Stopping the bad habit that is smoking is a fairly demanding task and many people try several times before they reach the desired success, which, however, may not be final. Once you get used to smoking, receptors form in the brain that signal suffering when nicotine is lacking in the blood, and their effect on a person’s overall psyche is very unpleasant. So how can you get rid of this nasty habit permanently and effectively, which not only harms your health but also annoys those around you?
How to quit smoking
When you decide to quit smoking, the lack of nicotine in the body causes reactions that trigger a desire to replenish it. This is the main principle of addiction and also a specific obstacle that prevents you from breaking the habit. In the first days this effect is very strong and the abstinent smoker feels an almost insurmountable urge to return to the habit. This need gradually eases, usually peaking on the third day after the last cigarette and then becoming steadily milder. After about a week the unpleasant feeling becomes more than bearable and you are halfway there. However, if you cannot overcome the craving for a cigarette on your own, there are several ways to support your effort, and one of them is taking more concentrated doses of stevia.
How stevia works
Stevia is an herb originating from Paraguay that is distinguished by specific properties. Besides the pleasant sweetish taste, which is used in the production of artificial sweeteners, it also acts as a means to reduce cravings for cigarettes or alcohol, as it blocks taste signals to the brain. When quitting smoking you can use it in two forms – in dehydrated form (tablets or powder) or as a solution. Whenever you feel a craving for a cigarette, take a small tablet or drop a few drops of the solution onto your tongue, the overwhelming urge will immediately subside and your effort will be rewarded by getting rid of the habits that certainly bother you.
