How Do I Stop Smoking?

You’ve been doing it for so many years, but how do you stop smoking. It’s true that smoking is like a drug. It’s habit forming. It’s a part of your life and as natural as breathing for most. You may want to stop smoking. The good news is thinking how to stop smoking puts you on the right path to success.

Identify Why You Smoke

The first step in dealing with trying to quit smoking is identifying why you smoke in the first place. Some people started at an early age. They were experimenting with friends and trying to fit in. Other people take up smoking as an escape route from their daily life problems. They may realize drugs are an extremely bad choice and may not tolerate alcohol at all, so they turned to smoking. There are prior drug and alcohol addicts who need the nicotine to take the edge off. Some people were introduced to smoking when associated with having ADHD and use this as a method to calm themselves. Whatever your reason is, find out the true reason why you are a smoker and address it. Then you can move on to quitting.

The consequences if any vary from individual to individual. Some of the medical stop smoking products available are:
