Quit Smoking: Alternative Health Solutions

The alternative health approach to smoking cessation acknowledges that smoking is a complex addiction. You smoke for numerous reasons. Some of them are emotional, while others are physical, behavioral or social. This approach will help you identify which reasons are strongest for you, and which are most likely to cause you to smoke again. You will also learn about specific alternative health remedies, which will help you deal with some of the emotional and social reasons for smoking.

Cigarette smoking is one of the most difficult addictions to break. Common quit-smoking programs often fail because they focus only on the physical nicotine addiction. In reality, smoking has emotional, social and behavioral components that are equal or greater in force to the physical addiction itself. Many smokers have such difficulty quitting because they are not taking these other elements of the smoking habit into account.

This is why the patch and nicotine gum do not work for many people. It's also why so many smokers have had several unsuccessful attempts at quitting. The emotional, social and behavioral factors of smoking have to be acknowledged and addressed. Otherwise, you take the risk of being unable to resist smoking when those particular circumstances and issues arise.

This mini-book will break down the smoking habit using a fully holistic approach, identifying the physical, emotional, social and behavioral components you need to be aware of to successfully quit. You will be able to see how these various issues pertain to you, and how they may have interfered with your desire to quit smoking. Everyone has a different style of smoking and different reasons for smoking. The following pages will help you clearly identify what your underlying reasons are, so you can develop a personalized quit smoking plan that will work.

With that said, let's get started!
