Whether it is for yourself, your family, finances, whatever the reason you want to stop smoking. Cigarette smoking has been a habit and day by day you are feeling it's effects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tar and other smoking chemicals are swarming your insides and your lungs are feeling heavier day by day as you wheeze and cough heavily. You struggle just walking up the stairs at times and heavy breathing is the norm. Are you suffering from emphysema? You may be on the path to lung or heart failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe your body is following the path of heart disease or stroke? Maybe the smoking is causing your blood vessels to block as fat deposits narrow. Maybe you will develop throat cancer? Maybe your limbs may need to get amputated due to the slowing of blood flow to your feet and hands. Maybe this, maybe that but one thing is for sure, if non-smokers are walking towards death, you are running towards it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking to stop cigarette smoking for good, it may be the best decision you have made in your life! Smoking does not spare anyone. If you do manage to survive until your 80th birthday and have been smoking all your life then you are an exception, for the rest of us the likelihood is quite slim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 class="module_title"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Quitting smoking can be easier than you think &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;            &lt;div class="write_module"&gt; &lt;img id="moduleImage42370602" src="http://static.squidoo.com/resize/squidoo_images/250/draft_lens5536252module42370602photo_1245921694in_the_mind.gif" class="write_image" /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to stop cigarette smoking for good there are proven techniques that can help you kick the habit. &lt;/span&gt;Using Hypnotherapy &lt;span&gt;or NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) you will find it incredibly easy to become and remain a happy, confident non-smoker for life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a smoker we consciously want to give up. Our conscience tells us that our health is deteriorating. We are wasting more money and our lives on cigarette smoking. We need to give up for the many reasons we have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What NLP and hypnotherapy targets is your unconscious mind. Due to years of smoking our unconscious mind tells us that we cannot quit. We have been smoking for years. We are addicted to smoking, how can we quit now? It is your unconscious mind that tells you that smoking will make you feel better, more relaxed, less stressed etc.  &lt;/div&gt;                 &lt;!--/module--&gt;                 &lt;div class="module textmodule" id="module42377052"&gt; &lt;span id="mod_head_right_42377052" class="mod_head_right" style="display: none;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                     &lt;h2 class="module_title"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;How will Hypnotherapy and NLP help me stop smoking? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;            &lt;div class="write_module"&gt; &lt;img id="moduleImage42377052" src="http://static.squidoo.com/resize/squidoo_images/250/draft_lens5536252module42377052photo_1245941628Green_Question_mark.jpg" class="write_image" /&gt;By training your unconscious mind. Hypnotherapy and NLP retrain your false beliefs of how hard it is to quit smoking and the pleasures you perceive to be getting from smoking. Does smoking really make you feel better? Does it really make you feel relaxed, even though every time you smoke your blood pressure rises? What if you were to transfer those same unconscious feelings to a more healthy habit or activity?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you do stop cigarette smoking&lt;span&gt; instead of feeling the mood swings, irritability and cravings you will feel a sense of relaxation, &lt;span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 153, 0); text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14;" class="IL_LINK_STYLE"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;self confidence&lt;span&gt; and happiness.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;!--/module--&gt;                  &lt;span id="mod_head_right_42370632" class="mod_head_right" style="display: none;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                     &lt;h2 class="module_title"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Stop smoking today and live the full life you want &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;            &lt;div class="youtube_full"&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width: 300px; height: 247px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/3dXnXvSdPEM"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="opaque"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3dXnXvSdPEM"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;   &lt;h3&gt; &lt;span id="mod_head_right_42370632" class="mod_head_right" style="display: none;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Think about the benefits of not smoking. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;                                       &lt;div id="info" style="display: none;"&gt;         &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/stop-cigarette-smoking#" class="hideLink" onclick="setDisplay('info', 'none'); return false;"&gt;Close&lt;/a&gt;               &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--/module--&gt;                          &lt;!--/module--&gt;                                                    &lt;img id="moduleImage42421012" src="http://static.squidoo.com/resize/squidoo_images/250/draft_lens5536252module42421012photo_1245942831healthy_life.jpg" class="write_image" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have heard it before, but I will repeat it again you will hopefully live longer for yourself, your family and friends.&lt;br /&gt;You will avoid lung, throat and other smoking related cancers&lt;br /&gt;You will avoid heart related diseases linked to smoking&lt;br /&gt;You will avoid pregnancy complications due to smoking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;You will avoid &lt;span style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(0, 153, 0); text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:14;" class="IL_LINK_STYLE"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;respiratory illnesses&lt;span&gt; associated with smoking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will allow your family and kids not to breathe second hand smoke&lt;br /&gt;You will save your money to spend on more useful things&lt;br /&gt;You will avoid gum disease associated with smoking&lt;br /&gt;You will be able to enjoy playing sports and physical workouts&lt;br /&gt;You will not run out of breath during sex&lt;br /&gt;You smoking decreases your libido&lt;br /&gt;Smoking can make you impotent over time&lt;br /&gt;You will not be coughing, wheezing or spitting up mucus due to smoking&lt;br /&gt;You will feel more energetic if you do not smoke&lt;br /&gt;You will age normally.

