			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the cigarettes chemicals have left your bloodstream, you start to feel a bit better about having a drink in your hand and not smoking a cigarette, but you still have cravings for cigarettes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the Chemical withdrawal symptoms have faded you will be left with mental and physical cravings for cigarettes.  These can be the hardest phases when you decide to stop smoking and cause many people to start again.</p>
<p>The Physical Cravings of Cigarettes usually fade after a few months, but slight twinges will most likely be felt forever.  Many people find sitting in a pub or bar, with a drink in one hand and nothing in the other the most stretching, others simply find themselves bringing their fingers to their lips.</p>
<p>One of the oldest and surprisingly effective methods is infact carrot sticks.  Chewing these when craving can infact subdue cigarette cravings and help you to quit smoking cheaply.</p>
<p>Other methods include Nicotine inhalers, which copy the motion and suction of the cigarette and release a small puff of nicotine into the bloodstream, these should not however be used if you decided to go cold turkey.</p>
<p>There are many other things to do, though not many suitable for the pub, but all of them have one thing in common, they mimic the movement of your arm, they involve chewing or sucking and they have some pleasurable response, usually a nice taste.</p>
<p>Some people find slightly melted icecream, liquorice root or even the sherbert filled straws particularly effective.</p>
<p>The fact of the matter is though that whatever you do here you will be replacing one habit with another, though the differences in cost and health risks are massively different!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Papierosa_1_ubt_0069.jpeg/300px-Papierosa_1_ubt_0069.jpeg" alt="Quit Smoking" align="left" height="185" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="247" />The first step in stopping smoking is beating the chemical dependence you have on cigarettes.  Nicotine is a highly addictive substance that can stay in the body for upto two weeks, although it only has a half life of around 2 1/2 hours n the body.</p>
<p>Nicotine has been clinically proven to be as addictive as heroin and cocaine, with subjects finding nicotine the hardest to come off and stay off.</p>
<p>When Bracing yourself to deal with the intense chemical effects there are several things that can be used to &#8216;ween&#8217; yourself off the drug. These have various Pros and Cons that can vary in intensity depending on the individual smoker<br />
Nicotine Lozenges/Gum &#8211; These are designed to give a short burst of nicotine, similar in level to that of a cigarette to begin with then lower dosages for when you begin to bring yourself off the drug.  While these are effective at helping most people stop smoking some may find that since they only take it when they really want a cigarette the lower dosages are ineffective.</p>
<p>Nicotine Patches &#8211; These are the most effective way to quit smoking and getting past the chemical element of nicotine.  the patch releases nicotine through the skin over a 24 hour period.   This makes them very effective for completely repressing the chemical craving for a cigarette, and allows lower dosages of nicotine to be implemented with ease.   However some people have complained that nicotine patches leave them with vivid or nightmarish dreams, though some can sleep through these many find them intolerable and instead opt for 16 hour release patches.  These however are not quite as effective as they are not active during the sleeping period users may find morning cravings particularly intense.</p>
<p>Nicotine Inhalers &#8211; Nicotine Inhalers are useful because not only do they release nicotine but they also duplicate the intake motion of a cigarette.  These can be fairly expensive but are a fantastic way to quit smoking as they help bring remove your desire for smoking both Chemically and Mentally.</p>
<p>Of course even with any of these you will find quitting difficult.  Getting through the chemical stage of quitting smoking can be an immensely difficult and challenging task, but once you have got there you are a major step towards stopping smoking.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smoking is one of the worlds most common addictions, with nearly all people over the age of 16 having at least tried a cigarette at some point in their lives it is not surprising to see why.  Quitting smoking can be hard, especially since nicotine is one of the most socially acceptable addictions you can find the world over.  Over the coming months I hope I can help you stop smoking without suffering.</p>
<p>It is important to remember that a persons addiction to cigarettes and nicotine is both Physical, Mental and Chemical.  you will not stop smoking unless you conquer all three areas.</p>
<p>The chemical  element is surprisingly the easiest to beat, this only takes a matter of day, once around a week has passed there sould no longer be any chemical cravings for nicotine in your body.</p>
<p>The physical element is a little harder, your body likes routine and you will find your hands fidgetting for something to do!</p>
<p>The mental element is probably the hardest thing to get over, you find yourself at the office a little depressed and you remember how calm and relaxed the old cigarette made you feel.  The mental stage is where most people lose the battle of giving up smoking.  The mental stage never goes away for some smokers, and has often started people smoking again when they hit a stressful patch.</p>
<p>Once you have mastered each of these you will no longer be a smoker, though even after you have managed to give up smoking you will still find yourself wanting them, remember, dont give in to temptation To help you along with this we will be listing all the medication, treatment and tips and tricks to help you quit smoking!</p>
