The Logic seems plausible; using chemicals to interfere with the brains nicotine habituated receptors. and the percentage of people still quit after six months has increased but where is this leading us?
More and more smokers are being prescribed the 'wonder quit drug' Champix or one of it's many sister drugs, but ultimately the habit will still need to be broken and taking drugs to help with the initial quit is in my view still akin to sweeping the dirt under the carpet. And for what my opinion is worth I am not convinced that there has been nearly enough testing of this group of chemicals and analysis of the side effects. My feeling is that all these drugs will be proved more harm than good. Its only a few months ago that the government has started to back pedal about the 'right category' for cannabis having discovered that it can cause psychosis. Common sense will tell you that replacing one drug with another cannot be the way forward.
The psychological effects of habit breaking are what essentially makes quitting difficult for around half of people who quit. Understanding the psychology of smoking is the real secret to quitting, don't believe the hullabaloo about nicotine addiction, it's over egged hype, mooted by the tobacco companies and government health organisation to frighten people into using there products. Nicotine is gone entirely from your body after 48 hrs. Stopping smoking is for all intents and purposes no more difficult than stopping going to school or stopping biting your nails. If you go about it in the right way, utilising a positive outcome as your reference, illicit a new healthy coping strategy,and eliminating negative harmful self talk and visualisation, then it is actually ridiculously easy to quit. Obviously you will need some kind of help toward these ends and there is plenty of help available. Here I am bound of course to mention my product ...
'1-2-Free', which you can find out about by clicking the words or going via my link buddies. But there are lots of other effective programmes to choose from.
Smokers who want to quit do need help finding out how to quit without drugs and without traditional side effects. My system uses a variety of technologies proven in private treatment based upon Hypnosis and NLP (the relatively new science of change using language and representational systems). A crude form of which was used by The Koreans to psychologically trick and convince their American Prisoners of War to become communists and Anti American, without any torture or truth drugs. They just got them to change the way they saw themselves using simple suggestions and then got their fellow prisoners to see them differently but utilising what they had said... Very simple But highly effective.
