			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Millions of people in a whole world like to smoke cigarette. Smoking cigarette gives them a pleasure and a sense of well-being, and it has become a habit which is difficult to kick. Why do this happen? Because of the cigarette contains nicotine, a very powerful and addictive substance. The cigarette addiction makes people who want to quit smoking fail. The nicotine even makes them nervous when thinking about giving up cigarettes. For a long term period, smoking makes the body becomes dependent on nicotine psychologically and physically. To be successful in quit smoking, the smokers have to defeat their cigarette addiction both psychologically and physically.</p>
<p>When a smoker starts to quit, or the intake of cigarette is cut, the smoker will experience withdrawal symptoms. This is the result of a lack of nicotine since the body has been dependent on the cigarette addiction. Psychologically, when a smoker stop the habit, a major change in their behavior will occur. Physically, the cut of nicotine intake causes the body react. The smoker should be ready to face physical and psychological factors once they quit. The withdrawal symptoms can include depression, frustration, trouble sleeping, restlessness, crankiness and etc.</p>
<p>Usually, withdrawal symptoms start happen about 2 or 3 hours after the last cigarette is smoked. These cigarette addiction symptoms will escalate to be severe after 2 or 3 days and will go on for several weeks.</p>
<p>It is very important to stop smoking, because the cigarette addiction will lead you to some serious illness such as lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema. It is a fact that a smoker is more likely to die of a heart attack than a non smoker.</p>
<p>No matter how old you are and how long you have smoked, quit smoking immediately is much better than to put off until tomorrow. Try to escape from the cigarette addiction to make you live healthier and better in order to be able to give more to your family.</p>

<p>The FDA has recently taken aim at Electronic Cigarettes by releasing a report stating they are wildly unhealthy. The full report has not been made available to the public but already the results have been shrouded in controversy. Some argue the smoking alternatives can&#8217;t possibly be worse than the FDA approved drug Chantix which has already proven itself to be a dangerous substance (people have become suicidal, over-aggressive, severely depressed, etc).</p>
<p>Concerns are beginning to rise that perhaps the FDA is not conducting these tests on electronic cigarettes with the health of the general public in mind. Why is the FDA measuring the safety of these unapproved NRTs to regular health standards instead of contrasting it to the dangers posed by smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes?</p>
<p>I chose to self-examine Diethylene Glycol apart from what the FDA says. Looking at the Health New Zealand study for electronic cigarettes, the presence of Diethylene Glycol was not tested for. They seem to have based their tests on manufacturer ingredient lists and known tobacco carcinogens. So what is Diethylene Glycol? The MSDS shows that chronic exposure to Diethylene Glycol can cause lesions on the liver and kidneys, as well as damage to the same organs. </p>
<p>Examining the substance further, the carcinogenic or cancer causing properties of Diethylene Glycol proved moot as none were found and or expected to be found in the future. The toxicological data showed a lethal ingestion dose at a whopping 855.925g for humans, and that regular exposure was non-toxic. If any adverse reactions were to occur from inhalation, discontinuing use or removing oneself to fresh air is the recommended first aid treatment.</p>
<p>Is Diethylene Glycol the main ingredient in antifreeze? The EPA has this to say about antifreeze variations: &#8220;Antifreeze typically contains ethylene glycol as its active ingredient, but some manufacturers market propylene glycol-based antifreeze, which is less toxic to humans and pets. The acute, or short-term, toxicity of propylene glycol, especially in humans, is substantially lower than that of ethylene glycol.&#8221;</p>
<p>Either way, no matter which ingredient is active in the suspension, the stigma of antifreeze being dangerous actually comes from the fact that it is often disposed of improperly. This is only important because during service and use of the product, heavy metals contaminate the fluid (particularly dangerous is the lead contained in the metals). Yes, straight antifreeze is toxic, but its active ingredient is Ethylene Glycol and the main hazard stems from the heavy metals absorbed in used, recycled, or improperly discarded antifreeze.</p>
