Most smokers sincerely want to quit. They know
cigarettes threaten their health, set a bad example for their children, annoy
their acquaintances and cost an inordinate amount of money.
SOME SIMPLE ADVICE
Nobody can force a smoker to quit. It's something
each person has to decide for himself/herself, and will require a personal
commitment by the smoker. What kind of smoker are you? What do you get out of
smoking? What does it do for you? It is important to identify what you use
smoking for and what kind of satisfaction you feel that you are getting from
smoking.
Many smokers use the cigarette as a kind of
crutch in moments of stress or discomfort, and on occasion it may work; the
cigarette is sometimes used as a tranquilizer. But the heavy smoker, the person
who tries to handle severe personal problems by smoking heavily all day long, is
apt to discover that cigarettes do not help him/her deal with his/her problems
effectively.
When it comes to quitting, this kind of smoker
may find it easy to stop when everything is going well, but may be tempted to
start again in a time of crisis. Physical exertion, eating, drinking, or social
activity in moderation may serve as useful substitutes for cigarettes, even in
times of tension. The choice of a substitute depends on what will achieve the
same effects without having any appreciable risk.
Once a smoker understands his/her own smoking
behaviour, he will be able to cope more successfully and select the best
quitting approaches for himself/herself and the type of life-style he leads.
Because smoking is a form of addiction, 80
percent of smoker who quit usually experience some withdrawal symptoms. These
may include headache, light-headedness, nausea, diarrhoea, and chest pains.
Psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, short-term depression, and inability to
concentrate, may also appear. The main psychological symptom is increased
irritability. People become so irritable, in fact, that they say they feel "like
killing somebody." Yet there is no evidence that quitting smoking leads to
physical violence.
Some people seem to lose all their energy and
drive, wanting only to sleep. Others react in exactly the opposite way, becoming
so over energized they can't find enough activity to burn off their excess
energy. For instance, one woman said she cleaned out all her closets completely
and was ready to go next door to start on her neighbour's. Both these extremes,
however, eventually level off. The symptoms may be intense for two or three
days, but within 10 to 14 days after quitting, most subside. The truth is that
after people quit smoking, they have more energy, they generally will need less
sleep, and feel better about themselves.
Quitting smoking not only extends the
ex-smoker's life, but adds new happiness and meaning to one's current life. Most
smokers state that immediately after they quit smoking, they start noticing
dramatic differences in their overall health and vitality.
Quitting is beneficial at any age, no matter how long a person has been smoking.
The mortality ratio of ex-smoker decreases after quitting. If the patient quits
before a serious disease has developed, his/her body may eventually be able to
restore itself almost completely.
