Smoking has never been good for any one. Active smokers are more prone to the ill effects but passive smokers suffer the menace for no fault of theirs.

Some Government agencies have actively taken up the campaign against smoking. Buildings and other public places have been designated as no smoking zones and penalties imposed for violators.

Media, both print and electronic, has gone anti smoking by not allowing any smoking related advertisements.

But people still continue to smoke. Cause of concern is the fact that more women and children are joining the smokers group. Women who smoke during pregnancy risk congenital defects in their children. Children who begin smoking at a young age grow up to be victims of unwanted respiratory and other associated ailments.

In spite of the glamour and so claimed 'kick' associated with smoking, a number of smokers are more than willing to give up the habit. Various therapies and medications are doing their rounds in the smokers circle all claiming a high rate of success. Some have indeed helped the smokers kick the habit and not return to it.

Most smokers claim that the puff gives them the kick and this is the main reason for their continuing to smoke. Some say that smoking claims their nerves and focuses the mind. All this is highly debatable as never in the medical history has an addiction been able to focus your mind.

Drugs like Chantix and Zyban have great potential in making smokers give up smoking all together. These anti-smoking drugs fight nicotine addiction in a unique manner. They combine with nicotine receptor cells in the brain which means that when nicotine reaches the brain, there is no vacant receptor cell for it to bind to.

These drugs also release a 'pleasure' message from the brain signaling that nicotine requirements have already been fulfilled. In such a situation the smoker gradually gives up smoking.

It is recommended to fix an 'end' date when undergoing a quit smoking program. Such a resolve will help you focus on the goal and you will work within finite boundaries. Help from family and friends is useful. You can also enroll with some peer groups who are engaged in similar activity.

Smoking cessation is vital if you want a disease free life. Smoking has been associated with multiple respiratory problems and has a definite link to lung and throat cancer. It is clearly evident that smokers have a weak immune system and lack the stamina compared to a non-smoking person of the same statistics.

So, why puff your life away in smoke. Life is an addiction itself, you don't need another one to live.

Give up smoking for a better tomorrow.
