Quit Smoking Right Now Review – Can You Really Be Smoke-Free in Three Hours Without Cravings?

All too many people begin smoking at a very young age only to come to regret having picked up the habit later on in life. The standard thinking is that quitting smoking is one of the hardest things a person could ever do. Nicotine addiction is usually blamed for this. Now, a stop smoking program called Quit Smoking Right Now claims that people can learn how to quit smoking for life in less than three hours.

Not only that, the program claims that people can stop smoking without gaining weight or suffering a single major craving and also without using drugs, pills, patches or expensive herbal supplements.

I have to say that when I first heard these claims, I thought it sounded too good to be true. And you know the old saying “if it sounds too good to be true, it is.”

Still, I was intrigued and decided to get the program to see what it’s all about. This Quit Smoking Right Now review tells you what I found.

Quit Smoking Right Now came into being when a noted Internet entrepreneur, Rick Beneteau, met with therapist Rick Saruna. Rick S’s undergraduate training was in business and psychology. He’s been an ongoing student of psychology and human potential, with certifications and training in a laundry list of personal development methods, including NLP, the Emotional Freedom Technique, Reiki, energy psychology, timeline therapy, the Silva Method and still others.

Smokers Save Money and Get Healthier

Saving money and getting healthier must certainly rank in most people’s top 10 list, not only smokers’. I’m surprised more people aren’t smoking, especially with America still stuck in the quagmire of a recession, unemployment squeaking up close to 10% (an indicator of a depression), and a stimulus plan from our Administration that can only cause greater inflation and a huge tax burden for future generations. I offer this article as a light-hearted, potentially useful post to cheer up an otherwise dreary economic outlook.

Being as I’m heavily involved with the barter industry and saving my clients thousands of dollars via my Merchants Barter Exchange companies, I’m always on the lookout for helpful tips and suggestions for people to become more efficient and save money. I’ve read many money-saving tips online, some ranging from very useful, all the way to the ridiculous. I’ll let you decide which are which! Read more…

Southern African Problem – Smoker’s Addiction that is Taken for a Ride by Inventors

Smoking has its innovations, however, hardly you hear a smoker who still likes what they are doing – smoking. I bet smoking behavior has its own stages as starters may not like dagga and other strong leaves. Even when you try warning them of the dangers of smoking, they’d still want to do it. It is surprising how people behave when warned of hazards in their practices. You’ll find the obese eating chocolates and cake, the diabetics having some salty snacks, youth engaging in unprotected premarital sex, students not studying for exams, managers embezzling funds, etc. Its not surprising that despite millions spent on trying to control the HIV/Aids pandemic, people still have unprotected casual sex.

In my post ‘Beware of Some Business Marketing Tricks’, I put upfront a good but simple tool of how you can guard against participating or acquiring nicely advertised yet deadly products. Deadly in this case is more about the consequences as opposed to literal death. Smoking is one problem that not only affect the person that does it but also people around them, yet Inventors continue to bring smoking catalysts into the market. Read more…

Cocaine Addiction Symptoms and Signs

This notorious white powder that cocaine is, has its origins in leaves derived from the South American coca plant. Leaves that were being freely used by the Mayans for their stimulating qualities became known to Europe following Spain’s conquest of that continent.

Described as a stimulant, cocaine can be ingested in many ways, be it smoking, injection into the veins, or what is called snorting via the nose. No matter how it is consumed, its effects of this highly addictive drug are the same. However, it is known that no fewer than 90 percent of the people who use it do so occasionally; it is only the remaining 10 percent that are known to be addicts, or those who use it at a frequency that is equal to or exceeds once a week.

Effects of cocaine addiction: In the short run, the effects a cocaine addict feels on the body are unreasonable irritability, excitability to the extreme, uncontrollable restlessness and difficulty in sleeping. In the next state, the cocaine addict experiences fretfulness, anxiety even when there is no reason for it and importantly, delusions in the sensory perceptions and a feeling that insects crawl on the surface of the skin.

What is Really in a Cigarette…

In many instances, quitting smoking is just so much easier when you become aware of the ugly contents of the cigarette itself. Yes, I mean chemical content. Did you know that cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing (carcinogenic) compounds and 400 other toxins?? These include nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, as well as formaldehyde, ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, arsenic, and DDT.

We know that nicotine is highly addictive and smoke containing nicotine is inhaled into the lungs, where nicotine reaches your brain in just 6 seconds. In small doses nicotine acts as a stimulant to the brain but in large doses, it’s a depressant, inhibiting the flow of signals between nerve cells. Nicotine in the bloodstream acts to make the smoker feel calm. When you smoke a cigarette, the amount of tar inhaled into the lungs increases, and the last puff contains more than twice as much tar as the first puff. Carbon monoxide makes it harder for red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. Most of the chemicals inhaled in cigarette smoke stay in the lungs. The more you inhale, the better it feels—and the greater the damage to your lungs. Read more…

Why do smokers find it hard to quit smoking? This is because the habit is really addictive. Those who have tried to quit before find it irritable when they don’t have a cigarette to puff. This is because of the nicotine in the cigarette. Smoking is not just a habit but and addiction.

Nicotine withdrawal is what causing the anxiety and irritability when unable to have a smoke. Nicotine instantly goes to the brain when smoking. While the nicotine is filling the brain it sends out a chemical dopamine giving a feeling of enjoyment and tranquility. This feeling is irresistible to the body. When the dopamine level drops this is the start of nicotine withdrawal that will make you get bad-tempered. The nicotine makes your body to crave for more of it and will make you to keep smoking.
