Quit Smoking: Be a part of a Great Worldwide Smokeout

Online, November 11, 2009 (Newswire.com) - November 19th 2009 is the day for the "Great American Smokeout," an annual event started in 1977 by the American Cancer Society. Given the smoking bans proliferating all around the world in response to the immense health damage caused by the minority who smoke, maybe it's time it was renamed the "Great Worldwide Smokeout." If you're a smoker, why don't YOU join the smokeout by making November 19th 2009 your "quit-day" to stop smoking. Here's some time-tested "U-QUIT" quit smoking steps.

Understand yourself: Examine exactly WHY you want to quit smoking. Are you sick & tired of - the smell, the coughing, the shortness of breath, the disapproval of others, the ever-increasing costs? Are you concerned about your future health outcomes, or the health of those around you? Defining just how strongly you feel to quit smoking will develop the right mind-set - to see through your quit smoking decision, & build your resolve.

Quantify your quitting: Set a firm date (November 19th - with millions of others?) for your smokeout, a date close enough to be realistic, yet allowing enough time to prepare. Are you going to quit smoking for - 1 day, 1 week, 1 month? Or are you going to become a non-smoker? Plan activities from your quit-day+ that do not allow for smoking. Also plan a celebration for your success: how will you reward yourself?

Upgrade your support: Find a quit smoking buddy, or even start a quit smoking smokeout group (workmates/ friends/ neighbors/ relatives, etc.) Discuss your plans, your strategies: what, when, how, etc. Tell everyone you know about your quit smoking smokeout.

Invigorate your body: One of the best ways to detoxify your body to help your quit smoking smokeout is by increasing your intake of clean water. Plan to drink six to eight glasses of water every day, to help your body remove the toxic effects of nicotine. Start an exercise program, preferably outdoors. Be sure to get some "fresh-air" every day. Brush your teeth often. Start today.

Take control (of your body): your biggest asset in your quit smoking smokeout is your mind; when you do quit smoking, you will experience at least once your body craving nicotine (i.e., withdrawal symptoms; these tend to peak between 24-72 hours from the outset, & are usually no longer than 3 minutes at one time) Plan to defeat this body craving by allowing your mind to "observe" the action, while resolving to let it pass. Your mind has chosen to quit smoking, your body now has to get used to that.

Copy this article to your friends & co-quitters, then post in a conspicuous place. Congratulations ! On taking this valuable step. In just a short time both your body & your finances will be healthier - you'll feel rejuvenated, with a stronger sense of control & self-worth.
