Smoking Ban Looms Closer In England & NRT
The smoking ban in England is now only 48 days away and many businesses, especially in the drinks and catering industry are preparing for the new legislation. Which ranges from implementing the ban to displaying no smoking signs.
This makes it harder for smokers to find places to smoke and will also help those who want to stop. But for those who do want to stop, they face a daunting task. With NRT being promoted as the best and only solution buy websites doctors and advertising. Despite the fact that after one year since starting a course of NRT most smokers return to smoking.
What is even more suprising is that anti smoking groups recommend NRT - despite the fact that they know NRT has a very small success rate. It seems that no-one realises, or won't admit, that there is no point in using NRT when you quit smoking.
NRT merely provides your body with more nicotine - the one substance you are trying to remove from your body. Herion addicts are not given more heroin in another form - they are given alternatives. The weaning process of NRT makes your quit worse by delaying the time it takes to remove nicotine from your system - sometimes by up to one year!
The best and only way to quit smoking is to stop the supply of nicotine - or go cold turkey as it has now become known. This is the easy part - it's the NOT starting to smoke again that causes smokers problems. So you need to find and remove the things that make you smoke.
The prevention of nicotine withdrawal symptoms, cravings, desire to smoke again, weight gain and relapse is then most important thing to do. Finding proven and tested methods to do these things is of utmost importance if your quit is to be successful.
NRT just prolongs the amount of time it takes to remove nicotine from your system (72 hrs if you go cold turkey), it costs you a lot of money and it does nothing to prevent you from relapsing.
