What are Governments doing about Smoking?

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

The fact of the matter is, governments are putting in measures across the world making it far more difficult for smokers to continue the habit. These measures are thankfully, making it more difficult for people to start. Not only does the act of smoking cost so many lives and put so many people under pressure both in health and financial terms, it puts public health infrastructure and supporting systems under so much duress and stress, that it’s costing billions more and more each year to provide for these services. The Australian Government is a good case in point.

Several years ago they were one of the first governments to ban smoking in nightclubs, bars and inside venues. Not only did this have a massive effect on the environments in that they became instantaneously healthier, young people in particular started quitting at a higher rate, recognizing that the habit of smoking was becoming less and less desirable, both as an attribute as well as an attraction. It was only a few years before that smoking was seen as sexy, and attractive but this single legislative act creating the beginnings of an environment in which the tide began to turn saving many lives in the process. The Australian Government has followed up this achievement by increasing taxes on cigarettes making it even harder for those to afford to smoke that do smoke already. The rise in costs in buying cigarettes is up to $17 a packet in Australia. The high price also deters younger teens from smoking because the reality is, it’s nearly impossible for them to afford. Not only is smoking now seen as un-cool, but its also seen as highly expensive and highly disgusting.

The Australian Government has also banned smoking in such places as beaches, public stress and other public venues, further isolating current smokers and providing more of a conducive environment for them to quit. Other governments should begin to take the Australian lead and create more legislative policies that enable more people to decide to quit. Quitting smoking not only decreases the chance of illnesses and sicknesses such as cancer and the like, but it also decreases the costs to the public. These costs include paying for those that need operations due to their habit of smoking and other related expenses. If you are a current non smoker and would like to bring about change, why not write to your local representative in order to promote more governmental initiatives designed to help people quit smoking permanently.

quit-smoking-naturallyCigarettes kill millions of people all over the world these days. When I write about quitting smoking I always have a certain phrase that I like to use in order to get people’s attention about how serious the tobacco and nicotine issue really is. Well ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not, each and every eight seconds someone dies on this Earth because of cancer; and it’s smoking related cancer. In most of the cases we are talking about lung cancer. This is an issue that should be very attentively discussed, analyzed and treated without any hesitation. Waiting and delaying finding a solution for such a crucial matter could end up at the end of the day with the loss of the life of your beloved person.

Our goal here is to show you how to maintain a healthy way of life, how to eat correctly and how to be fit. Nevertheless, that is surely not possible until you give up all your addictions, that are nothing more then your own and private weak points. These issues can be treated, it is just a problem of time and people have to understand that otherwise they risk of simply dieing of cancer. No one wants to go to the other side just because of stupidity. What is really interesting is the fact that nowadays the number of people that are looking for natural solutions for smoking cessation has increased by 7% in 2009 only. At least there are people that might be interesting in our health article writing efforts.

People smoke because they are stressed. One should understand that when talking about overcoming a problem we first have to find the primordial cause that makes that thing seem a problem and at the end of the day, after establishing the correct diagnosis to make it look decent in the eyes of the patient that you’ll be dealing with. If you light approximately twenty cigarettes in twenty four hours because you feel nervous and irritated, well, you have another more complicate problem that you have to get solved first and that is the emotional one. Your nervous system is quite unstable and this is what causes that irritation, frustration and feeling of terrible anxiety that we have talked about earlier.

In order to quit smoking one needs to carefully analyze his background, all his past mental and  physical problems and to carefully find solutions to either treat them or to simply overcome them. Everything can be solved during this life. How soon we are going to reach our goal is just a matter of time. However, this matter depends directly on the ammount of effort we are dedicated to implement, invest and “give away” for establishing our goal and reaching what we have been striving to do for such a long, long time. For example, many people complain that quitting smoking is so hard that they won’t be able to do it. Well, my question is quite simple in such a case – “How many times did you try to quit?”

The main problem that we tend to confront with when analyzing typical failure cases when talking with people about natural ways to quit smoking is the lack of confidence. The majority of those individuals that accepted to take part in our study claimed that they usually give up before even starting. In such a case, how the heck do you want to get rid of your terrible, life and time killing nicotine & tobacco addiction. One thing should be clear ladies and gentlemen. You have to prepare and motivate yourself to be ready to pay the price for the freedom that you are about to reach pretty soon. We live only one life on this earth and it should be a healthy and optimistic one. Study how to quit smoking naturally and you’ll find a bunch of methods, but first you have to start believing in yourself and never underestimate your own powers.

Wishing you luck in all your quit smoking attempts!
