Finding Support When You Decide to Quit Smoking
posted September 30, 2009 - 5:54pmMaking the decision to quit smoking is one that will improve your health, and increase your longevity. Quitting smoking is hard not only because of the addictive properties of nicotine, but also because support systems are hard to find. Many smokers and tobacco users have trouble quitting the first time because they cannot connect with others who are also trying to quit. If you are trying to quit tobacco, here are some ways you can find moral support.
(1) Try to find a local chapter of Nicotine-Anonymous. They use a 12 step program to help you break free of your addiction to nicotine. At meetings you can get support from real people who are also trying to quit.
(2) Join internet forums for people who are trying to quit smoking. Here, you can share tips about systems that work and don't work, and chat online with other people who know what you are going through.
(3) Visit the website of Quit Smoking Inc. for reviews and advice about smoking cessation therapies. They sell a variety of traditional and technological devices to help you quit, but they also have chat and message boards where you can get human support.
If you are not quite ready to give up nicotine and the feel of a white stick between your fingers, but you are tired of the smoke, you may be interested in Smokeless Delite. There are electronic cigarettes that deliver nicotine to your body, but without smoke, fumes, or odor. You can even use them indoors.
