A goal or objective is a projected state of affairs that a person or a system plans or intends to achieve a personal or
organizational desired end-point in some sort of assumed development. Many people endeavor to reach goals

To prepare to help you get rid from smoking, you will need to change your environment. You can start by getting rid of ALL signs of tobacco, cigarettes
and ashtrays in your home. This includes doing the same for your car and your work place. Check your pockets and ensure that you are not carrying
cigarettes or tobacco products.
Make sure that you ask people to get rid from smoking around you. Surround yourself more with non-smokers than people who smoke. This does not
mean you give up socializing with your friends but being with people who do not smoke during the quit period will help you.
Look at any of your previous attempts to give up smoking and ask yourself the things that best worked for you and those that didn't. Its imperative that once
you give up, you do not smoke AT ALL.
Questions to Think About
Think about the following questions before you try to stop smoking. You may want to talk about your answers with your health care provider.
Why do you want to stop? When you tried to quit last time, what helped and what did not?
What will be the most difficult situations for you after you stop smoking? How will you plan to handle those situations?
Who can help you through the tough times; will it be your family, friends or health worker? What pleasures do you get from tobacco?
What ways can you still get pleasure if you quit?
You will need to develop a positive attitude.
Tell yourself that you are actually helping yourself by giving up instead of thinking that you are depriving yourself of a cigarette.
Continuously tell yourself that you are ditching a dangerous habit that will result in a healthier and a better life.
Make a point to be proud of yourself as a non-smoker. It takes a lot of courage and will power to quit, and once you achieve it, it will certainly be something
to boast about.

If you feel the urge to smoke then read the list to remind yourself of why you have decided to give up.
Don't ask yourself too many questions about how badly you want a cigarette.

Seek Further Help to Quit Smoking
Previous studies illustrate that you have a better chance to quit smoking if you seek encouragement and help from others.

Getting further help to quit smoking will mean some of the following:
- Make your family, friends, and work colleagues aware of the fact that you are planning to quit and you need their support and encouragement.
Discourage them from smoking in your presence and ask them not to leave cigarettes or tobacco lying around where you can see them. Also ask them
not to offer you cigarettes at any account, whether you're out socializing in the pub or at your usual smoking times at work.
Ask your closer friends and family to call you to remind you that you have quit smoking.
Book an appointment with your GP. An appointment with your doctor will be essential, as it will help you monitor the positive changes that will be noticed immediately after quitting smoking. For example, if you're Diabetic or suffer from blood pressure, you will need to consult your doctor to ensure that you are prescribed the correct medication dosage as your body experiences changes as a result of giving up.
If you are pregnant or lactating then you will also need to seek your doctor's advice if you're quitting.
Obtain counseling and advice from a local help group or call a help line. Taking advice and help will considerably increase your chances of succeeding.
The more support you seek, the bigger the chances of you giving up. There are many help schemes available at your local health centers. Call your GP or
your local health department and they should be able to advise on the availability of help schemes in your area.
You motivation should be to stop at all cost regardless of the discomfort you may face. While some discomfort may be involved in giving up cigarettes,
it is insignificant compared to the pain and suffering which continuing the habit can cause.
Physical withdrawal from quitting will normally peak within three days, and totally subside within two weeks.
Diseases such as emphysema, heart disease, other circulatory conditions and cancers involve months or even years of long term suffering. These pains
are much more severe than anything encountered while quitting. The biggest difference, though, is that these diseases have the full potential of
permanently crippling or killing their victims.
Smokers are not only prone to have these major catastrophic illnesses. Due to the weakening of the body's defense mechanisms, smokers are more
frequently plagued by infectious diseases, such as colds, flu, and pneumonia. While most of these infections rarely result in permanent crippling or death,
they do result in great inconveniences and discomfort. Not only does the smoker have a greater risk of these diseases, but also when he does get one of
them, it is more severe, and painful than it would have been if he did not smoke. None of non-smoker would consider inhaling dry hot smoke into an already
burning irritated throat. However, no matter how intense the pain, the smokers will else he suffers withdrawal besides the cold. Getting help and combining
such help with Rid-tobak and your strong determination to give up cigarettes will ensure that you start a new healthy tobacco free life.

