Why stop smoking? Giving up smoking easily:

 

Smoking kills around 114,000 people in the UK each year. Most people know that smoking can cause lung cancer, but it can also cause many other cancers and illnesses. Of these deaths, about 43 000 are from smoking-related cancers, 30 000 from cardiovascular disease and 29 000 die slowly from emphysema and other chronic lung diseases.

How do cigarettes and smoking damage your health?

Cigarettes contain thousands of chemical compounds and toxic chemical substances.

 

The products that are most damaging are:

o Tar, from smoking a carcinogen (substance that causes cancer)

o Nicotine in cigarettes is addictive and increases cholesterol levels in your body

o Carbon monoxide from smoking reduces oxygen in the body

o Components of the gas and smoking particulates cause chronic lung disorders.

 

The damage caused by smoking is influenced by:

The number of cigarettes smoked, and whether the cigarette has a filter, or how the tobacco has been prepared.

Research has shown that smoking reduces life expectancy by seven to eight years. Smoking affects how long you live Fact: The people who die every day as a result of smoking, many are comparatively young smokers Fact: The number of people under the age of 70 who die from smoking and smoking-related diseases exceeds the total figure for deaths caused by breast cancer, AIDS, and traffic accidents. Enough reason to stop smoking.

Non-smokers and ex-smokers can also look forward to a healthier old age than smokers. Giving up smoking is easy with hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

These are the Major diseases caused by smoking:

Smoking facts: Hardening of the arteries is a process that develops over years, after smoking, when cholesterol and other fats deposit in the arteries, leaving them narrow, blocked or rigid. When the arteries narrow (atherosclerosis), blood clots are likely to form.

Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death due to smoking. Smoking accelerates the hardening and narrowing process in your arteries: it starts earlier and blood clots are two to four times more likely.

Cardiovascular disease can take many forms depending on which blood vessels are involved, and all of them are more common in person with smoking habits. If the kidney or arteries are affected, then high blood pressure or kidney failure results.

Smoking facts: Coronary thrombosis: a blood clot in the arteries supplying the heart, which can lead to a heart attack. Around 30 per cent are caused by smoking. Cerebral thrombosis: the vessels to the brain can become blocked, which can lead to collapse, stroke and paralysis. Blockage to the vascular supply to the legs may lead to gangrene and even amputation. Smokers tend to develop coronary thrombosis 10 years earlier than non-smokers, and make up 9 out of 10 heart bypass patients. Person with a smoking habits are more likely to get cancer than non-smokers. This is particularly true of lung cancer, throat cancer and mouth cancer, which hardly ever affect non-smokers. 90% of lung cancer cases are due to smoking. One in ten moderate smokers and almost one in five heavy smokers (more than 15 cigarettes a day) will die of lung cancer. If no-one smoked, lung cancer would be a rare diagnosis - only 0.5 per cent of people who've never touched a cigarette develop lung cancer. For ex-smokers, it takes approximately 15 years before the risk of lung cancer drops to the same as that of a non-smoker.

Quit Smoking facts with hypnotherapy

 

 

Smoking facts: The more cigarettes or tobacco you smoke in a day, and the longer you've smoked, the higher your risk of lung cancer. Similarly, the risk rises the deeper you inhale and the earlier in life you started smoking. So if you smoke, the risk of contracting mouth cancer is five times higher than for a non-smoker. Cancer can start in many areas of the mouth, with the most common being on or underneath the tongue. It's estimated that 94 per cent of 20-a-day smokers have some emphysema when the lungs are examined after death, while more than 90 per cent of non-smokers have little or none.

In smokers, the rate of decline in lung function can be three times the usual rate. As lung function declines, breathlessness begins. Smoking raises blood pressure, which can cause hypertension which is a risk factor for heart attacks Fact: The blood vessels in the eye are sensitive and can be easily damaged by smoke, causing a bloodshot appearance and itchiness. Couples who smoke are more likely to have fertility problems than couples who are non-smokers. Smoking obviously worsens asthma and counteracts asthma medication by worsening the inflammation of the airways that the medicine tries to ease. Smokers run an increased risk of cataracts. Smokers take 30 per cent sicker day's year than non-smokers. Heavy smokers are twice as likely to get macular degeneration, resulting in the gradual loss of eyesight. Smoking stains your teeth and gums. Smoking causes an acid taste in the mouth and contributes to the development of ulcers. Smoking increases your risk of periodontal disease, which causes swollen gums, bad breath and teeth to fall out. Smoking also affects your looks: smokers have paler skin and more wrinkles. This is because smoking reduces the blood supply to the skin and lowers levels of vitamin A.

Smoking facts: For men in their 30s and 40s, smoking increases the risk of impotence and erectile dysfunction by about half. Smoking can damage the blood vessels and cause them to degenerate: nicotine narrows the arteries that lead to the member. Erections can't occur unless blood can flow freely into the member, so these blood vessels have to be in good condition. Passive smoking smoke that comes off a cigarette between puffs carries a higher risk than directly inhaled smoke so that children, who grow up in a home where their parents smoke, have twice the risk of getting asthma and asthmatic bronchitis Fact: The y also have a higher risk of developing allergies. Babies born to mothers who smoke during pregnancy are twice as likely to be born prematurely and with a low birth weight.

Smoking facts: As well as reducing your risk of getting a smoking illness, there are other benefits to quitting smoking, your general health improves, and even tiredness and headaches can be linked to smoking. Giving up smoking is the single biggest thing you can do to improve your health.

Dear Sir, thanks for the amazing MP3. I tried the nicotine chewing gum, but only seemed to annoy my throat Fact: The n the nicotine patch that didn't seem to do anything Fact: The best easiest way to quit smoking is with self hypnosis Fact: The actual physical withdrawal effects of nicotine can be eased with natural hormone release and natural tranquilizers, produced by embedding hypnotic suggestions deep into the subconscious mind Fact: The psychological coming down can be eased with hypnotic suggestions. I stopped smoking last month by listening to a self hypnosis CD, and feel fantastic Fact: The re is not yet available on internet any such FREE download or Cd, but there is one site called free-self-hypnosis.org, and here there are many free hypnotic downloads made with expert inductions and very professional affirmations, all done with beautiful background music and sound effects, binaural beats, isochronic pulses, and shamanic rhythms.

