24Ways to Stop Smoking Cigarettes

For all the intense efforts to reduce smoking in America over the past two decades, the progress has not been stellar。 Today one in four men and one in five women still smoke.

For those who never smoked, this is a befuddling fact.Don't smokers understand that cigarettes are the number one killer in America,that they dramatically increase risk for heart disease, stroke, cancer, high blood pressure, and almost every other health concern, small or large?How could any habit be worth thisTruth is,, most smokers do understand. They also understand the huge financial toll of smoking, with a pack of 20 cigarettes costing $7 in some areas 。

Then why do millions still smoke?In good part, because the nicotine in cigarettes is highly addictive. In good part, because smoking provides psychological comfort to some people. Perhaps most of all, because quitting is so hard.

Researchers and businesses have responded strongly to the last point。 Never have there been so many tools, systems, and programs available for quitting smoking. And with every month that passes, there is more research showing the benefits of quitting, and the drawbacks of not quitting.

So if you smoke, consider again whether it is time, finally, to quit. If yes, you'll need to think through the best approach, perhaps working with your doctor or an expert. But the following 25 tips will help you succeed.

1.Make an honest list of all the things you like about smoking. Draw a line down the center of a piece of paper and write them on one side; on the other side make a list of all the things you dislike, such as how it can interfere with your health, work, family。If you are brave enough, get feedback from family and friends about things they don't like about your use of cigarettes. When the negative side outweighs the positive side, you are ready to quit.

2. Then make another list of why quitting won't be easy. Be thorough, even if the list gets long and discouraging. Here's the important part: Next to each entry, list one or more options for overcoming that challenge. For instance, one item might be: "Nicotine is an addictive drug." Your option might be: "Try a nicotine replacement alternative." Another reason might be: "Smoking helps me deal with stress." Your option might be: "Take five-minute walks instead." The more you anticipate the challenges to quitting, and their solutions, the better your chance of success.

3. Set a quit date and write a "quit date contract" that includes your signature and that of a supportive witness.

4.Write all your reasons for quitting on an index card and keep it near you at all times. Here are some to get you started: "My daughter, my granddaughter, my husband, my wife..." You get the idea.

5. As you're getting ready to quit, stop buying cartons of cigarettes. Instead, only buy a pack at a time, and only carry two or three with you at a time (try putting them in an Altoids tin). Eventually you'll find that when you want a smoke, you won't have any immediately available. That will slowly wean you down to fewer cigarettes.

6.Prepare a list of things to do when a craving hits. Suggestions include: take a walk, drink a glass of water, kiss your partner or child, throw the ball for the dog, wash the car, clean out a cupboard or closet, have sex, chew a piece of gum, wash your face, brush your teeth, take a nap, get a cup of coffee or tea, practice your deep breathing, light a candle. Make copies of the list and keep one with you at all times so when the craving hits, you can whip out the list and quickly do something from it.

7.When your quit date arrives, throw out anything that reminds you of smoking. That includes all smoking paraphernalia -- leftover cigarettes, matches, lighters, ashtrays, cigarette holders, even the lighter in your car.

8.Instead of a cigarette break at work, play a game of solitaire on your computer. It takes about the same time and is much more fun (although, like cigarettes, it can get addictive). If your company prohibits games like that, find another five-minute diversion: a phone call, a stroll, or eating a piece of fruit outdoors (but not where smokers congregate).

9.Switch to a cup of herbal tea whenever you usually have a cigarette. That might be at breakfast, midmorning, or after meals. The act of brewing the tea and slowly sipping it as it cools will provide the same stress relief as a hit of nicotine.

10. Switch your cigarette habit for a nut habit -- four nuts in their shell for every cigarette you want to smoke. This way, you're using your hands and your mouth, getting the same physical and oral sensations you get from smoking.

11. Carry some cinnamon-flavored toothpicks with you. Suck on one whenever a cig craving hits.

12. Make an appointment with an acupuncturist. There's some evidence that auricular acupuncture (i.e., needles in the ears) curbs cigarette cravings qui  阅读全文>>

  有筒子一直一直说,你家的菜样子还ko以,但是操作性比较不强。哦,好吧好吧。我认为自己还算si一guo好筒子,好孩子。别人一给我指出错误,我就会立马改正。
 
  今晨,雨。碰巧和老大包一起出门,介个老大包捏,他说:你不要撑伞老,和我撑一把就好了。我一听,还小感动一把。小雨下着,伞打着,被老大包搂着。。。。(他右手拿伞,左手扒着我的肩膀)
 
  还没走上楼梯,他就说:手好酸。。。原来,我今天穿的是高跟鞋,他够的手有点勉强,我不禁笑:谁叫你手举那么高。
 
  笑归笑,回家后我就把高跟鞋洗了,又拖上niao平底鞋,纠正lao错误。。。以缩短和别人之间的高度距离。。。其实那双鞋下雨才会穿,穿起来脚还会疼的。
 
  再说这道牛肉拌黄瓜,也是么的变化的变化。效果却是出奇的好。。。且操作简便。
 
  在厨房要学会变通,只要是菜与菜之间,在口味上不会有太大的冲突,稍动脑筋,一款新菜就诞生了。
 
  这道菜,牛肉不会显得太干,黄瓜又不显得单调,加上红油的滋润点缀,口感是香脆q,一会就满满当当的在口中了。如果是请客,这招是不是让黄瓜和牛肉,分别都提升了一个境界呢?
 
  生活中也是如此,改变不会让你损失什么,夫妻之间更甚。
 
  接下来解释前几日,筒子们提的问题:
1.
 
这些都是睡眼的小主意,连接着在进行中。。。

问:日本《朝日新闻》援引未具名的消息来源报道,朝鲜领导人金正日的小儿子金正云上周曾访华,并会见了胡锦涛主席等中国领导人。金正云的助手向中方表示,金正云已被指定接替其父成为朝领导人,现在劳动党内担任要职。  
  你能否证实这一报道?中方对此有何评论?
  答:我们不了解有关情况。
  问:我有几个问题。对于金正云访华一事,你刚才说你不了解有关情况。他有没有可能是与中联部官员进行了会面?朝鲜国防部长最近是否曾访华?中方对伊朗刚刚举行的大选以及因大选结果而引起的骚乱有何评论?
  答:关于你提到的第一个问题,我想再重复一遍,我们不了解有关情况。
  关于你提到的第二个问题,中朝之间有着正常的人员往来,具体的情况,请你向军方了解。
  关于伊朗局势问题,我们尊重伊朗人民的选择,希望伊朗的团结和稳定能够得到维护。
  问:最近这几天,中国外交部的声明中已经不再提六方会谈这个词,包括前几天在安理会决议通过后发表的谈话,也只强调了对话,而没有提到六方会谈。这是否可以解读为中国在朝核问题上的立场有一定的变化?有一部分韩国媒体报道称,最近有一场针对金正日的长子金正男的暗杀未遂行动
