About Smoking You smoke, and have difficulty quitting, because of a very strong learned habit. If you have tried to quit previously, you may have used a nicotine replacement (e.g., nicotine patch, gum, etc.), medication, or herbal concoction to ease withdrawal from your “addiction” to nicotine. Nicotine addiction might explain why you crave one cigarette after another, but nicotine is gone from your body 72 hours after you smoke your last cigarette. The reason you have difficulty quitting is that you are not addressing your smoking habit. The Stop That! Program will teach you how to eliminate your habit and become a non-smoker, guaranteed!

About Quitting Drug companies tell us that nicotine is “fiercely addictive”. They claim it is more addictive than heroin or cocaine. Not true! They emphasize nicotine addiction to frighten smokers, so they will buy their expensive and dangerous products (e.g., the patch, gum, inhalers, Zyban, etc.) to ease the discomfort of nicotine withdrawal. You did not become a smoker after smoking one or two “fiercely addicting” cigarettes. If you are like most smokers, you started smoking in one or a very few places. You then smoked in a few more places, and then in a few more. As you smoked more and more, smoking became a learned habit wherever you smoked. The Stop That! Program will teach you how to break your smoking habit, all without medications, nicotine, herbs, counseling, or hypnosis. It is guaranteed, and the Program will not hurt you physically or financially. Behavior problems or other concerns about children? Visit another of Dr. Dmitruk's websites:

Other Approaches 90% of smokers trying to quit keep right on smoking, no matter what they try. Zyban kills people, and estimates are that 1 in 1000 smokers using Zyban have seizures. Smokers using nicotine replacements risk heart attacks, and a variety of unpleasant side effects that are much worse than nicotine withdrawal. The next time you see an ad for the nicotine patch or gum, note that actual quit rates, or success rates, are never stated. Drug companies give smokers false hope, telling them that using their dangerous and expensive products “will almost double chances of quitting”. What the drug companies fail to tell smokers is that what is being “almost doubled” is the very low 4% or 5% rate at which smokers quit on their own each year. So, you could spend hundreds of dollars on products that can hurt or kill you, with a 90% chance you will fail and keep right on smoking. Or, you could purchase the $69.95 fully guaranteed Stop That! Program that will not hurt you physically or financially. You decide where your smoking cessation dollars are best spent! Behavior problems or other concerns about children?

Your Health Your body begins to heal itself almost immediately after you stop smoking. In the first 24 hours, blood pressure, pulse rate, and the temperature of your hands and feet will return to normal as your circulation improves. Your risk of sudden heart attack is substantially reduced. After two days, your senses of taste and smell begin returning to normal. After three days, your entire body is 100% nicotine free. Your lung capacity will begin to increase as bronchial tubes relax. In a month or two, walking and physical exertion will be easier, and your overall lung functioning will have increased an amazing 30%. After one year, your risk of a heart attack will drop to half that of a smoker. After five years or so, your risk of stroke will fall to that of someone who has never smoked. After 10 years, your risk of lung cancer, and cancer of the mouth, throat, and esophagus will be half that of a smoker. After 15 years, your risk of heart attack will be about the same as that of a person who has never smoked. Your overall risk of death after 15 years will be about the same as a person who has never smoked. Behavior problems or other concerns about children? Visit another of Dr. Dmitruk's websites:

Second Hand Smoke Smokers do not only endanger their health; they also endanger the health of their loved ones. It takes three hours to clear a room of 95% of the smoke from just one cigarette! Pregnant women exposed to cigarette smoke are more likely to have low birth weight babies who are at much greater risk for death and disease in infancy and childhood. Children of parents who smoke have a much higher incidence of asthma, allergies, bronchitis, respiratory infections, and pneumonia. Exposure to second hand smoke also results in more than 1.5 million ear infections each year. Such children often require surgeries that otherwise would not be needed (e.g., tubes, adnoidectomies, tonsillectomies, etc). Children exposed to second hand smoke have a greater incidence of school and behavior problems, and a much higher likelihood of being diagnosed to have Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder. Adults exposed to second hand smoke develop the same medical problems as smokers, although the problems develop over longer periods of time. Behavior problems or other concerns about children?
