Leave Smoking Health Feed

Congrats for your desire to quit smoking. It is now important that you actually do it and persevere with it. When you decide, it must be done immediately and abruptly. Waiting another day will jeopardize the decision. Since you want to do it I recommend that you seek the help of a counselor and do it with support. I guess you know all the harm cigarettes do to your system, which is why I suppose you are seeking to quit. But now you need to identify why you smoke: there is an oral need, the nicot...more

Congratulations on your wonderful decision. You have to quit cold turkey because the body and mind will torture you endlessly while attempting a reduction in smoking. The tobacco tar in cigarette smoke lines your lung with huge patches that make that portion dysfunctional. Your oxygen carrying capacity is jeopardized, and breathing is impinged on. But don’t be discouraged because it is not too late even now to reverse all the ill-effects of smoking. I don’t know what other organs could be damage...more

Dear Himanshu,
Congratulations for your decision of leaving smoking.
Nicotine in cigarettes make the bowels move. So, if you leave smoking, you maynot pass motion freely or constipated. It is a common withdrawal symptom.
If you persist not to smoke for 12 weeks, it will disappear and you will be able to pass motion freely. Till then take some purgative daily at night.
Luckily you don't have other withdrawal symptoms to keep using cigarettes. All the best.

You know, you have associated smoking with ease in defecating and relaxation.
The truth is that nicotine craving builds up stress, which is then relieved by smoking. It does not have any role in relaxation.
You can substitute this association with preferably normal chewing gum or if not helping, a nicotine chewing gum.
Remember, you just have to give a conditioning association of any kind to your subconscious.

Are you suggesting that you have a problem of addiction to both alcohol and smoking? This combination will definitely effect your sex life. The combination of alcohol and smoking is deadly for your health. I am so glad that you are seeking to get rid of these habits and that will play a major role in your recovery. You must stop them both, abruptly and immediately. If you think that you will find it very difficult, then admit yourself to a hospital and go for de-addiction: which normally lasts f...more
