How To Quit Smoking?


How You Became A Smoker?

The addiction and the psychological

You built the smoker, little by little, starting with the first cigarette after the second and so on, one after another, the first day, in the second day in the first month in the second ... during the first year the second ....

Without being aware of the defect was dominating it!

At first, it was not addictive, because, logically, your body also was not dependent. It was easy to say: - when you want to smoke! - Smoke only socially !..., and it was true because the brain cells, neurons, were not yet adapted to the substance nicotine, to be its recipients, yet there was no chemical dependency.

What mistake volunteer! That inattention! That lack of perception!

The "pet" of addiction, imperceptibly, it settled, was taking hold, seizing you. And today, he is dominant. The spiritual being, that is you, is subjugated to vício.Talvez, gives in his heart to accept these assertions. However, they are true. If your insight is not enough to accept them, experiment, see if you can stay quit smoking. There are easy ways in stop smoking we can use it to kick that bad habit.

The "bug" that symbolically referring represents the action of nicotine, the substance that acts of communication between cells, causing the addiction of the body (neurotransmitters). When down the cigarette, nicotine reaches the brain within seconds, causing the release of hormones in the body, causing feelings of joy and well being.

These neurons specific receptors that recognize the substance nicotine will require, over time, increasing amounts of the substance to give the same feeling to the body.

It is the requirement of these receptors, caused by the absence of nicotine, which has to be reset, we call "the bugs".

It is very important to have knowledge of this mechanism, which causes dependence (addiction), so that smokers understand the phases that will pass, so that, over time, cells may change again, readjusting to the situation of reduced amounts of nicotine (continuous upgrading ever smaller quantities), thus relieving the symptoms of withdrawal.

Let's see, below, the manner in which a person addicted to voluntarily and recklessly:

In the first drafts, the body does not know the toxic substances contained in cigarette smoke, nor neurons were aware of the substance nicotine. When they are ingested, causing unpleasant malaise: dizziness, nausea, cough, change in heart rate, etc.. It was the reaction of the body rejecting such substances.

However, she insisted on smoking and became recalcitrant, ie, forced deliberately the body to accept the nicotine and other substances.

This period is called phase of adaptation or toleranceIn which the body is adapting to the invasion addict through the thousands of substances ingested, voluntary, persistent and recklessly the future addict.

In the short intermediate stage between the tolerance and drug addiction, brain cells, they did not know nicotine, have been adapting and becoming receptive to it. In seven seconds, she reaches the neurons to fulfill its function of neurotransmitters.

Over time, will require increasing amounts of the substance in order to give continuity to his new role. Will be created for the addict.

Now, the body no longer fight against their intoxication (no longer feel sick), adapted to nicotine and substances. From now on, created stage of addiction, Which is gradually, imperceptibly, it will require increasing amounts of nicotine to get the same feeling of well being.

After two hours, nicotine no longer circulates in the blood. However, neurons that have adapted to it to receive it, will be waiting, asking it, in order to comply with the newly created function.

From this comes the desire to smoke. It is necessary to replace the nicotine in the blood to fulfill the request of neurons that "want to work."

And so, gradually, in ever smaller periods, nicotine has to be restored in the blood. It is the addiction.

The smoking began with fewer cigarettes smoked in the day, was increased to ten, fifteen, twenty ... and thus gradually. There are smokers who smoke 60 to 80 cigarettes per day (one cigarette every ten minutes or so).

Coincidental with the successive and repetitive movement of smoke in front of certain situations, we created the mental and psychological conditioning, in which every external stimulus, respond to the need to smoke. Let's see below:

The external stimulus (inducement) causes the mind (receiving) the reaction to respond to smoking: it takes a hand to the pack of cigarettes, cut up and one is put in the mouth, we seek to lighter or matches, lighting it. Right now, induce a combustion release by the combination, large quantities of toxic and carcinogenic. Finally, it is swallowed and removed from the mouth, repeating this movement, on average, ten times per cigarette.

Thus, it creates the mental conditioning and psychological.

In conclusion, the people built a smoker in a process of four phases: tolerance or adaptation, the transition, the chemical dependency and mental conditioning and psychological.

Therefore, to stop smoking we must not discard what is built in a way reversed, similar to that which led to addiction, through rational procedures, directed and controlled, supporting fleeting moments of difficulties resulting from the adjustment of the quantities neurons shrinking of nicotine in the blood, until its total elimination, when you do not smoke anymore.