When you quit, add changes to your daily routine, such as traveling on a new route to work or drinking tea instead of coffee or having your meal at a different place. Be alert of the fact that your regular routines will trigger the urge for smoking. Typical situations that trigger an urge to smoke would be drinking tea or coffee, drinking alcohol, sitting in a bar or a pub socializing, being surrounded by friends who smoke or work colleagues and last but not least, after a meal.
Make a point to drink plenty of pure fruit Juices in the first few days. This will help you get rid of the nicotine in your body.
You will also need to drink plenty of water that will act as hydrotherapy and will help eliminate the anti-toxins against tobacco which are present in your
body. It has been observed by Doctors that one of the actions of Rid-tobak is detoxification. Although this has not yet been proven scientifically, it has
been observed that cravings for tobacco are reduced with the use of Rid-tobak immediately.
Do something to reduce your stress. Start taking more deep breaths slowly and evenly all the time to help reduce your stress.
Avoid stressful situations and if you do encounter such a situation then don't react if you don't have to, just observe your emotions at that time and try
to be watchful and also remember that you have stopped forever.
Remind yourself that a cigarette is not the solution. This will just complicate the situation
while creating another crisis, a relapse into the nicotine addiction.
Make time to have a hot bath, light exercise, or do some reading. Plan various leisure activities every day.
Tell yourself that you're a "smoke-a-holic". Taking just one puff can easily undo all the hard work that you have put in to stop and you can be on cigarettes
again as you always were with just one puff.
Consciously start saving the money that you would have spent on tobacco to regularly buy yourself something so that you get used to the habit of having
the money there. Buy yourself something weekly or monthly, or treat yourself to a holiday after a few months.
Meet friends who don't smoke.
Prepare for Relapse or Difficult Situations to quit Smoking Cigarettes
Once you quit smoking cigarettes, most relapses will occur within the first three months after you quit smoking. Don't be too discouraged if you start
smoking cigarettes again. It is not uncommon for people to try to quit smoking cigarettes a few times before they finally quit.
Below are some difficult situations you may encounter:
Weight Gain. It is common for people to experience some weight gain when they stop smoking, which is typically less than 10 pounds. You will need to eat
a healthy diet and stay active. Don't allow weight gain distract you from your main aim of stopping smoking. You can control your weight by eating healthy.
Eat a sufficient amount of fruit and vegetables and avoid going near sweets and chocolates. Celery and carrots are good short-term substitutes for cigarettes.
Complement your healthy eating with a moderate amount of exercise, suitable for your physical state.
Alcohol. Avoid drinking alcohol. Drinking alcohol will decrease your chances to help you quit smoking cigarettes.
Other Smokers. Mixing with smokers will tempt you to smoke.
Bad Mood or Depression. Dealing with emotional loss has similarities to dealing with anger in regards to quitting and its aftermath. When smokers
encounters a person or a situation that angers them, they initially feel the frustration of the moment, making them - depending on the severity of the
situation - churn inside. This effect in non-smokers or even ex-smokers is annoying to say the least. The only thing that resolves the internal conflict
for a person not in the midst of an active addiction is resolution of the situation or, in the case of a situation which doesn't lend itself to a quick resolution,
time to assimilate the frustration and in a sense move on. An active smoker though, facing the exact same stress has an additional complication which
even though they don't recognize it, this complication creates significant implications to their behavior and belief structures regarding the benefit of tobacco.
When a person encounters stress, it drops the brain's supply of nicotine, throwing the smoker into drug withdrawal. This leads to the smoker with added
anxiety, not just from the initial stress, but also from the effects of withdrawal.
Even if the stress is resolved, the smoker generally does not still feel good. The withdrawal isn't eased by the conflict resolution, but only by re-administration
of nicotine, or, riding out the withdrawal for 72 hours.
There are many ways in which you can improve your mood other than by consuming nicotine. Rid-tobak actually helps in reducing anxiety to make the
quitting process easier.
