Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss Control: 9 Tips to Help You Fight the Urge to Smoke

1-Avoid Triggers

Urges for tobacco are likely to be strongest in the situations where you smoked or chewed tobacco most often, such as at parties or bars, or while feeling stressed or sipping coffee. Identify your trigger situations and have a plan in place to avoid them entirely or get through them without using tobacco.

Don’t set yourself up for a smoking relapse. If you usually smoke while you talk on the phone, for instance, keep a pen and paper nearby to occupy yourself with doodling rather than smoking.

 

4-Don’t Have “Just One”

You might be tempted to have just one cigarette to satisfy a tobacco craving. But don’t fool yourself into believing that you can stop there. More often than not, having just one leads to another— and you may end up using tobacco again.

2-Delay

If you feel like you’re going to give in to your tobacco craving, tell yourself that you must first wait 10 more minutes — and then do something to distract yourself for that period. Try going to a public, smoke-free zone. These simple tricks may be enough to derail your tobacco craving.

5-Get Physical

Physical activity can help distract you from tobacco cravings and reduce their intensity. Even short bursts of physical activity — such as running up and down the stairs a few times — can make a tobacco craving go away. Get out for a walk or jog.

If you’re stuck at home or the office, try squats, deep knee bends, pushups, running in place, or walking up and down a set of stairs. If physical activity doesn’t interest you, try prayer, needlework, woodwork, or journaling. Or do chores for distraction, such as vacuuming or filing paperwork.

8-Go Online for Support

Join an online stop-smoking program. Or read a quitter’s blog and post encouraging thoughts for someone else who might be struggling with tobacco cravings. Learn from how others have handled their tobacco cravings.

3-Chew On It

Give your mouth something to do to fight a tobacco craving. Chew on sugarless gum or hard candy, or munch on raw carrots, celery, nuts, or sunflower seeds — something crunchy and satisfying.

6-Practice Relaxation Techniques

Smoking may have been your way to deal with stress. Resisting a tobacco craving can itself be stressful. Take the edge off stress by practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep-breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, yoga, visualization, massage, or listening to calming music.

9-Remind Yourself of The Benefits

Write down or say out loud the reasons you want to stop smoking and resist tobacco cravings. These might include:

  • Feeling better
  • Getting healthier
  • Sparing your loved ones from secondhand smoke
  • Saving money

Remember, trying something to beat the urge is always better than doing nothing. And each time you resist a tobacco craving, you’re one step closer to being totally tobacco-free.

Weight Control

Break Free from Alcohol Addiction

The laser is considered a “soft medical” treatment, it works in the same way as acupuncture but uses a fine-point laser rather than needles. The laser activates neurotransmitters at each touchpoint. The results remove the cravings for alcohol addiction; it also treats the systems, glands, and organs affected by alcohol consumption. As well, our treatment is known to relieve or reduce the alcohol withdrawal symptoms such as stress, anxiety, aggressivity, obsessions, frustrations, etc… This laser treatment for alcohol addiction will stimulate the release of hormones from the brain and will provide a sensation of calm and well being.

Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss

“Empower Your Health Journey: Ignite Change with Smoking Cessation, Fuel Wellness through Weight Loss Control!”

The laser treatment works as an appetite suppressant, reducing cravings. Cold, soft, non-invasive laser beams are directed at 37 points on the body – similar to acupuncture, but without the needles. Primarily, Laser Therapy for weight loss is available at all our locations. Stimulates certain acupuncture points on the body such as the hands, arms, ears, and face. By doing this, and following our weight control info, a message is transmitted to your brain telling it to increase endorphin production. When these extra endorphins are released, food cravings diminish, suppressing your appetite, and thus making you feel full sooner. In addition to appetite suppression, metabolism is increased. When your metabolism is increased, your body will use the food you eat for energy instead of storing it as fat for use later. Low-level lasers stimulate the metabolism and enable the body to use food effectively rather than storing it as fat. When stimulated with a laser beam, specific points on the body signal the brain to release endorphins. Increased endorphins reduce the production of the stress hormone, cortisol, in turn reducing cravings. When your body is in balance, your cravings will stop. More weight control info: Stay away from sweets and increase your level of physical activity. Eating more fruits and vegetables will help along with less saturated fat and sugar. This is not a diet; it’s simply a remarkable aid to accelerate weight-loss, by increasing your metabolism and helping curb your cravings for bad foods. The laser weight loss therapy is available at all our locations and is a great addition to any weight loss program. Our approach is unique to you!

Smoking Cessation Info: Smoking dependence has been said to parallel that of much harder drugs. The psychological and physiological dependency can be even harder to overcome due to the availability of cigarettes or vaping and its easy dependence. Most quit-smoking programs are based on nicotine replacement methods, cutting down, weaning off, and cold turkey. Many of these programs are using nicotine to help you quit nicotine… does that make sense to you? These programs only have up to a 29% success rate because they only deal with the physical part of the addiction.

Smoking Cessation Info: As long as any nicotine remains in the bloodstream, the body will keep craving it. Cutting down on cigarettes or using nicotine replacements simply throws the smoker into a chronic state of drug withdrawal. As soon as the smoker fails to reach the minimum requirement of nicotine, the body starts demanding it, whether from a cigarette or more nicotine replacements.

A November 2003 study found that as many as 6.7% of nicotine gum “quitters” were still chronic users at six months, three months beyond FDA use guidelines. In other words, they are now “addicted” to the Nicotine Replacement! Experts have compared the use of nicotine replacements to quit smoking to a drinker switching from Rum to Vodka – it doesn’t stop the addiction. Our Smoking Cessation Program Approach Using a step-by-step approach, we begin with a brief initial consultation to understand your habits and undergo a medical intake to determine your specific needs.
