Six tips should be kept in mind when men quit smoking and refuse to smoke. Now, everyone knows that smoking is harmful to human body. However, I don't know how to quit smoking. Here are six common sense that smokers should know.
1、 You know smoking is actually a disease
Smokers who are addicted to smoking are actually patients. Pathological and physiological studies have confirmed that the essence of smoking addiction is nicotine dependence, and the World Health Organization has listed it as a disease in the international classification of diseases.
2、 You can't get rid of nicotine by willpower alone
Many smokers have failed to quit smoking and attribute the reason to their weak willpower. However, as a disease, nicotine dependence cannot simply rely on willpower. Once smokers become addicted to nicotine, they need to smoke a cigarette every 30-40 minutes to maintain a stable level of nicotine in the brain. When this level is not reached, smokers will feel irritable, uncomfortable, nausea, headache and desire to supplement nicotine, which is similar to that of drug withdrawal. Therefore, only a few smokers completely quit smoking the first time, and most smokers have the experience of relapse after quitting smoking.
3、 Smoking affects health is a long-term process
Experts pointed out that smoking is a risk factor for many diseases, and tobacco can damage almost all organs of the human body. Because the health damage caused by smoking has the characteristics of long-term lag, the related diseases will appear after 10, 20 or more years of smoking, which also causes that smokers often do not realize the harm of smoking before the disease appears.
4、 Smoking may be illegal on some occasions
With the deepening of tobacco control legislation, in August 2005, the 17th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Tenth National People's Congress approved the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which requires that all parties must legislate to prevent the public from contacting tobacco and smoke, and it was fully implemented in China on January 9, 2011, which means that China will achieve a comprehensive ban on smoking in indoor public places within a few years.
5、 It's better to think about quitting than to rush into battle
When quitting smoking, you must think carefully, and never quit smoking without adequate psychological preparation. Otherwise, strong withdrawal symptoms, including physical reactions and craving for cigarettes, will be unbearable. After hesitating, he may smoke again and conclude that he can't quit smoking. This is also the reason why some people quit smoking and fail many times.
6、 Seek professional help from doctors to quit smoking
Seeking the help of professional doctors is a scientific way to quit smoking. In view of the chronic and high recurrence characteristics of smoking, doctors should also use the method of managing chronic diseases to help smokers; Without the intervention of doctors, the probability of failure is far greater than the chance of success.
