    Question # 6:

    QUESTION # 6: HOW AND WHY DO WE RATIONALIZE SMOKING, BAD HABITS, NOT QUITTING (EVEN NOT SUCCEEDING)

    There are a lot reasons why we like or hate smoking. It is just that type of relationship. We love it. We hate it! Here are some of the less pleasant things related with smoking.

    - Appetite loss
    - Chest pain or discomfort
    - Coughing
    - Diarrhea
    - Discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen
    - Easy weariness
    - Hoarseness
    - Insomnia
    - Nausea and vomiting
    - Shortness of breath
    - Stomach pain
    - health hazards
    - Even risk of cancer, heart disease and death!

    There are also a couple of troubles for smokes. If you smoke, odds are not in your favor.
    You could have a heart attack (more likely if you smoke) or suffer from troubles with your heart in the long run. If you smoke you will dies earlier – ask yourself if you enjoy living or want to die – it really is that stark and dissimilar – black and white- that is it. Be honest with the data and yourself and then opt for what you would like to do.

    Other conditions to consider

    - Bronchitis
    - cancer of the mouth and larynx and esophagus
    - decreased sexual abilities
    - eye ailments
    - increased mortality rates for peptic ulcer patients
    - Lunch cancer
    - Other diseases or conditions linked directly to smoking.
    - premature births
    - thromboangitis obliterans
    - underweight infants at birth
    - reduced life-expectancy

    These do not deter many/us from lighting up.
    Fear is not ample of a motivator to alteration behavior/bad habits specifically. IT IS NOT ENOUGH. We rationalize and try to think ourselves out of and around it.

    Here are some more factors people try and fail or not attempt to quit at all:
    - Remove the threat or spread it out, delay it or even raise some doubt and the immediate fear is gone. If we ignore the problem it will go away. We fear that the undermine we have caused already cannot be altered or dealt with so we keep on with it. We do not want to fail either.
    - We want to be successful and win at everything – including quitting. No-one wants to admit they cannot or are having trouble with it as it makes us appear weak.

    - We only choose and bear in mind what we select to or want to.

    Constantly remind yourself of the negative effects of smoking and have the data at hand, select NOT TO ignore, deny or sweep it under the rug and then light up anyway.

    Remind yourself that NOT SMOKING is relaxing MORE than smoking itself! It sounds complex and wrong, counterintuitive but it works. Some sources emphasize the fact that of the up to 200 chemical materials NONE have a assuaging effect on your body or nervous system – IT DOES NOT HELP YOU RELAX AT ALL – we just convince ourselves that it does.

    It irritates the linings of your cells, muscus etc. , an irritant and foreign invader in your body, stirs up blood-flow and heart rate, contracts the vessels of your arteries, affecting circulation. It contributes to raised blood pressure.

    It does not steady your nerves, makes you more shaky in fact! Relaxation is the answer, NOT A CIGARETTE, the break NOT the nicotine!

    Smoking has a tranquilizing or narcotic effect , yet every aspect of what it does to the body has to do with precisely the opposite. IT has more to do with who and why , that you're doing it, MORE-so than what you're doing that makes the difference and has the ‘calming’ effect.

    The feelings of relaxation and release comes from the actions, not the nature of the action – smoking itself, it's in relaxing and taking the break itself that makes it seem easing the tension.
    When we are anxious, we are told to take a deep breath and relax – it will make us feel better. The principle is simple, yet SO POWERFUL!

    We tend to tense up and NOT feel better, less anxious after smoking. Nothing in the situation or our countenance has really modifications by or because of the smoking itself . This is what we need to comprehend and grasp to make a difference when quitting. It is up to you to find what relaxes you – not just try to obtain there by lighting up. You are just diverting, not solving.

    Concentrate on something else, rather and better than smoking to aid you obtain over the rough patches. Mind over matter you say – not that simple, but yes to an extent.

    Quitting smoking cannot make you fat, UNLESS you indulge and overeat, replacement one bad custom with another bad custom for that matter. Smoking does not aid you control your appetite, it just helps you divert your indulgence to something else (with less calories) – or so you tell yourself! All the negative materials in cigarettes will have a bad effect on the rest of your body – that much is proven fact. Even your digestive system will suffer. Even hunger is a craving. If you think of your smoking habits as something NOT IN YOUR CONTROL, outside yourself an addiction , you cannot be held responsible for the selections right?! WRONG! Smoking is a custom and you could change it. Yes there are addictive features and intricacies that can be dealt with but it's all about what you choose, why you select it and the broader problem at stake here. —Withdrawal is oftentimes made out to be much worse than it really is – it's more in the mind, than the physical body itself, that will beginning to feel better the moment you beginning quitting!

    It is never too late to stop, even and if again you have convinced yourself that the worst undermine is now done, IT NEVER IS! Smoking and the effects of it's never irreversible. You can survive a longer, healthier and happier life if you quit smoking and kick the habit.

    You can obtain rid of the coughing, hoarseness, pains in your chest, abdomen, bad taste, smells, heartburn, even indigestion. Conditioning and subliminally being brainwashed is a tougher and sometimes the toughest part to obtain rid of and break the cycle.
