Do you really want to quit smoking? Many people who think they want to quit don't want to as they simply enjoy smoking too much but it's easy to quit if you want to.

We live in a society where we all crave help and support when we don't need it, things that are easy are presented as difficult and there not.

Smoking cold turkey

If you want to give up this is the short sharp shock method.

Irritability, difficulty concentrating, stress, fatigue, and nausea the feelings are intense, but only for three or four days.

The symptoms then get less as Nicotine is removed from the body and after about a month they cease altogether.

So you have discomfort for a few weeks, but it's not that hard to give up and the real pain is only for a few days. So why cant most people do it?

The REAL Problem

The problem is many people who think they want to give up don't really, they enjoy smoking to much and it's that not the actual process of giving up that's hard, it's the fact they enjoy the pleasure of smoking to much and don't really want to give up.

Fact is Nicotine is enjoyable and makes us feel good.

Nicotine is known to switch on receptors in parts of the brain, causing them to release the Neuro-transmitter dopamine, a chemical that is associated with feelings of pleasure.

In addition nicotine is known to help concentration ( check how many smokers have a cigarette before an important business meeting or exam) and research into diseases such as:

Depression, Schizophrenia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's indicate they help with the symptoms by balancing the neurotransmitters in the brain to improve mood, memory and ability to focus.

Nicotine Without smoking

Many people enjoy nicotine and the feelings it gives and many people who have the above diseases can benefit from it.

On going research into nicotine

The solution is to deliver nicotine without the harmful affects of cigarette smoking.

Major research is being undertaken by drug companies to create a drug that has the ability to deliver nicotine for health purposes in pure organic form.

Nicotine does not cause disease or death

By itself Nicotine does not cause cancer or disease, it has a bad reputation because it is consumed in cigarette smoking, but it is one of 4,000 chemicals and it is some of the others which cause disease or death.

In its pure form nicotine is safe and non toxic and is part of the natural food chain and billions of people take it everyday who don't smoke in common foods such as potatoes, tomatoes chilli and even some teas.

A lot of research is being carried out to deliver nicotine in its pure form for its health properties and several products are due to enter the market in the near future.

Water the safest delivery method

An interesting way of getting nicotine in pure organic form is to drink it in water and several companies have looked at this method not to hemp people quit smoking but simply to relieve nicotine cravings when smoking bans are in force and products are already on the market.
