What Is The Natural Means To Stop Smoking? - "Quit Smoking 101"

The writer of the article has been a life long smoker from Europe. After moving to the US, and being diagnosed with asthma, nearing her middle age, she was trying to stop smoking nearly on everyday basis, but all of the attempts unhappily did not succeed. Nicotine gum and patches didn't work for her, therefore she contacted her surgeon, who enrolled her in a program and recommended pills, but that didn't her her quit smoking either. What she found was that a drastic change of schedule worked good in her case. Something funny came to to a very serious matter recommends that everyone needs to get what works efficiently for them, as well-known "one size fits all" approach never makes everyone contented.

In the first person: I was born 40 something years ago in Europe, with a cigarette in my mouth. My parents smoked, my relatives smoked, my friends smoked. My father is 82 and still a chain smoker. Smoking is an inevitable part of cultural habits, meeting people, and having excitement. For a culture that lives on streets full of cafes, smoking is not optional, it's nearly compulsory.

I was 13 when I got addicted on cigarettes, enough to begin budgeting part of my everyday allowance for cigarettes. Mind you, I wasn't an outcast, a straight A learner, from a wealthy academic family, I was truly trying to fit in. At that point, and even several years later, trying to stop smoking was not even in the back of my mind. It will take me 30 more years to reach to that point.

Novelist by occupation, smoking was very much a part of my everyday schedule. It was precisely like it used to be in the old black and white movies - me, the typewriter, and the big ashtray with the cigarette butts piled up high. Soon after I moved to the US, the problems with my smoking resulted. They were not simply of social nature any longer; they became a health concern too. Not merely did I move to the Bay Area, California, which was the undisputed leader in the witch look for smokers, I was analyzed with asthma.

I could say from that moment on, 15 years ago, I was trying to quit smoking on an everyday basis. There was by now a severe change in place for me - I couldn't smoke at my office any more and I had to time my smoking habits according to the office agenda. It was harder at home because my associate, an American, was a smoker also.

We decided to only smoke outside the home. That didn't work at all, since, sadly, it's California, the climate is lovely year around, so we both finished up only sleeping in the house, while living, eating, having friends over on the back yard terrace. It's astonishing with how much yard work you can spend - our postage stamp sized back yard became more like a jungle with heirloom tomatoes, tea roses, sweet peas, and citrus trees.

I lastly quit smoking cold turkey. Two years afterward, with a new lease on life, I'm proud to say - I haven't had a cigarette ever since. I realize it very well: once an addict, forever an addict and I had my share of night sweats, nightmares, unstoppable shivers, unmanageable crying. But I can all the time say it was resulted by my divorce drama, not nicotine. Every now and then, during lunch break in the financial area, I stop by someone smoking in front of their office building. Second hand smoke still smells so nice.
