When you are smoking, it is never easy to choose the appropriate method to form, its behavior, its dependence, the method that will stop calmly, limiting the risk of relapse.Every smoker is unique
One might think that there are large groups of smokers and a rapid classification would determine the method best suited to these groups. It's wrong. Every smoker is different and the way to stop smoking is not that of his neighbor or even his spouse. Moreover, it is difficult to say that one method is better than another. Dr. Peim adds however that "the emergence of nicotine replacement therapy has democratized treatments for smoking cessation because they require no prescription or specific consultation. Medicines however impose a passage to the doctor."
To determine the most appropriate method, it will take an interest in the history of smoking. Has it ever stopped, with what, how? Has it been followed by a doctor? Was he satisfied with the result? If it did not work, what is the reason? Does he start with the same method or otherwise change drastically? Choices are many factors and it will therefore analyze the situation. The patient chooses to seek medical or wean himself, he must first ask these questions and answer them in order to choose best methods to quit smoking.
Although use substitutes
Nicotine replacement therapy work very well, if properly used. Dr. Peim recalls that effective patches, pills or gums should be used at the right dosage: if the amount of nicotine is insufficient, substitutes of any kind will not have the desired effect. Second important element: the user manual must be followed to the letter: the gums, for example, are not chewing gum and sometimes you remove the patch at night.
The use of each depends on the substitute smoking and are kind of addictive. To find the right solution, do not hesitate to seek advice from their pharmacist or consult a doctor. One and the other will explain and advise the smoker the most suitable method to his case.
If the person who wants to stop smoking treatment has already decided that she wanted to use, and there is no medical indication against-there is no reason that the doctor denied. However, we must fight against preconceptions and explain that all methods are effective if properly used.
Stop abruptly or gradually
Yesterday when it was thought that only the total cessation of smoking led to success, we now know that a gradual withdrawal is possible. And again, depending on each one can choose the most suitable method.
For Dr. Peim, "It is often very anxiety provoking for a smoker to stop abruptly and that stress can spell failure. It may be appropriate to first remove the cigarette of the day. All smokers know that work how down the 25 floors of the office 10 times a day to smoke may be binding ... The use of substitutes in the day will go without cigarettes and move gradually to a complete halt. "
Whatever the method chosen, the person who decides to quit smoking is to become the main actor of his withdrawal. The right timing, the right method owns.
