Giving up smoking is likely to be one of the most difficult things you will ever have to do in your life. You want to quit smoking and you know you should, for your health, for your family and to save money, but although your mind is willing, your long-term willpower may be weak. Quitting smoking is tough, and some find it almost impossible to do. Nicotine is a powerful addict, and although many people choose to start smoking of their own free will, most people do not continue to smoke because they want to, but because they are addicted.
Many wise smokers do not want to add more drugs to their body, so they choose to quit smoking naturally. If you are serious about wanting to quit smoking naturally, use some or all of our tips and make this the time you succeed!
5 Tips to Help You Quit Smoking Naturally
- Add exercise to your new lifestyle. It occupies your mind and gets you through those moments of weakness. When you really, really want a cigarette, put on your running gear and take off.
- Add low-fat, high-fiber foods to your diet to speed detoxification and maintain energy. These foods also help avoid weight gain.
- Tell your non-smoking friends and work associates that you have quit smoking. The thought of them catching you smoking and mocking you may be just enough to stop you taking that first backward step.
- Put your cigarette money in a jar, then treat yourself to a reward - a beauty treatment, a good book or a weekend away will give you the pat on the back you deserve.
- Look for an all-natural formula of products which work together to help reduce the cravings and desire to smoke. There are some excellent stop-smoking packages which include several aids to help you quit smoking naturally. Natural products such as echinacea are known to help your body resist cravings, whilst sarsaparilla helps prevent the dreaded weight gain and passion flower helps reduce tension and feelings of anxiety. Add to this burdock root, kelp and hyssop which are all known to cleanse the body of nicotine deposits, making you feel healthier and livelier. The package may also include an aromatherapy oil to be used at times when the urge to smoke becomes almost irresistible. Rub the oil under your nose; the action and the vapor together will help you overcome the urge safely and naturally. One final component in the package is a low-dose formula to help you maintain your new status as a non-smoker.
No-one can do it alone; we all need a little help. Natural formulas are very safe, affordable and effective in helping to overcome the urge to smoke. Making the decision to quit smoking naturally is the first step in your successful bid to quit smoking for life.

The Newest Smoking Hazard
Are you concerned about the dangers of 2nd hand smoke? Well now there’s even more reason to be concerned, 3rd hand smoke. That’s the term being used to describe the invisible yet toxic combination of gases and particles that cling to smokers’ hair and clothing, as well as cushions and carpeting, that lingers long after second-hand smoke has cleared from a room.
The residue includes heavy metals, carcinogens and radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and ingest, especially if they’re crawling or playing on the floor. It’s not only unpleasant, it’s a health threat.
In this month’s issue of Journal Pediatrics, doctors from Mass General Hospital for Children in Boston used the term “third-hand smoke” to describe the particles that remain after visible smoke is gone, and which especially pose a risk to infants and children.
Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad, but they don’t know about this,” said Dr. Jonathan P. Winickoff, the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
Third-hand smoke is what one smells when a smoker gets in an elevator after going outside for a cigarette, he said, or in a hotel room where people were smoking. “Your nose isn’t lying,” he said. “The stuff is so toxic that your brain is telling you: ’Get away.’”
The study shows that any exposure to smoke has the potential to cause harm. There are carcinogens even in third-hand smoke, and they are a risk for anybody of any age who comes into contact with them.
So what is the best approach to 3rd hand smoke for parents with young children? Avoidance. If you smoke you should try to quit or smoke only outside the home.
