Lung cancer is the leading cause of death of smokers. Every year, thousands, possibly millions of people world wide from this terrible disease. There are a lot things you can do to prevent this. The best way is to stop smoking completely, but every smoker knows that is very difficult to do. So what can you do to help you quit smoking and prevent cancer? Try an alternative smoking device called the electronic cigarette.

The electronic cigarette looks and feels just like a regular tobacco cigarette. You use it the same way you use a regular cigarette . You inhale on it and a water vapor containing nicotine is inhaled. When you breathe it out , you exhale the vapor and it looks and taste like the cigarette smoke you exhale now. So how is this going to prevent cancer from developing?

The electronic cigarette does not have any of the cancer causing ingredients that typical cigarettes contain. The electric cigarette only contains water vapor and nicotine. When you puff on the electronic cigarette, the water vapor evaporates and is inhaled along with nicotine. That is it, you do not have any of the 4,000 + chemicals that a typical cigarette has!

An electronic cigarette tastes exactly the same as a regular smoke. If you prefer menthol or other different flavor cigarettes, there are cartridges that will give you the taste you are looking for. The nicotine cartridges comes in various strengths from strong, regular, mild, very mild to no nicotine. So you can slowly cut down on the amount of nicotine you use. This is what is holding you back from quitting altogether. The addiction to the nicotine is hard and and this is the best way to let go of that addiction. By slowly reducing the amount your body is accustomed to, your body will not get the withdrawal symptoms that all the smokers who quit cold turkey get.

You will over come the addiction the tobacco industry has on you and you will be able to stop smoking and you will effectively cut down the risk of getting cancer. You will also improve your over all health. Your lungs will feel much better, you will breather much easier and you will no longer have the cigarette smell on your clothes and hair. Your nails will no longer look yellow as well. If you want to a live case study and see the results, visit http://trysmokeassist.com/ right now.

2 Thanks, Tobacco: You Killed My MomThis video was created over a one-year period. At first, it was just random use of a video camera, plus a few pictures taken during a visit in September of 2006. Of course, this was before we knew that Mom had a collapsed lung. She went in for tests, and it was discovered that she had Stage IV Lung Cancer. As we learned of the cancer diagnosis in October of 2006, we tried to get Mom down to California (from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada). It was a race against logistics and paperwork (i.e. obtaining documentation in order to cross a border and travel), which we unfortunately lost. Mom suffered a stroke, ironically on the same day as she received her birth certificate, which would have allowed her to travel to Southern California. The stroke left her left side completely paralyzed, and she was stuck in the hospital, no longer the independent woman she once was. We were summoned to fly up immediately, as we were told by her doctors that her death would not be far behind. Mom proved them all wrong, and lived for four more months. Of course, the quality of life was minimal at best. There was no treatment, since the cancer was discovered so late, and due to the stroke. We have since learned that often times, a biopsy can knock loose cancerous material within a tumor, which can cause a stroke. It was extremely difficult to watch her suffering in a hospital bed, and wondering why her last months had to be made that much worse due to the stroke. So, Mom never did get to come see where we live in California. We continued to videotape the entire ordeal, so that family (who couldn’t be with us at that time) could see everything. We ended up with approximately 90 minutes of raw footage, which has been edited down to the 10 minutes allowed here. First, we have done this to honor Mom’s last wishes: tell people not to smoke. Second, we have completed this very emotional project to honor her memory, and to help us as we continue through the grieving process. Finally, we are aware that much of the anti-smoking media is not so real to life–it doesn’t show the suffering, what the families go through, and the pain that cigarettes actually cause. This documentary is “non-Hollywood”. We have omitted certain things that one might find offensive, including her IV, vomiting, bodily functions, and her actual death itself, which was obviously painful. Instead, we have brought many different segments together, which still conveys our overall message: DON’T SMOKE!

In a letter dated September 24, 2006, from Mom:
“Try not to worry about my health. I go for a CAT-SCAN on October 4th. I should have the results about a week later. The appointments are taking a long time, so I must not be in such dire shape, or they would rush them. I’m glad you never really had the desire to smoke. What do your lungs look like after all of those years of second-hand smoke? I can’t wait to see you and Patti more often. Gotta go for now. Love Forever, Mom”

To conclude, one can compare smoking cigarettes to a slow-motion car accident. At any time, you can get out of the car before it crashes. It is your choice. Furthermore, you may be driving your own car, but please remember that you take passengers along for the ride.

Smoking can and does kill many people every year. Why do people still smoke? Besides being the cause of lung cancer – a killer disease, smoking is also becoming more and more cost prohibitive! At $4.00 + per pack, a two pack a day habit amounts to 4 x 2 x 365 = $2,920.00 per year! Yet, the money is really secondary, the real cost is the ill effect on one’s health, and by the way, it’s not only the issue of longevity; it is also the state of your present health and well being. Smoking saps your energy and robs you of a much greater sense of well-being that could be yours if only you could quit smoking (and get some exercise).