<p>The other stab the FDA took in their findings as at the presence of nitrosamines (carcinogens) in the electronic cigarette fluid. The type of tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) found are actually naturally occurring in nicotine produced from tobacco leaves. The presence of TSNAs then increases with the strength of nicotine in the cartridges, according to the Health New Zealand study. On average, the cartridges contain 3.928 parts per billion (also noted as Ng or ppb).</p>
<p>The highest amount of TSNAs expected to be found in any &#8220;high-strength&#8221; nicotine cartridge refill for an e-cig is on average 8.183ppb. The FDA neglected to mention that Nicorette Gum, a long-standing NRT that is FDA approved, also contains about 8ppb. If we want to see why this amount is insignificant, we can compare it to unburned tobacco cigarettes which average approximately 1,230Ng.</p>
<p>Thinking back now to our original question, &#8220;Does the FDA have the public&#8217;s health in mind during their testing?&#8221; seems to take on a new light. It becomes increasingly apparent that perhaps their bigger concern is that a NRT device has hit the market that is very effective, just as safe as currently approved NRTs, but doesn&#8217;t line their pockets.</p>

<p>We all know the dangers of smoking and most people want to stop but just can&#8217;t. They might find that even though they can get all kinds of diseases, they just can&#8217;t seem to quit. This is because it is very addictive, but here are a few ways that you can stop smoking if you want to get healthy again.</p>
<p>The first thing you can do to stop smoking is to search for something like a nicotine patch or nicotine gum. Now, while this is preventing you from lighting up, it also contains nicotine. It is in small doses however and safer than inhaling the cigarette fumes which can reach the brain in about 6 to 8 seconds. The nicotine in a patch or gum will not affect the brain as much or as fast. This is because it is absorbed into the blood stream through your skin or saliva. </p>
<p>With the nicotine gum and patches you can easily stop smoking and they help to take the edge off. This is necessary when you have a job to do and you cannot afford to be irritable and feel terrible. These products can however also cause problems, as there have been cases where people become addicted to them instead.</p>
<p>Another way to stop smoking is to go cold turkey. Many people use this method, especially if they smoke more as a habit and less because they are addicted. They can choose to stop and will simple not purchase cigarettes any longer. They might experience some forms of withdrawal, but generally these people just find something else to occupy their time. </p>
<p>Another way to cure smoking for good is to go to a hypnotherapist. These people are often seen as frauds, but many cigarette smokers actually admit that going under hypnosis cured them. They no longer feel the cravings that they used to and to them smoking is actually not nice any more. This is because the treatments are done in such a way to trick the brain into responding to smoking in a different way. </p>
<p>There are some other methods, but these are the best ones. They can be used as often as you need to and most of the time you will only need them once. When you find the method that works for you the best you should not give up. Keep trying and you will soon notice how energetic you feel. You will also prevent getting certain cancers and other illnesses like emphysema. </p>
<p>If you feel that they are unfair and rude it will only make you want to smoke again. So, do not pay it much attention, and if it is bothering you that much, leave the room, that is what every other non-smoker will do.</p>

<p>Smoking is a tricky subject to get to grips with, for smokers and non smokers alike. Fortunately, we have a few tools to help us understand the state of smoking and none are quite as powerful as looking into the history of the phenomena. Smoking has had a dramatic impact on culture, economies and individuals, so it can be easy to get bogged down with the big issues &#8211; forgetting the important lessons we can learn from thousands of years of tobacco use and the evolution of smoking norms. With that in mind, lets go back through history and uncover the surprising, sometimes funny history of smoking.</p>
<p>The story of tobacco and smoking begins many thousands of years ago in pre-historic America. Scientists predict that tobacco began growing in the form we recognize back in 6000BC, though this is educated guess work at best. It is widely thought that the recreational and religious use of the plant followed shortly after, with burning and chewing of the leaves commonplace in Mayan culture. This use spread to other Native American civilizations, and the entire continent was enjoying tobacco and smoking in short order.</p>
