The most important thing in getting rid of any bad habit is your own desire. It turns out that if you do not want to quit smoking, you simply will not succeed.
Think well: whether you need it, you can either hold out without a nicotine sticks, or you just decided to work under the pressure of close people who regularly remind you that smoking is evil.

With motivation, we will help you! Probably not every smoker can imagine how harmful a cigarette is and how health will change without nicotine abuse. Let's take a closer look at this.

Effective ways
How to stop smoking on your own forever at home? Fortunately, in our time to quit smoking is very easy. The benefit of a variety of techniques there is enough. Choose any and start to change your life for the better!
Hypnosis
This method is rightly called one of the most effective. Hypnosis is perceived by each person individually, but the result of it is aimed at all for one goal - to get rid of the source of the problem.
Some heavy smokers rush to the reception of a hypnotist with a special diploma confirming his skills, others, saving time, watch the specialist’s actions online, while others buy the famous book by Alain Carr "Easy way to quit smoking".
Many consider the last technique doubtful, but in vain! It really helped a lot of smokers, and after reading the book, they never again returned to addiction.
Acupuncture
In the fight against smoking, all means are good and many are ready to even resort to acupuncture. "Nonsense" - you say? And no! Nicotine addiction is a reflex that occurs in the head, and acupuncture can suppress it significantly.
The result is noticeable after only one session: the desire to smoke almost disappears. And then the matter is yours. The most difficult thing is to endure the first week, and then the cigarette will no longer be necessary.
Nicotine patch
This means a new generation. You can buy a nicotine patch officially at the pharmacy. This technique has one minus - it does not act immediately. To recover from addiction, you must complete a course of 8 to 12 weeks.
During this period, the patch should be worn regularly. No contraindications, the almost complete absence of side effects make this method available and very common in our days.
Chewing gum
This technique is aimed at causing aversion to smoking. We advise smokers not to abuse this way. This is because the effect of chewing gum is minimal, and the price for it is quite high. Quit smoking, thanks to chewing gum, it is possible, but only with a strong desire of the smoker.
Tablets, sprays, teas
The list of drugs and medicines that can help a person to quit smoking once and for all is very long. It is important that such products have special certificates confirming the quality of products. Pay close attention to this!
