well,it is a difficult question to answer.before saying anything i must declare with dignity that i am still an ex smoker.and talking about quitting smoking,take the example of me.when i first decided to stop smoking it felt like hell.even i thought its impossible to live without smoking.but decided to stop smoking because i felt some pain just below my left upper abdominal area.there is no option to continue smoking because if i am smoking i am going to die.so i sticked to the decision of quiting smoking.and that is the most important decision i took in my whole life.making this decision when you are passing through the second week of quitting smoking is the most challenging work for your brain,because at that time nicotine totally controls your Brain every decision you make have overcome the control of nicotine over your head.when you stop smoking,the nicotine receptors that created during the whole time you inhaled cigarette,start protesting inside your brain creating headache,restlessness,impatience and most importantly interfering with the power of decision making of your brain and forcing it to think positively towards nicotine.
so when you decide to quit smoking you have to keep in mind that nicotine have already created disorders in your brain.just after few days of quitting your brain also try o fool you,under the effect of nicotine.at that time you have to take the control of your brain from the nicotine to yourself.you have to know that at that time you have to live with two brains.

1. one side of brain which are under the control of nicotine and will force you to think positively towards nicotine.sometimes you will get the feeling that one more cigarette will not do any more damage,i will die if i will not smoke etc.at this time you have to use the other brain you have.
2. this is the other side of brain which is under your control.you have to use this brain extensively to defeat the nicotine monster from your brain.

if you are able to differentiate between these two side of your brain then no one can stop you from quitting smoking.
when i stopped smoking the first three weeks are the most painful weeks of my whole life.i am telling you After these three weeks everything will come to normal.now i am feeling like a normal person without any withdrawal effect.i never thought that things will go so normal.but you have to at least wait two months to feel like this.before this period if you will fail then no one can save you.all you have to do is to take a rock solid decision to quit.i am telling you many aspects may come in your way when you will think to go back to your addiction.the good news is my looks also changed a lot after i quit smoking.

if nothing wrong happened with you then this post may be a blessing for you to take the precious decision of quiting cigarette because if once you will feel any type of illness due to smoking then you will feel guilty of making an bad habit.this way you will accumulate much more pressure on your brain which will only worsen your condition.i am writing this because i don't want anyone to suffer from the same kind of problems that i suffered due to smoking.when i realised about my fault i thought why no body explained me about the bad effects of smoking!!!that's why i am giving you the information its your choice its your life.you have the power to save your body's metabolism process from being spoiled by the effects of nicotine.

coming to the topic as i said above "quit smoking"very easy if you will manage to get rid of the first two months.after that the effect will gradually decrease.after that you will hardly notice that you were a smoker.believe me its true.i am also a victim of this nicotine monster.i will never tell a lie to you because i know how much truth and support we smokers want to stop smoking.

when this part is over and you will feel like a non smoker then you will get rid of the irritation in your life for leaving your best habit behind.a new type of problem may arise.its not physical its purely mental.i am not sure this will happen with every one or not.and i am ready to listen from the readers what are their experience.you may feel that your power of thinking have changed a bit or you may feel some kind of change in your mental ability.about this i am not sure.so we will find it from different readers of this post.please do post your comments about this so that every one will know the truth.

first of all i would like to introduce myself to you.
my name is xyz and i am 22 years old.
i was used to smoke 6 to 7 cigarettes a day for the last 3 years.for the last 50 days i didn't touch a cigarette.
it is only possible because i have strong will power that i will never touch a cigarette.
it all depends on your mind,so if your decision is strong enough then only you can quit smoking.
everyone in this world can quit smoking because i have done it.

Main points to keep in mind to quit smoking:

• develop a positive thought.never let your mind to think negative.suppose you just thought that the writer was a light smoker so he was success.it is the not the work of your healthy mind,this thought is due to nicotine receptor present in your brain.learn to win over these type of thoughts you will definitely win.
• don't try to keep it secret that you are fighting against nicotine,because your behavior in these days will not be normal.don't panic.it means nothing serious but you will behave like an angry lion.because your body will not getting on which it is dependent for many days even for years.
• always keep different options to make your mind busy when you will get carving for nicotine or cigarette.when your mind will think about cigarette then try playing games on a ps2 or try cycling with high speed or just walk where ever you can walk.
• always keep in mind that this will go away after some days.for me it was just for 15 to 20 days.
• i also had physical discomfort like excessive sweating from palm of hand and legs,headache,racing heartbeat,excess gas,acidity,dizzy eyes,impatient.first i thought i got some disease but when i searched the Internet it was found to be nicotine withdrawal syndrome.but the best option is to consult a good doctor when you will get these symptoms.

• have a place ready where you can run speedily when heavy need for nicotine will strike you.

these are the most common points to remember while you are quitting smoking.we will discuss more details below about the whole quit smoking process what i have learned from the Internet.

Is it easy to quit smoking?

Well,this is a tough question to answer.neither we can say its easy nor we can say its difficult.because quitting smoking is a physical as well as mental task.the first two or three weeks are the most difficult time.when you will pass through this time then you will not face any problem afterwards.but as from my experience its little bit difficult but it should be kept in mind that no body going to die without smoking,while you are avoiding a very addictive dangerous chemical "nicotine'.
my experience when i quit smoking the first three weeks are the most difficult from which the first week was not so difficult.when my body found after a week,of my quitting smoking,that i am no longer supplying nicotine to my body then the protest of my mind and body started.i felt like i am not breathing naturally for that reason i have to take breath more deeply between few minutes of interval.i felt that my heartbeat is faster than normal that means faster than 72 beats per minute.the most difficult time was after taking my lunch.i had a bad habit of smoking one cigarette after lunch.everyday after my lunch when i tried to relax i felt like choking as if my heart will stop if i will not go outside or not do any physical activity.that's why i started walking everyday after my lunch.i walked the whole area around my house especially near women's college to divert my attention towards the girls who are the most effective element in the world to take my attention towards them. while walking my palms of hand and leg are full of sweat that my sandal was completely muddy.
Another aspect which threw me in trouble after smoking quit was the hunger.i felt like i am a monster and will eat the whole world in a few days.at that time a drank lot of apple shakes and dosas(a traditional Indian food equivalent to full bowel of pasta).in this situation i eat double the amount i eat everyday before quitting smoking.the best way to get away of this troublesome situation is to drink as much as water you can drink.i am not just telling lots of water i am telling that as much as you can drink without dying.yes whenever you will feel uncomfortable you have to drink half to a liter water.i did the same and i felt it very useful as it helped me to flush out the nicotine out of my body and also helped me from escaping that monstrous hunger that followed me during that period.sometimes i felt extremely bad to have a single cigarette,at that time there is a big play ground of an university,i went there and started running to get out of that urge to smoke.i am telling you i did this two or three times.but now i can not explain you how happy and better i m feeling after staying smoke free for so many days.
