If you quit smoking today, your body will start thanking you tomorrow. Well, actually it will start to thank you after 20 minutes. Thats the time it takes, before you begin to heal.

20 minutes after your last cigarette, your blood pressure decreases, your pulse rate drops, and your body temperature of your hands and feet increases. 8 hours later your carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal while oxygen level in blood increases to normal.

After 24 hours the risk of a heart attack has decreased. And after 48 hours the nerve endings start to growth again. The smell- and tasting ability will also be improved. 72 hours from now your breathing will be easier.

The following weeks and month your will improve your circulation. Walking will be easier and your lung function will increase. The nicotine withdrawal symptom will subside after the first month, so you will be able to focus on the psychological need for a cigarette.

One year from now, your risk of coronary heart disease will only be the half as today. This is a very important thing, because in the United States smoking is directly linked to 30 % of all heart disease deaths.

The long-term benefits do it also make it worth quitting the cigarettes. After 5 years the stroke risk is reduced to the same as people who have never smoked. And after 10 years the risk of lung cancer drops to as little as one-half that of continuing smokers. The risk of other types of cancer like mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas also decreases.

The risk of coronary heart disease will be the same of people who have never smoked after 15 years. And in many other ways will the risk of death be at nearly the same level of people who have never smoked.

So if you stop smoking today, your will be rewarded with an improved health. But it is also important to remember that healing from nicotine addiction is an ongoing process. While some improvements happen quickly, others will come more gradually.

I know exactly why you are reading this article. It’s because of the title. It’s because just like I did, you are looking for the All New Recently Improved Super-Duper Stop Smoking Miracle Cure that 99% of smoking cessation products promise.

You will soon learn that promises made by advertisers, product manufacturers and salesmen should be taken with not just a pinch of salt but, perhaps, a handful of it. Smoking is a habit that has become a part of your system; you need to put in conscious effort to break the habit. I say, conscious effort, because there will be many times when you will revert to the old pattern unconsciously. So, you need to make the change and implement it with full awareness.

First, some statistics for you on the ‘magic pills’.

* Quitting cold turkey is successful for approximately 3% of people (keep in mind that those 3% may not have quit on their first attempt).

* Many off-the-shelf pharmaceuticals claim to double your chances (6%) and increase them fivefold (15%) at best.

* Some other newly released products claim that they can achieve nearly twenty times the effectiveness of cold turkey. But, there is a catch. These numbers were gained by tracking a fully supported test group who got their medication for free and were watched over for the full term of the test phase by a team of doctors and counsellors. And, they were also paid for their efforts on top of it. Now, who wouldn’t quit if someone else was willing to spend thousands of dollars and dozens of hours to help you do it? So, there is nothing great about the new wonder drug. Most people are not fortunate enough to get such an option. And it is more likely that this new and improved wonder drug will ultimately fall into the same percentages as every other pharmaceutical offering.

So the magic 100% success rate is a total myth. It is wishful thinking on the part of pharmaceutical companies that try to captivate the desperate smokers desperately trying to give up smoking without making any effort. This is not to say that smoking cessation does not help at all; it does aid sometimes. But, as the good old saying goes, God helps those who help themselves. These wonder drugs also help more if you place your faith in yourself and your ability to achieve your stop smoking goal rather than place all your bets on a pill or a patch.

I’m not talking about willpower here either. I’m talking about education and information. I’m talking about finding out what the real truths are about your smoking habit and what it really takes to rid yourself of it. But that is much too in-depth of a subject to cover in even a series of articles. That’s why fully encompassing information programs have been developed – to help you meet this goal.

So, to begin with, you must seek out all the information you can find about smoking, nicotine, quitting and the benefits of quitting. You need to spend a few days or weeks to find the information that will help you quit without relying on a ‘magic pill’ to do it for you. After all, you’ve spent years or decades developing your smoking habit, so now it is but natural that you should spend some time to get rid of it.

You’ll find that the more you know, the more successful you will be. This advice doesn’t just apply to quitting smoking, but in everything you do in life.

To your very best in future,

The whole concept of nicotine replacement therapy is that it gives your body a low dose of nicotine to help ease the cravings. By putting a small amount into your system your withdrawal symptoms are not as severe. One of the major drawbacks for nicotine replacement therapy is that you go through nicotine withdrawals twice. The first time when you initially quit smoking and the second time when you stop the nicotine replacement therapy. On the plus side you don’t need to go to the doctor to get it.

This can be difficult for many people, especially if its the second time around. You’ll go through a milder form of withdrawals as that familiar edgy feeling comes back. You’re never prepared for that second wave of withdrawal and frequently have a hard time stopping the nicotine replacement therapy. Those that are able to move on are closer to becoming smoke free.

Nicotine replacement therapy comes in many varieties; the patch is the most common. Usually you will start with a higher dose and steadily decrease the dose over a 6 to 12 week period. Please note that the amount of nicotine delivered over th 24 hours often exceeds what the body can handle and can produce side affects.

Nausea and cold sweats is a common side effect of the patch. This can be an indication that the dose is to high for your system and you can try a lower dose the next day. It might be a good idea to look into another form of nicotine replacement therapy. Many people have had great success with the patch, but since the human body’s chemistry varies from person to person not everyones body is able to adapt to the patch.

There are several forms of nicotine replacement therapy, the patch is no longer your only option. Nicotine gum now has improved in flavor and lacks that pepper taste that used to linger in your mouth. You don’t have to worry about feeling sick due to the taste, because now the nicotine gum comes in fruit flavors. The dosage schedule is controlled by you depending on your withdrawal symptoms.

Another form of nicotine replacement therapy is the lozenge, which is available in an assortment of flavors. These tablets will dissolve slowly in your mouth sending a low dose of nicotine to your body. The tablets usually work for 2 to 4 hours, but you can adjust your dosage schedule depending on your need. It’s possible that you will have some type of secondary withdrawal as you slowly sever your ties to the lozenge. Being smoke free is worth it in the end.

The nicotine inhaler is also a good method for those that need to have something in their hand, which is a common problem among smokers. Again you receive low doses of nicotine, which you inhale through this device that assists you in overcoming you’re cravings. And although I have personally not tried this I’ve spoken to several people who have found this to be really helpful.

Most nicotine replacement therapy options are available over the counter, helping you avoid any added expense that seeing a doctor would create. You will also benefit from the online support that many of the products provide, along with several forums in which you can receive support from your peers that are also trying to stop smoking.

Please remember that there are some side effects that come with nicotine replacement therapy. They can vary from insomnia, to a slight headache, to more severe symptoms like nausea, diarrhea or constipation. If the symptoms are not temporary you might want to think about changing the dosage or looking into other therapy options. There are also options out there that are non-nicotine based.
