Stop smoking motivation
August 8, 2011 By 5 Comments
Motivation !!!
Different people have different fears, but the main fear of all people, the main reason you haven’t stopped yet, is the fear it will be too painful or difficult.
There are various strategies to adopt to get over this fear. Again this will vary from person to person, and may require a combination of motivators.
My own main motivation was GREED. Smoking costs ridiculous amounts of money, most of which goes to the tax man. Depriving him should be motivational in itself!
Make yourself a wish list of things you would like to do or buy if you only had the money. Luxury cruise? New kitchen? Landscape the Garden? New nursery?
Take a look at these cost projections:
At £5.70 a packet (current average price in UK) –
30 ’ciggys’ a day would cost you £ 60.01 a week
£ 259.39 a month £ 3120.75 a year
20 a day would cost you £ 40.10 a week
£ 173.38 a month
£ 2080 a year
Well there is the cruise sorted.
WORK OUT FOR YOURSELF HOW MUCH IT IS PERSONALLY COSTING YOU!
I found it important to ‘see’ the savings I was making rather than just stop buying them. I worked out how much I was spending and physically put the money aside every week. At first this was simply in a cash box at home and later in a separate account. Don’t make the mistake of saying “I can’t find the money this week” – you found it when you were buying the weed!!!
It is amazing how fast it accumulates and the satisfaction of seeing this provides ongoing motivation when tempted to weaken! Dig out the cash box or bank book and gloat!!

Study Finds Habit Changer Twice As Effective As Popular Methods In Overcoming Cigarette Smoking Habit
August 2, 2011 By 3 Comments
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 29, 2010
This week findings from a recent Anderson Analytics market research study were released that examined the underlying reasons for success of common methods used to stop smoking versus a new online approach. This study compared participants that completed the 42-day “Quit Smoking” program by Habit Changer against participants who used nicotine-replacement therapies or other alternatives to quit or reduce intake of cigarettes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), roughly 9.2 million smokers attempt to quit annually.1
“It was like a trusted friend, encouraging me to challenge my thinking and habits through random texts and emails each day. I was inspired daily to take a serious look at why I smoked and make a change.”
Overwhelmingly, twice as many respondents (80%) who completed the “Quit Smoking” Habit Changer program reported a positive change in their smoking behavior versus the control group (42%) that employed popular methods other than Habit Changer. A positive change shows that respondents reported quitting smoking entirely or reduced their smoking. On average, Habit Changer respondents reduced their smoking by 13 cigarettes versus eight cigarettes by the control group per day. If an average pack contains 20 cigarettes, on average the Habit Changer group would smoke 1,800 fewer cigarettes or 90 packs less annually than the control group. Looking at the population as a whole, this translates into 95 million less cigarettes.2
The study was comprised of a sample of 340 demographically diverse respondents, smokers, men and women age 20 – 65+, who tried one or more strategies to quit smoking in the last twelve months to test against the effectiveness of Habit Changer’s “Quit Smoking” online program. The final study compared two groups, one comprised of 44 respondents that completed 21 or more days of the Habit Changer 42-day program against one comprised of 31 control respondents that most recently used the following popular methods outside of Habit Changer: quitting cold turkey, using a nicotine patch or gum, trying a non-nicotine medication or counseling, among other current popular strategies.