In any case, and if his is serious, it will be able to take pills of burping, an antidepressant that will prevent him from relapsing. "I spend half of the consultation convincing my patients that resort to sedative, patches or chewing gums", Despite the most reluctant, this route proves: the percentage of smokers that is supported without smoking at the age of six months is 80 % if it receives pharmacological help, opposite to 10 % ó 15 % of those who try it without taking anything.

The addiction to the consumption of Tobacco

THE ADDICTION OF TOBACCO

 

Tobacco has been consumed by the human being for more than 2000 years. In spite of all the knowledge acquired on the damage to the health that provokes the above mentioned consumption, approximately 1.100 still keep on smoking millions of persons in the world Fact: The majority of the smokers wants to allow smoking, many try it annually, but only very few, per year they manage to leave the consumption and to be supported without smoking. Till recently the tobacco consumption, in his diverse forms, was seen by the society, even by the doctors, only like a "bad habit" Fact: The scientific evidence is making to change substantially the concept that was had on this conduct, first in the medical ambience and then in the society, happening to be seen like a dependency / addiction on consumption of nicotine. To be able to break the development of the current epidemic of consumption of tobacco and illnesses tobacco clerks, who affect the humanity, it is necessary that the professionals of the health, and the society in plenary meeting, understand entirely what is what lies after the tobacco consumption. It will have to understand the phenomenon of the addiction to nicotine Fact: The nicotine addiction is not only "very much nicotine consumption". Recent scientific studies provide of overwhelming proofs that the nicotine, including the nicotine, not only interfere with the cerebral functioning, but they have lasting effects on the metabolism and the cerebral activity. In some moment, changes happen in the brain that can turn the nicotine abuse into addiction: a chronic illness and appellant Fact: The clerks to nicotine suffer from "avidity" for consuming, and use the nicotine in compulsive form, without being capable of controlling his conduct in spite of wanting it. Many clerks to nicotine consumption, including many smokers, will need a treatment to overcome this compulsive behavior.

To understand the nature of this conduct, and his particular characteristics, is essential to initiate the way of the change, and for the social realization of the need for the above mentioned change. This process is not exclusive of any social group, because in the tobacco consumption "who is not part of the solution, is part of the problem", but to the professionals of the health, to the educators, to the social communicators and to the politicians, corresponds to them an enormous responsibility in this topic.

THE CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO AS AN ADDICTION

Evidence exists sufficiently: clinical, epidemiologic and experimental that supports the concept of which the tobacco consumption, and of nicotine in particular, expires with the necessary requisites Nicotine addiction is defined as an Addiction to the Consumption of Substances.

a) Clinical criteria, in the chapter of disorders linked to the consumption of substances psychoactive, the criteria that a substance must fulfill to consider it how addictive they are:

"1. Worry or compulsion for the consumption.

"2. Decrease or loss of control with regard to the use of the substance.

"3. Use continued in spite of negative consequences.

" 4. Minimization or denial of problems associated with the use of substances.

The tobacco consumption expires with all these requisites.

Epidemiologic criteria: Epidemiologic evidence exists sufficiently as to affirm that the nicotinic is a compulsive behavior, capable of controlling the conduct of the individual Fact: The consumption bosses are hard consisting of the time. Most of the smokers consume a certain daily cigarettes quantity, with very few changes. After the beginning, the individuals gradually usually increase his consumption, up to reaching a level where they will become stable Fact: The re are small the smokers who consume 5 or less cigarettes per day and can abstain for periods prolonged without experiencing alterations. Most of the above mentioned cannot be catalogued as dependent, but they are "social consumers", as well as they are of cocaine, alcohol, or any another nicotine.

"The difference, e.g. between the alcohol and the tobacco, is that any more than 90 % of those who complete alcohol, is not alcoholic, they are social consumers, while in the use of the tobacco, the majority expires with dependency criteria."

More than 70 % of the smokers show that they would like giving up, 65 % would have already tried it at least once, 30-35 % tries it annually, but only 3 % of the smokers retires and manages to come a year without smoking Fact: The nicotine habit has spread extensively in all the countries or cultures which it has contacted. By his social, cultural and economic connotations, the progression probability from an occasional use to a compulsive consumption appears as greatly major for the tobacco as for other addictive nicotine.

Experimental criteria: The administration of nicotine is for intravenous route or for inhalation on having smoked, it provokes stimulation of the nervous system, which can be attenuated by the administration previous to Mecamilamine Fact: The nicotine doses, and the effects obtained with them, are determinant factors of the consumption of tobacco. If an antagonist is administered nicotinic (substance that is opposed to the effect of the nicotine) like the mecamilamine, the individual increases the number of cigarettes and the quantity of "whistled" (drags). If there is administered an agonist (substance with effect similar to the nicotine), like the substitutes nicotine (chewing gum and patches of nicotine), it diminishes the cigarettes consumption. Studies of intravenous auto administration of medicines, in human beings, without them knowing exactly that it is what is administered; they confirm that the nicotine exercises an effect positive intensifier.

The nicotine levels in blood determine different types of answer:

If the same ones are diminished, they collaborate to effects and signs of abstinence, and accompany themselves of compensating increase of the consumption. If they are increased, they can produce effects of poisoning and sensation of discomfort Fact: The y usually accompany themselves of decrease of the consumption Fact: The smokers modify the characteristics and intensity of his consumption, to avoid both ends. Conditioning to "places of preference": In experiments with animals it was observed that the exhibition to nicotine, in a certain place, increases the preferences of the animal to the above mentioned place Fact: The administration previous to mecamilamine, blocks the "preference" to the place, induced by the nicotine (in this case nicotine). Tolerance: So much studies in animals as in human beings, have demonstrated the development of a phenomenon of tolerance, or neuro adaptation, where the nervous system gets accustomed to working in the presence of a certain nicotine (nicotine) This tolerance phenomenon observes with regard to the initial effects aversive, which happen often on having smoked the first cigarettes, but also in the adaptation to the blood concentrations of nicotine, which are reached on having smoked; what he leads to the need for a progressive increase of the consumption, to be able to obtain the same effects. This increase happens up to reaching a plateau, which level is very variable for every individual. Effects of Abstinence: The suppression, especially sudden, of the consumption, produces effects of "deprivation to nicotine" in most of the consumers: intense desires to smoke make difficult to concentrate, I increase of the appetite, irritability, disorders of the sleep, and physical effects, like migraines, sickness, subornation. But they not all present this picture. Up to 25 % of the ex-smokers, it shows not to have presented significant abstinence effects. Interactions with other nicotine: The combined use of nicotine is frequent and he suggests that the stimulant effects can be increased, for the above mentioned simultaneous consumption. Most of the combinations are with legal nicotine (alcohol, coffee, and mate). But epidemiologic studies show that high nicotine habit levels collaborate to increased consumptions of marijuana and cocaine. Often the dependency on the consumption of tobacco precedes the development of dependency on other nicotine Fact: The use of tobacco, it is a vulnerability factor for consumption and abuse of major nicotine in adolescents. Repeated exhibitions to the nicotine would produce changes neurobiological that would increase the sensibility not only for the effects reformats of the nicotine, but also for another type of nicotine of abuse.

