Quit Smoking Easily?

How do I stop smoking easily? None of the quit smoking tips that are out there state anything but the obvious. That you need to set a quit date, that you need to avoid social situations that cause temptation to smoke, that you need lots of willpower etc. I find none of that helpful or reassuring.

Here are a few methods that look promising to me as they seem to require the least effort, unlike the plethora of quit smoking tips.

First there’s acupuncture, which is great if you don’t mind needles…
Secondly, there’s Hypnosis, which just entails relaxing and listening to someone hypnotize you.
Thirdly, there’s EFT which stands for emotional freedom technique and which consists of tapping certain points on the acupuncture meridians in a certain way and includes “set up phrases”.
Fourthly there’s Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, which seems to have a very high success rate. You have to see a therapist regularly for this and it can be expensive.
And lastly, there’s NLP which is the new kid on the block as it is a relatively new therapy. NLP stands for neuro linguistic programming and claims to re-programme the brain. Apparently it is quite effective.

Ok so now I just need to choose one of the above and go for it – wish me luck!

No stents or bypasses for cardiac patients over 59?

Mick Jaguar asked:


I just heard this as the spokesman for the AARP sat silent. They are supporting the Health Plan. This will be a national disaster. Everyone grows old, and this will adversely affect everyone. Do you think this is proper?

How do you turn Winter Blues into Winter Happiness?

MissLadyAngel asked:


I love the Spring and Summer. Once Fall hits, I get a little more sad because Summer feels so far away, it gets darker at night earlier, and the temperatures drop.

Burr, it’s so freezing in the mornings and at night once the sun goes down. When it’s cold it gets hard to be motivated to do activities, such as going out for a walk or exercising.

Any suggestions on how
to get rid of Winter :(
and make it Winter :)

NOT FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS- What do you think this medical expression means?

Lou asked:


What do you think the terms ‘Heart Failure’ and ‘Congestive Cardiac Failure’ means?
I’m a Registered Nurse doing a research project on this topic, and I need to know what the general community thinks these terms mean! So please don’t Google the terms, just in your own words, please answer what you’re impression of the terms is!
Thankyou!
