I have been smoking for 15 years and have quit smoking for 4 months, but I still feel bad.

If friends are in a hurry, go to Taobao and search for stores with addresses in Beijing, or go to pharmacies, including Wangfujing Mall in Beijing!

The best way to quit smoking is to get up every morning and take a few mouthfuls of white radish. If you stick to it every day, the cigarette will feel tasteless and you won’t want to smoke anymore. Chewing gum when you really want to suck it is very effective. Because cigarettes contain tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide, they are deposited in the lungs when inhaled. I have personally seen the lungs of people who were smokers during their lifetime. They are all black, and there are holes one after another. If you want to keep yourself in good health, it is best not to smoke.

Here are some relevant knowledge for your father

1. Start quitting smoking now, quit smoking completely or gradually reduce the number of smoking. Usually, you can succeed in 3 to 4 months. . 2. Throw away all cigarettes, lighters, matches and ashtrays. 3. Avoid participating in places or activities where you are accustomed to smoking. 4. Drink water, eat fruit or take a walk after a meal to get rid of the thought of having a cigarette after a meal. 5. When the urge to smoke comes, take deep breaths immediately or chew sugar-free gum. Avoid using snacks instead of cigarettes, otherwise it will cause blood sugar to rise and the body to become overweight. 6. Resolutely refuse the temptation of cigarettes, and remind yourself often that smoking one more cigarette will ruin your plan to quit smoking. First of all, quitting smoking mainly depends on your own persistence. Otherwise, even if you successfully quit smoking now, you will still become addicted to smoking if you refuse cigarettes to all your friends in the future. Is it possible to refuse the first cigarette after quitting smoking? If you smoke a small amount (less than 1 pack) and have a short smoking history (less than 3 years), it is recommended to rely on perseverance to quit smoking. During the period of smoking cessation, pay attention to many bottles of boiled water, exercise more, or travel to the wild to distract your attention, and learn to refuse to smoke. A puff of smoke. If you have severe physical dependence, or you are worried that quitting smoking will be too painful or affect your work or driving safety, it is recommended to buy some auxiliary products. If you have difficulty quitting smoking, how do you choose a smoking cessation product? Due to the addictive nature of nicotine, it is generally more difficult to quit smoking if you have smoked for more than three years. The longer you smoke, the greater your craving and the harder it is to quit smoking. In order to effectively and easily quit smoking in a short period of time, many people who quit smoking will seek help from some smoking cessation products. However, due to the wide variety of smoking cessation products on the market and the rampant false advertising, people are at a loss as to what to do. In order to quit smoking, many people spend a lot of money and buy more than one smoking cessation product, but still do not quit, or relapse after quitting. People are faced with a wide variety of smoking cessation products and are at a loss as to which one to choose. Is the product good? At present, smoking cessation products can be divided into three categories according to their smoking cessation principles: The first category of smoking cessation products uses a non-smoking method to replenish nicotine into the body. Due to the addictive nature of nicotine, smokers must replenish a certain amount of nicotine into the body through smoking every day to meet the smoker's needs. By gradually reducing the amount of nicotine supplements, the ultimate goal of quitting smoking can be achieved. Its advantage is that it no longer pollutes the environment and does not cause passive smoking problems. Such products include smoking cessation candy (Lickray), smoking cessation gum, and various nicotine smoking cessation patches. The characteristics of the product are that it takes a long time to quit smoking (1-3 months), it is difficult to get rid of addiction quickly and the cost is high. This method was first adopted by European and American countries and is currently being phased out. There are many similar products in China, but there are few independent brands that can last. Especially after the nicotine incident such as smoking (smoking method to supplement nicotine), the negative impact is greater. The principle of smoking cessation in the second type of smoking cessation products is that the nervous system is sensitive to the smell of cigarettes through the action of drugs. When you smell the smell of cigarettes, you will feel uncomfortable, have a headache or even feel nauseated, which will cause a strong aversion and make you no longer able to smoke cigarettes. However, morbid reactions will still occur after stopping smoking, and it is easy to relapse. Such products include smoking cessation liquid, smoking cessation perfume, smoking cessation oral spray, smoking cessation mouthwash, etc. The cost ranges from high to low. It is more suitable for people with little addiction to cigarettes, but has little effect on people with severe physical dependence. There are also neurological alternative drugs such as amphipropion, which require a doctor's prescription because they have certain side effects. The principle of smoking cessation in the third category of smoking cessation products is to accelerate the decomposition and release of nicotine accumulated in the body through the action of drugs, while restoring the normal acid-base balance and blood sugar levels in the body, fundamentally eliminating the craving for cigarettes. This is the research and development direction of traditional Chinese medicine smoking cessation products in my country, and it is also a new generation product with the most scientific principles. The representative products developed earlier in China are cigarettes for quitting smoking prepared from compound compounds such as ginseng, polygala, mint, Houttuynia cordata, cloves, etc. There are also compound smoking cessation lozenges and compound smoking cessation teas favored by Hong Kong and Taiwan stars. Such products can solve the problem of smoking cessation. There are many problems that cannot be solved with nicotine supplementation alone, and addiction is eliminated quickly, and physiological metabolism is restored quickly, so quitting smoking is easier and less expensive, and it is gradually favored by smokers. Especially cigarette-shaped products are more in line with the psychology of smokers. This method is more suitable for people with severe physical dependence, but is less effective for people who smoke less. Then there are laser smoking cessation and acupuncture smoking cessation that have appeared in the past two years. Due to the short time, little feedback information, and inconvenience, it is impossible to make an objective evaluation. Therefore, when choosing, you should choose a product that suits you based on your own characteristics (smoking volume, smoking age, physical health, perseverance, nature of work, and economic status). When purchasing, it is best to purchase from regular pharmacies or professional institutions, and choose products with quality assurance and after-sales service. For example: What should I do if I can’t quit after using it correctly? Are there commitments and guarantees? Never buy it in street markets or TV shopping (it’s not that the product is good, but that the advertising is sensational, which I find unreliable).

I used the traditional Chinese medicine smoking cessation product Yixing to quit smoking 8 years ago. Since then, I have been engaged in professional smoking cessation work. I made a comprehensive comparison of the products on the market in terms of principles, effects, safety, convenience, cost, and comfort when quitting smoking. For people who smoke heavily and have severe physical dependence to completely quit smoking (rather than superficial disgust or quitting smoking in a short period of time), I still think that Yi Xing's smoking cessation principles are more scientific and reliable. It is also very simple to use. Just replace smoking with cigarettes and add plenty of boiled water during the period (avoid drinking strong tea). Generally, you can quit smoking in six days. During the period of quitting smoking, you will be in good spirits and will have no uncomfortable physiological reactions such as quitting smoking syndrome. It also has a good effect on coughing and clearing the lungs

Generate a natural physiological disgust, which is the most effective at this time; secondly, read more books about the harmful effects of smoking and listen to some radio broadcasts in this regard to make yourself fear the consequences of smoking and enhance your psychological and emotional well-being. Motivation to quit smoking; Thirdly, when you want to smoke, you can use something else to replace it and divert your interest, such as chewing gum, cracking melon seeds, drinking tea or coffee, etc.; In addition, you should avoid being tempted by smoking when you first start to quit smoking.

Quit smoking and alcohol at the same time In addition, Canadian scientists have discovered through research that both nicotine and alcohol can cause the body to release dopamine.
