Quit Smoking - Get The Smoke Out Of Your Brain

If you are a chain smoker, you know how it?s hard to quit. But maybe you are even not willing to quit. You could even think that smoking gives you pleasure, relax and helps you to concentrate.

Well, if this is the case, then it?s time to get the smoke out of your brain and your thoughts out of the smoke, such that you can see things clearly...

Pleasure?

Ok, probably you find smoking pleasant. The point is that this pleasure is fake, as many other things relating to smoking: in fact this pleasure relies on giving your brain its expected drug dose. Of course this drug is nicotine.

As addiction increases, you already know that to regain the same level of experience of the previous one you need a higher dose, and this makes the vicious cycle perpetuating.

Relax?

You probably find smoking relaxing. The addiction issue on pleasure applies also to relaxation: if you are a smoker and are not giving your brain the requisite dose, you are going to experience agitation.

The feeling of easiness you feel after going for another cigarette is just a side effect of addiction to nicotine, which intoxicates your mind and makes you relax for a short period of time.

If you were experiencing restlessness, this quick relax will make you feel much better and your mind will start thinking that smoking is your best friend.

Concentration?

Many smokers think that smoking is going to help them to concentrate. Well, there is no medical support for this; instead, the contrary is true: a non smoker has usually a higher concentration power than a smoker.

The simple scientific fact is this: smoking will block arteries capacity and this will reduce the supply of oxygen to the brain. You can easily understand that this lack of oxygen will cause lack of concentration.

The psychological perception that smoking will increase you concentration is just a perception. It comes from the same addictive vicious cycle of pleasure and relaxation: addiction makes things for you uneasy, fulfilling the addiction makes you feel better in a short time and you think that fulfilling the addiction has a positive effect on you.

Back To The Present

Fulfilling the addiction cycle is not a solution. If you want to experience real pleasure, relax and concentration, you have to quit smoking.

Taking the smoke out of your mind is an essential step in your physical and psychological health. And, of course, the starting point is changing your habit.
