What Is The Natural Method To Quit Smoking? - "End Smoking 101"

The author of the article has been a life long smoker from Europe. After immigrating to the US, and being detected with asthma, nearing her middle age, she was trying to stop smoking almost on everyday basis, but all of the attempts sadly failed. Nicotine gum and patches didn't work for her, so she contacted her physician, who registered her in a program and prescribed tablets, but that didn't her her quit smoking either. What she found was that a severe change of routine worked best in her case. Something funny approach to an extremely serious issue suggests that everyone needs to get what works best for them, as popular "one size fits all" approach never makes everybody happy.

In the first person: I was born 40 something years ago in Europe, with a cigarette in my mouth. My parents smoked, my relatives smoked, my friends smoked. My father is 82 and still a chain smoker. Smoking is an inevitable part of cultural habits, socializing, and having excitement. For a culture that lives on lanes full of cafes, smoking is not optional, it's nearly compulsory.

I was 13 when I got addicted on cigarettes, enough to begin budgeting part of my everyday allowance for cigarettes. Mind you, I wasn't an outcast, a straight A student, from a wealthy academic family, I was actually trying to fit in. At that point, and even many years later, trying to stop smoking was not even in the back of my mind. It will take me 30 more years to reach to that point.

Novelist by profession, smoking was vastly a part of my everyday schedule. It was accurately like it used to be in the old black and white movies - me, the typewriter, and the big ashtray with the cigarette butts piled up high. Soon after I moved to the US, the problems with my smoking resulted. They were not only of social nature any more; they became a health concern too. Not only did I move to the Bay Area, California, which was the undeniable leader in the witch look for smokers, I was detected with asthma.

I can say from that moment on, 15 years ago, I was trying to quit smoking on an everyday basis. There was already a drastic change in place for me - I couldn't smoke at my office any more and I had to time my smoking habits according to the office schedule. It was harder at home because my associate, an American, was a smoker too.

We decided to only smoke outside the home. That didn't work at all, because, sadly, it's California, the weather is pleasant year around, so we both finished up simply sleeping in the house, while living, eating, having friends over on the back yard patio. It's astounding with how much yard work you can invent - our postage stamp sized back yard became more like a jungle with heirloom tomatoes, tea roses, sweet peas, and citrus trees.

I finally quit smoking cold turkey. Two years afterward, with a new lease on life, I'm proud to say - I haven't had a cigarette since. I realize it very well: once an addict, always an addict and I had my share of night sweats, nightmares, unstoppable shivers, uncontrollable crying. But I can all the time say it was resulted by my divorce drama, not nicotine. Every now and then, during lunch break in the financial district, I stop by somebody smoking in front of their office building. Second hand smoke still smells so nice.
