Addictive Effects of Smoking and How to Quit

Being able to quit smoking is difficult because you face 6 different kinds of addiction. Different types of addiction overlap to create a net that is nearly impossible to escape from when going cold turkey. Smokers become victims to addiction and as they try to quit, they may only address one or two types of addiction. Many other programs only address a few types of addiction, and as a result, may post short term results, but invariably cause smokers to slide back into their old habits.

Quit For Sure™ addresses all 6 kinds of addiction and by dealing with each one, gives you a far better chance of breaking your cigarette and nicotine habit forever.

Physical Addiction

Within a few seconds of inhaling cigarette smoke, nicotine begins to affect your brain. Nicotine acts on cells in the "reward center" of the brain. This results in feelings of pleasure and alertness. However, within just 30 minutes you feel tired, jittery, depressed, or fatigued and you begin to crave another cigarette, and then the cycle continues. Also, the need to touch the cigarette, to hold it in your hand, is part of the smoker's physical addiction dependency.

Using our smoker-friendly Smoke-Free Cigarette allows the smoker to hold a "cigarette" and draw in a deep, smoke-free breath that pulls a larger amount of oxygen into the body and gives the sensations of a cigarette without lighting up!

Mental Addiction

Your mental attitude toward smoking is controlled by your subconscious mind, which is beyond the reach of your reasoning mind. It creates an illusory state of comfort and pleasure when you light up a cigarette. Your subconscious mind is there to protect and please you. When the effect of nicotine starts fading and vanishing it triggers the craving and need to smoke, causing your subconscious to compel you to light up a cigarette. This process goes on and on, encouraging addiction and more smoking.

Our "Stop Smoking Forever" Video Hypnosis Program, precisely targets your subconscious mind with highly effective subliminal suggestions through music and visual images, changes the equation of "smoking = pleasure and calm", and directs your sub-conscious mind away from the need to smoke.

Emotional Addiction

The ritual of smoking a cigarette can cover a feeling of insecurity and many other unwanted emotional feelings, serving what is referred to in psychology as "insteads", to achieve a false sense of contentment, relaxation and clarity.

The Quit For Sure™ Scentsational Tranquility Aromatherapy promotes a feeling of calm, peace and centering. It induces a sense of well-being more naturally and without harmful chemicals. The smoker-friendly Smokeless Cigarettes gives the sensations of smoking without lighting up, thus filling the emotional security of the ritual, without the harmful side effects.

Chemical Addiction

Nicotine is a very addictive substance and in high doses becomes toxic. Studies have shown that nicotine can have as much power over your brain as heroin and cocaine. Nicotine gives your brain a quick sensation of pleasure and when it starts to wear off, your brain starts wanting, or craving more of this poison. Nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure, and decreases circulation by constricting blood vessels. This makes nicotine a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Nicotine releases a hormone that affects the central nervous system, interferes with nerve-muscle communication, and is directly responsible for a host of other health risks related to sexual functioning and fertility.

The formulation of natural herbal ingredients in several Quit For Sure products including Stop-Smoking Herbal Tea, Detoxifying Liquid Herbal Extract, All-Natural Herbal Capsules, and Nicotine-Free Herbal Chewing Gum effectively cleanses the body of nicotine and the other toxins that are part of cigarette smoke, and detoxify the body of poisons that have accumulated over time.

Psychological Addiction

Much of cigarette smoking is psychological, associating situations, places and people with smoking. In a now-famous experiment, Ivan Pavlov, a Russian psychologist, conditioned a dog to salivate at the sound of a bell even when no food was offered. Similarly, you are conditioned to go on auto pilot through your subconscious mind, and to crave and light up a cigarette.

Subliminal suggestions in "Stop Smoking Forever" Video Hypnosis Program will re-wire your brain and its associations with the smoking triggers, to help you combat those cravings and dependencies that take control of you and feed your addiction. Smoker-friendly Quit For Sure™ Scentsational Tranquility Aromatherapy induces a soothing state of serenity that counters the psychological tension.

Habitual Addiction

Cigarette smoking is a habit. Repeating something over a long period of time, forms a habit. The association with familiar activities and environments such as getting up in the morning, enjoying a coffee break with friends, starting a telephone conversation or relaxing before going to bed, reinforces the habit. Even once you are smoke-free, these associations may trigger the craving.

Smoke-Free Cigarettes and Nicotine-Free Chewing Gum ensure that you will never go back to the old cigarette habit.
