Electronic Cigarette Replacement – Preparing Your Mind Body and Soul

Electronic Cigarette Replacement

Okay, we all know that smoking is deleterious to your health, can alienate you from friends and family and serves to wreck devastation on your personal finances! This is truly a dirty filthy habit with zero upside. And as anyone, who is trying to quit, one of the most frustrating challenges that any human being can face. It’s easy to overeat, and putting on those extra pounds seems to only take a few days. However shedding unwanted pounds can take months of disciplined effort, calculating caloric intake versus caloric burn. Smoking is no different, becoming addicted happens very rapidly, yet can take a very long time to overcome, and relapse is very common. The difference between food addiction and nicotine is one of necessity- for everyone must eat. However to maintain an ideal body weight we must learn to eat to live, and not, live to eat.

The first thing to prepare is your mind! Our minds are powerful and one needs only to look at the Golden gate Bridge or the Eiffel Tower to realize that what the mind of man can conceive he can achieve. Quitting smoking is no different than building a complex building. We must first formulate a plan-we must write that plan down-and we must convert that plan into workable drawings. To prepare the mind we need to set a date that we desire to quit smoking, actually a challenge if you will, and be resolute. As a medical doctor who teaches advanced behavioral modification techniques I urge you to take that step and write down on a piece of paper your desire to quit smoking and your need for the best plan to achieve that goal. Then pick a night to program a dream, and by that I mean simply self talk your desire to quit smoking and the need for the best method that would suit you as the answer to that dream. Tell yourself that upon waking you will have the answer. Believe it or not your conscious and unconscious mind has stored within it all the anti-smoking programs, potions and lotions that had been advertised over the years. The answer for the one that would best suit you is already there just for the asking.

The next thing to prepare is your body! Start eating as healthy as possible limiting your intake of all sugar, caffeine, and alcohol! Of course as a medical doctor, and if possible, I recommend no sugar, no alcohol, no caffeine, but this is not necessary in this journey of recovery from nicotine. Start exercising very moderately as this will begin to condition your body to produce its own feel-good chemicals. These feel-good chemicals are germane to your recovery as the nicotine is removed from your system a void will be created in your brain and the best way to fill this void is with natural endorphins produced through exercise and proper nutrition.

The next thing to prepare is your soul/spirit! Let’s face it smoking is a self centered endeavor and serves to bring pleasure (although artificially) to no one but yourself. Becoming spiritually fit is a matter of love flowing outward to other people. The greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. You see the truth is we already love ourselves far too much and the mystery behind the truth of these words is that when we allow our love to flow out and serve our fellow man the desires of our heart are given to us by our heavenly father. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and his spirit wants nothing more than a healthy and happy body. Prayers of this nature are always answered. Let the good Lord know that you want to quit smoking and you need his help. Choose quality uplifting spiritual materials to read and stay away from TV and magazines that glorify and or advertise smoking products.

I recommend treating nicotine like any other addictive drug in regards to withdraw. It is important to minimize debilitating withdrawal effects by reducing every three days the amount of the given addictive drug. With narcotics, this would translate to approximately 10% of the existing does every three days. Cigarettes on the other hand are a inconsistent delivery system of nicotine, therefore how many puffs, how deeply inhaled, and how long the smoke is retained within the lungs, all allow for an inconsistent absorption. So the good rule of thumb would be to reduce the amount of cigarette you smoked per day by 10% until you’re down to just a few cigarettes a day. Your nicotine levels will now be very low, greatly reducing the discomfort of the three to five days that it will take for the withdraw, and before, technically, you are nicotine free. However remember being nicotine free is only the beginning of quitting smoking. The real work becomes staying nicotine free after the withdrawal process has ended. You are now in the realm of mental effects, and this is where the rubber really meets the road. Electronic Cigarette Replacement

It is important to rid your home, office and car of all smoking related paraphernalia as well as avoiding all people places and things where smoking was encouraged. I highly recommend you hang with a crowd of non-smokers as this will make long-term freedom that much easier. Your church or synagogue is a great place for this kind of support, and I encourage you to let everyone know that you have quit smoking and you need their help, their prayers and support! If you’ve never done it before, I would highly recommend you consider fasting along with your prayer on a regular basis and with spiritual consultation from your rabbi or pastor.