ClydeSight Productions Stop Smoking Computer Program Improves Romance
August 2, 2011 By 1 Comment
Malden, MA (PRWEB) January 18, 2005
ClydeSight Productions announces the availability of the System 12 Self-Improvement Interactive: Smoke Free program in time for Valentines Day. Smokers seeking love and romance are experiencing difficulty these days as their habit blocks them from meeting the right people. System 12 is a program to quit smoking that runs on a Windows or Mac PC. Taking a multimedia spin on the self-help theme, there are no pills, gum or patches to use and refill with the program. To learn more about System 12 and to preview features, please visit http://www.sys12smokefree.com.
Personal ads and dating service clients often specify non-smokers only, compounding lonely smokers expensive addictions with the fact that being a smoker automatically excludes them from potential relationships. People who are already in committed relationships run into problems when one member smokes and the other dislikes the habit. Many smokers seeking love greatly benefit from a simple and effective program to help them quit smoking, but finding the right one is difficult.
Hypnotherapist John Murray wrote of the program, The mind never wants to give up anything– and with this program you dont feel deprived. You feel more satisfied by being smoke free.
System 12 Self-Improvement Interactive: Smoke Free is self-directed and broadens the tradition of audio-only self-help systems with a fully interactive CD-ROM program–a new approach to stop smoking through the computer. Built on a solid foundation of support instead of rhetoric, System 12 doesnt enforce a cold turkey method, but instead gently encourages smokers to reduce their smoking habit until they quit completely in their own way and time. It helps them manage the smoking mindset, the true source of addiction, through a series of 12 modules. Because of its gentle approach, smokers feel no stress as they quit.
In their January 2005 issue, Smart Computing magazine wrote of the program, …by making yourself acutely aware of your habit, you can begin to make the decisions necessary to change it.
Just as the mind is the greatest sex organ in the body, its also the greatest organ for change. With System 12 Self-Improvement Interactive: Smoke Free, smokers find that they simply dont want to smoke. Being smoke free, they are more able to find love and romance.

However, the continuous exposure to strong odours and bad smell can lead to many diseases, which are fatal to the life or other crucial parts of the body. The three major elements that cause foul smell are Nitrogen, Sulphur and Oxygen. These three elements are available in almost any atmosphere and surroundings. The oxygen content in the atmosphere usually creates a sweet smell. Nitrogen and sulphur is responsible for creating a foul or bad smell.

Many of the juries have provided with the landmark judgements and necessary guidelines for the companies in order to control the air and water pollution that give rise to foul smell and odours.

Schools, colleges and many other institutions have become aware of the consequences of bearing odour and foul smell. This awareness in the public at large has forced many industries and companies to take adequate and proper steps for Odour control.

Kitchen Extractor Fans Will Keep A Kitchen Odour Free And Cool To Work In
August 2, 2011 By 2 Comments
Any modern kitchen needs to be equipped with a kitchen extractor fan to reduce the amount of smells and grease that are produced during cooking. Exhaust fans are not only highly functional kitchen equipment but can also be an attractive part of any kitchen’s decor. They do not need to be often installed or replaced and are available in a variety of types and sizes according to the design and requirements of the kitchen.
A kitchen extractor fan, also referred to as an exhaust fan, is mounted directly above the kitchen stove. It is usually encased in a metal box or bell-shaped canopy and attached to an exhaust vent. It primarily serves to conceal unsightly vents, however, an attractive exhaust fan can also add some colour and character to any kitchen.
A kitchen extractor fan serves an important purpose: It draws out all the smoke and vapours created during cooking and routes them elsewhere. It is indispensable as kitchen vapours consist of not just water vapours discharged when boiling, but also vaporised oil and grease released from fried and sauteed foods. There are kitchen fans that let in fresh air into the kitchen while simultaneously removing smoke and vapours. All in all, kitchen extractor fans are intended to reduce the level of humidity and oil in the air to prevent them from dirtying and damaging kitchen surfaces.
There are many types of kitchen extractor fans on the market. The most common types are hood extractor fans, island range extractor fans and freestanding extractor fans. Hood fans or canopy fans are installed directly over the stove. They soak up all of the tainted air and then either expel the air outside or run it through a filter which is housed within the fan. If the fan has a filter then it needs to be replaced or cleaned regularly. Island range fans are the most effective in eliminating the polluted air.
This type of kitchen extractor fans uses a chimney in order to soak up the air and then expel it through the ceiling of the house. Freestanding extractor fans work in a similar way to the island range fans, except they do not require a chimney. Instead, these fans have charcoal filters installed inside so that they are able to clean the polluted air and then circulate it back into the kitchen. Charcoal filters are great at soaking up fat and nasty smells and can make a big difference to the quality of air in the kitchen. As with most filters, charcoal filters need to be cleaned regularly in soapy water or a dishwasher.
Such factors as the family budget, usage peculiarities and kitchen layout should be considered when choosing a kitchen extractor fan. For most home kitchens, extractors working at a variable speed are the best choice as they operate quietly. Large-capacity fans are a more appropriate choice for installation over a kitchen island. Self regulating fans which incorporate a built-in controller to regulate the rate of air flow and a timer to turn the fan off after a set interval are highly suitable for large kitchens and are very easy-to-use.
All things considered, kitchen extractor fans are very useful. They can control the humidity inside a kitchen. They also control the odours and the fumes inside the kitchen not to mention their ability to remove heat and keep the kitchen cool, making it a lot easier to work there.
We sell a range of kitchen extractor fans and other electrical goods. Visit us at http://www.e-tradecounter.co.uk to find out more.

