User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is generally not recommended to use Chantix (varenicline) with nicotine patches simultaneously, as they both work on the same receptors in the brain and may increase the risk of side effects.

What causes cigarette cravings?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cigarette cravings can be caused by nicotine addiction, which alters brain chemistry and creates physical dependence. Psychological triggers, such as stress, routine, or social situations, can also contribute to cigarette cravings. Additionally, habits and associations formed over time with smoking can lead to strong cravings.

When you have quit smoking do you feel sad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Smoking stimulates the production of brain chemicals that make us feel good. As we become addicted to the nicotine, we require more and more of it simply to feel normal, and the brain produces less and less of the "feel good" chemmies, depending on the nicotine to stimulate production. When we quit, our decreased ability to manufacture them will cause us to feel depressed until our bodies are again able to produce normal levels without help.

Smoking also increases our metabolism, and stopping cause it to slow down. That, and the desire to be satisfying the oral craving for a cigarette, can cause us to gain weight. We need to go to the gym or walk or exercise in some other way. Exercising will also help reduce the depression. When we feel the need to put something in our mouth, we should chew on a toothpick or some gum.

We might gain some weight when we stop, but not to worry. It is more important that we stop smoking. After overcoming this powerful addiction, we can work on weight control at our leisure.

Can your lungs completely heal themselves as long as you quit smoking at an early age?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most people find that they are reasonably comfortable after a couple of months. The nicotine leaves your system within 24 hours, unless you are using replacement therapy (which we highly recommend -- the patch in particular, since it does not support the oral habit).

It is the readjustment of your brain to living without foreign stimulation that takes a long time. Experts believe that it never completely recovers, because a very few cigarettes years later can result in a full-blown addiction very rapidly.

There are habits that take a long time to get over, as well, such as reaching for a cigarette at certain times: on the phone, after a meal, with a drink, while driving, etc. This writer was appalled to find himself reaching toward his breast pocket for a smoke during an argument with his wife -- more than 10 years after he had completely quit.

Perhaps the most important advice we can give is to keep in mind that EVERY reason you come up with for having a smoke is simply an excuse to feed your addiction. There is no good reason. The weight gain can be dealt with by exercise, and depression and other emotional symptoms, if present, can be supported by Nicotine Anonymous and counseling if needed.

How do you leave smoking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are different ways of quit smoking.

Cold turkey (no outside help). About 90% of people who try to quit smoking do it without outside support -- no aids, therapy, or medicine. Although most people try to quit this way, it's not the most effective or successful method. Only between 4% and 7% are able to quit by doing it alone. Behavioral therapy This involves working with a counselor to find ways not to smoke. Together, you'll find your triggers (such as emotions or situations that make you want to smoke) and make a plan to get through the cravings. Now it can be done without a psychologist. I was reading about an app called "Quit Genius" in the Evening Standard. It's essentially a personal psychologist in your pocket and is like the Headspace for smoking and uses scientifically proven techniques o change the way you think about smoking. It is awesome.

Does nicotine by itself as in patches or gum weaken the immune system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Smoking affects your immune system because when you smoke, not enough oxygen is able to enter your lungs, which can lead to lung cancer; lung cancer eventually leads to death If not cared for properly. Smoking also kills enzymes and causes your immune system to weaken & when the res blood cells are in need of nourishment, [white blood cells were killed for smoking too much] there are no WBC's to aid them.

Reasons to quit smoking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You should quit smoking because It is the single most preventable cause of early death in the world. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, and chronic lung disease. Each day 1200 people die from smoking in America. Cigarette smoking causes 87% of lung cancer and contributes to more than 400000 deaths each year in the United States.

Quitting smoking saves money. A pack a day smoker, who pays $8 per pack, can expect to save around $2900 per year. IF someone walked up to you and said "I will give you $3000 if you quit smoking for a year" would you say in reply "Nice- I will try!" If so, go look in a mirror and say it to yourself "I will give myself $3000 if I quit for a year", because if you quit, that is exactly what you will get.

How long does it take for cigarette smoke to get out of your system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the individual and how much they smoke or inhale. A person is just at high risk if they live in a city full of smog such as L.A., Hong Kong and other Asian cities. If one wants to test it just take a white paper towel in the morning and clean your car windshield (if the car is parked outside) and you'll be shocked at how dirty it is and that's what you are breathing!
