, to leave off smoking not so - that and it is difficult how many think. From the physiological point of view if to manage to refrain from a cigarette within three days after the last inhaling, then the need for nicotine will leave forever. But constantly increasing number of smokers on streets says to us that all not and simply. Besides physiological dependence exists also psychological because of which so many people all hesitate to throw this addiction. The dependence on cigarettes is shown differently at each certain person. To begin to leave off smoking, it is necessary to consider at first the most common causes which people smoke.
Dependence. The people smoking this reason do not take a special satisfaction from smoking. For them smoking – a way of communication. Such people begin to smoke for the company, and at very early age. At work they do not pass any smoke break, and not because want to smoke but because so it is necessary. Independently such people will never refuse. Long psychological rehabilitation or a psychotherapy course is necessary for them.
Pragmatism. For people of this category the cigarette is only a type of leisure. They derive pleasure from process, quite often smoke cigars, cigarillos or a tube, doing thus the image. Subconsciously such people want to resemble the famous and successful people who had addiction to nicotine too.
The ritual component is important for the pragmatist we will tell, after-dinner coffee and cigarettes, or a cigar and cognac. Most often it is the sanguine person, strong-willed and resolute, allocated with a certain power: businessman or politician. The high will power of such person will not allow somebody to convince him to leave off smoking. Therefore in its all ways it is necessary to push to the independent decision to leave off smoking unostentatiously. It is possible to concentrate its attention on extreme sports or other high-status hobby.
Admiration. In this case the person smokes because of admiration of process of smoking. In smoking he adores all - beautiful lighters, brilliant packs, various accessories. In most cases such people are kinestetika – that is perceive the world around through tactile feelings, they need to touch, feel, twist everything in hands.
To force to leave off smoking such person very hard. It is necessary to find for him a new subject of admiration with which it is possible to carry out many manipulations with hands. It can be the elementary Rubik's Cube, the new mobile phone or a communicator, the portable game console, etc. Otherwise such person will return to cigarettes again, especially, if his work is connected with meetings and long sitting at office table - it is hell for a kinestetik.
Also smoking people often use various excuses to continue to smoke. Many, especially women, claim that as soon as they leave off smoking then they will grow fat and will gather extra kilos. Really, some people begin to gain actively weight in several days after refusal of cigarettes. Here only refusal of smoking there is nothing here. Just over time the sensitivity of flavoring receptors in a mouth is restored, and even the most usual food begins to seem divinely tasty. Therefore the former smokers, without realizing that, begin to eat about one and a half times more, than earlier. However it is possible to avoid a set of weight after all. It is necessary to keep only constantly in the house fresh frukty vegetables, and I am eager to satisfy with them to new flavoring feelings. Sour berries like a cranberry are especially good in this case. Some are helped by a small bottle of usual mineral water which they constantly carry with themselves.
Some refuse to leave off smoking as they consider that smoking helps to be protected from Parkinson's disease. Really, nicotine marks out a small amount of a neuroprotector which reduces risk of developing of this disease. However to an organism it comes not in pure form, and to the companies with four thousand other components of tobacco smoke, for example, with cyanides, benzpyrenes, ammonia, cadmium and other unconditional hazardous substances. So the protective effect if it is also present, is nullified by risks of development of whole bunch of diseases.
In most cases the body of human who left off smoking on average in two years is restored and gets rid of consequences of poisoning with its poisons of tobacco smoke. If you after all could not leave off smoking independently, then it is necessary to address experts, narcologists, psychotherapists.