Article by TonyEva
Before the day of Children’s Day, it is the World No-Smoking Day. People should take this as a special reminder that adults are responsible to give children a green, no-smoking and healthy environment. It is an indisputable fact that tobacco is harmful to health. Youngsters are at the period of development and growth, the function of body has to be matured, they are subjected to more serious harassment and harm when exposed to secondhand smoke environment. Survey shows that about 180 million children are currently suffering from passive smoking in China.
Government has the responsibility to create a healthy and good growth environment for our young people, taking them away from the dangers of tobacco. Since the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control adopted, China has successively promulgated Law of Tobacco Monopoly, Law of protection Minors and Public health management, in which expressly bans on selling tobacco to minors, smoking in public places and dissuading young people smoking. Besides, many local governments also enact anti-smoking regulations in public places and establish smoke-free places, smoke-free units, smoke-free city. Theory of Tobacco Control has translated into practical action in China, which is a pleasing change but need further development as a social practice.
However, the practice is not satisfactory. Punishment does not act or the intensity is too weak. Some operators sell tobacco with low prices regardless of the legal and moral constraints. It needs to strengthen law enforcement and management cut off the channels of tobacco harm to young people.
Parents should take the responsibility and have the desire for children’s healthy growth, but according to statistics, 44% of young people undergo passive smoking at home. Governments strongly advocate and promote the ban on smoking in public places and workplaces, but legal regulation on smoking at home is a gap. Non-smoking in the family relies on the conscious from parents.
Many parents try their best to give children healthy foods, create good living conditions for children. However, please bow your head to look if your hands are clamping cigarettes? If so, you trap the children into the unhealthy environment, make them lose at the starting line on healthy.

Healthy Solutions To Smoking
August 2, 2011 By 1 Comment
The risky health implications involved in smoking has led to ingenious innovations in countering the habit and the problems it brings with it, and one such remedy is the Electronic Cigarette. Meant to deliver certain amounts of nicotine in the blood in each puff, an Electronic Cigarette is specially designed to produce a smokeless nicotine dose by vaporizing the liquid form inside the metal tube. In essence, the action is ‘vaping’ not smoking; but when sucked, the vapor comes out resembling smoke, which creates a rather convincing feel to it.
The Electronic Cigarette and Best E Juice has gained popularity immensely with the premise of countering the nasty smell that comes with cigarettes which make smoking unpleasant, and the health risks involved in performing a combustion routine in ones lungs.
E Juice helps with smoking habits but works well because it maintains a healthier process and it also adds much needed vitamins in the solution, which is a better alternative to cigarettes.
E Cigarettes are a healthy solution to the serious problems related to continual cigarette use and they’ve been proven to work. The energy and overall health boosting capabilities of E cigs is unmatched, when compared to other alternative smoking methods. Smoke free cigarettes also work with healthy components in the Best E Juice, such as vitamin blends which are meant to increase the health benefits of Electronic cigarette smoking. Acquiring an Electronic Cigarette is quite easy; you just need to purchase a starter kit, which comes with all the essentials and good supply of the tobacco and E Juice supplement cartridges.
They work pretty easy too; just plug in the cartridge into the cigarette and use until it runs out. When the cartridge runs out of juice the vapor stops working and all you need to do is replace the old one with a new cartridge and the process is just plugging in. Usage of the Best E Juice for about a month will bring back health for you if you’ve been struggling to find a solution for smoking. The Best E Juice essential vitamin enhancer vitamin is a cool and healthy way for smokers to cut down on the toxics involved in regular tobacco smoking.
Research continues into safer smoking habits continues, and perhaps in the future a purely non tobacco smoke will hit the market, but currently we have the Best E Juice boosting the E Cig and it’s working just fine. You should try it sometime.