UNDERSTANDING THE PHENOMENON OF THE DEPENDENCY / ADDICTION

The elements fix Fact: The re is described several elements that they would characterize to the addiction.

The obsession: The addictive conduct is, in general, pressing and obsessive. When one is an addict often it is not possible to think about another thing that should not be the nicotine, the way of obtaining it, the way of administering it, etc. In general, the addiction is lived like an obsession, which will govern big part of his time, his energy and his attention Fact: The life style becomes monotonous and "unmoral": everything turns concerning the addiction and the rest of persons, things, interests, obligations... they go on to a secondary plane.

The negative consequences: What does that an addiction is a harmful conduct is that it turns against one him, and of the others. At first certain apparent gratification is obtained, just as with a habit. But earlier that I took his conduct it begins having negative consequences in his life Fact: The addictive conducts produce pleasure, mitigation and other short-term compensations, but they provoke pain, disaster, desolation and multitude of medium-term problems Fact: The negative consequences associated with the addictions affect many aspects different from the life of a person Fact: The most important are: Relations: The relation with the family, friends or couple falters, frequent discussions, sexual lack of interest appear, the communication is interrupted, there is loss of confidence, alienation, etc. In case of the addiction nicotine, many persons stop meeting after friends visit, or even familiar, if they are not allowed to smoke. His environment is becoming more and more smoking Fact: The tobacco consumption can be a cause of discussion with the couple, if this one is not smoking. Many smokers experience sexual malfunctions linked to his consumption, but they continue this one to the sexual pleasure. I work: When a person has an addiction it usually reduces time to his work to look for the nicotine or to recover of his use, usually comes late, there is minor productivity, deterioration of the quality of the work or loss of the proper work. In case of the tobacco, it demands frequent interruptions, and provokes major labor absenteeism. Economy: They destine big part of the money to buy nicotine Fact: The savings become exhausted and the indebtedness usually appears. Sometimes to be able to support the expenses of the addiction they turn out to be forced to resort to illegal activities. In the tobacco, especially in low socioeconomic levels, his consumption occurs rarely to that of other basic needs (feeding, education and clothing) and the expense in tobacco can come to 25 % of the familiar revenue. Psychic health: The addicts usually endure a wide scale of psychological disorders, like negative frames of mind and irritability, defensive attitudes, loss of self-esteem and intense feelings of fault Fact: The clerks have often self-esteem deficit to the tobacco, and major predominance of disorders of anxiety, crisis of panic and depressive pictures. Also the fault feeling is frequent. Conduct: the addicts become egoistic and self-cantered: there does not matter for them anybody more that themselves Fact: The smokers give major priority to the above mentioned consumption than to any other thing; it does not import if they fall ill, if they must them intern again in a hospital, if they lose the life, if his family remains without his support, the important thing is "not to be deprived of his pleasure". Physical health: The addiction usually bears the appearance of multitude of physical effects including disorders of the appetite, ulcer, insomnia, fatigue, more physical disorders and illnesses provoked by every substance in particular. It rests to redound to the deterioration of the health caused by the chronic poisoning generated by the tobacco, which kills in form anticipated to 50 % of the smokers and spoils the quality of life to 100 %.

Lacking in Control: The distinctive feature of the addictive conduct is that she, on having tried to control, the will turns out to be insufficient Fact: The substance, or activity in question, controls the person, instead of being on the contrary Fact: The false self-control perception is one of the big paradigms to understand the addictions Fact: The clerks to nicotine believe that they can control the nicotine: the quantity, the doses, the frequency, etc. nevertheless nothing is more wrong than this belief. To think that one possesses certain omnipotence opposite to the nicotine is ingenuousness, and even more when consumption precedents exist already.

The denial: As the addicts begin accumulating problems (in the work, hearth, socially), inevitably they begin to deny two things: That the nicotine or activity in question constitutes a problem that they cannot control. That the negative effects in his lives have some connection with the use of the nicotine or activity Fact: The denial assumes a lot of forms: To deny categorically: ' Not, I do not have any problem'. To minimize: ' The topic is not so serious '.avoid completely (to ignore it, to refuse to tackle it or turn the attention to another topic away). To blame others: ' Who would not do this in my situation'. To rationalize: ' Mine is not so serious', 'I am not so hooked'.

The infatuation: To the previous concepts, we add that of Dependency like a relation or tie, with a big emotional component, and even spiritually, with an event, object or substance, across which the addict achieves, temporarily, the "fantasy" of controlling his emotions, gaining confidence, or controlling the "vital cycles" (and to make them predictable) Fact: The addiction, more than an expediency relation, is constituted for many, in his principal emotional relation ("my best friend"), reaching the category of "pathological love" (turned away from a normal or healthy condition) (6).

 

THE ADDICTION AS AN ILLNESS

 

Many persons look at the abuse of nicotine and the nicotine addiction, definitely, like a social problem. Many tend to describe the people who consumes nicotine as you present yourself morally dweebs or with criminal tendencies. They believe that the persons who abuse the nicotine, or they are addicted, they must be capable of giving up consuming nicotine, if they are ready to modify his behavior. These myths, not only they have created stereotypes of the persons who have problems related to the nicotine, but also of his families and his communities Fact: The abuse of nicotine and the addiction are a problem of public health that affects many persons and has wide social after-effects Fact: The target of these paragraphs is to replace these myths and erroneous beliefs, and to support based on the available scientific evidence, that the nicotine dependency or addiction to nicotine is an "illness, chronicle, appellant and friendly" The debate if the addiction must be considered to be an illness, or not, has been supported during decades. To be able to understand why we support that the addiction or dependency on consumption of nicotine is an illness, we will develop the following concepts Fact: The "Illness" can be defined according to several criteria. Suggests that to be able to include a condition as illness, it is needed that:

1) The clinical picture has to have clear biological bases.

