How to quit smoking
I smoke around 15 cigarettes a day. Though I do not have any health issue, I am planning to quit. I made a few unsuccessful attempts in the past, so I think without any medication I won't be able to quit. I am looking for a suggestion of what kind medicines help and is there any particular type of doctor that I need to consult with.

Bravo! If you can think of it, you can do it. Stopping smoking all at once sometimes can be tough due to which many people try and fail again and again. To intiate the quitting process you need to taper down the number of sticks smoked. Make a proper schedule and keep yourself as much busy as you can so that you have to make special efforts to go for smoking. Try to stay calm and cheerful in every situation, stress and upset mood is one of the basic reason people rush towards smoking and feel relaxed after smoke.
Next Steps
Switch to lighter percentage cigarettes or ayurvedic cigarettes which contain very less or no tabacco at all. At least you will be keeping your body away from nicotine as much as you can.
Health Tips
Make a thumb rule: Drink a glassful of water before and after every stick you smoke. It will start cleansing your body from today itself. For more counselling contact us online or visit us at Ayubless Ayurveda.

When an urge to use tobacco strikes, remember that although it may be intense, it will probably pass within five to 10 minutes whether or not you smoke a cigarette or take a dip of chewing tobacco. Each time you resist a tobacco craving, you're one step closer to stopping tobacco use for good. Here are some ways to help you resist the urge to smoke *. Try nicotine replacement therapy Short-acting nicotine replacement therapies — such as nicotine gum, lozenges, nasal sprays or inhalers — can help you overcome intense cravings. *. Avoid triggers Identify your trigger situations and have a plan in place to avoid them entirely or get through them without smoking . Don't set yourself up for a smoking relapse. If you usually smoked while you talked on the phone, for instance, keep a pen and paper nearby to occupy yourself with doodling rather than smoking. *. Delay If you feel like you're going to give in to your smoke craving, tell yourself that you must first wait 10 more minutes — and then do something to distract yourself for that period of time. *. Chew on it Give your mouth something to do to fight a smoking  craving. Chew on sugarless gum or hard candy, or munch on raw carrots, celery, nuts or sunflower seeds — something crunchy and satisfying. *. Don't have 'just one' You might be tempted to have just one cigarette to satisfy a tobacco craving. But don't fool yourself into believing that you can stop there. More often than not, having just one leads to another— and you may end up using it  again. *. Get physical Physical activity can help distract you from tobacco cravings and reduce their intensity. Even short burst of physical activity — such as running up and down the stairs a few times — can make a tobacco craving go away. Get out for a walk or jog. If you're stuck at home or the office, try squats, deep knee bends, pushups, running in place, or walking up and down a set of stairs. If physical activity doesn't interest you, try prayer, needlework, woodwork or journaling. Or do chores for distraction, such as vacuuming or filing paperwork. *. Practice relaxation techniques Smoking may have been your way to deal with stress. Resisting a tobacco craving can itself be stressful. Take the edge off stress by practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep-breathing exercises, muscle relaxation, yoga, visualization, massage or listening to calming music. *. Call for reinforcements Touch base with a family member, friend or support group member for help in your effort to resist a tobacco craving. Chat on the phone, go for a walk together, share a few laughs, or get together to commiserate about your cravings. *. Go online for support Join an online stop-smoking program. Or read a quitter's blog and post encouraging thoughts for someone else who might be struggling with tobacco cravings. Learn from how others have handled their tobacco cravings. *. Remind yourself of the benefits Write down or say out loud the reasons you want to stop smoking and resist tobacco cravings. These might include: Feeling betterGetting healthierSparing your loved ones from secondhand smokeSaving money Remember, trying something to beat the urge is always better than doing nothing. And each time you resist a tobacco craving, you're one step closer to being totally tobacco-free. Good luck

Distract yourself. Do the dishes, turn on the TV, take a shower, or call a friend. The activity doesn’t matter as long as it gets your mind off smoking. Remind yourself why you quit. Focus on your reasons for quitting, including the health benefits (lowering your risk for heart disease and lung cancer, for example), improved appearance, money you’re saving, and enhanced self-esteem. Get out of a tempting situation. Where you are or what you’re doing may be triggering the craving. If so, a change of scenery can make all the difference. Reward yourself. Reinforce your victories. Whenever you triumph over a craving, give yourself a reward to keep yourself motivated. Find an oral substitute – Keep other things around to pop in your mouth when cravings hit. Try mints, carrot or celery sticks, gum, or sunflower seeds. Or suck on a drinking straw. Keep your hands busy – Squeeze balls, pencils, or paper clips are good substitutes to satisfy that need for tactile stimulation. Brush your teeth – The just-brushed, clean feeling can help banish cigarette cravings. Drink water – Slowly drink a large glass of water. Not only will it help the craving pass, but staying hydrated helps minimize the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Get active – Go for a walk, do some jumping jacks or pushups, try some yoga stretches, or run around the block. Try to relax – Do something that calms you down, such as taking a warm bath, meditating, reading a book, or practicing deep breathing exercises Go somewhere smoking is not permitted – Step into a public building, store, mall, coffee shop, or movie theatre, for example. Deep breathe. Breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of three and exhale through your mouth for a count of three. Visualize your lungs filling with fresh air.
