Still, I have some doubts [...]]]> It seems like a lot of people try to get rid of cigarettes by replacing them with something else containing nicotine. The most popular being patches and gums. There might be some quit smoking benefits coming with that. After all- you don’t inhale tar, carbon-monoxide, and all the other poisonous substances.

Still, I have some doubts about this whole idea. In my opinion being a smoker means being a drug addict. I might be mistaken, but it seems like a silly idea to replace one way to feed your body with the substance you are addicted to with another way to do so.

What will happen if you run out of nicotine gums or patches? As far as I know cigarettes are way more readily available than those two things. Would you not be tempted to go and buy a pack of cigarettes if the substitutes are not available?

One day we are strong and nothing could even shake our firm believe that we will never light another cigarette again, and only a [...]]]> Let’s face it – we all need stop smoking help. The process of giving up the terrible habit of filling our bodies with poisons and tar is not always an easy one.

One day we are strong and nothing could even shake our firm believe that we will never light another cigarette again, and only a day later we face that terrible monster inside of us, giving us a hundred ‘good’ reasons why we should give in, buy a pack of cigarettes, and turn ourselves once more into a perverted sort of inwardly smoked salmon.

One of the best places to find help to stop smoking is your friends and families. Ask them if they would be willing to support them. Tell them that you would love their permission to call them in your greatest hour of wavering. Rest assured, most of them won’t turn your request down.

Then, next time you are on the brink of falling back into the abyss of life full of stench and nicotine, pick up your phone, dial the number of a supporter and tell him or her how bad you feel. Very often this will be help enough; talking about what ails you can be a soothing experience in itself.

And if not: have them tell you a good reason to leave your hands off the tobacco, they will have absolutely no problem finding one – they most probably will be able to give a hundred good reasons without second thought.

So, if you need stop smoking help – don’t look too far.

Amazing Secret that Guarantees You'll Stop Smoking Today!

Gaining a better health and higher social acceptance are undoubtedly very important quitting smoking benefits. Another area where you will profit massively if you quit consuming is tobacco is money.

The price for a pack of cigarettes varies depending on where you live. In the state of Delaware, US, a pack of cigarettes is around 4 US$, in the state of Texas it is only around 5 US$. In Sweden one pack is around 7 US$. No matter where you live, however, smoking is a very expensive habit.

Studies have shown that an average smoker consumes around 20 cigarettes a day, which – for most brands and countries – translates into one pack per day. Say you live in Dover, Delaware and consume around one pack of cigarettes a day. In a week you will have spent 28 US$ on this nasty habit. In a month it sums up to 120 US$. In a year you will have wasted a whopping 1460 US$ on smoke and all you get is an endangered health, low energy levels, bad breath, and a whole in your purse … and mind you, in most places cigarettes are way more expensive than in Delaware!

Just imagine what you could do with all that money. 1460 US$ is more than a Apple MacBook costs.  It is more than most people spend on renting their apartment per month. It doesn’t take a math genius to see that having more money to spend on useful things is a one of the major quitting smoking benefits.

Oh, and in case you are in the position that you don’t have to worry about money, maybe a moral appeal might convince you: in Laos (a country in Southeast Asia), for instance, the average income per person is 400 US$ … just so you understand me correctly, that’s 400 US$ a YEAR, not a month. Ask yourself, wouldn’t it be better to quit smoking today and send the money you save to Laos to double the income of three people?

Constantly remembering the quitting smoking benefits can help tremendously when your in process of giving up the nasty habit of smoking. If you own an iPhone there are quite a few applications that might support you in motivating yourself.

While I can’t say that I used them all, out of the five applications I downloaded I found iDontSmoke (app Store Link) by far the most useful and easy to use. This application will let you keep track of goals in an easy and visually appealing manner.

To do so, you simply put down the date and time you quit smoking, how many cigarettes you smoker per day, and how much a pack of cigarettes costs in your currency (of course you only have to do this only once, and not each time you start the application).

The application will then make your quitting smoking benefits tangible by telling you not onyl how many cigarettes you haven’t smoked since you quit, but also how much time has passed and how much money you saved.

The best thing, however, is that iDontSmoke lets you define goals and keep track of them. These goals can be based on a number of cigarettes not smoked, on an amount of money saved, or on the time not smoked since you quit. The main screen will then display the next goal you are going to achieve and in a separate screen you can take a look at all your achieved and future goals.

I found this application almost invaluable when I quit smoking. Having the chance to have a very specific numeric interpretation of my quitting smoking benefits was a major motivational help I wouldn’t have wanted to miss during the harder days and weeks of quitting.
