Physiological Approaches to Giving Up Smoking
Alternative medicine practitioners have always known that certain natural extracts can help break the strangle-hold of any substance abuse. Modern medicine has validated some of these approaches, and has developed novel drugs as well. The habit of smoking alters the way in which your body functions so that you become dependant on nicotine in your system. Doctors from all streams of medical practice have ways to make giving up smoking easier than if you were to try it on your own.
Psychiatric Approaches to Giving Up Smoking
Much of tobacco use resides in the mind. We may not be conscious of it, but reflection on the trigger points for the urge to smoke will probably reveal that deep unhappiness, severe conflicts, and lack of self-confidence, are all forgotten or lightened, albeit temporarily when you inhale deeply on a cigarette. ‘There is nothing like a puff to calm your nerves’: reflect before you nod in agreement with that statement about how easy it would be to stop smoking if you could avoid such unbearable tension in the first place! Counseling has an important role in helping people give up tobacco.
Neurological Approaches to Giving Up Smoking
Come to think of it-how do we feel tense, or feel anything at all? What if one could locate junctions of nerves along which impulses to smoke travel, and interrupt such transmissions? Studies of how nerves are structured and their systems of communication, open several new routes to helping people overcome various kinds of substance abuse. A prime example of this is the development of low intensity lasers to help people quit smoking.
Why Not Combine All Approaches to Giving Up Smoking?
You are quite right if you have realized at this point that the various modern and classical approaches to help people stop smoking are not in contradiction with each other. Considering the bucketful of harm that the habit delivers, why not use a machine gun approach and combine some of the methods? A combination of lasers, drugs, and counseling is very likely to be the best option for you.
