Nicotein Chewing Gum: http://www.nicorette.com.au/

This is a chewing gum which works as a therapy for necotein

replacement to avoid smoking. Once you get urge for smoking

then instead of smoking you can chew this gum for necotein

replacement for a certain period like 10 - 15 days or at the

most a month. But be sure not to get into another habbit to

quite one.

Contd..2..

Also let others know that you are quiting smoking so that

people will avoid asking for your company, and more importantly

let your Family know that you have quite smoking so that they

can be ofbig support to you.

2. Necotein Cycle: You need to understand how necotein cycle

works. when you smoke the necotein reaches you lungs and get mixed in your blood and then reaches your heart through

arteries. once it reaches your heart it gets pumped upto your brain through blood and gives you feeling of relief. this happen within few few seconds. This cycle need to break right from nicotein supply to lungs. Hence this is why we say Smoking causes Lungs Cancer, It causes Atherosclerosis - thickening of blood and geting blocked by thrombus causing Heart Attacks, causing Paralysis due to blockage of the arteries in the brain.and many more diseases are mainly caused due to this culprit habbit.

*** Withdrawal Symptoms: Remember when you try to quite smoking you might face withdrawal effect of necotein withdrawal and it happens during few days when we stop smoking or try to quite smoking. Waning Off smoking does not help so dont try it ever. I mean we say that I will stop smoking gradually like 5 sticks a day then 3.... then 2.... then 1....and then zero.. Remember this never helps. So understand that what is withdrawal symtoms: Tremors in hands, weak feeling, Anger, Drowsiness, tiredness, dryness of mouth, lazy feeling, incomplete feeling,some times headach etc are symptoms which usually appear during

initial days of attempt to quit smoking. In this case Nicorette can help till certain extent.

Dear Friend,

First of all let me tell you that there is nothing which can

stop you from smoking other than your WILL TO GIVE UP SMOKING.

You need to first understand what is the thing which make you

smoke.

1. your mindset : It wants support! support of some kind which

will give peace to your mind during tension / stress / anger

etc. In case of smokers its "smoking" So you have to build your

own support mechnism : like Music (which ever you like) any

physical activiy like cycling, exercise, playing tennis ,

football, swimming anything...and that u only can identify.

Also let others know that you are quiting smoking so that

people will avoid asking for your company, and more importantly

let your Family know that you have quite smoking so that they

can be ofbig support to you.

2. Necotein Cycle: You need to understand how necotein cycle

works. when you smoke the necotein reaches you lungs and get

mixed in your blood and then reaches your heart through

arteries. once it reaches your heart it gets pumped upto your

brain through blood and gives you feeling of relief. this

happen within few few seconds. This cycle need to break right

from nicotein supply to lungs. Hence this is why we say Smoking

causes Lungs Cancer, It causes Atherosclerosis - thickening of

blood and geting blocked by thrombus causing Heart Attacks,

causing Paralysis due to blockage of the arteries in the brain.

and many more diseases are mainly caused due to this culprit

But be sure not to get into another habbit to quite one.

4. Drink more water, may be 2-3 glass full if you feel like smoking and this will give you some relief during first few weeks of your withdrawal period.

5. Avoiding places from where you are purchasing cigarette

6. Avoiding to keep cigarette packets at home / office / car etc Just throw away all packs and accesories like lighter, ash tray, cigarette case etc.

7. TELL YOURSELF REPEATEDLY: QATAR IS NO SMOKING COUNTRY! SMOKING IS A CRIME IN QATAR AS LIKE AS DRINKING LIQOUR IN SAUDI AREBIA / QATAR / ANY OTHER GCC COUNTRY WITHOUT LICENSE.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

EVEN I AM TRYING TO QUITE...AND I KNOW I CAN AND I WILL DO IT ONE FINE DAY..AND ITS FOR SURE..

WISHING YOU A SMOKE FREE LIFE AHEAD.

Dear Friend,

First of all let me tell you that there is nothing wihich can stop you from smoking other than your WILL TO GIVE UP SMOKING.

You need to first understand what is the thing which make you smoke.

1. your mindset : It wants support! support of some kind which will give peace to your mind during tension / stress / anger etc. In case of smokers its "smoking" So you have to build your own support mechnism : like Music (which ever you like) any physical activiy like cycling, exercise, playing tennis , football, swimming anything...and that u only can identify.