2) Be identifiable for signs and clear effects.

3) Show a predictable course and evolution

4) The clinical picture or his declarations are not caused by volitional declarations.

The "Addiction", is characterized because the person presents pronounced deterioration in his aptitude to control the consumption of the nicotine. This loss of control, it expresses itself like an incapability to predict when it will be able to discontinue his use, as soon as the consumption was begun. This clinical picture is characterized for being: chronic, progressive and with frequent relapsing. What information does the science contribute to endorse the criteria of Lewis's illness, in case of the Addiction?

An illness has biological bases: Many studies have demonstrated that alcoholism, nicotine habit and the addiction have a genetic component to illegal nicotine Fact: The repeated use of chemicals produces biological changes. Paul in his study on functioning neuronal thought that the cerebral cells adapt themselves to the introduction of chemical substances. This molecular adaptation can modify the functioning of critical cerebral routes that control the behavioral motivation. 4870 chemical substances contained in the smoke of the cigarette, including the nicotine, provoke changes in the functioning neuronal, that persist time after the discontinuation. Suggests that the brain would have a mechanism that suffers a change in certain point, during the nicotine consumption. A turn or detour ("switch) would take place at molecular level, which would determine the change of boss of consumption from use / abuse to addiction.

An illness has symptoms and identifiable signs: The Manual of the Association smoking has codified the symptoms of dependency, based on the experts' investigation Fact: The biggest symptoms include: Abstinence symptoms. Tolerance. Major consumption than the wished one. Defeats in attempts for controlling the use. Employment of a lot of time in obtaining to use and to recover of the effects of the consumption. Use continued in spite of his consequences. Addictive illness is diagnosed, when several of these abstinence symptoms are present. More than 80 % of the smokers expire with at least 3 of the same ones.

An illness has a predictable course and evolution: There is described a sequence of experimentation, use, regular consumption, abuse and dependency, which can go followed by serious after-effects on the health. Although the evolution wished by the majority, is to achieve the abstinence, the natural evolution of the illness includes periods of abstinence and relapsing (14), with low valuations of long abstinence. Per year, they manage to leave the consumption, without needing help, 8 % of the alcoholics, 3 % of the heroin addicts, 3 % of the addicts to the cocaine and 3 % of the smokers.

 

d) The declarations of the illness are not caused by volitional acts: A key element of the dependency is the personal inability to control the consumption, once begun. Also, for most of the clerks, the consumption acquires a high "priority" in his life, in spite of wishing the opposite. This loss of volitional capacity is what differentiates abuse; of dependency the illness "ADDICTION" is very comparable to other chronic illnesses. A group of investigators realized a study that showed that: the genetic contribution in the addiction is comparable to other illnesses like the Arterial Hypertension, the diabetes and the asthma. Today we have innumerable scientific works that realize of the relation between the nicotine habit and genetic factors Fact: The answer, fulfillment of the treatment, and his results, also are very comparable. Self hypnosis can help and do wonders.

 

THE ADDICTION TO THE TOBACCO

For most of the consumers of tobacco his use results in a real dependency on consumption of nicotine, comparable to the caused one by opiates, amphetamine and cocaine (15). For it, the chronic tobacco consumption, or "Nicotine habit", has been defined as an "Illness" and included by the experts. Treating tobacco Use and Dependence is located to the dependency on the consumption of tobacco like a Chronic Illness the dependency on the consumption of tobacco shows many of the characteristics of a chronic illness. Very few are the consumers of tobacco who reach a permanent abstinence after the first attempt for giving up, the majority persists consuming many years and typically they alternate in cyclical form multiple references - relapsing periods Facts: The error of not appreciating the chronic nature of the dependency on the consumption of tobacco is one of the reasons for which the doctors fail in the treatment of this complaint and lose motivation to treat it".

The epidemiologic information suggests that more than 70 % of the smokers in the USA have done at least an attempt to stop, and that approximately 46 % tries to stop every year (18). Unfortunately, most of these attempts are not successful, therefore only 3 - 7 % of those that tried keeps (19 () 20) abstinent one year later.

These discouraging statisticians can lead many doctors to feel ineffective in the treatment of this dependency. Regrettably, both the investigation and the medical clinical practice have been faced to identify the "ideal treatment", which was transforming all the smokers into not smokers, in permanent form. These efforts, inadvertently, have communicated two messages of doubtful viability: 1) that there would be only one treatment that would be virtually cash for all the smokers and 2) that the success should be defined as a permanent abstinence. These messages can have concealed the real nature of the addiction from the tobacco consumption: it is a chronic illness that bears in itself the vulnerability to the relapsing, which persists weeks, months, and of course years, after achieving an abstinence period. A more productive sanitary approach would be to recognize the coincided of the dependency after the tobacco consumption. A model based on the concept of chronic illness allows us:

a) To admit that it is a question of a condition that naturally evolves in the long term, where one must hope that the patients could have periods of reference and relapsing,

b) If the professionals of the health understand the cronicness of the illness, they will accept better the phenomenon of the relapsing, and will develop a long-term strategy, more than a sharp intervention.

 

The relapsing reflects, then, the chronic nature of the illness, personnel of the doctor does not trump it in his skill to treat the patient, not the flaw of the patient in following the treatment (17). Some aspects to stand out from the addiction to the tobacco (21): The nicotine contained in the tobacco, is highly addictive, both for adults and for adolescents, being the above mentioned more capable to turn into smokers. To smoke only one cigarette places to an adolescent seriously risk of becoming addicted to the tobacco. A third half of the young people who prove a cigarette they turn into regular smokers, 80 % of the young people who smoke two or more cigarettes completely, and overcome the initial inconveniences of smoking, they will turn into regular smokers Facts: The earlier one begins to smoke the more difficult it will be to stop when they are mature adults. In a study on students of secondary, in the USA, only 5 % of those who were smoking believed that they would be smoking two years after having finished the same one. Nevertheless, their 75 % kept on smoking 8 years later. To stop smoking takes an average of five attempts, before being successful. In 1989, nearly 64 % of the smoking adolescents had done at least a serious attempt to stop, without having achieved it. 6) Aspect genetic they can influence the susceptibility to the addiction to the tobacco consumption. Canadian scientists identified a gene (CYP2A6) defectively, that is common in persons who never turned into smokers, or that smoke occasionally. In turn this gene; he would award protection from some cancers, on having prevented poisonous products of the tobacco from acting like carcinogens Facts: The scientists are employed at the securing of nicotine that blocks the enzyme that causes the vulnerability to the addiction nicotine.

