Tip 4: Do eCigarettes, Nicotine Patches, Pills or Nicotine Gum Work to Stop Smoking Cigarettes?
My name is Joseph Giove. I’m a biomedical engineer and a clinical hypnotist. I’ve helped thousands of people stop smoking over the last twenty five years. I created this video series to help you become free of the habit an addiction of smoking cigarettes.
Do eCigarettes, pills like Chantix, nicotine patches, nicotine gum and other forms of nicotine replacement… do they actually work to help people to quit smoking? The short answer is “sometimes” but here is the problem and the challenge with them. If you are looking to reduce the toxicity of smoking then an nicotine replacement can be helpful in that regard, because smoking an eCigarettes obviously you are taking in fewer toxins and same goes with patches and nicotine gum.
You are taking in fewer toxins so many people will say “well it is better for you than smoking.” I like to say it is not as bad for you as smoking, this is a big difference. Many of people I see are addicted to these other nicotine replacements. In terms of helping quit smoking, the reason it is only partial effective is because the process of smoking is both a habit and an addiction.
If you are keeping the addictive substance into your brain, into your body then you are perpetuating it because the way neurologically that works is the addicted substance can trigger the habit and the habit can trigger the addiction. So to really become free you have to taper off of the nicotine and that is where the replacements can become very effective, but simultaneously you need to very deliberately change the habit, because as I mentioned they can each trigger the other.
So really the effective way is to break free of nicotine and the habit together, and that needs to be part of your decision.
