If you smoke cigarettes, or if
you live with a smoker now or have in the past, you are most likely familiar
with the "smoker's cough," but why does it happen first thing in the
morning while just getting out of bed, and how come it's not a productive
cough? When you have a chest cold or bronchial congestion from allergies,
usually you can cough up some mucus and at least breathe or feel a little
better, but for smokers, sometimes the only temporary relief that calms the
morning cough is lighting up a cigarette, especially for the menthol addicts.
Did you know that a person's breathing actually relaxes or slows down during
most of the sleep stages to about 75 percent (except for during REM sleep), and
so for a smoker, that's when the tar moves in and compresses the alveoli, those
tiny air sacs in your lungs that contract and expand... so upon waking, you
immediately need to breathe at 100 percent again, and a smoker may feel like
their chest is being compressed, as if they're choking just trying to get a
full breath. The irony is that the body is in a natural state of detoxification
in the morning, trying to filter waste, and that is why the first morning urine
is so concentrated, because the kidneys, the respiratory and the circulatory
systems have slowed down during sleep and upon waking are looking to expel
waste. Unfortunately, for smokers who light up first thing, they're doing
exactly the opposite.

The pills, the patch, nicotine
gum, hypnotherapy, and electronic cigarettes all have popular names, but most will fail the smoker who doesn't understand the one aspect they all have in
common, which reveals exactly what they are all lacking. Research reveals there
are multiple reasons why people smoke, but even more reasons why they
can't quit, and those reasons extend far beyond the nicotine addiction.
Exploring and trying out options for quitting smoking can be overwhelming and
turn out to be very expensive and frustrating. The greatest myth about
smoking is that if you break the nicotine addiction, you
can quit. But the nicotine addiction is broken in 3 to 4 days, so why is it
that 95% of smokers who quit "cold turkey" return to smoking within 6
months? On top of it all, none of the programs mentioned above properly address
the nicotine addiction in the first place, so the "weaning process"
is severely
flawed from the start, setting up the smoker for
failure.