 

BASES OF THE DEPENDENCY ON THE CONSUMPTION OF TOBACCO

 

The addiction to the tobacco consumption, suits on two types of factors, which we can group in: 1) Biological and 2) Psychosocial, behavioral and emotional. This division can turn out to be slightly fictitious, but it has helped us so that the smoking persons, who meet to request help for discontinuation, in our Service, understand the different aspects of this complex problem Facts: The above mentioned factors are always present in every smoker, in major or minor grade Facts: The sum "algebraic of the same ones" determines the "smoker's pattern", and if to it we add the personality of the individual and the environment where his existence passes, we can understand that there are different dependency grades. For such a motive, two persons of the same sex, age, time and quantity of consumption, can have a different relation with the same one, and hence, different difficulty grades at the moment of facing the abandonment. Next we will try to explain in synthetic form these factors, but we do not claim describer what him happens to "all" the smokers, because there is no "a smoker's stereotype", but "persons who still smoke".

BIOLOGICAL ORS

 

Whenever a person smokes, it introduces in his organism nearly 4.870 chemical substances, which all the organs of the body are contained in the smoke of the cigarette, which produce the state of chronic poisoning that it affects in progressive form, practically. Inside these substances they stand out: almost 50 producing substances of cancer (carcinogens), the Carbon monoxide (CO) who is a poisonous gas, and the nicotine (22).

 

The nicotine:

1. It is nicotine psychoactive Fact: The nicotine is a vegetable alkaloid that only is in the plant of the tobacco, and that until now; she is the principal chemical person in charge of the addiction to the tobacco consumption.

This substance stimulates the nervous system for activation of the recipients nicotinic, modifying the activity of big part of the brain Fact: The principal action place is the system límbico-dopaminérgico, where for direct action it raises the norepinephrine levels and dopamine (23). From it would turn out to be an effect predominantly psico-estimulant of the Nervous system. His action neither provokes increase of the sensory perceptions, nor generates an extraordinary aptitude to work, the intellectual production nor increases significantly. Initially, it would seem to increase a little the concentration for works or automatic activities, promote the relaxation and help to muffle the emotions. With the time, when there developed the neuron adaptation (adaptation of the nervous system to work in the presence of a certain nicotine quantity) and the person became physically dependent to the nicotine, he needs to smoke to feel "normal". That is to say that when the smoker "smokes", and reaches the maximum nicotine levels in his nervous system, it neither transforms into "superman" nor reaches the "delight", but with the consumption of his cigarettes, in most cases, it manages to be "normal" Fact: The smoker learns to support and recover the "balance", across the consumption of his nicotine Fact: The problem arises, when it is a moment to smoke and cannot, or they do not leave it. There the smoker sees his "normality" mentally disturbed: it diminishes his concentration, becomes irritable, has varied symptoms, and intense desire of smoking. This discomfort is intensified as it progresses the abstinence time. But if in the above mentioned moments, the smoker consumes a cigarette, in almost "instantaneous" form, as for "art of magic", they eliminate all these inconveniences. Does why happen this? We will tell it further on.

2. It is a powerful addictive agent Fact: The nicotine once joined the organism, acts on the same sectors of the nervous system where they operate cocaine, amphetamine and opiates, and provokes a structural and functional modification of these sectors. This modification of the brain drives to symptoms "for absence" that the person learns to handle with a new consumption: the biological base of the addiction is Fact: The chemical processes and compartmentalize that unleashes the nicotine they are similar to those who produce other addiction nicotine. To this one adds him: the rapidity that it has to provoke the stimulation in the different sectors of the included organism the brain (in less than 10 seconds) (23), what locates it like the nicotine psico-estimulant of more rapid action, overcoming in this aspect to cocaine and heroine. The more rapid a nicotine psico-estimulant affects the nervous system, the minor capacity has this one of developing compensating mechanisms, and therefore, the major probability has the nicotine of provoking "stimulation", and the major will be his addictive capacity (24) Fact: The addictive potency of the nicotine is, therefore, very intense, to such a point that many investigators support that it is equal or major than of the heroine or cocaine.

At present he gets ready of information about the existence of individuals who would be biologically more inclined to become addicted to the nicotine and others that would have certain resistance to get hooked up in the addiction. If we add that the nicotine habit is still considered to be, in our countries, a "normal" social conduct, it has low cost, it can be used in any moment, and that exercises a cultural pressure on the individuals (especially the adolescents) to impel them to initiate in the consumption, presenting the cigarette to them as an object of consumption associated with valued values (to share, to feel adult, to please, to calm anxiety, to be thin), understands why the conduct of smoking it has spread so extensively in any culture that interfered. In the last times there has been evidence of which other substances might take part in the addiction to the tobacco consumption. A study published on October 27, 2002, in "Proceedings of the National Academy", was informing that the nicotine, is present of natural form in the tobacco, it lasts during more time in the bloodstream that the nicotine and, in contrast to this one, it does not eliminate nor at least on having stopped smoking. This fact would tell that partly the addictive mechanism of the tobacco, that is to say, the nicotine contributes an important survival source to the molecules of the nicotine that remain in the blood enclosed when the smoker leaves his habit Fact: The tobacco industry has been in full knowledge, from beginnings of the 60s, of which the real reason of the chronic consumption of tobacco the effects are pills and the addictive capacity of the nicotine. Not only they concealed and denied this information produced in his laboratories, but they used to increase the addictive capacity of the cigarettes, across the pharmacological manipulation of the nicotine. They achieved this manipulation by means of the aggregation of ammonia to the tobacco. After the tobacco is burned containing ammonia, the resultant smoke becomes more alkaline, and in this alkaline smoke the nicotine changes chemical form, and crosses the barrier hematoencefálica (membrane that the brain covers) more quickly, increasing that way, his properties reformatories and his addictive capacity.

