My No Smoking

No more cigarette stub disposal problems. No more fire risk from disposing incorrectly in the trash can or in the forest. No more need to empty the ashtray. No more stinking rooms.

You have been brainwashed

“Quit Smoking” - the term itself is a brainwash tool which suggests that you give up on something that you like, it suggests that is a real sacrifice to GET RID of this poisonous habit. In fact this is the term we will use for now on: “get rid of smoking”. But the wonderful truth is that you give up nothing, in fact, you free yourself from a terrible disease and you gain only positive and wonderful things. We'll start right now to remove brainwashing.

The biggest problem of getting rid of smoking is brainwashing. That is the result of our life in society, reinforced by brainwashing as a result of our own addictions, and more powerful than all the others, brainwashing through friends, relatives and colleagues.

From childhood, our subconscious is bombarded with informations claiming that cigarettes relax us, give us courage and confidence in ourselves, that cigarettes are the most precious thing on earth. You think I exaggerate? What are the final wishes of characters to be executed - in movies or cartoons? A cigarette, of course.

Consciously you don’t register this, but your subconscious absorbs it immediately. The REAL message rings like this: The most precious thing in the world, my last thought and my last gesture is to smoke a cigarette. In any war movie, the wounded soldier receives a cigarette as a supreme consolation.

Do you think something has changed nowadays? No, children and teenagers (and us as well) are still bombarded with cigarettes images on billboards and in magazines. Cigarette advertising on TV is probably forbidden in your country too, yet in prime-time you almost always see some glamour girls or guest stars puffing a cigarette.

TV programs are sponsored by the tobacco industry giants and cigarette advertising is everywhere: mall, parking lot, highways, even in sport industry, on stadiums, racing cars, etc. It’s trendy now to have a smoke after sex. But it isn’t... it’s just BRAINWASH. The implications are obvious, and your subconscious digest them patiently, even if we think we do not watch the advertisings.

How come that we find all other forms of addiction so evil, while the drug we pay hard money for and indeed it is killing us, was considered, until recently, a perfectly acceptable habit in society? Only recently it started to be associated with a harmful practice for human health, but it remains legal and shiny packs are sold almost everywhere.

"Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it a thousand times" this famous quote of Mark Twain sums up the problems a lot of people have when trying to quit...they just can't stick to it.

The problem is that smoking is an addiction like any other, as nicotine is in fact a drug. The addiction to nicotine is not the only danger, as it is in fact a poison. Is true “Quitting Smoking is easy”, but you have to do it once and for all.

Nicotine is the natural drug found in tobacco and is as addictive as cocaine or heroin. The dependency will be both physical and emotional; both needing to be dealt with when quitting smoking.

As smoke is inhaled, nicotine enters deep into the lungs, from where it is carried throughout the body via the bloodstream. Nicotine will affect many parts of the body; blood vessels, heart, brain, metabolism and hormones. It is particularly harmful during pregnancy, as it can be present in breast milk and in cervical fluids as well as placenta, amniotic fluids and the blood in the umbilical cord which in turn feeds into the newborn child.

Inhaling cigarette smoke will send nicotine to the brain quicker than any drugs taken intravenously. Like any other drug, the body eventually develops tolerance, thereby needing larger doses to calm the craving.

But Quitting smoking will cause easier kind of withdrawal symptoms from the addiction to nicotine that drug addicts experience when quitting their chosen poison.

Whatever your age or the length of time you've been smoking, don't think it's too late in life for you to quit: smokers who quit around age 50 can still cut the risk of dying in the following 15 years by 50%, compared with those who continue to smoke.

Addiction to nicotine should be treated like any other drug addiction. Nicotine patches or chewing gum will only really delay the inevitable; you'll be avoiding many of the other chemicals found in cigarette smoke, but you are still feeding your body nicotine, so are not really making any inroads into your addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking cold turkey is the only sure answer and will bring with it some problems, particularly in those long-term smokers.

The body will take its time to eject nicotine and other chemicals; sometimes only a couple of days but at other times several weeks.

Addiction to nicotine is caused by the pleasant feelings (known as dopamine high) experienced by the smoker, which then lead to them wanting to smoke more. The nervous system begins to adapt to the nicotine intake and increases the amount of nicotine in the blood. As the body begins to get used to the amount of nicotine, it will start to demand more, hence we get into the cycle of addiction.

The poison in nicotine is enough to kill a human with just a few drops in its purest form, although to take in that much in one go by smoking you would have to smoke about 100 cigarettes all at once (together, not one after the other) Even so, that is some nasty poison to take into your system!

The law of addiction states:

"Administration of a drug to an addict will cause re-establishment of chemical dependence upon the addictive substance"

This includes: tobacco, nicotine patches, nicotine chewing gum, nicotine sweets, nicotine inhaler, electronic cigarette, etc… By law of addiction, nicotinic substitutes do nothing but to maintain addiction.

"The success rate for Nicorette gum or other nicotine substitute is generally not as great as many smokers would like to believe because it just re-introduces nicotine back into the body"