<p>This tribal smoking habit was kept up without interference or alteration for roughly 3000 years, but things changed when the European and Asian nations found the Americas. Rodriguez De Jerez &#8211; an explorer with Columbuss party &#8211; became the first non Native American smoker to taste tobacco, enjoying it so much that he bought a good quantity back to Spain, only to be locked up when he attempted to smoke it in public. So the controversial nature of smoking was born, and perhaps even the bad boy smoker image.</p>
<p>Rodriguez&#8217;s luck aside, once tobacco found its way to Europe it spread (relatively speaking!) like wildfire throughout the European nations. Sir John Hawkins and Sir Frances Drake of Britain were the two most likely candidates for shipping tobacco back to Europe in its early days. Richard Grenville, cousin of Sir Walter Raleigh &#8211; and Raleigh himself &#8211; were likely responsible for popularising the drug in high society, making smoking the norm for royalty, the British aristocracy, and anyone with aspirations to such station.</p>
<p>The first substantial challenge to tobaccos spread throughout western society was a King James I decree, essentially outlawing smoking in pubs. At the time, James described tobacco as &#8220;an invention of Satan,&#8221; strong words considering how he later nationalized the production of smoking products and reduced taxes to producers and importers. Indeed, tobacco consumption grew exponentially to make many people very rich over the next five hundred years.</p>
<p>Paper cigarettes, the delivery method of choice the majority of smokers nowadays, took quite a while to be invented. It&#8217;s generally believed that the paradigm shifting sticks were first created by Egyptian soldiers fighting the Turkish-Egyptian war, though many theories abound on the subject. Needless to say, the invention revolutionised smoking and production heralding a new age for smokers and tobacco. Links between smoking and lung cancer did not emerge until 1950, where a paper showing links between smoking and lung cancer was published by the British Medical Journal. This was closely followed by US Surgeon General, Luther Terry, unequivocally declaring the link in 1965.</p>
<p>The battles which followed this announcement have shocked the world and, perhaps more significantly, thrown the use of tobacco back into question. Regulators, producers and smokers all have their own arguments for and against smoking, but none deny the significant health risks which have now been revealed. Still, health officials around the globe now fight to reduce the smoking population with the UK once again banning public smoking, and the US federal and state governments legislating for stronger controls and warnings on tobacco products.</p>

<p>Even though we have been lectured on bad effects of smoking for over forty years, the sad truth has yet reached the ears of all smokers. Even worse, as thousands of people take up smoking every year, many of them even before they turn 21, this addiction is far from being cured.</p>
<p>First, let&#8217;s discuss what you won&#8217;t get from smoking. First of all, it is not pleasant. The initial relaxing effects of nicotine wear off soon after you start smoking, leaving you with nothing but an expensive habit. Then, it does not help improve your image. You may feel more adult, but yellow teeth and bad breath make you look sick rather than &#8220;macho&#8221;.</p>
<p>Death Bought On The Installment Plan</p>
<p>The statistics are staggering. With over 400,000 smoking-related deaths in the US every year, smoking proves to be far more dangerous to US citizens than any war. The US Army has lost only a fraction of this number during the whole WWII! The Japanese and German armies tried for five years (and failed) to cause the damage Americans are now doing to themselves every year! With almost 9 out of 10 cases of respiratory illness caused directly by smoking cigarettes, it is hard to believe that smoking is still not banned.</p>
<p>Heart diseases are another problems caused or at least strengthened by the cigarette smoke. Strokes and coronary health illnesses are but two examples of a much wider notion. The chances of having a stroke increases greatly both for cigarette smokers and the second-hand smokers who only breathe in the smoke for other people&#8217;s cigarettes.</p>
<p>Another problem is the health of children. If a woman smokes during pregnancy, or if she spends a lot of time around smokers, the child will probably develop heart problems and smaller lungs. To tell the truth, this is not even a chance, but a certainty. Those children who apparently do not suffer from such problems had a potential of being extremely healthy sportsmen. They lost that chance only because their mothers inhaled cigarette smoke.</p>