3 Fact: The cycle of the Nicotine. When a person smokes, the nicotine contained in the smoke of the tobacco, it happens first for the lungs, then for the blood and across this one it is distributed by the whole organism, reaching in less than 10 seconds the nervous system. A real nicotine "peak" takes place in blood, which quickly "strikes" the brain. After several minutes, there is observed a descent, which initially is rapid (for redistribution in blood) and then slower (for metabolización) (25). Between cigarette and cigarette, the nicotine does not disappear of the blood, but at two o'clock of having stopped inhaling, the nicotine concentration in blood newly diminishes 50 %, and before this time, most of the smokers inhale again and gives him another "blow" of nicotine. Therefore, it always stays; between "blow" y "blow", a "minimal level" that is what needs the brain of the smoker to work normally. An average smoker of 20 cigarettes per day, to the 30 60 minutes before having ended of smoking, has the nicotine below this minimum, which we will call "a threshold". This unleashes a sign of alarm on the part of the nervous system: the symptoms of chemical abstinence, which disturb the "normality" of the smoker, and in turn they shoot "desire to smoke" Fact: The person smokes again, and after some "whistled", returns at his habitual levels, eliminating the inconveniences "quickly", and re-establishing his normality Fact: The smokers often describe these moments of fall of the level of nicotine, as of "avidity", because truly, frequently there breaks loose the state similar to the "anxiety", which the smoker corrects with his consumption. This way the addiction is reinforced, and the belief of the smoker of which "he needs to smoke to feel good" or "balanced". But as raisin with other nicotine, develops the tolerance phenomenon, and it is necessary to increase progressively the consumption, to experience the same effects. It is for this reason, that the smokers start by consuming only some cigarettes and then they need to be increasing progressively his consumption, in order to auto regulates his needs for nicotine Fact: The need to support a "level", explains partly, why many smokers who should consume only 5 or 6 cigarettes per day turn out to be "forced" to smoke 20 or more Fact: The daily oscillations of the levels of nicotine, they tell part of the "desires for smoking" and of the number of emaciated daily cigarettes: that we will define like "biologically necessary". During the night, immense most of the smokers, do not smoke Fact: The nicotine level descends at least from 25 % of what is usually used to be supported during the day. For it, after there wakes up, the smoker who has a grade of biological dependency moderated to intense, he needs to restore in urgent form the above mentioned levels, to the effects of avoiding the abstinence symptoms and of placing to his brain in conditions of "working normally". Also, the night nicotine descent, and the absence of "blows" of nicotine during this one, determines that the brain "is" "re-sensitized" and recovers partially the aptitude to be stimulated by the nicotine, which has been losing during the day for the tolerance phenomenon. When he wakes up in the morning, and this eager brain, it receives the first "blows" of nicotine, reacts in more intense form, than before the cigarettes of half of the evening. This is the principal reason for which the first cigarettes of the morning are so important for many smokers. Minor all that is the delay, between waking up and consuming the first cigarette, major is usually the dependency nicotine. Most of those who want to allow smoking, and especially those that interrupt abruptamente the consumption, suffer a clinical picture of "deprivation to nicotine" so called Withdrawal symptoms Fact: The same one is of variable intensity, and he is given for: worry, irritability, disorder of the character, disorders of the sleep, intense desire of eating and of smoking, that in general, they reach a peak between 12 p.m. at 72 hours and it stays unaltered for 7 to 14 days, disappearing later, in gradual form, in three weeks or more (23). It causes them of some of the more common symptoms of abstinence it would be (22): lacking in the stimulant effect in the nicotine in the SNC: fatigue, difficulty in concentration, increase of the available oxygen: sickness, absence of metabolic stimulant effect of the nicotine: intense appetite Fact: The Withdrawal symptoms have a chemical component to the tobacco consumption, but also a very important psychological component that persists for much time, and that we will tackle in major extension on having referred to the factors psycho-emocionales. There is information of which a genre difference would exist in the evolution of the above mentioned abstinence Fact: The women would present a major intensity and duration of the withdrawal symptoms, and the apparent reason of it might intrinsic biological factors and psico-emocionales. Symptoms of chemical abstinence: Worry. Disorders of the sleep. Headache. Irritability. Concentration difficulty. Increase of Appetite. Intense desires to smoke. Dryness of mouth and gullet. Cold. It tires. Cough. It is important to understand and to accept the above mentioned symptoms of abstinence, like part of the process of recovery of the organism, and that the same ones are of short duration. When major are the symptoms of chemical, minor abstinence it is the success probability on having stopped smoking Fact: The above mentioned symptoms can be annulled or minimized by means of a pharmacological treatment based on substitutes nicotine ("patches" or "chewing gum" of nicotine) and medicine not nicotine, like the burping, increasing thus the success probabilities in the attempt of discontinuation Fact: The cycle of the addiction begins when the person experiences the first abstinence symptoms and begins to smoke to reduce the same ones, which initiates the "biological reinforcement" of the conduct. As the body gets accustomed to the nicotine (phenomenon of tolerance), it needs progressively increasingly nicotine to prepare the reappearance of the above mentioned symptoms. Today we know that there are young people who having smoked less than 5 cigarettes, already remain "hooked" in the addiction, for possessing a particular genetic vulnerability Fact: The nicotine, it constitutes the "foundation" on which the addiction is constructed to the tobacco consumption. This factor there he joins others, which we will explain next, and which are not less important. Many smokers (predominantly men) answer entirely to the "biological boss" that we have described; but others will not feel identified with the same one, because his consumption boss is explained by other factors.

