How to quet smoking?



How to quet smoking?

Have half a cigarette. If you can quit cold turkey, consider yourself lucky. More than likely, you'll need to cut back gradually to ease withdrawal symptoms, says Dr. Rigotti. She suggests smoking only half of each cigarette. Or allowing yourself to smoke only during certain times of the day. Or putting a progressively lower limit on the number of smokes that you're allowed daily. Once you're down to five or six, quit altogether.
Ice dry mouth. If you've just quit, and your mouth feels dry and cottony, or if your throat, gums or tongue hurts, try sipping ice-cold water or fruit juice, suggests the National Cancer Institute.

Snack sensibly. Make sure that you have lots of low-calorie snacks on hand--fruit, cut-up raw vegetables, small packages of flat bread, skim milk or sugarless gum. By taking the low-cal route, you can eat more without gaining more. But don't automatically reach for food when you think that you're hungry. Try having a no-cal drink--preferably water--first. Drink through a straw, if that helps. You may think that you're hungry, but you really need a drink, or you simply want something in your hand or mouth, says Dr. Geller.

Exercise more, smoke less. Women doctors say that exercise relieves irritability and anxiety, and it helps you avoid adding extra pounds when you quit.

"Increasing the amount of aerobic exercise that you do is one of the best ways to control your weight," says Dr. Rigotti. If you walk for 20 minutes three times a week, make it 30 minutes a stretch, or do 20 minutes four times a week.

Heal the headache. Aspirin and other pain relievers can soothe a nicotine-withdrawal headache, says Dr. Geller. A warm bath or shower may also do the trick.

Draw a warm bath. Relaxing in a hot tub of bathwater can also help ease anxiety and irritability, says Dr. Geller. If there's no bath in sight, try visualizing yourself in a soothing, pleasant place. Or relax with some deep breathing: Take a long, deep breath, count to ten and release. Repeat five times.

Hang in there. Most relapses happen the first week after you quit, when withdrawal symptoms are the strongest, says Dr. Rigotti. Make quitting easier by avoiding things that you associate with cigarettes--like alcohol or other smokers.

"Most people make four or five attempts before they succeed in quitting," notes Dr. Geller. "Just remember: One cigarette doesn't have to lead to a pack, and a relapse doesn't mean that you're never going to quit."

This method works for me, I quite smoking 2 years ago and is the only money back guaranteed.

Get the Facts
Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating.

Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called 鈥淭he Cadillac of quit smoking methods.鈥?


The Allen Carr Method
HOW THE METHOD WORKS

Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the 鈥渨illpower鈥?method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.

It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!

Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.

The Method removes these fears
Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted鈥?

TO BE FREE!

What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?

The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don鈥檛 realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.

The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation.
It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.

No Gimmicks!

The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!

The Allen Carr Method is successful because:

It removes the smokers鈥?conflict of will.
There are no bad withdrawal pangs.
It is instantaneous and easy.
It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers.
You need not gain weight.
You will not miss smoking.


Medical Endorsements

A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health

鈥淚 have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr鈥檚 work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.鈥?

Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees

鈥渉is success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.鈥?br />
Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant 鈥?Royal Hospitals NHS Trust 鈥?Royal London Hospital

鈥淚 have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.鈥?br />
Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong

鈥淚t is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.鈥?br />
Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London

鈥?..I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr鈥檚 enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.鈥?br />
Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP

鈥淚 was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr organisation鈥檚 success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.鈥?

Celebrity Endorsements

鈥淗is method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I鈥檓 pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.鈥?
Sir Richard Branson


鈥淪ome friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr鈥檚 method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.鈥?br /> Sir Anthony Hopkins

GOOD LUCK!
