1. Cold Turkey
To go at once, you have to set a date for quitting. Once the day comes, throw your cigarettes, lighters / matches, ashtrays … anything and everything that reminds you of smoking. The withdrawal symptoms are more intense using the cold turkey method.
The success rate is 10%, using data obtained from clinical trial. However, it could increase to 20% if cold turkey complemented with nicotine replacement therapy or drugs prescription to help deal with cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
2. Gradual reduction
As with the cold turkey, you also need to set a quit date of this method. The only difference is that you have to gradually reduce their cigarettes until you no longer smoke. Let's say 10 bar smoke of cigarettes a day, you can set a goal to leave in 10 days. Along the way, is reduced by 1 bar a day until the tenth day when you have to leave smoking completely. This reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms are not as strong as the cold turkey method.
3. Nicotine Replacement Therapy
With nicotine replacement therapy, the use of products such as patches, gum and inhalers. These products release small amounts of nicotine into the body, thus relieving withdrawal symptoms. Since only a small amount of nicotine is absorbed slowly into your body, these products are not addictive. The success rate is in adolescence high for smokers who use nicotine replacement therapy.
4. Prescription Medication
Prescription medicines can reduce your cravings and withdrawal symptoms. For example, the drug Chantix stops the pleasure that smokers derive from smoking at work in the same receptors in the brain that nicotine stimulates. Also works by occupying these receptors and preventing nicotine stimulates. When you're taking Chantix, do not derive much satisfaction smoking as before. Therefore, it is less likely to want to continue smoking.
5. Hypnotherapy or hypnosis
You are under hypnosis to help quit smoking. This can be done with a therapist, or audio product. Some people are known to have responded to a single session of therapy. Hypnotherapy deals with the habits and behaviors associated with smoking, and there is no need for any medication. You can also address the underlying problems of emotional smokers or people who smoke when in a foul mood. If you belong to this type of smoker, could benefit from this treatment.