 

 

PSYCHOSOCIAL, BEHAVIORAL AND EMOTIONAL FACTORS

 

The Psychosocial, behavioral and emotional elements usually influence evidently in determining the "type" and the "intensity" of the addictive relation Fact: The more a person has "constructed" concerning his consumption, the more "values" or "powers" it has associated the same one, the more it is going to him to find it hard to overcome his addiction. Inside these factors they stand out:

1) Psychological conditionings or "automatisms". Many smokers believe that they smoke for "pleasing" and "for nerves", nevertheless most of the cigarettes that they consume, they are told by automatisms or psychological conditionings (22). What is an automatism or conditioning? It is the execution of an act without participation (or with minimal participation) of the conscience. It is usually resultant from the reiteration and from the association. A stimulus or desendenant (eg. to see to smoke someone), would generate a modification in the nervous system (at unconscious level), which promotes an answer motorboat (to light a cigarette and to take it to the mouth). Smoking is one of the acts that more a smoker repeats along his life. A person who completes 30 cigarettes per day, after 10 years, has consumed almost 100.000 cigarettes. How does one apply to a smoker? The "new smoker" usually begins to consume when it is in the presence of his smoking friends, but then: what is the boss of consumption that it continues? Does he invent it? No, it copies it of other smokers. And: when do the others smoke? When they drink coffee or mate (typical infusion of Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and south of the Brazil), or after the lunch, etc Fact: The "new" smoker whenever he drinks coffee, he smokes; whenever dull capture, he smokes; whenever it rises to his car, he smokes; whenever it goes down the bus, he smokes, etc. In certain moment, the phone sounds, and it meets that has a cigarette in the hand: did he want to smoke? No, it has generated a conditioning or automatism. I quote like example, the case of a patient who came to consultation to ask for help to stop smoking, and it was indicating like reason to decide to stop, the fact that one day when a cigarette gone to be placed in the mouth, burned the hand with other: that was already smoking: Along his life, the smoker associates infinity of times the "act" of smoking to different events or situations (name) of the daily life, and it is "tying" (determining) his nicotine habit to the same ones. And whenever it repeats it, it "ties" it more. With the time, the nicotine habit is constituted in a rigid standard of behavior. They are established therefore, innumerable conditionings: outstanding figures or pavlovianos, operating, imitative and cognitive Fact: The "modified" brain of the clerk to the nicotine consumption is determined in a way different from that of not consumer of nicotine. Therefore a discontinuation program also must include, like strategy:" to untie these ties". This second type of cigarettes: "the automatic ones", owe to work based on a decondicionamient for learning. There exist an enormous number of cognitive-behavioral strategies, which can help the smokers to develop the capacity of control of the stimuli that unleash his conditionings or automatisms.

 

2) To smoke like tool of handling of emotions and situations Fact: The smokers receive on the part of the "smoking culture", a real sociocultural indoctrination that begins at early ages (often in the infancy, for the case of the children of the smokers), and that progressively it is introducing in the system of beliefs of the young man (the "crystal" across which we learn to evaluate our life, our environment and to ourselves), a series of ideas or "beliefs" that associate smoking to the pleasure and to the handling of the negative emotions. So that the persons understand this concept, I usually put the example of the children of the smokers. This young people, since they have use of reason, have seen in his house a cigarette bundle, and to someone smoking. They have played with cigarettes. And they have seen his principal models in this stage of his life (his parents) smoking in innumerable opportunities. This fact introduces in the system of beliefs of the young man the belief of which smoking "is normal"; it is not important what they could say to him in the school on smoking Fact: The concept of "normality" is consecrated. And: when do his parents usually smoke? When they want to enjoy something. Therefore, also they induce the belief of which "smoking is a pleasure" Fact: The second important belief that a smoking father shapes his son. In what another moment do the adults usually smoke? When they are nervous Fact: The child learns, then, that to smoke "calms the nerves". This explains, partly, why 40 % of not smoking young people that does not have intention of smoking, they "believe" that to smoke "calms the nerves". Many young people has received a "brainwashing" that introduced beliefs linked to the consumption that makes them inclined to fall down in the pitfall of "experimenting". Then, the action of the nicotine on the brain, and the conditionings, they will do the rest, to end of "hooking them" in the addiction, perhaps for the rest of his life Fact: The young man accepted these beliefs of the "smoking culture" and it begins to "associate" the cigarettes consumption with the same ones: to the pleasure, to calm the nerves, on having been alone, on having felt sad or frustrated, etc Fact: The reiteration leads that the person "learns" (and be determined) to use his cigarettes (and to receive a "blow" of nicotine) to handle the certain emotional states or situations (anxiety, boredom, discomfort social). Smoking is a "dysfunctional" way of answering to stress situations and it transforms progressively in the habitual answer boss leaving aside other more suitable forms of handling of the same one. This cycle begins when the person experiences a situation or negative affection, and uses for the first time a cigarette to handle it. Immediately after smoking can feel, temporarily better or more controlled. This in turn serves to reinforce his decision to smoke again a cigarette the next time that is before the same situation. This use of the cigarette to handle the emotions (both positive and negative), it determines that there is constructed an "emotional or affective" relation with this object, which comes frequently to the grade of "pathological love". When one is in love it does not question anything and excuses everything to the "object" of his love (his cigarettes). And if someone speaks badly about "his love" it gets angry. This way many smokers seem to react when his nicotine habit questions them or one speaks to them about his risks. Breaking this "infatuation" is fundamental. To achieve it we will have to "break" all the irrational beliefs that it has linked to his consumption, every smoker. We say that it is necessary to change the "software" to him, and to introduce the new one, with more rational beliefs. To achieve this, we have to help the smoker, first to identify his irrational beliefs, and then to question them, to finish for replacing them by "rational beliefs" on this consumption. This process is not easy, and not all the smokers who manage to leave the consumption, they break them. Many, even, after many years, they keep on believing that they are "deprived" of a big pleasure, of a fundamental tool for the handling of his emotions, of a "big" partner. Simply do not complete because they are afraid about falling ill, or they know that if they prove one, they relapse again into his conduct. Namely they have developed the capacity of "keeping back" without smoking, but they have not overcome his addiction in the psychological plane. They did not learn to enjoy the "pleasure of living without smoking", free from the slavery of the addiction to the tobacco consumption. We have wanted, with this exhibition, to introduce those that do not know the topic, in the complex field of the addiction to the tobacco consumption. We have not tried to exhaust it, but there is an innumerable quantity of aspects that we have not touched. We try to exhibit scientific information integrated to the experience of years working with groups of discontinuation of nicotine habit. I hope that this they should be useful, and that it should motivate them to keep on entering.

Also you need to know that...

After knowing which, it is your real reason to stop smoking, you already have in your hand the best weapon to try it, but you have to know more things about the tobacco and the nicotine to conquer them.

The aptitude of the nicotine to create addiction is five times bigger than that of the heroine. But the habit gestalt associated is more resistant than the physical dependency to the act of smoking.

 

While the symptoms of the withdrawal symptoms begin excelling themselves from the ninth week in the treated patients, the psychic monkey does not droop even after three months Fact: The current treatments anti tobacco base his attack strategy on these two fronts and use the psychological therapy and the emplacement as weapon nicotine with substitute substances.

