Can You Get Over Nicotine Withdrawal?

Ever felt like you are walking into a burning fire? Thats what giving up smoking may feel like. Many smokers have the attitude that it is simple when they really set their mind to it but there are issues to consider to make sure you get off on the right foot.You may experiance several side effects when you try some of the nicotine replacement therapies on the market.Usu they come in two forms, what is best for you and only you can decide but the main thing is you want to quit smoking for good!

The first is the traditional nicotine gum. You purchase these in a many different flavours as well as different dosages. This in most cases is best suited for smokers who find it comforting to do something with their mouths when that urge to smoke hits them. By chewing nicotine gum, your body gets a small dosage of nicotine that can offset the urge plus it keeps your mouth busy. This can also be used in connection with cutting back your smoking without causing any bad complications.

It is important to realize that you can control how often you need to use the gum. If you are typically a one pack a day smoker, and are trying to cut out half of the cigarettes each day you may only need to use the gum 5 times one day and 7 times the next. This gives you the flexibility to use it only when you really need it. This type of flexibility is great for those who are trying to go slowly in their quest to quit, as well as those who like to keep their mouth occupied as the urge to smoke comes. In addition, the range of flavors makes it easy to find something that almost anyone will enjoy.

The second option to consider is the traditional nicotine patch. These are typically distributed in dosages and are applied in the mornings and worn all day. This allows your body to absorb small amounts of nicotine thruout the day. Fantastic for those smokers who are attempting to quit cold turkey; however, you cannot smoke or use nicotine gum anytime you have a severe urge to smoke. This limitation forces smokers to look for alternative ways to help curb any additional urges that appear. Additionally, because the patch is applied every morning, and removed at night, it can severely limit the flexibility to slowly decrease nicotine consumption.

The patch is available in a range of dosages though, which can allow you to slowly step down, but in general you have more flexibility to adjust the range of nicotine in your body with the gum since each piece contains only a small amount of nicotine. If you would rather do just a single thing to help you curb nicotine addiction you may find that the patch is your best friend. Smokers who have extremely busy lifestyles often find them quite effective. It is extremely important to ensure you start with the appropriate patch to start with though. Many smokers make the mistake of selecting the wrong dosage, which can actually heighten the addiction to nicotine, rather than helping to decrease it.

Doug Grahame. A smoker for over 30 years and the user of all the pills and potions available to help me stop, I actually flew to mainland China to see a acupuncturist. 4 months later at a party (you know the rest). I thought I knew the reasons I smoked but it was not until I met Elliott Wald did I really understand why I was not having any success.
