hello there, thanks for the quiery at hcm..Nicotine Replacement Therapy:use of nicotine patches, gums and sprays that provide low doses of nicotine to the blood of user.
Medicines:Prescribed medicines are available that reduces one's cravings to smoke. Alternative Therapies:like acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, and meditation. Herbs like Garcinia cambogia, lobelia, and the Korean ginseng that provide us a natural way to quit smoking. They help to deal with the withdrawal symptoms and reduces the urge to smoke. Hypnotherapy.Will Power: the best way to quit smoking is to have the will power to do so. Mix a little bit of will power and patience. If man could reach the moon and fly like a bird in the sky, why can't one give up smoking? 1. Make an honest list of all the things you like about smoking. 2. Then make another list of why quitting won’t be easy. 3. Set a quit date and write a “quit date contract” that includes your signature and that of a supportive witness.4. Write all your reasons for quitting on an index card and keep it near you at all times. 5. As you’re getting ready to quit, stop buying cartons of cigarettes. hope, this helps because quitting smoking is so hard.