Since starting college or even before that you remember the days of raving, going to parties or just chilling out with friends with a spliff (a cannabis cigarette) in your hand. It was great back then as you got high from the chemicals from smoking cannabis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now things have changed. Your friends have either moved on in life or have kicked the habit. Smoking cannabis is no longer the once social thing you did. You are now addicted to smoking cannabis. You sit there by yourself smoking away with no passion, energy or drive for life.

If you have been smoking for a number of years, the damage you have done to your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; is apparent. Heavy breathing, wheezing and the smokers cough are the norm. You may be experiencing a burning sensation when you cough, especially during colds. These symptoms are without you seeing the state of your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; from the inside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;By stopping smoking your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; will benefit immensely. For example, if you stop smoking for three to nine months the wheezing and heavy coughing will dramatically decrease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;This lens will hopefully provide you with information on how you can clean up your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; when you stop smoking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;         &lt;/div&gt;                  &lt;!--INFOLINKS_OFF--&gt;                 &lt;!--/lens_intro--&gt;                              &lt;!--INFOLINKS_ON--&gt;                            &lt;div class="module textmodule" id="module42014972"&gt;                      &lt;h2 class="module_title nopad"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;What you have done to your lungs? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;                     &lt;h3 class="module_subtitle"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Stop smoking now and clear those lungs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;            &lt;div class="write_module"&gt; &lt;img id="moduleImage42014972" src="http://static.squidoo.com/resize/squidoo_images/250/draft_lens5502502module42014972photo_1245793503lung_cancer.jpg" class="write_image" /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever thought about the damage you have done to your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; whilst you smoke? Okay so you have heard it all before, but really do you know what's happening on the inside? The following will shed some light into the state of your smokers &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;- Smoking can completely paralyze your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; natural cleansing process&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;- Irritating gases produce chemical injury&lt;span&gt; to the tissues of your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; and the airways leading to the &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt;. This speeds up the production of mucus and leads to an increased tendency to cough up sputum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- The excess mucus serves as a breeding ground for a wide variety of bacteria and viruses. This makes you more susceptible to colds, flu, bronchitis, and other respiratory infections&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- If you come down with an infection your body will be less able to fight it, because smoking impairs the ability of the white blood cells to resist it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;- The lining of your bronchi thickens as the foundations are laid down for you to develop &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lung cancer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;- Farther down, inside your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt;, the smoke weakens the free-roving scavenger cells that remove foreign particles from the air sacs of the &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt;. Continued smoke exposure adversely affects elastin (the enzyme that keeps your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; flexible), predisposing you to emphysema.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;- Many of the compounds you inhale are deposited as a layer of sticky tar on the lining of your throat and bronchi and in the delicate air sacs of your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt;. A pack-a-day smoker pours about eight ounces-the one full cup-of tar into his or her &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; each year. This tar is rich in cancer-producing chemicals, including radioactive poloniumm 210.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" &gt;How does Lung cancer develop?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;!--/module--&gt;                 &lt;div class="module youtube" id="module42015002"&gt;            &lt;div class="youtube_full"&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width: 300px; height: 247px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/dd2jYSTi9NM"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="opaque"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dd2jYSTi9NM"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div class="youtube_details"&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Learn to clean your Lungs and avoid the risk of lung cancer&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;           &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;!--/module--&gt;                 &lt;div class="module textmodule" id="module42039682"&gt;            &lt;div class="write_module"&gt; &lt;img id="moduleImage42039682" src="http://static.squidoo.com/resize/squidoo_images/250/draft_lens5502502module42039682photo_1245840239smoke_free.jpg" class="write_image" /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most important thing to do is to stop smoking before your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; get damaged. Even if they do become damaged, stop smoking. It is never too late to stop smoking!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can start taking Vitamin D. Studies have shown that Vitamin D aids better lung function. So if you have been smoking for a number of years your lung defense system against pollution, smoke may have been destroyed. Vitamin D may help aid better lung function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;You can try cleaning your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; by using herbs. There are several herbs that help to clean your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; of the build up of tar and other harmful chemicals. These herbs, which include Coltsfoot, Mullein and Horehound, work by causing you to cough and clear your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt;. Mimosa, another herb, can be used in place of anti-depressants, as it helps with side-effects such as headaches and anxiety.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Incorporate resistance and cardiovascular exercise. Make your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; work harder. Try breathing cleaner air.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Try losing excess weight, eat clean and detox the body. One thing you to remember is that your damaged &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; have taken months and years of smoking to become damaged. It may take a while to get them to function as you would like them to.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;        &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;!--/module--&gt;                  &lt;span id="mod_head_right_42039692" class="mod_head_right" style="display: none;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                     &lt;h2 class="module_title nopad"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Can I clean up my Lungs when I stop smoking?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;                     &lt;h3 class="module_subtitle"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Yes, if you know how&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;             &lt;img id="moduleImage42039692" src="http://static.squidoo.com/resize/squidoo_images/250/draft_lens5502502module42039692photo_1245841194yoga1.jpg" class="write_image" /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;You can learn how to detox your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; with a combination of vitamins, effective exercises and of course quitting smoking. You can learn how to lower your triglyceride levels and significantly reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. There are ways to open up your capillaries that have been blocked due to smoking. You can start to clean up your &lt;span class="IL_SPAN"&gt;&lt;input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden"&gt;lungs&lt;/span&gt; when you stop smoking.