2. Nicotine Cycle / Levels of Nicotine in blood: This is the nicotine content in the blood which gets lowered and bue to which the necotine which is absorbed by your lungs enters into your blood through your lungs (alveolies) and carried into the blood stream through arteries to Heart and pumped to Brain through arteries. this whole process is called as Nicotine cycle. This nicotine when reaches you brain gives you FEELING OF EASE, HAPPINESS, CLAM, WARMTH AND LOWERS YOUR STRESS, TENSION ETC ETC.... WHICH IS IN SHORT CALLED AS PLESURE..once your nicotine content in the blood decreases then you feel urge to smoke. if you break this cycle of necotine then you can quite the smoking.

3. Use Nicorette Chewing Gums: For first few weeks of quitting the smoking...its really difficult to avoid smoking...because as soon as necotine content in the blood gets decreased you feel urge to smoke. But now there are Medicinal Chewing Gums available in Pharmacy store which contains Necotine in small amount and which can be used as a replacement / as medicine for avoiding smoking during those initial days of quiting smoking.

What you need to do is first of all throw away all the accesories like lighter, cigarette case etc which you are handling for smoking by yourself and get these Nicotine contained chewing gums handy..when you feel like smoking just chew this chewing gum as an alternative. This also needs WILL.

4. Avoide visiting those places from where you purchase the cigaretts.

5. Let everybody know in your surrounding that you have quite smoking so that they do not smoke in front of you. Also tell your spouse so that he /she will support you when you need him / her the most.

6. TELL YOURSELF THAT "QATAR" IS A NO SMOKING COUNTRY AND SMOKING HERE IS A CRIME AS LIKE DRINKING LIQOUR WITHOUT VALID LICENSE.

I AM ALSO SMOKING BUT I AM SURE KNOWING ALL THIS I WILL DEFINATELY QUITE ONE FINE DAY.

if you still want to smoke then you SMOKE NOT 20 BUT MANY MORE CIGERETTES PER DAY . ITS YOUR WISH AND WILL ;)\

wishing you a smoke free life ahead.

Hello,

Quitting is easier said than done for most smokers. I am like you until last year. Used to finish 20 sticks a day.Started this habit since 1987 until 2010.

I tried sometimes to quit but usually they are either due to my girlfriend nagging or jus trying. Usually even with success on stopping for a week, I resume again, sometimes 3 months and picked up the habit.

You will have to decide and discipline yourself. Even a puff....

From what I can remember, I used a combination of sub-concious method:-

1) I do not stick with one brand of cigarette switch around also between heavy and light ones but toward light ones more. And I by when I finish...never maintain a backup pack or reach from friends. (this has impact; I noticed almost immediately I hate the different brands and sometime even dislike the brand this is good cos you are still holding the cigarette but smoke less as you "hate"d the taste)

2) Started some simple exercise like jogging or any sports (good preparation to clear your body with the nicotine). Make it a habit even if you are still smoking now.

3) Break the normal habit especially after food, during a tea or coffee, replace with fruits or chewing gum or just drink water.

4) 3 months after step 1) to 3) Start to take a small sip of the cigarette followed with a long and slow breath (feels like nothing initially but discipline yourself. do not stop your exercising.

5) Reduce the intake to one packet for few days or a week. Keep this target...when you have achieve this...you can decide anytime...when you want to light up another...think of the effort you have put in; start calculating the cigarette you had spend your money on and target something to buy to reward yourself....QR6x365 day is about QR1900 !!

I think the rest would be easier... I do not know if this will work for you...but I am absolutely smoke free, I still do jogging and plays the table tennis without the need to catch my breath as much and I rewarded myself an extra trip back home!

You and anyone else can do the same...No luck needed but good effort and determination. Proof others that you can have self-control, good discipline control and strong will power! You will benefit repect with the achievement, sense of achievement, regain your stamina, less sugar needed in your tea or coffee, you will have less body odour, no need to worry about smiling with a stained tooth with a smell!

I agree early comment. there are many way to stop smoking. If you care to your self you can quit smoking, gradually try to reduce you smoking, instead take some candy. It is in your mind if you really want to quit.

It's only in your mind, if you say you will quit smoking just quit smoking. Put in your mind that you want to live longer for your family..It's easy, when you quit don't look back.

I don't know how it worked but my friend gave up smoking after reading Alen Carr's book 'The Only Way To Stop Smoking Permanently'. Try it, maybe it can help you, too.

Yeah sure. You can. I did it. Now it is more than a year I stopped smoking. You just need to be strict to yourself for a couple of weeks then it will become your routine.

All the best.
