Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms
Let me add, at this point, that there is no blame here that that you have
unconsciously acceptedall these false beliefs and fears about smoking.
We are all victims of this universal myth – but, one by one, we must
face it and expose it's nothingness.
This will not only be for our own personal benefit but for others too,
because everybody who succeeds in quitting smoking and finding
the whole process easy makes it 100% easier for all the people
who follow them.
So again, do not blame yourself for your present beliefs about smoking.

Remember, at one stage over 60% of the adult population were addicted
to nicotine. Most people still today believe that Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms are very painful.
The Mechanics Of Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms
|
So exactly what does happen physically when you smoke and when you stop ?
Every puff on your cigarette delivers, via the lungs to the brain a small
dose of nicotine that actually acts more rapidly than a dose of heroin
an addict may inject into his veins.
Because nicotine is a quick-acting drug, the levels in the bloodstream
drop quickly to about half within a half an hour and a quarter within
an hour of finishing a cigarette, then the nicotine withdrawal symptoms kick in.
As soon as a smoker extinguishes a cigarette, the nicotine rapidly
begins to leave the bloodstream and the smoker begins to suffer
nicotine withdrawal symptoms – that restless feeling that says "I want a cigarette".
What does the smoker then do?
How do most smokers handle these nicotine withdrawal symptoms?
He has another cigarette of course and within seven seconds, fresh
nicotine is supplied and the craving ends ……….but soon starts again
…..and again………and again………….and the chain goes on and on
….a cigarette …then the nicotine withdrawal symptoms….then another smoke and it is a
chain for life UNLESS we break it.
So whenever you feel like a cigarette – and we all know the feeling –
that senseless desire to smoke – realize that it is nothing but
that 'little entity', nicotine – requesting it's hourly dose of poison.
These nicotine withdrawal symptoms are so mild, in themselves they have no great power.
That's all.
Nicotine withdrawal symptoms are Not some large, terrifying, all-powerful force that we must fear and obey at all costs.
It is just that 'little febble entity'' trying to send a message to the brain –
usually every hour – 'I need more poison. Nicotine now please."
The Truth about Nicotine Withdrawal Symptoms!
|
The truth is simple.
You are a nicotine addict.
You smoke to supply your body with nicotine but this is not the
end of the world.
There is some good news.
It is important to remember that although nicotine is one of the world's
most powerful drugs because of the speed with which you get hooked,
you are never badly physically hooked. Nicotine withdrawal symptoms
are mild,actually very mild.
Isn't this great news?
We all know the terrible reality of smoking, but at least there is a way
out of this misery.
We thought we were chained for life to this terrible addiction and we were
convinced we would have to suffer terrible physical withdrawal pangs to
escape from it.
But now a new simple truth has emerged that people all over the world
are discovering for themselves:
All we will feel is a slight physical discomfort that will come in the form of a empty, restless feeling which will fade away gradually after we stop.
A Lingering Doubt
But there is still a doubt in your mind, right now, isn't there ?
"OK", you're probably saying……..
"I understand this whole problem of nicotine addiction. And I can
accept that I'll probably have no problem in dealing with any nicotine
withdrawal symptoms I may have to face, – but I still have a nagging doubt……..
There much be more to it than that……..
…….If it is so easy to cope with the nicotine withdrawl symptoms, why then do some
smokers still find it so difficult? Why do they still go through months of torture and
spend the whole of their lives pining for a cigarette?"
The answer to that question will complete the final piece of the jigsaw
that will solve for us the mystery of our addiction to smoking.
