Smoking and Health never go hand-in-hand. ‘Nicotine’ – the major content in cigarettes, affects heart and lungs. It increases the probability of heart attacks, strokes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and cancer; particularly lung cancer, cancers of the larynx and mouth and pancreatic cancer. Nicotine causes physical and psychological dependencies. The decrease of nicotine level in the blood causes withdrawal symptoms like headache, anxiety, nausea and a craving for more tobacco.

A number of Stop smoking medication is now available in the market to help quit smoking. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a method of inducing nicotine into the body without smoking. It helps to deal with withdrawal symptoms and cravings while cessation of smoking. Several products of NRT are available like nicotine patch, inhaler, nasal spray, gum, sublingual tablet and lozenge. NRT only helps to damp down the urge to smoke rather than stopping nicotine altogether.

Herbal quit smoking remedies are now preferred over drug based remedies because of their nature. Herbs are neither habit forming nor addictive. They instead act as nutritional supplements. They help both the physical and mental health of the patient and are known to be very effective. Herbal remedies are generally a combination of two or more herbs. The combination of herbs not only helps reduce smoking but can also help to cleanse and balance the body after continuous cigarette smoking.

A slight change in ones lifestyle and attitude can also help to quit smoking. It is ultimately the mindset and will power of the smoker that makes all the difference.

Has anybody heard of electronic cigarettes? I know a couple people that have started to use those and actually stopped smoking real cigarettes. You still get your nicotine out of the electronic cigs, but you aren't breathing in the deadly smoke anymore. I'm trying to talk my mom into trying them.

I've seen them, but never tried one. My mate had a go and wasn't impressed. I can see how they could work as a substitute for someone trying to quit though...

Yeah, and you are allowed to use them in places that normal cigarettes are banned, since there is no smoke... I think it is definitely worth a try for a smoker who is interested in quitting!

How come your friend wasn't impressed?

No doubt smoking is bad for health and in fact with every cigarette you smoke, you lose 10 minute of your life and become nearer to death.And this time keeps on increasing in the older age.

Hi fellows...
Everybody knows smoking is bad for you. The days when tobacco companies attempted to convince us that cigarettes were safe are long gone, and yet, a significant portion of the world continues to suck on those deadly little sticks which coincidently, also make you smell really bad, thus lowering then chance of matting and producing off spring. The commonly accepted mortality rate of cigarette in 33%.
