Smoke Deter - Does it Really Help you Quit? Quitting smoking really is a difficult endeavour. Nicotine is apparently as addictive as heroin, so if you are struggling to kick the habit, don’t be too harsh on yourself. So what are the best methods and aids to stop smoking? Quite obviously, the mindset is by far the most important element of a successful purge of the habit. However, I have stopped to believe in willpower for example. I have found out, and this has been confirmed by many behavioural studies, that willpower, i.e. simply applying iron will to change a habit, does not work. Various studies have shown that if willpower is applied to losing weight for example, people do indeed lose weight quickly, but only to gain it back quickly as well, when the willpower is “spent”. Many people apparently end up with more weight than before the willpower-forced diet! Now, if willpower does not work, what does? I really have come to believe what the super guru Tony Robbins teaches: we do more to avoid pain than to gain pleasure and it is the associations that we have with certain actions that drive us. So, for example, you may associate quitting with physical pain (craving) or loss of great social moments (the cigarette break with colleagues at work). With these associations quitting becomes a very hard job, one that you prefer to defer to a later point in time (after New Year’s). Does this sound familiar? In order to make quitting less painful, therefore, one should change the associations with quitting. Instead of thinking about the cravings and other losses or pain that you think you will go through, think what not quitting could mean. Not quitting could mean that you fall seriously ill, maybe you will be diagnosed with cancer, or have a heart attack. Visualise yourself having to tell your loved ones! Chilling? Good! How about another one – is your bank account never as full as you would like it to be? Think about all the money that you will be spending over the next few years! If you add up a few years, I am sure that the sum will be quite painful! My wife and I recently quit when we found out that her mother had lung cancer. Going through the shock, pain and anxiety suddenly changed our association with quitting (we had been deferring until the following New Year’s for a number of years…) and suddenly it felt painful not to quit! I am not saying here that it suddenly is an easy feat, but with a change in association, the temptation to just buy a pack and start again is essentially gone! There are a few other things that you should do or avoid, I think. For example, I always smoked a lot when going out to the pub. In the first 3 or 4 weeks after quitting, I basically stayed away from the pub, which has helped. I also started to use a homeopathic remedy called Smoke Deter, which helped with those cravings. I did not want to use nicotine patches for example, as it felt wrong to continue to you’re your body poison. Smoke Deter comes in a little bottle that you can keep in your pocket or purse. Whenever a craving creeps up, you spray some of it into your mouth. It’s taste takes some getting used to, but so does cigarette smoke if you think about your first ever drag… Since Smoke Deter is completely natural and harmless, you can use it whenever you like. I have had very good experience with homeopathic remedies in other areas (particularly sick children), which is why I really think that Smoke Deter helps to quit smoking naturally. It does not come cheap, but Smoke Deter regularly comes with a free bottle offer and also has a money-back guarantee. It’s certainly cheaper than smoking and since you can get your money back if you don’t think it helps, I would recommend that you try Smoke Deter.
