How NOT to Quit Smoking

<html>
<p>&nbsp;A quick <em>'how NOT to quit smoking' </em>tutorial for these already-stressful times that we live in, that's what I'd like to see.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202016-11-06%20at%2012.24.23%20PM.png" width="719" height="541"/></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br>
 <strong>QUITTING </strong>smoking has become quite an industry over the years, with inventions on the market like 'e-cigs', nicotine patches and gum, so there must be some serious psychological issues being cashed in on here. It looks like smokers are having their minds messed with, while ultimately getting no real help from anyone. &nbsp;<br>
 Whether we are trying to quit, or trying to cash in on the quitters, it might be handy to examine some of the dynamics that power that Quitting Industry from an objective viewpoint.&nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202016-11-06%20at%2012.33.31%20PM.png" width="705" height="540"/></p>
<p><em>"Your belt will be way up here if you don't quit!"</em><br>
</p>
<h2>&nbsp;The Body is the Shadow of the Mind&nbsp;</h2>
<p><br>
 <br>
 All the stress of trying to quit smoking begins to wear on the body, and that pressure may be causing a lot of accumulating worry-- a dis-ease of the mind-- and is sometimes drawn out over long periods of time. That's the formula for plain unhealthy living. With deteriorating health and a recurring smoking habit, it may start to look like <em>those things are killing you.</em>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202016-11-06%20at%2012.26.04%20PM.png" width="716" height="463"/>&nbsp;<br>
 <br>
<br>
 There are lots of methods offered to quit smoking, many smokers have tried them all. Most recently, we have the <em>'e-cig'.</em></p>
<p><img src="http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202016-11-06%20at%2012.34.20%20PM.png" width="720" height="480"/>&nbsp;<br>
</p>
<h2>&nbsp;E-cigs <br>
</h2>
<p>&nbsp;Brilliant! Now all of the joys of nicotine can be found in modern technology; the e-cig. With the best of intentions, these things are often purchased by quitters who see an exit through gradually weening themselves from tobacco by using this method. <br>
 Eventually the battery will wear down, or purchasing the flavored nicotine juices that go in the gadget becomes inconvenient, and anyway, that Quickie-Mart right there has delicious real cigarettes waiting inside. Maybe they have batteries and nicotine juices too, but all of the favorite brands are cheaper and quicker for now, and suddenly the defunct e-cig kit is just laying around taunting it's former user. <em>It was never meant to last.</em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br>
 During these dramatic volleys, the loser is always the human who is being attacked on three fronts: 1) The toxic chemicals in modern cigarettes are physically poisoning the body. 2) The stress of trying to quit smoking begins to diminish health. 3) The smoker begins beating <em>themselves</em> up, for having no will-power or self-control.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Mental Tools</h2>
<p><br>
 Have you ever quit smoking only to then buy a pack of cigarettes with the intention of smoking only one but then since you have them there's no sense in wasting them so you hide them with a new plan of only smoking one or two a day but since you have them already then a situation came up where you justified chain-smoking half of them and then decided to just smoke them all so that you can quit once and for all once they are all gone? <em>Can we talk about that?</em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;Here are some of the mental things that can cause bad health which may be associated with quitting smoking:&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>1) Self-loathing&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>2) Fear&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>3) Misalignment of thoughts and actions </strong><br>
</p>
<h2>&nbsp;Self-loathing <br>
</h2>
<p>&nbsp;An acute hatred of the self can be generated with the help of cigarettes. If a healthy body is one of the goals of quitting smoking, then any hatred directed inwardly is not recommended. Hate is poisonous to the body, and if it's not properly expressed by the mind, it will be expressed by the body in the form of disease.&nbsp;</p>
<h1>&nbsp;<br>
 Fear <br>
</h1>
<p>&nbsp;Fear of death, fear of cancer, fear of social shunning-- no matter how it is generated and entertained, <em>fear </em>is going to put us in <em>fight-or-flight mode,</em> sending blood into the extremities, away from the brain, depriving vital organs of oxygen. Living daily in the R-complex, the <em>reptilian brain, </em>has been proven to be unhealthy for humans. Quit that, and things will improve instantly, and some logic might find it's way into the patterns.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><br>
 Thought, Emotion, Activity <br>
</h2>
<p>&nbsp;<em>"I'm quitting smoking-- right after this delicious pack of cigarettes is gone." </em>An internal conflict is apparent; any joys that can be associated with tobacco are challenged constantly by fear of death, so that the internal dialogue is inconsistent. <em>"You really don't want to quit, do you? </em><em><strong>But you must!"</strong></em><strong> </strong>&nbsp;The conflict becomes tiresome, is pushed into the back of the mind constantly, but the back of the mind is getting full, and is starting to smell bad. Something is festering in there, the smoker knows it, but might not ever get around to cleaning that space out.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa41/beehelicopter/Screen%20shot%202016-11-06%20at%2012.50.41%20PM.png" width="717" height="536"/></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br>
 All of the above techniques can make a person sick, whether they have ever smoked or not. Fear and self-hatred, kept inside of the mind like hard criminals, actually should be set free. They are doing harm in there, and they can be released with just seconds of introspection.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<br>
 Whether the chemical-laden cigarettes are causing a disease, or if kept toxic thoughts are to blame, for the smoker, there are several choices if better health is the goal; 1) get rid of the cigs altogether. 2) Get rid of the toxic thoughts, and stop beating themselves up mentally. 3) Both; quit the toxic thoughts, and then decide-- with a realistic, logical mind-- whether to use tobacco, or not.&nbsp;</p>

Thank You for a wonderful post !
I am old ; like the Dark Side of 50 . . .
Never a heavy smoker I smoked for decades between 10 or 20 cigareetes.

