It’s Easier to Quit Smoking than the “Experts” Think! The addictiveness of nicotine is a big myth

I don’t say this to annoy smokers who HAVE experienced difficulty quitting smoking. Because difficulty quitting smoking and addiction to nicotine are two different things.

“nicotine is as addictive than heroin or crack cocaine”

What utter rubbish!!! It is so SO simple to disprove:

In chemists throughout the western world, you can now buy PURE nicotine in ready-to-inhale form (called Inhalators in the UK). Now are you seriously telling me that if you could get whatever the active ingredients in crack are… in this form, that you wouldn’t be having thousands of people queueing up for it?

So, the tobacco companies paid out for nothing. Oh well.

Anyway, withdrawal symptom studies show that you get withdrawal symptoms from placebo. That is, the more likely you believe you’ll get withdrawal symptoms, the more likely you’ll get them in reality.

So be prepared for bad withdrawal symptoms (ie reduce your stress levels etc), yet expect your body to make it easy for you.

“NRT doubles your chances of quitting”

Companies that sell NRT repeat this message over and over again. What they don’t tell you is that

1. the difference is only 6% after 3 months, which could be easily accounted for by placebo.
2. after 6 months, the difference diminishes to zero. Obviously, your body and mind have fully recovered from the nicotine addiction by this time.

The most powerful predictor of success is self-motivation, which makes something like a 20% difference. You have to want to quit.

So how do you actually quit?

Everyone thinks they know what quitting is, but can you tell me exactly what you need to do to quit? What actual behaviour constitutes quitting?

Who was it that said “I give up smoking every day?” Very true.

The crucial element is that you have a separate states of mind for when you give up and when you start smoking again (if you know NLP, you can simply collapse the two and future pace).

Decisions you make in one state of mind don’t necessarily carry over into another.

Therefore, you need to physically rehearse the decision you want to make in the situations where you would otherwise have smoked.

1. Smoke half a cigarette. Stop. Look at it. Realise you don’t want to smoke any more (more on how to do this later*). 2. Smoke one puff of a new cigarette. Repeat as above. 3. Light a cigarette and be about to inhale. Repeat as above. 4. Be about to light a cigarette… … N. Be about to buy cigarettes in the supermarket.

etc.

In other words, you are going backwards through the previously habitual smoking ritual. Keep doing it for everything that used to be part of your smoking ritual or made you want to smoke.

OK. Now before you can do this, you have to rehearse the decision to not smoke any more*. This is basically the state of mind for when you give up. Whether it be determination, pride etc that makes you feel you’ll never want to smoke again.

So each time you go through the ritual, you end it with the conviction that you’ll never smoke again.
