Quit Smoking: The 10 Step Plan – Introduction
Sian Welby talks to Dr Chris Steele about the addictive and harmful effects of nicotine. Dr Chris explains that nicotine is, milligram for milligram, more addictive than heroin and cocaine. Within 7 seconds of drawing on a cigarette the nicotine will be acting on the brain. This is why it can be so hard to quit. One in two of all smokers will be killed by it. It is the most dangerous consumer product available on the market. Nicotine itself is not dangerous, but when you smoke you breath in more than 4000 other chemicals – this is what makes it lethal. With smoking still growing among your girls, there is a big health issue here. Although the smoking ban is helping, the enduring appeal of the “cool” look associated with cigarettes makes them attractive to young people. But there is help. Nicotine replacement treatments can remove the craving for cigarettes, without damaging your health. Also available on prescription are treatments such as Zyban and Champix.

I quit smoking 6 months ago, but I thinkt my comment 7 months ago is very funny.
@Branvie so you dont get lung cancer and die at 40. Or enphezema. i didnt realize people were this stupid…
3. Swim laps at a pool. I felt so clean, refreshed and aerobically fit after swimming that the thought of smoking turned me off.
4. If you fail and have a smoke, don’t punish yourself. Enjoy it and then get right back up on the horse and quit again.
I smoked a pack a day for 17 years. I quit 26 years ago. You can do it, good luck.
1. Count each day the number of cigarettes you didn’t smoke. 20 victories a day is quite an accomplishement, especially the first few days.
2. Get a “cigarette substitute” to “puff” on if the cravings get large. Back when I quit smoking, I used the top of the old Flair pens. They had holes which allowed you to puff. And don’t worry what others think, its for your health.
