Great Ideas You Can Use to Quit Smoking

There has been a lot of research over the years into the effects of smoking. It has led to many more people wanting to give up for the benefit of their health. To help those wanting to quit smoking, there are now many ways you can get help and support. Some of them involve more traditional methods, while others are developed to help stop the cravings and wean you off the need for nicotine through more innovative measures. Here are some of the most popular ways people can give up smoking.

Going Cold Turkey

You might be surprised to learn that around 90 percent of people who quit smoking, try to do so without any support at all. Although it is a hugely popular way for people to quit, it isn’t the most successful method by any means. Only about 4-7 percent succeed by going cold turkey. The main issue is the cravings, as many people don’t anticipate the severity of their cravings, especially if they haven’t tried to quit before. It is far more advisable if you are planning to quit that you get some support.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

One of the most popular ways that people succeed in giving up smoking is by nicotine replacement therapy. It involves using patches, inhalers, sprays that contain a small amount of nicotine. Whenever they feel a craving for a cigarette, they use the replacement therapy to help reduce the cravings and thus reduce the need to smoke. With this type of therapy, it is considered far more successful if it is combined with other things such as family support and behavioral therapy.

Vaping and e-cigarettes

In recent years, there has been another way that people can quit smoking. The use of e-cigarettes and vaping pens has taken off in a big way recently. The idea is that you are continuing to perform the action of smoking, without the nicotine. Although you can get vaping liquids that contain nicotine, the nicotine free versions are far more popular and effective. Companies such as Mt Baker Vapor have websites that with a click, will show a whole range of vaping liquids that come in different flavors with no nicotine.

Behavioural Therapy

Behavioural therapy is used to try and identify the triggers people have for smoking. There are certain situations such as social events that will make some people want to smoke or lead them to smoke more than usual. By talking to a therapist, they can usually identify these triggers and help the person through the cravings. Usually, behavioral therapy is used in conjunction with other methods to help the person give up smoking for good. By dealing with the triggers, they can help to stop people from returning to smoking later.

With so many different ways to give up nicotine, there has never been a better time for those looking to quit. Although these therapies are successful, the support of someone’s friends and family when trying to give up is vital to their success.