<p>There is even more than that&#8230;</p>
<p>Smoking does not only kill us. It also makes us ugly.</p>
<p>The problems with the changing color of teeth is well-known both to smokers and non-smokers. The tar from cigarettes stains teeth, often forming plaque that can be removed only via dental cleaning. What people do not know is that smoking damages your gums, too. It&#8217;s not even about the risk of swelling or inflammation, but about restraining the blood circulation in gums, thus weakening them to the point where they can&#8217;t really support the teeth.</p>
<p>Lack of proper circulation in gums causes severe risk of teeth loss. This is not theoretical! A teenage smoker loses between four and six teeth before he reaches his mid-thirties. Poor blood circulation in the mouth often results also in other problems, most notably complications after dental operations. For example, smokers are more likely to suffer of a dry-pocket.</p>
<p>Compared to teeth loss and dry-socket problems other &#8220;niceties&#8221; of smoking look trivial. Nevertheless, they are also infuriating as well as 100% sure to show up. The changes include losing color by your skin, thinning of hair and its breaking off, and the terrible stink surrounding you, your clothes and your stuff. Even though you may not notice it at first &#8211; the change takes months and it&#8217;s not easy to spot a difference building up during so long time &#8211; other people will see it for sure. So, if you notice that people start distance from you during parties or try not to sit next to you, it is probably either due to the odor they smell or to your weary and unattractive look. Either way, do not blame them &#8211; you have done it to yourself.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the solution? There is only one: quit smoking! Right here and right now. Cig-Arette will help you minimize the withdrawal symptoms and pour in all necessary nutrients to get your body back to life in no time. Stop now &#8211; smoking is not worth your life and, even more importantly, your good look.</p>

<p>Cigarette smoking is not a good habit, that&#8217;s what one can hear even from smokers. Nicotine is addictive, making it difficult to give it up, and ex-smokers usually need a real fit of strong will to stop smoking. Sadly, because giving up smoking requires some strong will on the smoker&#8217;s side, many smokers simply do not bother with trying to give up. If they only really knew what is at stake&#8230;</p>
<p>First, let&#8217;s discuss what you won&#8217;t get from smoking. First of all, it is not pleasant. The initial relaxing effects of nicotine wear off soon after you start smoking, leaving you with nothing but an expensive habit. Then, it does not help improve your image. You may feel more adult, but yellow teeth and bad breath make you look sick rather than &#8220;macho&#8221;.</p>
<p>Smoking Kills. Really</p>
<p>The statistics are staggering. With over 400,000 smoking-related deaths in the US every year, smoking proves to be far more dangerous to US citizens than any war. The US Army has lost only a fraction of this number during the whole WWII! The Japanese and German armies tried for five years (and failed) to cause the damage Americans are now doing to themselves every year! With almost 9 out of 10 cases of respiratory illness caused directly by smoking cigarettes, it is hard to believe that smoking is still not banned.</p>
<p>Smoking however, does much more than just cause lung cancer. It affects also the heart making it more probable to have a stroke, and increasing chances for developing allergies, respiratory problems such as asthma and other chronic diseases. This may happen both to smokers themselves, and to those who only inhale the smoke, for example children of smoking parents.</p>
<p>We may say of course, that people are free to do whatever they want, even if they harm themselves. Of course that true &#8211; we live in a free country anyway &#8211; but the problem is that one of the main victims of our bad habits are our children. OR, to tell the truth, parents and children alike. First of all, cigarette smoke may cause infertility both in males and females. Then, a woman who breaths in cigarette smoke during pregnancy sentence their children to suffer from the respiratory problems for the rest of their life. In more extreme cases, smoking during pregnancy may also cause premature infant deaths and early deliveries.</p>
<p>There is even more than that&#8230;</p>
<p>Smoking does not only kill us. It also makes us ugly.</p>
<p>First of all, smoking affects the color of your teeth, staining them yellow or brown. This makes dental cleaning every year a must. However, the gum problems that develop soon after are not so easily disposed of. Cigarette smoke prevents gums from receiving all necessary nutrients, making them weaker and eventually resulting in inadequate periodontal support for your teeth.</p>
