Nicotine is a powerful addiction. If you have tried to quit, you know how hard it can be. People who are trying to quit smoking go through both physical and psychological withdrawal. Here are some tips for quitting. Drink a lot of liquids, especially water. Try herbal teas or fruit juices. Limit coffee, soft drinks, and alcohol - they can increase your urge to smoke. Avoid sugar and fatty food. Try low-calorie foods for snacking - carrots and other vegetables, sugarless gum, air-popped popcorn, or low-fat cottage cheese. Don't skip meals. Exercise regularly and moderately. Regular exercise helps. Joining an exercise group provides a healthy activity and a new routine. Get more sleep. Try to go to sleep earlier and get more rest. Take deep breaths. Distract yourself.

You yourself is the best person to help. Strong determination and family support is what you should look for.

Nicotine addiction is a serious problem. According to the Centers for Disease Control smoking is attributed to one out of six deaths in the United States. Every time you inhale a cigarette you take in over 4000 chemicals into your blood stream, many of which are known to cause cancer in humans. Smoking directly stimulates the central nervous system and increases levels of pleasure inducing chemicals in the brain. These effects of nicotine result in a feeling of pleasurable relaxation. The problem is that it is an illusion, in that, the nicotine is actually destroying your health, and deteriorating your central nervous system. Overtime this creates a greater addition to the nicotine. A program designed to help you quit smoking, needs to address both the nervous and detoxification systems. By supporting these areas you can lessen withdrawal symptoms, as well as, help to repair the damage done by the nicotine. Lobelia (#430-1) This formula helps to lessen the desire for tobacco. It contains the herb lobelia which has a chemical structure which closely resembles nicotine with out any of the negative effects on the body. It is calming to the nerves and naturally quenches the desire for nicotine. Lobelia also helps block the increased heart rate caused by the tobacco, as well as strengthening the respiratory system and helping to expel mucus from the lungs. 1 capsule 3 times daily is usually an effective dose when combined with the supplements mentioned below. Make sure to drink 2 quarts of water to flush toxins from the body. Nutri-Calm (#4803-3) This formula is a B-Complex in a base of calming herbs along with Vitamin C. One of my favorite formulas, it has been put together so well, that the combined effect of the ingredients is greater than the individual components. Quite frankly, this formula calms nerves fast, taking away the irritability and edginess associated with quitting smoking. As with lobelia, the B-Complex vitamins mimic the effects of tobacco on the system helping to remove the desire to smoke. The Vitamin C added to the formula helps replenish the what is depleted by smoking. Take 1-2 tablets 3 times daily. Tobacco Detox (#8721-6) This is a natural homeopathic formula to relieve the symptoms related to nicotine withdrawal, including nausea, cough, and nervous tension. I recommend using it whenever the craving for a cigarette comes, it seems to stop the craving immediately, thereby allowing you to go longer between cigarettes. So when you want to light one up, use this formula first, it will enable you to go a little longer without one. Then if you do choose to light one up a little later follow the helpful hints listed below. Disolve 1 tablet under the tongue every couple hours as needed. Those who have tried tobacco detox report that this product stops the craving for a cigarette almost immediately, thereby allowing them to go longer between cigarettes.

Follow the START formula S = Set a quit date. T = Tell family, friends, and co-workers that you plan to quit. A = Anticipate and plan for the challenges you'll face while quitting. R = Remove cigarettes and other tobacco products from your home, car, and work. T = Talk to your doctor about getting help to quit.
