For many smokers the desire to quit smoking is strong yet it seems no matter what they do, they just cant seem to break this devastating habit. The inability to quit smoking causes many to privately belittle themselves and curse their seeming weakness.

For others it seems they simply wake up one morning and decide to quit smoking. What makes the difference in these people? Is someone who decides to quit smoking like this a stronger person than the one who has yet to become a non-smoker? Lets evaluate.

First of all, most people, even the smokers do not really enjoy smoking. For some of the nicotine addiction is strong. Nicotine is very addictive and this addiction to smoking can not be tried very hard and difficult. Even after months have passed, there are those who start smoking again. So, if you are one who has yet to stop smoking or not to advise may have.

Thus, for you the decision to quit smoking must be accompanied by a will that is just as strong, if not stronger than your current will to quit smoking. Many processes and plans have been developed by different organizations to aid you in this process.

One component is mandatory if any of these aids are necessary for the person who previously attempted to quit smoking. This component is your attitude. Before you begin, to quit smoking, you will probably need some adjustments in attitude. If you prepare yourself before you actually quit smoking, your chances for success are much better.

The way to begin to prepare you is to come to certain realizations. First off, you cant quit just because someone told you it is bad for your health. You cant quit because your significant other wants you to quit smoking. Most likely fear is not a good motivator for you either. Youve developed a strong will to continue, even though you berate yourself for it.

So, for the decision to stop smoking it must be a will that is just as strong if not stronger than your current will to keep smoking. Many processes and plans have been developed by various organizations to support you in this process.

Most will tell you to set a quit date at least 10 days out, and dont actually stop smoking until your quit date. Its also advised that cold turkey is the most successful quit path.

During those days before your actual quit smoking target date, you are mentally preparing yourself to be free from smoking. This must be a strong decision that only you can make for yourself. No one else can do it for you.

To lead you to the strength you need to effectively quit smoking, youll need to evaluate yourself and the real reasons behind why you are still smoking. This is not an easy task for many, but once theyve listed all the true reasons, and have adopted the mental attitude to replace smoking with other things that will provide better benefits, the task of quitting becomes much easier.

Remember, the mind and body thrive and accommodate whatever substance you give it. Be sure to feed both the mind and body only positive substance and the results will be positive. You can quit smoking. - 16887
