Stopping Smoking: ASH's 15 Tips—Action on Smoking and Health 1. Get Professional Help Ring

Stopping Smoking: ASH's 15 Tips—Action on Smoking and Health

1. Get Professional Help

Ring the helpline on Freephone 0800-169-0169 for information and advice. Pregnant women seeking help in stopping smoking can call the pregnancy Quit line on 0800-169-9169. Specialist help lines are also available in Asian languages. Your doctor, pharmacist, or health visitor should also give advice and they should tell you if there are special services for smokers in your area.

2. Prepare Mentally

You are not alone! 70% of British smokers would like to quit and about 3 million try each year. More than 11 million people in Britain have quit and are now ex-smokers. However, it can be tough and you will need lots of willpower to break the hold of nicotine--a powerful and addictive drug. An important part of this is to know what you would gain and what you would lose from stopping smoking. One ex-60-a-day smoker (Allen Cart, author of best-selling The Easy Way to Stop Smoking) says:

"There is absolutely nothing to give up... there is no genuine pleasure or crutch in smoking. It is just an illusion, like banging your head against a wall to make it pleasant when you stop."

3. Demolish Smoking Myths

Soon after smoking a cigarette the body and brain start to want more nicotine and many people begin to feel increasingly uncomfortable until they have the next cigarette. Smoking feels pleasurable, but much of the pleasure of smoking is relief of withdrawal from nicotine. There are times that many people feel distracted or unable to enjoy themselves. This is nicotine withdrawal in action. See it this way, cigarettes are not a familiar friend but more like a greedy parasite demanding constant attention.

4. Understand What to Expect

Most people find the first few days difficult and for some it can be a long struggle, but things will typically start to get better after the third or fourth day. Nicotine withdrawal may make you restless, irritable, frustrated, sleepless, or accident prone--but these things will pass and you will quickly start to feel the benefits.

5. Make a List of Reasons Why You Want to Stop Smoking

It means different things to different people, but if you know what you want from stopping, it could help you through the most difficult moments.

6. Consider the Money

Main brand cigarettes now cost ￡4.48 after the April 2003 budget. The table shows how much smoking costs at current prices.

7. Set a Date

Some people make a New Year's Day resolution, others pick their birthday, and you can join in with others on No Smoking Day the second Wednesday of every March when up to a million smokers have a go. Any day will do, but choosing a date will help mental preparation.

8. Involve Friends or Family

If you live with someone else that smokes, it will be much easier to quit if you do it together. When expecting a baby, both parents should do it together. One common mistake is not to take the effort to quit smoking seriously enough. Really putting your whole commitment behind it will help you have the right frame. of mind to face the challenge.

9. Deal with Nicotine Withdrawal

Nicotine is a powerful addictive drug and you can roughly double the chances of successfully quitting smoking by using nicotine replacement therapies such as patches, lozenges, inhalers, and/or gum. The idea is to come off nicotine gradually by using a low nicotine dose to take the edge off the cravings and have a "soft landing". Nicotine products include Nicorette, NiQuitin CQ and Nicotinell. An alternative to nicotine products is the drug Zyban which is only available on prescription. Although it is proven to be effective, as with all drugs there is a risk of side effects and

A．Y

B．N

C．NG

Passage Two “One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was

Passage Two

“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger，”says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.

By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.

In her study, participants were randomly (随机地)assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁)patches before they quit, in addition to a second form. of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.

Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.

And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they&39;d rather cut down gradually before quitting.“If you&39;re training for a marathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think,‘ Well， if I gradually reduce, it&39;s like practice，&39;”says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn&39;t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings (瘾)and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if you&39;re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,”says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that&39;s compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it，”Ferreira says.

People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.

What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother？

A.She quit smoking with her daughter’s help

B.She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly

C.She was also a researcher of tobacco and health

D.She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers

How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley's experiment？A.It is idealized

B.It is unexpected

C.It is encouraging

D.It is misleading

What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually？A.They find it even more difficult

B.They are simply unable to make it

C.They show fewer withdrawal symptoms

D.They feel much less pain in the process

What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley’s study？A.They were given physical training

B.They were looked after by physicians

C.They were encouraged by psychologists

D.They were offered nicotine replacements
