Read on to discover 3 simple but effective ways to stop smoking that no one hardly ever talks about.

1.) Sticky Notes – Having a constant reminder around the house is a great way to overcome the urges to smoke. How inspiring would it be to have sticky notes in your bathroom, on your refrigerator and in your car that reinforce your most beloved quotes and affirmations with the health benefit you will feel now that you are a non smoker. Notice that the saying in your sticky notes should be in present tense.

2.) Doing Something New – So you may be thinking that you life is already complicated, and the last thing you can fit into your busy schedule is a new hobby of some sort. Fret not. If you cannot take up something new. Try your best to reinvent your life. Redecorate your house/apartment, take a new route to work. The point is to disassociate yourself from your old habit by discontinuing your old patterns. Make everything fresh and new and have it represent your new found freedom from cigarettes.

3.) Support – Do you know of the great success coach Mr. Brian Tracy? If not, he talks about what he calls the ‘reference group’. To sum it up, you and your five closest friends. And if someone wanted to know everything about you, they would simply look at the habits and social-economical status of your 4 or 5 closest friends. From that data, they can sum up the practices of your life. With that being said, it is vital that you surround yourself with friends and people that will support your efforts to quit and take it seriously. The last thing you want is your friends to lighting up a cigarette right next to you, and making comments that suppose you are relying on some pipe dream to quit smoking.

Most studies and research show that smoking can kill. This fearful knowledge makes responsible parents anxious that their children should not acquire this habit, which can lead to dangerous addiction. Many addicts begin their smoking as adolescents and the recent increase in adolescent smoking has been attributed to a number of factors.

Factors That Influence Adolescent Smoking

Most people agree that the two leading factors that influence dysfunctional teenage behavior, such as smoking and violence, are poor role models and peer pressure. Peer pressure can be extremely difficult for young people to handle because they are at the age where they have a deep need to fit in and to be noticed by people their age.

There are several ways for parents to guide children and one of these ways, free and open communication between parents and child, is a valuable tool to influence children to avoid smoking. Confidence grows stronger when children feel comfortable opening up freely to their parents.

The style of communication is also very important. It should be one of mutual respect, rather than the parents talking down to their children, making them feel inferior. Parents need to make a conscious effort to resist talking down to their children. By doing so, they can avoid provoking their children to rebel. This tendency towards rebellion can become quite strong during the teenage years.

Parents ought to discuss with and explain to their adolescent children about smoking and make sure that they know the facts, as well as the dangerous hazards and destructive effects that smoking has on the human body.

Although this awareness may seem unpleasant and parents may want to shield their children from unpleasantness, it is in their children’s best interest in order for them to be able to make informed choices regarding either smoking and sickness, or not smoking and health.

Sports and other outdoor activities promote health and strength and can do so much to divert the adolescents’ minds from smoking, as can fun activities with their families and close friends. These things leave little time for experimenting with smoking, and together with confidence-building support can help prevent the adolescent become vulnerable to peer pressure.

Growing children, adolescents and young adults are particularly susceptible to sicknesses and impeded physical and mental development caused by smoking, and parents need to take an active role in strongly discouraging their children from engaging in adolescent smoking.

Here is a fact that may or may not be shocking to you. About every 13 seconds, a person dies as a result of smoking cigarettes. The question lies not in how dangerous smoking is to your heath. But it becomes the question of “What is the best and most effective way to stop smoking for good?”

I’m no scientist, or economist, but what I have realized in my journey to stop smoking, is that many methods that claim to help us stop smoking are being driven by capital gain, thus setting us up for failure.

I have tried everything from the patch to nicotine replacements and gum’s, you name it, I have tried it. And I realized myself buying more and more of these replacements, spending just as much money as I did when buying a pack a day.

The method that I personally believe to be the best to stop smoking is hypnosis to stop smoking. Hypnosis is not some hokey poky pipe dream to quick smoking, it is based on going to the heart of the matter and delivering your subconscious mind from the idea that you are a smoker.

The reason hypnosis is such a powerful method to give up smoking, along with any other addictions, is because it penetrates the conscious, and goes into the subconscious mind in a way that we humans cannot actively access, and destroys the initial desire to smoke.

This method is not only the most natural way to quit smoking, but it is extremely more affordable than other methods that will leave your pockets dry.
