Natural Steps to Quit Smoking

There are many ways to quit smoking. There are people who want to quit overtime, while others want to quit gradually. There are also some people who use medications to break their habit. But the safest one is, of course, the natural way to do it. Here are some steps to quit smoking naturally.




1. Quitting smoking gradually is one kind of natural method. Some people, especially those who have just been smoking for a short period, can stop smoking abruptly. But for those who have been smoking for several years and have made it a part of their daily lifestyle, it might be more complicated. For these people, gradually decreasing the number of cigarettes they smoke in one day is the key. Gradually breaking from your bad habit will prepare your body, instead of putting strain on it because of sudden change.

2. Orange juice is another natural step to quit smoking. This popular and all natural drink can remove the nicotine from your body fast. Physically removing nicotine from your system is as easy as drinking an orange juice and could be done for three weeks. But the psychological aspect is quite another story. This is the more difficult part to treat. Addiction is one great battle between your mind over the substance you are addicted to.

3. Also, drinking water regularly is one of the best steps to quit alcohol. Just like orange juice, it cleans your system and flush out all the chemical and unnatural substances inside your body.

4. There were times when you will feel that urge to smoke just one stick of cigarette. Whenever you feel this way, remember to breathe in deeply and hold it in for the longest possible time. Repeat it for about three times and sit down afterward. You might feel a little dizzy or light headed but this a great help to stop your bad habit or addiction. When you smoke, your brain feels a sudden burst of air, which gives you that rush. You can produce the same effect by inhaling deeply. Of course minus the negative effects of smoking such as lung, skin, and dental problems.

5. Do some exercises. Working out and tiring your body in a good way is one of the great steps to kick your cigarette's butt. In doing this, you are clearing your body from all those toxic chemicals. Your mind will also be much clearer. It will also prevent you from craving cigarettes because you are too busy and you will feel ashamed if you will put all your long hours of exercising to waste by giving in to that craving.

6. Always think about what smoking will do to yourself and the people that you love. Smoking has lots of negative effects. Think about what your lungs will look like-all blackened up from cigarette smoke and soot. Or your yellow teeth, black gums, and unhealthy skin. Or your girlfriend or boyfriend trying not to breathe when you kiss because they do not want to smell your breath. Or your child's coughing because of inhaling too much f your cigarette smoke. Think about all of these and your weakening resolve will be strengthened again.

Tobacco - The World's #1 Killer Substance!

TOBACCO is one of the few legal substances available in stores as a consumer product, that will kill or harm when used as intended. It is the #1 killer over-the-counter drug the world has ever seen. Why is it we believe there’s enjoyment in something that is literally killing millions of people every year.
Tobacco should be classified as a crime against humanity!
Believe me..

no other consumer product in the history of the world has even come close to inflicting this amount of damage on mankind. If anything else of this magnitude was to pose the same threat to life, whether it was human induced or naturally occurring – be it war, terrorist attack, genocide, ethnic cleansing, natural disaster or disease, it would as a rule command immediate international intervention! Think about the current ‘war on terror’. So why isn’t it?

You would have learnt how to smoke from that very first cigarette, as you most certainly practised the draw-back and other styles of smoking until you finally achieved that great smokers status.

If you were born to be a smoker then maybe your nose would be upside down (like a chimney) with a little umbrella over it to keep the rain out! Firemen wouldn’t need any breathing apparatus.

Seriously now, you wouldn’t pour toxic chemicals in to the fuel tank of your car, truck, motor home or bike – would you? So why is it we can suck in over 4000 toxic chemicals with every cigarette and not really think anything of it (until it’s too late). Your life has got to be more valuable than your car or truck.

There are dozens of what I call 'Smoker Myths' associated with nicotineaddiction, some of them are like this....

* Myth#1. "I enjoy smoking, it makes me feel good" ever said something like that, or what about….
* Myth#2. "I really enjoy the flavour of tobacco" are you kidding me!!!(Dog vomit would taste better)
* Myth#3. "I'm just soooo stressed out, I need a cigarette"

These Smoker Myths become apart of the smoking culture or belief system. How many times do you think a non-smoker would make these statements?

NEVER!!

I take enormous pleasure at being a non-smoker (normal) and I’m proud of it. You don’t lose anything when you quit smoking, as a matter of fact you gain life, health and money. Did you know that you can quit smoking anytime you choose to?

So How Do You Quit Smoking?

You simply LEARN NOT TO SMOKE, or you simply LEARN to think as a non-smoker "easy for you", you might be saying but the truth is just that EASY! Remember, you learnt to use tobacco in the first place – right! I know that are thinking that “this sounds too simple” and you’re right, except it took me over 20 years to work it out!

Hi my name is Colin Williams and I passionately want to teach you how to destroy the nicotine addiction… forever. I was addicted to nicotine for 35 years. I lost count of how many times I tried to quit smoking. So I know where you’re at and I know how you think as a smoker or tobacco user.

That’s why I can teach you about….

* Your Body...the health issues and scientific information you need to know.
* Your Victory... know your enemy and how to kill the world’s greatest deception.
* Your Bank...the $$$ cost of smoking to you, and who's making the profit?
* Your Past...how to bury the memory.

The bottom line is this – the nicotine addiction IS NOT your friend, it's a lying parasite that basically wants to kill you. Maybe you should kill it first.
