| Quitting Smoking |
|
It's never too late to stop smoking. Even people who have smoked all their lives will improve their health by stopping smoking. Stopping smoking is a difficult thing to do. One of the main reasons is because of nicotine. Nicotine is the highly addictive drug in cigarettes and it is this addictive nature that makes it difficult to quit. When you quit smoking your body no longer gets the nicotine it has become used to and you may suffer withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms may include feeling irritable, difficulty in concentrating, developing a cough, sleep disruption and headaches. To quit smoking successfully you need to be strongly motivated and really want to be a non smoker. Nicotine Replacement Therapy, Zyban® or Champix® can help take the edge off the withdrawals from nicotine. Group Support or one to one support will also help you in your attempt to give up smoking. Stopping smoking can be made easier with NRT/Zyban® /Champix® and support, but your determination, effort and commitment are vital. |
