Still, there are other methods that have varying success rates. You might want to try to Quit with Ciggarrest. You might not have heard of this before as its not so well known, at least it wasn’t to me.

The ciggarest plan is a smoking cessation program which has actually been around a long time, since 1986 in fact if my information is correct, and has helped more than one million smokers quit smoking for good.

It a homeopathic stop smoking method so you don’t have to worry about any negative health consequences like you would with stop smoking drugs such as champix that the pharmaceutical industry tries to force upon us.

When you buy this program you are sent tablets, gums, vitamins, a handbook and a CD which are all geared towards getting you off nicotine. The chewable tablets don’t contain any nicotine, are all natural, and supposedly remove the craving for cigarettes. Like I say, I’ve never tried this myself so whether it works or not remains to be seen, but I suppose anything is worth a shot for those among us who don’t like electronic cigarettes and have a history of failed stop smoking attempts.

If anyone out there has tried this before then let me know how it went for you. I’d be interested to hear if it makes stopping smoking any more or less difficult than the use of e cigarettes. You can leave a comment at the bottom of this posts so that everyone else can read it.

Why Is It Hard To Stop Smoking?

Of course the main reason cigarettes are so addictive is because of the nicotine contained in the tobacco. When we hear that nicotine is a substance so addictive that it can be compared to the illegal street drugs cocaine and heroin, be begin to realize why we find it so hard to give up smoking cigarettes. Soon after we start to smoke cigarettes our body adjusts to the effects of the nicotine and we become dependent as the body craves the drug to maintain its natural equilibrium.

Apart from the physical addiction there is also a psychological element to cigarette addiction. We begin to feel incomplete without cigarettes at certain times in our daily routine. Breaking these habits becomes more and more difficult the longer we smoke so although it may seem like an insurmountable mountain the task will only become more difficult the longer you leave it.

Make the decision today to free yourself from nicotine today, join a support group and get yourself a copy of “The easy way to stop smoking” by Allan Carr. With a little perseverance and luck you’ll be living a happy nicotine free life in no time. And remember, even if you don’t manage to stop smoking this time its easy to give it another go whenever you want.

Those of you who feel you need a little help to kick the habit but don’t want to splash out the cash for a book such as “The Easy Way To Stop Smoking” will find plenty of information Online. There’s no doubt that reading about possible quitting techniques and stories from other smokers can help give you the motivation you need to succeed. A friend of mine has a site called Smoking Effects which has some articles on it which might be exactly what you are looking for. Failing that you can always do a search on Google, the Internet is awash with stop smoking advice, all you need to do is find it.

Every time I tried to kick the habit it was like I was giving up a part of myself,and this more than any addiction to nicotine, contributed to the immense struggle that took place when I was trying to stop.

When I found the E Cigarette I had just come through another failed attempt to stop smoking and although I was still at the point where I really wanted to kick the habit I didn’t think I had the energy to give it another shot. E cigarettes allowed me to stop inhaling the poisonous fumes from cigarettes without making any effort. I could continue to get a fix of nicotine and the e cigarette seemed like a genuine substitute for my smoky friend, allowing to quit in my own time without having to worry about health consequences. This gradual experience allowed me to readjust my self-image in such a way that I could stop when the transformation was complete without the dread I normally associated with giving up.

The other, perhaps more important reason why the blog has gone to the dogs is that I’ve finally become totally nicotine free. I no longer smoke cigarettes and I’ve even punted my trusty e cigarette. How did this come about? Well to be honest, after a few months of puffing away on my electronic cigarette I had a moment of clarity where I came to the realisation that nicotine wasn’t adding anything to my life. Of course I had known for years that nicotine was doing nothing for me except keeping me smoking but at that moment I truly realised the reality of the habit. We don’t enjoy cigarette, they don’t taste good and they are not cool, the only reason we smoke is because we are addicted to nicotine!

I happened to be rereading Allen Carr’s “Easy Way To Stop Smoking” when I had my epiphany so I think that definitely helped things along. Anyway, the day after this took place my electronic cigarette was in the trash and I’ve been nicotine free ever since. This exciting episode happened a couple of months ago and I’m happy to say that in general I’m not missing my old friend one bit. The only time I’ve felt like picking up a cigarette has been when drinking, but considering I drink alcohol so rarely these days its not much of a problem.

I’m going to get this blog back up and running, filling it with information on how to quit smoking in the hope that it will motivate others to take the first steps to a nicotine free life. Its really not that hard when you get yourself in the right frame of mind and things are so much better when you life don’t revolve around cancer sticks.