<p>Lack of proper circulation in gums causes severe risk of teeth loss. This is not theoretical! A teenage smoker loses between four and six teeth before he reaches his mid-thirties. Poor blood circulation in the mouth often results also in other problems, most notably complications after dental operations. For example, smokers are more likely to suffer of a dry-pocket.</p>
<p>Compared to teeth loss and dry-socket problems other &#8220;niceties&#8221; of smoking look trivial. Nevertheless, they are also infuriating as well as 100% sure to show up. The changes include losing color by your skin, thinning of hair and its breaking off, and the terrible stink surrounding you, your clothes and your stuff. Even though you may not notice it at first &#8211; the change takes months and it&#8217;s not easy to spot a difference building up during so long time &#8211; other people will see it for sure. So, if you notice that people start distance from you during parties or try not to sit next to you, it is probably either due to the odor they smell or to your weary and unattractive look. Either way, do not blame them &#8211; you have done it to yourself.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the solution? There is only one: quit smoking! Right here and right now. Cig-Arette will help you minimize the withdrawal symptoms and pour in all necessary nutrients to get your body back to life in no time. Stop now &#8211; smoking is not worth your life and, even more importantly, your good look.</p>

<p>Even though we have been lectured on bad effects of smoking for over forty years, the sad truth has yet reached the ears of all smokers. Even worse, as thousands of people take up smoking every year, many of them even before they turn 21, this addiction is far from being cured.</p>
<p>First, let&#8217;s discuss what you won&#8217;t get from smoking. First of all, it is not pleasant. The initial relaxing effects of nicotine wear off soon after you start smoking, leaving you with nothing but an expensive habit. Then, it does not help improve your image. You may feel more adult, but yellow teeth and bad breath make you look sick rather than &#8220;macho&#8221;.</p>
<p>Smoking Kills. Really</p>
<p>The statistics are staggering. With over 400,000 smoking-related deaths in the US every year, smoking proves to be far more dangerous to US citizens than any war. The US Army has lost only a fraction of this number during the whole WWII! The Japanese and German armies tried for five years (and failed) to cause the damage Americans are now doing to themselves every year! With almost 9 out of 10 cases of respiratory illness caused directly by smoking cigarettes, it is hard to believe that smoking is still not banned.</p>
<p>Respiratory problems are only a peak of an iceberg. Smoking is also known for increasing the chance of a stroke and heart diseases even if you&#8217;re only a second-hand smoker. It gets worse if one has been exposed to the cigarette smoke when one was a child. Then, there is a good chance of developing severe asthma and allergies as well as nose, throat and ear infections. While these conditions do not normally kill, they may change a happy life into a nightmare &#8211; only because parents wanted to take a puff from time to time.</p>
<p>This is still not the end. Smokers also tend to suffer from other health problems. Pneumonia, wound healing problems and reduced fertility are among the most common ones. However, the real horror starts when a mother-to-be or someone in her vicinity smokes during the pregnancy. Premature deliveries, infant deaths or at least narrowed air passages in children&#8217;s lungs are more than common. No child is able to defend itself against the negative effects of their parents&#8217; smoking, and they often suffer from it even before they are actually born.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s still not all&#8230;</p>
<p>The problem with cigarettes is not only the death &#8211; we will all eventually die. The problem is that the smoke will ruin our physical appearance long before that.</p>
<p>The problems with the changing color of teeth is well-known both to smokers and non-smokers. The tar from cigarettes stains teeth, often forming plaque that can be removed only via dental cleaning. What people do not know is that smoking damages your gums, too. It&#8217;s not even about the risk of swelling or inflammation, but about restraining the blood circulation in gums, thus weakening them to the point where they can&#8217;t really support the teeth.</p>