The plan I have for kicking the smoking habit is the method that I used myself almost a decade ago – I’ve been smoke free ever since! It does not involve any drug, nicotine patch or pill and is cost free. Furthermore, I quit on the first attempt, never picked up a cigarette again, and did not gain substantial extra weight – other than two or three pounds max!

Let me state straightforwardly that I am not a doctor nor do I pretend to be one. Furthermore, the plan I will present to you is neither new nor revolutionary. Again this is simple but effective way to quit smoking forever. Other approaches, I am sure, work as well as this one. Some of them may work faster. But, the main selling point I have for my approach is this: QUIT SMOKING THE EASY WAY is the EASIEST method to quit smoking PERMANENTLY!

The basic idea behind this approach is to gradually withdraw from the smoking habit over time, thus substantially weakening the addiction to the point that it loses its stronghold over the smoker’s body and mind. It is damn hard to abruptly stop a habit of say two packs a day cold turkey. It is so difficult that many smokers who try such an approach will likely fail, and many thereupon give up, resigning themselves to the long-term dangers and ill effects of tobacco addition for the remainder of their lives.
It is a lot easier, on the other hand, to cut back gradually over time and thereby reduce habit down to 5 or 6 cigarettes a day and then to stop completely. It is the difference of quitting a two packs a day habit vs. quitting a 5 cigarette a day habit. The addiction substantially loses its stronghold over the smoker. It still remains but has become a lot weaker and therefore easier to gain control over.

THE PROGRAM

  1. The first step is the easiest: simply take note of how much you are smoking and especially note the frequency of your cigarettes. Keep a record of the time of each lite up. The basics of this method are to reduce the frequency of cigarettes by gradually increasing the time intervals between lite ups.

  2. Now take the record you’ve created and average the time between lite ups. Of course, use common sense in doing this! You are not going to add the six + hours of sleep into the average. We want an average time interval between smokes during your waking hours when you are free to lite up. This last point is important because the average will be skewed if you average in hours when you are not allowed to lite up, as for example during work. Again, the average should be during the day and evening when there are no constraints upon your smoking.

  3. Next, simply watch the clock! Keep yourself to the time interval that you have established. Do this for three days to accustom yourself to the program. Easy so far! In fact you have made a great start and have yet to reduce your smoking by a single cigarette! As easy as this is, please don’t cheat the system! If you have set the interval at 30 minutes and had to wait 2 hours to your work break to lite up, you are not allowed to smoke 4 in a row! If your interval is 30 minutes that means that from the time you put out your first cigarette to the time you lite up the next, AT LEAST 30 minutes MUST elapse!

  4. Now the hard part: withdrawing! Whatever your time interval is; increase by 20%. This may sound like a lot, but it’s really nothing! If your interval was at 30 minutes; a 20% increase puts your interval at 36 minutes. So all you have to do is hold on for another 6 minutes! Come on! How hard is that! For an interval at 1 hour the 20% increase puts you at 1 hour 12 minutes! You see the reason why many people fail in their attempts to quit smoking is that they give up. This is not rocket science, since the only time you can possible fail in this is by giving in and lighting up again. I think most people who try to quit cold turkey feel overwhelmed by it. Psychologically they think to themselves that they can NEVER have another in their lives, and that thought seems overwhelming. They gradually develop defeatist attitudes thinking that it is just to hard for them or that they are not equal to the task. My system is so much easier. You don’t have to feel overwhelmed! All you have to do at this early stage is to wait an extra 6 or 12 minutes. It’s not a lifetime! Hence, you don’t feel overwhelmed! The downside of this program is that it does take longer than quitting cold turkey, but the great advantage is that it is for easier! Once you have increased your interval stay for 10 days.

  5. By now you get the idea! Increase the interval again, by another 20%. You may find this a bit harder than the first interval increase, but essentially it s the same deal. If you interval started at 30 minutes it went to 36 minutes at the first increase. This increase brings it to 43.2 minutes. Round up to 44 minutes. Consider this: after this step you would have decreased you habit by 40%! Going from 36 minutes to lite up to 44 minutes is simply waiting an additional 8 minutes. If you are craving a cigarette by then just convince yourself to hold on just a few more minutes. Develop strategies for taking your mind off of it for that brief time. Eat a snack. As you cut back to lower levels of smoking though the method of increasing time intervals you may find it getting a bit tougher. If you do, just increase the number of days before the next interval increase. The basic method is really the important lesson; the specific timing between stages can vary. Most importantly: NEVER GIVE UP! The remainder of the program is fairly predictable: increase intervals by 20% steps – or less if you begin to find it tough going – until you are down to 5 or 6 cigarettes a day. Once you have hit that point; stay there for at least ten to 15 days. You should then be able to stop smoking completely and forever!!!

