================== ARTICLE START ==================

Smoking can hook you because cigarettes contain nicotine which

is highly addictive. But being hooked is not an excuse why you

cannot quit smoking. Smoking has been proven by several

researches to be great threat to one's health, that is why

there is no reason why one who is already hooked to it should

not quit smoking.

It is tough to quit smoking. People try at least 2 to 3 times

before they can finally quit smoking. It takes hard work and

lots of effort but if you're really determined then you can

quit smoking for good.

Why quit smoking?

There are at least five reasons why you should quit smoking.

* First, if you quit smoking, you will definitely live longer

and better.

* Second, each time you smoke, you take about 5 to 20 minutes

off your life. Your chance of getting lung cancer, stroke or

heart attack increases if you don't quit smoking.

* Third, the people you live with, especially the children,

will be healthier only if you stop smoking. In fact, second

hand smoke is more dangerous than the actual smoke users get

from smoking.

* Fourth, if you quit smoking, you will have extra money to

spend on other things than cigarettes.

* And lastly, if you’re pregnant, chances of having a healthier

baby is more likely if you quit smoking.

So the next and most crucial question is " how do I quit

smoking? "

Here are five ways that can help you quit smoking:

1. Get ready and prepare yourself to undetake your quit somking

program? Set a quit smoking date. Change your environment by

getting rid of all cigarettes in places you frequent and not

allowing people to smoke near you or at your home.

2. Get support and encouragement. Studies have shown that

you'll have better chances in quitting smoking if you can get

support from families, friends, and co-workers.

3. Learn new skills and behavior. Always remember that your

goal is to quit smoking, so distract yourself from urges of

smoking. Change your routine in your first try of quit smoking

program. Do something to reduce your stress such as taking a

hot bath, exercise, or reading. Plan something to do enjoyable

every day.

4. Get medication and use it correctly. Medications can help

you lessen the urge to smoke. Five approved medications that

can help you to quit smoking are: Bupropion SR, nicotine gum,

nicotine inhaler, nicotine nasal spray, and nicotine patch.

5. Be prepared for a relapse. If you quit smoking, chances of a

relapse is high. Most relapses occur after 3 months of quitting,

so watch out for situations that may trigger you get back to

smoking such as alcohol, other smokers, weight gain and

depression.

Everyone can quit smoking so don’t hesitate to at least try to

quit smoking also.

Quit smoking now and I guarantee you a healthier, better and

longer life.
