Recommended Quit-Smoking Program

Hi, I'm not a smoker myself, but my father was; and I'm sure he would have benefited by the advice in the previous post.    He had tried hard many times to quit, but was unsuccessful and I'm sure you can guess what happened to him. 

I'm so sorry that he didn't have access to the many quit smoking programs that are out there now on the internet.  There are many to choose from - in fact, I just came across this program that sounds great because of its high success rate.

If you are a smoker looking to quit, I'd highly recommend this program to you.  And I know, for a fact, that your family would love it if you could be successful in quitting smoking!

Here's the information that I found:

EasyQuit System - stop smoking program; learn how to quit smoking for good

"The EasyQuit System is probably the easiest method available to overcome all the problems normally associated with quitting smoking like cravings, weight gain, anxiety, short-temper, hunger and discomfort. The incredible success of the EasyQuit System is because it is so effective at overcoming your desire to smoke.

So, if you want to quit smoking without using "will-power" OR feeling a sense of loss OR hunger OR experiencing any unnecessary stress; then read on because I guarantee the EasyQuit System is the answer that you are looking for.

The EasyQuit System is so incredibly effective becasue it not only teaches you how you can quit smoking, it actually stops you ever wanting to smoke. It turns off your desire to smoke cigarettes! It isn't aversion therapy or hypnotism or 'Neuro-Linguistic Programming'. It is just a series of truths about the psychology of smoking that explain why you smoke and how you can overcome your habit."

I think 'turning off the desire to smoke' is the key factor in the success rate of the EasyQuit System.  Listen to this testimony:

Dear Peter,

I just wanted to thank you for your EasyQuit System book. I was a smoker for 20 years and quit 7 weeks ago right after I finished your book and I can't believe how free I feel.

I knew that I had to quit, but I was terrified of my life without cigarettes. Before I discovered your book, I tried to quit cold turkey and was a total wreck - I felt like I was saying goodbye to my best friend. Thankfully, I found your online book and read it immediately.

I just can't believe how easy it actually was to quit after I had my "epiphany" thanks to you. I guess all smokers do think alike because it felt like you wrote that book just for ME!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The EasyQuit System does come with a 60-day money back guarantee and is only $47.00 - what if this is the book that will turn you off to smoking and help you quit?  Just think of it, you'll be around for your grandchildren - that in itself is worth it.  Belive me!

Order it today, for yourself and for your kids (and grandkids). 

Thanks!

SOME ADVICE FOR THE DAY THAT YOU QUIT SMOKING

If you are not completely confident that you can resist the urge to smoke after you have quit, it may be necessary to remove any visual reminders of smoking from your living and work areas. Throw away or give away those leftover cigarettes, get rid of lighters, ashtrays, matches, and anything else that could be associated with smoking. Why should you force yourself to resist the urge to smoke when it is far simpler to just remove the reminders. If you keep a pack of cigarettes in your home or office, there is a good chance that you may pick one up. Just this one may be the cigarette that hooks you again.

COPING WITH THE SYMPTOMS OF WITHDRAWAL

Dizziness may occur during the first one or two days. Take a quick break, it will pass.

Headaches may appear at any time during the first weeks. Try to relax. Take any usual remedy for headache, a cold cloth on the back of your neck, or relieve the stress by taking a short walk.

Tiredness may occur during the first few weeks, but if you meditate or relax during the first few weeks, it will pass.

Coughing may actually increase during the first few days, simply because the residue from the smoke has not been flushed from your system.

Tightness in the chest may occur in the first few days. Rest and take deep breaths, it will go away.

Sleeping problems may occur in the first few days. Try to stay away from drinks that have a high caffeine content, try not to exercise too strenuously in the hours prior to bedtime. A hot bath prior to retiring at night may also be helpful.

Constipation may occur in the first month after you quit. If this occurs, eat foods with a high fiber content, drink plenty of fluids, and do some light exercise.

Concentration may tend to wander during the first few weeks. Be ready for this, take a break or do something physical for a short period of time.

The following pages will give you an example form to chart your progress as you begin to give up cigarettes. They are all self explanatory and should prove to be a tremendous asset in assisting you to give up your habit. On a daily basis, chart each cigarette that you smoke during the day. Enter the time, place, and with whom you smoked, the reason for smoking, whether it will be easy or difficult to give that one up, and the weapon that you will use to fight the urge to smoke that one.
