			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style='italic;' class='smokebyline'>by Randy Shafer</div>
<p>The revolutionary device known as the electronic cigarette is becoming more popular by the day and is generating serious discussion throughout the world. The problem with those discussion is that not everybody taking part are well enough informed as the product is so new. In fact even the relevant authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration are confused as to what to do regarding these devices &#8221; not fully sure whether to accept them or ban them. </p>
<p>Views differ as to whether this product is a device designed to help persons quit smoking or just another smoking alternative. From my research, I have found evidence to suggest that electronic cigarettes can function as both because they have features that can help quitters and continuing smokers. </p>
<p>So can the limited information available tell us whether the electronic cigarette is a less harmful alternative for smoking a regular cigarette? The answer lies in its features. The regular cigarette is famous for its tobacco, tobacco smoke and nicotine content, which when combined are very potent and can cause a host of harmful diseases (such as throat and lung cancer) which can, and often do, lead to death. </p>
<p>No tobacco can be found in the electronic cigarette, a fact which obviously reduces total health risk considerably. In turn, it emits no tobacco smoke, so those dangers are also avoided. </p>
<p>The exclusion of tobacco and tobacco smoke from the electronic cigarette also means that there will be no second-hand smoke and therefore none of its dangers. Second-hand smoke is actually proven to be more dangerous to those exposed to it than first-hand smoke itself. The reason for this is that the particles in second-hand smoke are considerably smaller and so create more damage as they have the ability to reach deeper in the lungs. </p>
<p>As a replacement for of smoke, the electronic cigarette emanates a vapour when puff is taken which does not smell bad, does not stain teeth and is not proven to be generally unsafe at all. The relative safety is not a sure thing though, as some scientists are of the opinion that experiments might find a long-term damage prospective in the vapour. Nicotine can be found in the electronic cigarette though. Even so, it affords the user the option of choosing the level of nicotine </p>
<p>By and large, it appears as though the electronic cigarette might be a first-rate product. There is no undeniable substantiation over many of its producers assertions but the accessible evidence suggests that it might arguably be a good buy.</p>

<p>Prior to beginning a stop smoking program, quitters should first find out why they would like to stop smoking in the first place. This assists them by keeping their objective in mind. Then, a timeframe should be set by which they want to have stopped smoking completely. A helpful method is if a smoker usually smokes more during the week, a weekend is a good time to start stop smoking programs, and vice versa.</p>
<p>A person trying to quit smoking normally faces many challenges. One of the things to consider is what to do if a spouse continues to smoke while you are trying to quit. You must think about how to manage situations when you would normally smoke. Don&#8217;t be hesitant to tell your family and friends about your plans to quit smoking so that they can encourage your efforts.</p>
<p>When someone makes the decision to quit smoking it would be beneficial for them to check out nicotine medication. Such medication gives smokers a way to gradually ease off nicotine that is much less concentrated than that found in cigarettes. Smoking cessation aids can be quite effective. In fact, nicotine medication is recommended by the American Lung Association as a treatment for kicking the habit. Usually, these types of medication require a prescription by a doctor. But people who want to quit smoking should consider all their options and do their research about nicotine gums and patches.</p>
<p>Once an individual stops smoking, they will usually go through a nicotine withdrawal period. During this time, they may face difficulties such as headaches, cravings, anxiety, and nervousness. This is a normal part of the process and most stop smoking programs help the quitter ease though this period.</p>
<p>Problems associated with nicotine withdrawal can be helped with the aide of nicotine medication or nicotine gum. But a smoker who wants to quit smoking should completely avoid smoking, not even just one cigarette, while undergoing stop smoking programs. Friends and family can also be a huge source of support.</p>
<p>Many people who try to quit smoking make two or three attempts and if they are not successful tend to get discouraged. Though quitting smoking is not easy and may require more effort on your part, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that if you can&#8217;t quit initially you can&#8217;t quit at all. One needs to be dedicated and focused towards quitting smoking. Trying different stop smoking programs each time is a good idea. For example, if you tried quitting the first time using nicotine gum, then the second time you should try the patch. Being dedicated to quitting and having a real desire to quit is the most important factor, though.</p>
<p>There are many stop smoking programs that can make it easier for you to quit smoking. The best programs are usually the ones involving nicotine gum, patches, or medication. But of course the most important thing to remember when trying to quit smoking is that you need to be dedicated toward your ultimate goal.</p>

<p>There are many reasons that you should quit smoking. While everyone knows that smoking is bad for your health it can be difficult to quit smoking. Most smokers don&#8217;t know how to go about quitting. You can try many things to help you try to stop smoking such as using a nicotine patch, chewing nicotine gum, taking prescription medication or going under hypnosis. It is apparent that different things may work well for some people while other things work better for other people. </p>
<p>It is important to know that smoking is an addiction. There are both physical and psychological addiction symptoms involved with smoking. The physical part of smoking is nicotine. The physical addiction to nicotine takes about three days to get over once you stop smoking. After that the rest of the problem is psychological. The best way to stop smoking is to find the secret that will help you quit. Many people smoke as a way to relieve stress. </p>
<p>Smoking is most often attached to feelings of stress and anxiety. Ask any smoker and they will tell you that they usually smoke more when they are stressed out. Whenever stress or anxiety levels go up people who smoke reach for another cigarette. There is justification in smoking to relieve stress because for most smokers it seems to work. People need to learn new and better ways to relieve stress and relax rather than smoking. </p>
<p>The reason that many smokers fail when they try to quit is that they suddenly learn just how difficult it is. There is always an expectation that it is hard to quit smoking because that is what people say. Sometimes people try to quit a few times before they can actually stop smoking for good. Those who are successful are the ones who are prepared to fill the empty areas that are left when smoking if no longer an option. </p>
<p>To stop smoking it is helpful to first learn why you smoked to begin with. Once you know that you can start to help yourself find things to do that will take the place of smoking. All smokers realize that smoking is not good for your health but you may just not be able to stop on your own. Smoking is a habit and as with any habit it needs to be &#8220;unlearned&#8221;. Habits form as quickly as three weeks and the longer you continue to smoke the more you are reinforcing the habit. </p>
<p>All habits including smoking are hard to break because there is a very real psychological need to continue. Smokers use cigarettes to help them through rough times in their lives. This may help them rationalize their continued smoking. When you are ready to quit smoking you need the help of someone who understands what it takes to quit and can provide you with all the tools you need to get you through.</p>
