SUPPORT:

Why is it so difficult to stop smoking?

Because tobacco addiction affects all aspects of our being physical, mental, emotional and spiritual; it becomes completely integrated into every aspect of our personality.
Our ability to function, to cope, to manage, to regulate our emotions become dependent on tobacco smoking.

That is why tobacco can be very difficult to overcome. It takes time to learn how to live in our world without vaporized medication.
Tobacco addiction has one of the highest relapse rates of any drug in widespread use among human beings. One of the reasons that it’s so difficult to stop using tobacco, is that, when we do, we immediately encounter long suppressed pain. We leave so little room for it that it doesn’t take much to reach our limit. We relapse when it becomes necessary to return to our original survival tool, tobacco. The skills to self-regulate are easy to learn and it does not take long.

Watch the following video to guide you through your Detox Strategy.

Building the Recovery Plan Withdrawal

  • We withdraw from using tobacco to manage our emotions.
  • We make a commitment to stop smoking nicotine.
  • We have many resources and strategies to handle cravings.
  • We have a managed withdrawal plan.

Managed Withdrawal

Our bodies cleanse themselves of numerous toxic chemicals delivered by tobacco smoke from cigarettes. The physical side effects can be uncomfortable for a short period of time. These can be managed by a nicotine support strategy. Not everyone experiences the same withdrawal symptoms, nor with the same intensity. Each smoker requires a specific formula to meet their personal recovery needs so as not to trigger a relapse.

Basic guideline is to feed the nicotine craving and soon it will become simply a transition plan to freedom from tobacco smoke. 

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NTR)

We have a number of NRT products available on our online store.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)

Are you a Canadian Resident?
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) programs are available to Canadian residents and vary depending on the province where you reside.

NRT is the most commonly used family of quit smoking medications. NRT reduces withdrawal feelings by giving you a small, controlled amount of nicotine but none of the other dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes. This small amount of nicotine helps satisfy your craving for nicotine and reduces the urge to smoke.
