Ways To Quit Smoking - Separate The BS From The Truth

by Alan B. Densky, CH

States throughout the country have curtailed smoking in public areas. Hospitals have declared their work environments to be smoke-free, and are punishing workers who smoke at work. Persons who smoke brave bad weather and rain, sleet or snow, and smoke away as hurriedly as they are able so that they can return to work.    In some cities, smoking has become as controversial as drug addiction. Since the public has become so educated about stop smoking benefits, a significant number are doing their best to identify ways to quit smoking.   Smoking habits consist of three elements:

1. Smoking for relaxation and pleasure is about 45 percent of the reason that people continue to smoke.

2. People also smoke because they unconsciously associate agreeable environments or behaviors with cigarettes. Then, when people find themselves in these situations, they desire a cigarette. One example of this is when a person strongly associates drinking coffee with smoking a cigarette. Every time they get another cup of coffee, they strongly crave a cigarette. This makes up about 45% of the habit.

3. People smoke because they develop a physical addiction to Nicotine. This element is approximately 10 percent of the smoking habit. When people quit smoking, all of the Nicotine is gone from their bodies after about three days!

A variety of methods are available to assist people learn ways to quit smoking. One particularly inexpensive way to quit smoking, which is reimbursed through the majority of insurance agencies, is the nicotine patch. Easy to apply, each patch is worn for one day and can be easily hidden beneath a person's clothing. The drawback to these patches, however, is that patches are not very beneficial. Because patches only deal with the physiological addiction, which accounts for just 10% of the habit, only about seven percent of the people who use this method will succeed.

One Way to Beat Stress: Arrive Early!

by Mary Gardner

I’m so excited that I have discovered this secret today. It’s something that I promise will reduce the stress level in your lives. It’s easy, convenient and all you have to do is plan: THE NIGHT BEFORE!.   Today was the third day of school for my son Jeremy. Today we were among the very first people at school. Every single day, the kids line up in the parking lot at the school with their teachers. At 7:55am, the principal, Mrs. Katie Walsh, directs the students in The Lord’s Prayer, and the Pledge of Allegiance. It’s a wonderful tradition and unites the school every single day.

Today, because Jeremy was the first boy in his class to arrive, he got to be the line leader! Now, if you know anything about kindergarten, The LINE Leader is a VERY special thing to be. It’s the first person in line. It’s the leader. It’s the HEAD HONCHO! And today, Jeremy was the line leader! That made him feel special and I know this because he told the teacher that he was the FIRST person in the class to get there this morning. He was quite proud of that fact.

Yesterday though? A totally different story! Yesterday Jeremy and I were running across the parking lot to get there before the class went inside. We completely missed the prayer AND the Pledge and I was rushing him so much he started crying and nearly sat down in the middle of the parking lot. When we got there, I pretty much threw him in line, kissed him goodbye and both of us were nervous with adrenaline as we said goodbye. Whew! We JUST made it. The alternative was the go to the principals’ office to sign him in. I just can’t see me going to the PRINCIPAL’S office during the first week of school. Especially since I was NEVER sent to the Principal’s office in my whole 12 years of school! (Yes, believe it or not. I was one of the GOOD GIRLS!)
