Common Concerns About Quitting:
Will I gain weight when I quit?
Probably. Some people gain a few pounds. Other people lose
weight. The main reason some people gain weight is because they
eat more food as a substitute for smoking. You can avoid gaining
weight by watching how much you eat, staying busy and working
out. ANOTHER reason people gain weight is because smoking increases
your metabolism, with some people as high as a 7% increase,
I am not going to lie about this, so you may have to increase
your metabolism with exercise. The best way to combat this is
to use our Weight Loss CDs alongside your Quit Smoking CD
How will I feel when I quit?
You may feel irritable and cranky. You may also get angry or
upset faster, have trouble concentrating or feel hungrier than
usual. You may have headaches and cough more at first (while
your lungs are clearing out). All of these can be symptoms of
withdrawal from nicotine. Keep in mind that the worst symptoms
will be over in a few days. However, you may still have cravings
for tobacco. Those cravings have less to do with nicotine addiction
and more to do with the habit of smoking. You will notice, however,
that your cravings while on our quit smoking program pale in
comparison to "Cold Turkey" or using the patch.
Smoking and Pregnancy - Does cigarette smoke get through
to the unborn baby?
Yes, when the mother smokes, so does the baby. Smokers take
in poisons such as nicotine and carbon monoxide (the same gas
that comes out of a car's exhaust pipe). These poisons get into
the placenta, which is the tissue that connects the mother and
the baby before it is born. These poisons keep the unborn baby
from getting the food and oxygen needed to grow.
What if I Can’t Quit?
You can quit. Most people try to quit more than once before
they succeed but you have already made an important choice by
researching our quite smoking CDs.