<p>Lack of proper circulation in gums causes severe risk of teeth loss. This is not theoretical! A teenage smoker loses between four and six teeth before he reaches his mid-thirties. Poor blood circulation in the mouth often results also in other problems, most notably complications after dental operations. For example, smokers are more likely to suffer of a dry-pocket.</p>
<p>Finally, the negative effects of smoking are not only about your health. Smoking can also affect your look and your wardrobe. If you compare photos before you started smoking with how you look like now, you&#8217;ll surely notice that your skin has lost its color and become dull, often with yellowish or greyish touch. Your hair problems are also nothing special &#8211; every smoker has less hair which is thinner and less nourished than the non-smoker. But the story does not end here. Cigarette smoke can also damage your clothes. It&#8217;s not only about the smell, it is also about its indirect ability to damage the clothes. As the smoke blends into the fabric, one needs wash and dry clean them regularly, even if one hasn&#8217;t worn this exact piece of clothing yet. Either you clean your clothes regularly and turn them into washed rags, or you decide to let them stink. Either way, do not blame the manufacturer &#8211; China cheap workforce is not responsible for your bad habits.</p>
<p>Now you know everything. The dark side of smoking: a few hundred thousand deaths, teeth problems, loss of good appearance and stink. Everyone with at least something between ears can do only one thing: stop smoking! While the withdrawal symptoms may be painful especially for heavy smokers, Cig-Arette is able to give them a hand and minimize negative sides of giving up. The nutritional supplements it contains will improve your health condition in no time.</p>

<p>It can be a complex process that you need to be prepared for, and the best way to do that is to learn everything you can about your addiction and what to expect as you go through the process of quitting. That&#8217;s not the case. Smoking is, among other things, a collection of mental ties that link various events in your life to lighting a cigarette. Make sure that people around you (parents, spouses, etc.) know what to expect, so it doesn&#8217;t seem like you&#8217;ve lost your mind. Third, come up with a quitting buddy. It sounds a bit lame at first, but it really does help.</p>
<p>Quitting smoking is not easy. I know because it took me over 10 years to quit myself. You see, there is no one size fits all method of quitting that works for everyone. But don&#8217;t despair &#8211; there are plenty of methods, you just need to find the one that will work for you. Nicotine replacement can help with the cravings. Hypnosis can help with your subconscious. You see, your mind is very powerful and your thoughts can really dictate what your body wants.</p>
<p>Methods for quitting smoking are some of the most frequently question asked by those who really want to quit smoking. They become sick because of smoking. Although they know the negative effect of smoking, but they still cannot stop smoking. This is why a person who tries to smoke for the first time will become a long term smoker. The indications of person who are addicted to nicotine are worried, become angry easily, difficult to concentrate, nervous, and insomnia. Tobacco companies know very well why people want to smoke. Thirdly, stress and relaxation. The fact is, cigarette is only a stimulant and will not help us to relax.</p>
<p>Approximately 10 years later, I was able to once and for all kick this habit to the curb and become a non-smoker. You&#8217;ve probably tried to quit before. Well, then that gets you back into the habit and once you know it, you are smoking again regularly. I found a program that helped me deal with the way my mind worked. Since I had smoked for so many years, I had the mental tapes running of being a smoker. I had purchased an MP3 audio program that walked me through the relaxation and visualizations with positive affirmation scripts to open up my mind and begin to clear away the negative thoughts that kept me smoking. I developed a burning desire to be healthy and to be able to breathe deeply.</p>
<p>Most people who smoke are aware of the dangers of smoking, however because they have become so used to smoking, they often ignore these dangers and continue smoking anyway. The chemicals in tobacco disrupt your natural serotonin levels, causing you to feel good only in the short term, and often down, drowsy and slightly to extremely depressed in the mid to long term. Often times when you light up that next cigarette is because you need to feed the reward system your brain has gotten used to the chemicals in cigarettes. This is where hypnosis can help. For me, I feel almost exactly how I felt back in high school, when I was actively playing sport.</p>