Don’t ever underestimate not only the power of prayer, but also the power of praying people! I guarantee you will be filled with physical energy that was previously being sapped by this ravenous chemical. A little exercise, a better diet, and the absence of nicotine in your system will find you with an increased energy that needs to be channeled in the flow, outward from yourself! Resolve to volunteer your time, talent and treasure to those less fortunate than your self and make sure to drop that extra money saved (from quitting) into the offering plate. These disciplines need to become a way of life, a tobacco free, addiction free, life that exemplifies service to others. Before you know it you will find yourself a steward of the good, and the blessings that have been bestowed upon you from birth, no longer serving yourself and desires that had become unhealthy and unproductive.

These techniques can be used and applied while adhering to any of the smoking cessation programs that are already on the market and available from many venues. Hopefully the program that you choose was a result of your programmed dream-as this is the best way to choose a method that will work for you. And always remember that the programs are there to assist you in a decision that you need to make with resolute conviction putting your hand on the plow and never looking back.

Electronic Cigarette Brands — What Are Your Options?

Electronic cigarettes are slowly making their way into popular culture; especially with the advent of prominent figures, including celebrities, being seen walking around smoking these so-called “smoke anywhere” cigarettes. And why not, electronic cigarettes are a good way to kick the habit.

Part of what makes e-cigarettes a top choice for those trying to quit smoking is that it still has that cigarette-in-hand (and mouth) feeling, not to mention, the “smoke.”

Because of its popularity, many companies have decided that e-cigs are the wave of the future. Today, there are a good 30 to 40 (especially in the United States) different brands of electronic cigarettes all vying for the top share in the market. Of course it will be impossible (and boring) to list all of them, so the following is a summary of some of the most widely-used.

If you have decided to go through the e-cigarette route (good for you), below are some of the products you will surely encounter in whatever review, recommendation, and conversation you come across after reading this.

The Safe Cig

The Safe Cig is a brand of the American LJR Group, LLC. They offer free shipping in the US and guarantees all orders delivered within 24 hours. Their products that mimic normal cigarette stick sizes and cigars. They offer 3 flavors for their atomized cartridges namely classic tobacco, traditional, and menthol, and 3 levels of nicotine starting from 18 mg all the way to 0 mg.

V2cigs

V2 is also a very popular brand of electronic cigarettes; they offer a number of starter kit options which may impress the wannabe e-cig smoker. Add to that, their cigs also have LED lights at the end to mimic and add to that cigarette-burn experience. Another unique thing about V2 is that they offer non-traditional candy-like flavors like cherry, vanilla, and chocolate.

Green Smoke

Green Smoke claims they are “the best electronic cigarette company on the internet.” Bold as it may be, they do offer a unique 30-day money back guarantee for any of their starter kits. They also stress on the fact that their construction is only composed of 2 components-the white part holds the battery and the “filter” part holds atomizer, nicotine pad, and cartridge which are all disposable.

blu cigs

Made exclusively by Johnson Creek, blu cigs has one of the lowest starter kits available. They also recently added a 30-day money back guarantee, plus a one year guarantee. They also offer and claim to be the only company offering a carrying case that mimics a real cigarette pack.

Question by horseman1st: Has anyone tried “Electric Cigarettes” and been able to quit smoking?
I recently purchased the Vapor 4 Life brand at 24 and 18 mg. I’m waiting for it to be delivered. Please when answering explain which brand you use and what mg.

Best answer:

Answer by Auntie Anne Arkey
I use the Firelight, which I believe is the smallest and lightest of all the e-cigs. I use 26 mg I got from a retailer who only sells juice. I totally stopped tobacco within a few weeks of using the e-cigs. I was still drawn to cigs at first, and still having a few packs, I still smoked. After that, it was pretty easy. I started using them in June, and now, I barely even puff. I have just naturally weaned off, and I had absolutely no intentions whatsoever of giving up my nicotine.

Within a few weeks of giving up tobacco, my smoker’s cough was gone and my lung power and breath improved dramatically. And, I didn’t gain any weight, which is often a big concern. I can’t rave about them enough.
