Smoker suffers different symptoms after extinguishing his puff as the nicotine starts to leave the blood stream quickly. The restless feeling starts overpowering his mind arousing a desire to have one more cigarette. To satisfy his longing he puffs more and for 5-6 minutes, the craving ends. In this way smoker gets the fresh supply of nicotine. This is not the end. The mechanism is like a vicious circle, a never ending process. We need to break this chain but again the question arises HOW?
It is our mistake that we take nicotine for an order that has to carry out. Actually it is nothing but a monster which requests its food after every minute. We do not need to obey it all the time. But still we do. It can be term as a panic which after some time sends message to the brain to demand more of it. Puffing smoke, we expose ourselves to thousands of harmful chemicals, some of which causes cancer. Smoking also increases our heart beat rate. Smoker soon gets prone to different cancers than a non smoker does.
Studies show women who smokes are 20 times more prone to cancer than men are. Breast cancer is one of the worst forms of cancer that generally makes women its victim.
Smokers have to bear the pain of heart attack as the smoke which they inhale blocks the heart veins. Blockage of vein results in fast supply of blood and ultimately an attack.
A severe attack sometimes results into death. Finally we become food of the monster. We can do everything to save ourselves but still we are incapable of escaping. There are so many ways which can help us a lot like exercise, taking a nutritious diet rich in fibers that helps in elimination of wastes. We awake when we come face to face with the problem and that delay causes us to suffer whole life.

How To Quit Smoking With The Help of Water Therapy
The urge to smoke that one last cigarette is always there with people who have already quit the habit. People who have quit active smoking for years report to have had those occasional urges to smoke. Unfortunately, many, who after having successfully quitted the habit, get back to smoking just because they could not hold back the temptation of smoking that occasional cigarette their friend offered. There is no point getting back to square one after what a smoker goes through to quit smoking in the first place. Those occasional urges need to be controlled strongly.
Thankfully, smokers can opt for a very simple and inexpensive way out of this dilemma. Water is said to help people get out of their craving for a smoke. The good news is that it is helping fresh quitters during the initial weeks. People who have been smoking for a long time get used to nicotine, a strong drug. When a person quits smoking or is in the gradual process of quitting, the body craves for nicotine it is used to having on an every day basis. Nicotine needs to be flushed out of the system, which water can do rather effectively. The more the water consumption, the more is the elimination of toxins. On an average, a person who has that urge to smoke should double his intake of water. What is thought more practical is a gradual reduction in the number of cigarettes a person smokes. That way the body gets used to the lesser intake of nicotine on an ongoing basis. Sudden quitting upsets the body and the resultant craving can create more withdrawal symptoms. Headaches are one of the common symptoms of withdrawal.
If you have quit smoking, but gave in to the urge, do not feel guilty. All you need to do is gulp down 3 or 4 glasses of water to flush out the toxins you introduced to the body. Make a fresh resolution not to give into the urge again. When the urge is on, remember not to give in to it. Instead, drink a few glasses of water reminding yourself not to add more toxins to your system.
Hypnosis- The Best Way To Quit Smoking
Most of the smokers stop smoking for some time after using these products. However, after sometime they start smoking again. The cause for again taking up smoking is that they were always conscious of having replacement pills for smoking. This means they were always conscious that smoking provides them something. Thus, the desire to smoke still exists in them. On the other hand, Hypnosis completely changes the attitude of smoker towards smoking. It put an end to the inner desire of the smoker for smoking. Once the smoker put an end to his inner desire for smoking, then he will never take up the cigarette again.
If you are a little health conscious then you can understand the importance of Hypnosis rather than nicotine replacement pills. The cause of your quitting smoking is that you want your body to be healthy, free from all kinds of toxins. However, nicotine is still getting entry into your body through the intake of these pills. So, consider Hypnosis rather than pills.

Finally, the result of Hypnosis on the smokers who wants to be a non-smoker is 70-80%. On the other hand, result of nicotine replacement pill is 50-60%. The cause of there low success rate is the inner consciousness of the user that, “I want to smoke and so I am substituting it.” However, Hypnosis completely puts an end to smoker's inner consciousness and he never feels the desire to have it again.

Lame Excuses Never Work
Every habitual person who is in the process of getting rid of smoking has to face withdrawal symptoms but may not last long. At times, the person becomes irksome and restless. He takes this nature as a negative effect and again wants to have a puff to feel at ease. But when this misconception unveils itself, we come across a fact that smoking lessens the concentration power instead of enhancing it. The ease that the smoker feels after puffing another cigarette is just an effect of nicotine. Nicotine intoxicates the mind making it relax for a short time. This way the person feels temporary pleasure and takes smoking as his best buddy.
Nicotine works in a vicious circle. Its effect goes on increasing and after some time comes to the same point from where it has been started showing its black magic. Nicotine holds a smoker in such a way that he begins craving for more and more dose. If the smoker does not provide the requisite dose, he experiences restlessness. There is a vast difference between concentration power of a smoker and that of a non-smoker. It is an accepted fact that we derive less pleasure from the things that we always have. The same happens with a chain smoker. He goes on puffing and never reaches to a satisfaction level.
Doctors have concluded that cigarettes block arteries and reduce supply of oxygen to the brain due to which person lacks concentration. 'Concentration Con' is an outcome of psychological perceptions of most of the smokers. Those who use this excuse to shield their smoking need to be familiar with the underlying truth. Quitting the habit of smoking helps a person to take out his thinking man out of the smoke that has captured his mind. Veiling the smoking will not help. One needs to come forward to escape this habit rather than continuing it with the help of futile excuses.