The following is an illustration of how it may work for a 2 pack a day smoker. While the key is focusing on increasing the interval between cigarettes, each % of increase in time interval should = a corresponding decrease in the amount of cigarettes smoked daily.

40 cigarettes reduced by 20% = 32

32 cigarettes reduced by 20% = 25.6 (round down) 25

25 cigarettes reduced by 20% = 20

20 cigarettes reduced by 20% = 16

16 cigarettes reduced by 20% = 12

12 cigarettes reduced by 20% = 9

9 cigarettes reduced by 20% = 7

7 cigarettes reduced by 20% = 5

Final step is to quit all together! The final step is the hardest because it is at this point that you finally commit to not smoking not just for the next interval but for the rest of your life! Yet, it ought to be a lot easier at this point than it would have been at the outset if you were to quit cold turkey. Still this is definitely the toughest point. Personally, they way I handled this is though physical exercise. This helped me a great deal to take away the last bit of craving in that crucial period. Another substitute is food or munchies. If you just eat then naturally you will gain a few pounds. Personally, I think a few extra pounds aren’t a bad trade off for what could be a killer addiction. Actually, if you eat a little more and you exercise the calories may balance out more or less.

If you spend 10 days for each step, you would be able to quit in 90 days. If you find this tough along the way you may stretch the time-line. If you stayed on each step 20 days that is still only about 180 days or so; 6 months. That still isn’t bad for the goal of staying smoke free for the rest of your life!!!! Again, this is not meant to be the fastest way to quit smoking. However, this is probably the easiest way to stop and stay stopped. I would recommend this method to anybody, but this is especially helpful for those who have already tried and failed at other methods.

Alright, so i don’t want any lectures because they’re pointless and i wont listen. Anyway, so i heard somewhere that being used to cigarette smoking, which i am, makes smoking weed easier because you will be used to inhaling smoke already. Is it true?
i don’t want to know about addiction, just a simple question: will i cough any less?

Yes, learning to inhale cigarette smoke will make it easier to inhale pot smoke. However, one should not begin smoking cigarettes as practice for weed. Definitely not worth it.

I just can’t understand why smokers find it so hard to quit smoking when it is notoriously known as unhealthy habit. And why so many youth fall victim by this vice.

Smoking seems to favor the creation of enzymes which facilitates the manufacturing of signalling molecules, like dopamine, into a part of the brain that processes information related to motivation and reward – so really smoking produces neuronal adaptations, similar to those caused by harder drugs, that make it hard for the smoker to quit (the addiction).

Add to it the social (engineering) pressures to stop smoking, which can lead some people to try smoking by curiosity or to continue in defiance in spite of the health risks, and it only makes it more difficult to quit for many smokers.

I am trying to find an effective way to quit. I have looked into electronic cigarettes and wondering if it works to quit? If so, which ones are the best brand to go with?

Hi and Happy New Year!

Some say that using electronic cigarettes can help you quit smoking. Currently there is no scientific evidence for or against it. One option is to gradually lower the level of nicotine in your cartridges to become nicotine and tobacco free.

The other option is to smoke electronic cigarettes with zero nicotine cartridges while applying nicotine patches. That way you separate addiction and habit.

I would recommend one of the five brands listed here.

All these ecigs are popular and have received good user ratings.

Now that the gov has stepped in on telling us what we can and cant do with smoking,(for our own good)how long before other things get taxed.The gov may decide that since this is the fattest nation in the world all you lard a55es should pay a tax for those dollar menue items you love so much.Or maybe you drunks who think a twelve pack after work is a good way to wind down.How about taxing that more for your own good.Everyone is quick to jump on the band wagon to take something away from somebody.Till its you they take it away from.You sheep just keep on following the herd ,the wolf will get you soon enough
im talking about the extra taxes on cigarettes i know those other items are already taxed but not to the degree that cigarettes are
For those who think the money raised from this tax is going where the gov tells you its going you probably believe that lottery money is going to education too.health care prices arent rising because of smoking its greedy doctors and corp.that own the hospitals that raise the price

I totally agree……..I smoke and am sick of getting picked on…dam it.lol
And I think that cigarettes IS where it ends.They make way too much money from it,no one can complain because smoking is bad for us smokers….therefore…we are declared to have…no argument.And no one is going to complain.
Actually….is cigarettes and gas…thats where it ends .lol
If they started taxes for say…………CHOCOLATE……..i bet there would be an entire national uprising……lol. So they use the whole cigarettes are baaadd….mmmm kayee thing to take care of the governments money addiction.Thats how they can get away with it.
Alcohol badly needs to be taxed.
