November is a great time to try again to kick the smoking habit. I say "again" because, as a 30-year-smoker who tried to quit for 25 of those years, I'm pretty sure all smokers try to quit again and again. During November, carrying on the work...

Why People Smoke And How To Quit Smoking...

Did you know that... Nicotine is Addictive?

Here is where the problem lies: addiction. The sad thing is
that most people don't realize this.

They puff away on their cigarettes and attach a lot of
definitions to it. I have taken care to include some of the
most popular excuses that people attach to their habit of
smoking.

EXCUSE #1 - It relieves stress

It really doesn't. Your body and mind are capable of
handling a lot of stress and you do not need any alkaloid to
lend external support. The fact is that once your brain is
addicted to nicotine, it kind of weakens and becomes unable
to handle problems. The result is that you get stressed up
very fast and your brain starts demanding its doze of
nicotine. When you puff away, you give it the nicotine and
you feel as if your stress is relieved.

EXCUSE #2 - It drives away sleep

Sleep is a natural response of the body. Our body needs rest
and it has the right to demand this rest from time to time.
When you take a puff, the alkaloids go straight to your
brain and interfere with the working thus confusing the
brain. You might be able to ward off sleep but you are in
fact interfering with the functioning of your brain, which
is indeed playing with fire.

EXCUSE #3 - It perks me up

Maybe, but isn't that a kind of external perk? Isn't that
another way of saying, I am unable to keep in high spirits
by myself so I need to depend on cigarettes? Hey, look at
all those little children, they are always in the highest of
spirits and they do not need any alkaloids for that. You
should lessen the burdens on your shoulders and take life as
it comes.

------------------------------------------------------------

Most people wrongly think that it is only narcotic drugs
that are addictive. This is a very wrong notion indeed.
Nicotine too is as addictive as any narcotic. Once you get
used to it, it is not going to be easy to break away from
it.

Take control of your life today. Don't let a small object
control your life, health and family. Start on the right
path to Quit Smoking once and for all.