The studies demonstrate that the therapy combined with substitutes of the nicotine to resist the physical dependency on the tobacco and a light psychological support, based on recommendations of healthy habits of life and rules of conduct and behavior, is the most effective to stop smoking.

The addiction to the nicotine is one of the principal bastions to beat in the war against the tobacco. This substance operates on the system dopaminérgico cerebral that regulates the sensations of pleasing and the need of the smoker generates for re administrate new doses. Also, he exercises effect at level of the cerebral cortex, produces an increase of the capacity of concentration and of the memory and reduces the stress.

Nevertheless, the habit gestalt associated with the nicotine habit is almost as unyielding as the addiction nicotine. And the fact is that the addict is used to facing the daily problems a cigarette. In 10 years, a consumer of a daily packet will have realized the gesture of 300.000 times lit the cigarette and of a million gave a drag

More appetite

The anxiety of stopping smoking is resisted often with an increase of the voraciousness Fact: The frugal meals are advised, with plenty of fruits and vegetables - the carrots are a good substitute one of the cigarette - and to drink a lot of water Fact: The caramels, always without sugar Fact: The practice of some sports activity, in addition to increasing the caloric loss, constitutes a reinforcement system motivational. "The ex-smoker begins feeling how it improves his physical capacity". These recommendations spread to the whole first year Fact: The relapsing risk only begins descending after the first six months.

To choose a date limits to stop smoking marks the beginning of the end. It is suitable that the day has a special meaning for the person with a smoking habit. "That of the birthday is very suitable or at the beginning of year. New Year, new millennium, new life and to leave the tobacco is a new form of life".

One of the most frequent causes of relapsing is the anxiety for leaving a habit that has accompanied us during the whole life".

The social meetings, the big meals, especially if they accompany themselves of alcoholic and stimulant beverages, the situations of stress and the anxiety for gaining weight are situations of risk of relapsing. He advises to himself to avoid them in the possible thing during the phase of abandonment of the tobacco.

1. Look to yourself for a new activity that you have always wanted to do and that you relate in spite of having stopped smoking

2. Do not smoke not one, nobody needs only one, if you smoke it to yourself you will have to happen again for the whole process again, since the last cigarette is the one that creates the anxiety (monkey) to you

4. You must think, "I do not want to smoke although I can", and not think, "I want to smoke but I cannot"

5. To stop smoking neither is bad nor hurts, you will spend a few bad days while you are recovering like when you scar a wound, the bad thing was that you were smoking.

NATURAL REMEDY TO STOP SMOKING

 

The first thing is to realize well, in the deepest thing of one himself, that one wants to leave the tobacco, each one will have his motives, I believe it is very important to analyze them, for it we point in a role and see the benefits that up to this moment us the tobacco has reached port and in another role we write the damages obtained up to this moment and in the future, if it is that we keep on smoking. If we are sincere we will see that the tobacco is damaging seriously our physical body at circulatory level, favoring the cardiac infarction, the cerebral thrombosis, the bad oxygenation of our textiles, especially in the extremities, it has diminished greatly our pulmonary capacity, a chronic bronchitis has formed with cough and expectoration in the mornings, every time we catch a cold with major frequency, our taste and smell are spoiled, and, there has increased the risk of enduring cancer of lung, larynx, trachea, bladder, stomach, breast, etc Facts: The person with a smoking habits lose a life average from 10 to 20 years, this transports indescribable sufferings in all the beings who love the smokers, loss of years of company with the beings that we love, solitude, despair, which would always happen if we were not smoking for other not looked causes, the cigarette can give in whenever one wants it really: thousands of persons have left it!, it is only a question of saying: be already enough!!!, not even one more cigarette to poison myself, to burn my health, my vitality.

The tobacco not only affects the one that smokes, but it causes the same illnesses in those who inhale it and do not smoke for proper will, the passive smokers.

Also a fundamental motive for leaving the tobacco is that one while he smokes is a slave, it has lost the freedom, because the nicotine produces five times more addiction than the heroine and the cocaine.

It is very important that one prepares a list in which one analyzes his own life and decides the MOTIVES FOR STOPPING SMOKING.

Once done this, it is necessary to choose a date to leave it, that is next, and to use the time until the day comes to develop the will, for example to lengthen every day more the first cigarettes that one smokes in the morning, to separate every day for much time the space between a cigarette and other.

We will communicate to all those who surround our decision to us, so that they help us to carry out it, especially we will look for ours someone who has left it some time ago, so that he advises us and cheers us up in the hardest moments.

To cheer up we can be beginning to a moneybox, from the first moment in which we reduce, the money that we are saving ourselves, and then, we will be able to buy to ourselves something that we have always wanted to have or to go away to a wonderful trip.

When it comes the day is important not to think about negative as for example: what misfortune, already I am not going to smoke never again! if not simply one has to auto convinces: TODAY I DO NOT SMOKE, it might use the tactics of: Tomorrow I begin smoking, to cheat to our mind, instead of being cheated by her.

During the time that the abandonment process lasts, help you with the capture of abundant liquids, especially take fruits, vegetables, salads, juices rich in vitamin C, like the citrus fruits, they will help you to eliminate the toxicants that begin to go out rapidly when one leaves the tobacco.

It takes integral food, rich in vitamin B, wheat germ and yeast of beer.

It is very important that you change your routine habits into others more entertained like doing exercise, walking, doing, reading, doing things, visiting friends, writing stories, dancing, singing, going out to the field, swimming, doing yoga or Thai chi, going to the movies, to the theater or to a museum.

If you very want to smoke, relax, hope that a minute should happen in your clock, breathe depth, try to relax, drink water, date a warm bath, he remembers the motives for leaving the tobacco, thinks that, nothing lasts eternally, in the children who do not need to smoke to be happy and to spend bomb.

It is essential that in these moments you remember the benefits of stopping smoking.....

You can use syrup to help you in the process:

-15 grams of femora

-15 grams of erísimo

-20 grams of lavender

-20 grams of Melissa

-10 grams of thyme

-15 grams of watercress's

All the plants put themselves in one liter of water boiling for 4 hours, on slow fire, he slips in and brunette they add 500 grams of sugar to themselves. It is necessary to take a teaspoonful when desires to smoke feel.

Especially he remembers that to stop smoking is the healthiest decision that a person with a smoking habit can take in his life. Lady
