to overcome
smoking
“Quit Smoking?is the slogan of the hour. We all
know that smoking is hazardous to health. It has very severe ill
effects like respiratory problems, lung cancer, breast cancer,
bronchitis, emphysema, reproductory problems, etc. It is thus the need
of the hour that we should free our selves from the clutches of the
deadly disease. But it is not an easy task to actually quit smoking
completely once a person has started it. Smoking makes a person its
slave and he becomes addict to its use.
Difficult but not
impossible
It is though difficult but not impossible to quit
smoking because the word impossible itself says “i-m-possible? The
most important attribute that a person needs to have to quit smoking
is self-belief and persistence. It is difficult to stay away from
smoking in initial stages but with the help of adequate medical aid
and strong will power if a person overcomes the initial bouts to
smoke, then he will be the master over this deadly disease. He should
love himself and not let the ill effects of smoking show on the god’s
greatest creation.
As a stimulant to help him quit smoking a person
should regularly exercise and meditate. This keeps him physically fit
and mentally strong. He should also take proper diet, because proper
diet not only satisfies the body’s needs but promises to deliver a
trim and healthy you, producing undeniable pride and happiness in your
body, mind and spirit.
Chain smokers should delay the next cigarette .In
the meantime they should keep their hands busy and minds diverted from
the thoughts of smoking. They should drink water to keep cool and calm
and resort to deep breathing. If still the urge is irresistible they
can resort to use of chewing gums or fake cigarettes or herbal
cigarettes.
Seek Specialists
help
Also a person can take help of an acupuncture
specialist or he may occasionally go for aromatherapy. A person should
also bring a major change in his routine to be on the smoke cessation
wagon. He may change the route to his office, should take tea for
coffee, should avoid the company of smokers, etc.
Thus we should all come together and make concerted
efforts to bring the smoking addiction to its knees. All the smokers
out there should take a vow this minute that they will buy no more
cigarettes. Rather they will expense that money on their children,
families, and their own health, which mean much more to them.
