To quit smoking is easy...!

...but you want to know 3 reasons why people fail?

1. Habit

2. Nicotine Addiction

3. Smoking substitutes don't seem to work

Habit
If you want to stop smoking, you have to change your lifestyle and what you do each time that craving kicks in. You know, when you stop for a coffee and reach out for the complementary cigarette that goes with it. Yeah, it is a little harder now because you can't smoke in the office, or indoors in a restaurant or cafe etc. You're exiled to the outside seating or designated smoking area... so you get conditioned to forming another habit and it becomes a social thing to go together for that cigarette.

There's also that sensation of having a cigarette between your fingers and putting it to your mouth. Your body works on auto-pilot and thinks something is missing when you are not holding that cig or putting it to your lips - it's almost like muscle memory - your body seems to have a memory and will of its own - it's all down to your auto-pilot subconscious. There's a whole lot of conditioning to undo before you can convince your body to change its habit.

Nicotine Addiction
It's not only the nicotine in the cigarettes, it's the chemicals the tobacco manufacturers put into them that also promote the addiction, so that people "prefer" a particular brand of cigarette - they're addicted to the taste, not just the nicotine!

Smoking substitutes
There are a lot of smoking substitutes, patches, fake cigarettes etc. But why don't they work? If you look a bit closer at the other two reasons, you will get to see the obvious...

They don't look, taste or feel like a real cigarette!!

New Developments In Smoking Aids - The e Cig

Now, many stop smoking promotions have come up with the electronic cigarette, or e cig for short. But which one is the best? Here are some questions you need to get answered:

Can you buy an e cig substitute that works at a fraction of the money you pay out each month by smoking?

Does this electronic cigarette look, feel and taste like a real cigarette?

Does it taste anything like your favorite brand of cigarette?

Get positive answers to these questions and give them a try. Can you imagine what it will be like to be able to "smoke" again indoors, without the smell, without the coughing, without emptying your wallet?

I think e cigs are a great way forward to get rid of all the nasty side effects of smoking, and at the same time, still satisfy the bodily cravings until you programme that auto-pilot inside you to not need them at all!
