Quit smoking with us:

Many smokers after myocardial infarction face such situation: they tell me that I need to stop smoking.
Indeed, smoking significantly increases the risk of myocardial infarction. Moreover, the nicotine in cigarettes is a factor that inhibits the action of certain drugs, which are of extreme importance for the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy.
There is no, unfortunately, one effective way to break the habit, which would be automatically effective in all cases.
Listed below you will find some comments that may be useful to you:
1.If you have to quit smoking, do it now, after myocardial infarction. This is the best moment. For many people the break in smoking in hospital, is the first break of the habit. If you've gone through that days and you did not feel up to smoke - do not do it when you come back home. It's a great opportunity to finally break the habit. How to do it – follow that steps:
a) Throw a pack of cigarettes in the trash in the hospital,
b) Tell loudly to yourself and other people that you've just stopped smoking.
c) Take a deep breath and think how nice is to never again draw the slurry into the lungs of tobacco.

 

2.You decide if you light a cigarette, not a cigarette. Ask yourself, who is the boss.

 

3.Answer the question of the importance of smoking for you, why you smoked? Sometimes smoking is a way of loosening up. Then you should look for a new way. It happens that smoking is kind of stress reliever. This is not the best way. If the problem is the emotional stress, you should consult a psychologist. Many people can not cope with the problems of life and it is not a sign of weakness or illness.

4.Myth: Quiting smoking causes gaining weight. This is true in 1 / 3 of cases and is partialy caused by excesive consumption of calories that fullfill time of non-smoking. Just stop smoking restores the flavor of the food, so you'll need just a little tame your appetite.

5.Economy: Smoking cessation is the cessation of funding tobacco companies. Hurray !!!... But this is the beginning of sponsoring pharmaceutical companies. Buuuu! Thus, it may be postponed for a "sponsorship". Let assume you smoke 50$ a month. Druags may cost less so still you will save money.