I tried gum and patches and the E'cig . . .

What vaping did was allowed me to " clean up my act ".

Essentially ecigs allow people to avoid the harmful tar and cancer agents inserted into cigarettes by your duly elected politicans . . .

I found that over time I could use the Ecig where and when I liked and slowly less and less.

The reason cigarettes " work" is the addiction causes huge up-spikes during smoking and huge depressions when not inhaling.

It is the huge difference in the swings that lead to the massive psychological and physical withdrawls smokers cannot get over . . .

Nicotine is a deadly poison and far more addictive than heroin, but unlike heroin that kills in 5 years, nicotine takes 25 years to kill (approximately) it is this delay that allows the government to allow its sales for taxation rewards.

The government gets to tax and tax and tax dollar cigrateette somoking and you get to pay the co-pay of your privately funded health insurance (or your employers health fund) . . .

What e-cigs do is stop the huge up swing and down swing, so instead of bottoming out into nightmarish withdrawal cravings the ecig plateaus the highs and lows toward a middle ground that works.

This way the smoker slowly learns to not be as reliant on smoking since they do not get those intense high hits of nicotine and they get to avoid those massively irritating depressing lows.

By evening out the smoking the smoker can slowly deal with the habit, social, psychological and physical addictions of smoking as they slowly give up.

I am off the cigarettes since July and that has repaid me about 25 times over the outlay to purchase the ecig system.

Simply smokers have to want to do it and then make the effort to be a better person by doing it. Trust me when i say combining going cold turkey and stopping suddenly after a few weeks of ecigs works . . .

The great thing is having the ecig available for the inevitable relapse after a few days, just forget the guilt trip and keep trying; yoda said it best, their is not try, there is only do : )

That is awesome, that you made that work. I have some friends who seem to be doing your method-- we will see!
I offer only a bit of relief to those who are beating themselves up over their seeming lack of will power, and suffering from feelings of defeat. Maybe approaching those mental hurdles can be easier when they are more defined, to maybe improve the old state of mind at least.
It's nice to hear a success story with the e-cigs, congrats!

I have never tried e-cigs before. Maybe I will someday.

Seriously how can you not? they cost a lot in set up costs and after 6-8 weeks save you 50 % of your costs.

They are five times more socially acceptable, three times healthier and HALF THE COST. Plus they do not blow up gas cylinders accidentally ! ! ! !

The choice is yours but its a no brainer when you gain so many benifits, i live with a non-smoker and she does not scream when i e-cig in bed . . . 

Prior to being quitted for well over 3 months ! ! ! 

BUT i am NOT giveing up caffeine for nothing : )

Good Luck Steemian ; )

If ya wanna smoke Paul smoke, more power to ya. 

But don't be drawn in the corporate propaganda. see:<br>
<center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5MmYY8sj73g?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br>
I'm fifty four years old and I started smoking when I was twelve. Back then there were no laws about underage smoking, and my parents believed the corporate hype, it was harmless, no big deal.<br>
Would you believe it's till harmless in Southeast Asia ? Watch the video...<br>
I quit smoking 3 years ago and I now get my nicotine from E-Cigs. I mix my own E-Juice and contrary to what you may think, yes we do know what's in it. That's how we make it :)<br>
Since quiting I have stopped taking three blood pressure medications and four asthma inhalers that I have been on since I was in my mid twenties.<br>
I would never have believed stopping smoking would solve my breathing problems since I had had them so long, may sound silly to some that don't smoke. But I thought I was born with asthma... I wasn't.<br>
So if you want to smoke Paul, smoke on bro, but when you find yourself like me, having open heart surgery... Don't blame the wifi....

I didn't mean for this to be a 'pro-smoking' article, I used the example of e-cigs to show the struggles, and that many people go from e-cigs back to tobacco in a mental rollercoaster.

This article is meant to offer perspective to quitting, beginning with the mental anguishes associated with it. It's mainly meant to be a glance at the association between mind and body, and cigarettes being a big mental challenge for a lot of people, I offer this article as a chance to examine some of those. 
I'm always happy for people when they actually find the way to quit, it is encouraging for everybody to see that it is not impossible, and can be a good influence on those who have given up 'giving up' the cigs. 
Thanks for sharing the info here, and offering some balance. Cheers!

👍 crok

Well, you need to understand there is a difference between E-Cigs and the Cig-a-likes offered by the Tobacco companies in convenience stores. No one can quit with those as there is only enough nicotine to make you want another cigarette...

Anyway, I am not one that hates on smokers, smoking still allowed in my house, although now that I can smell again I know it stinks like a wet dog lol...

Carry on...