Whether it's nicotine gums, pills or e-cigarettes there all sorts of options you can go for. But the most important factor of course is whether it will &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/help-me-give-up-smoking-for-good"&gt;help you give up smoking for good&lt;/a&gt;. Will these stop smoking aids help?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are techniques called NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Hypnosis that have helped many smokers kick the habit. The techniques are successful because they tap in your mind as a smoker. Why do you smoke? What other things would you want to do besides smoking? How can you replace smoking cigarettes with other thoughts, feelings and activities? The techniques allow you to make changes to your habit. Smoking is considered a habit and not an addiction!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quit-smoking-expert.com/?hop=rizvi2k"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.quit-smoking-expert.com/468x60.gif" width="468" height="60" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1233206489429289618-8674968373159878113?l=stop-smoking-now-killthesmoke.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stop-smoking-now-killthesmoke.blogspot.com/feeds/8674968373159878113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://stop-smoking-now-killthesmoke.blogspot.com/2009/07/help-me-give-up-smoking-for-good.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1233206489429289618/posts/default/8674968373159878113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1233206489429289618/posts/default/8674968373159878113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stop-smoking-now-killthesmoke.blogspot.com/2009/07/help-me-give-up-smoking-for-good.html' title='Help me give up smoking for good'/><author><name>killthesmoke</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10278051139324854589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233206489429289618.post-5292245939454131555</id><published>2009-06-30T08:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T08:56:02.797-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oxygen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lungs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cardio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stop smoking'/><title type='text'>Can I clean up my lungs when I stop smoking?</title><content type='html'>One question I get asked often by my smoker friends is "&lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/can-i-clean-up-my-lungs-when-i-stop-smoking"&gt;can I clean up my lungs when I stop smoking&lt;/a&gt;"? Can I reverse the damage I have done to my lungs from smoking? The answer I'm afraid is not as simple as yes or no. First of all it depends how long and how frequently you have been smoking. Then it depends on how much damage smoking has caused your lungs already. I would advise you get an x-ray carried out to determine the extent of smoke in your lungs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I can say is there are proven techniques to help improve your lungs functionality. For example, incorporating cardiovascular with resistance training helps improve your lungs capacity to take in oxygen as opposed to the carbon dioxide from smoking. Vitamin D is also known to improve the lungs functions. There are also herbs you can use to aid the detox of your lungs. The herbs will speed up the process of coughing up toxins from your lungs which are filled with bacteria which can cause viruses. The key thing for you before you try anything is to &lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/stop-cigarette-smoking"&gt;give up smoking today&lt;/a&gt;, right now. Your lungs will immediately thank you for it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1233206489429289618-5292245939454131555?l=stop-smoking-now-killthesmoke.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stop-smoking-now-killthesmoke.blogspot.com/feeds/5292245939454131555/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://stop-smoking-now-killthesmoke.blogspot.com/2009/06/can-i-clean-up-my-lungs-when-i-stop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1233206489429289618/posts/default/5292245939454131555'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1233206489429289618/posts/default/5292245939454131555'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stop-smoking-now-killthesmoke.blogspot.com/2009/06/can-i-clean-up-my-lungs-when-i-stop.html' title='Can I clean up my lungs when I stop smoking?'/><author><name>killthesmoke</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10278051139324854589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
