[id 118 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: Can I do multiple programmes at the same time? A: On Quitsure, each program is set up to work on its own. So yes, you technically can do several program at the same time. However, even though they're separate, I'd really recommend focusing on just one program and do it. By doing that, you can dive deep into it and get all the benefits. Remember, each program's progress and subscription are separate. So, think about what's best for you and maybe start with the one that resonates most. How does that sound? --- [id 119 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: If I subscribe to one program, will I be able to access the other one? A: So, if you subscribe to one program, it doesn't give access to the other. They're like two different books - buying one doesn't mean you get the other. You'd need to get each program separately. Hope that makes sense! --- [id 120 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: How to restart the program ?

Will I be able to stop smoking? A: Totally get where you're coming from. Sure, smoking might seem like "just a habit", but it's a bit trickier than that. It's not just about the physical act; there's the nicotine addiction and the mental attachment to deal with. But guess what? QuitSure's got your back. We dive deep, using positive psychology and techniques to rewire the way you think about smoking. You've got this!

A: If you have doubt on your ability to be succesful in the program, then remember that almost all smokers have one thing in common- "they smoke nicotine filled cigarettes. Multiple times a day. Everyday." They all have similar thought patterns and beliefs. So you are not a "special smoker" and it is not "extra difficult" for you to quit. Based on our experience, if someone smokes 5 a day or 50 a day, it is equally easy to quit smoking using QuitSure. Quitting is hard only when you use the wrong approach.

A: This program works for chewing tobacco also. But you have to put a little extra effort of understanding things in the context of chewing tobacco. Because the language of the program is in terms of smoking. Whenever the program mentions smoking, simply relate it to chewing tobacco. For example, if the module says, "Smoke has nicotine in it", then you will have to translate for yourself, that, "Tobacco has nicotine in it". Like, if it talks about "smoke taste", think "tobacco taste". The key ideas about addiction are the same.

A: If you try to control or supress the desire to smoke, it is called "self-control" method. Self-control or willpower method has a success rate of only 4%. Inside our brains we are constantly fighting our cravings by logic and reasoning. One part of the brain lists down all the bad effects of smoking and says 'Don't smoke. The other part of the brain lists down all the good bits of smoking and says 'Smoke''. It says that smoking is enjoyable and stress reliveing. Both these parts of the brain are fighiting with each other. Self-Control simply forces the first part of the brain to win against the --- [id 148 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: After quitting, can I smoke hukkah/herbal cigarettes ? A: You should not substitute smoking with any other form of smoke even occasionally. Even non-nicotine methods of smoking should be completely avoided. After kicking cigarettes, diving into hookah or herbal smokes might feel tempting, thinking they're a "lighter" choice. But here's the scoop: Mind Games: Lighting up hookah or those herbal ones is like deja vu, back to cigarette days. This stirs up that sneaky thought, the "smoking was cool" myth.

You will look younger. --- [id 151 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: Why do I have trouble breathing after going 2 hours without smoking? A: Smoking increases carbon monoxide in the blood, making it tougher for oxygen to circulate, leading to breathing challenges. Normally, a couple of hours after your last cigarette, these levels start to drop, making it easier to breathe. But if you're experiencing the opposite, there might be other factors at play. Perhaps an underlying lung condition or even stress and anxiety can mimic those symptoms. My suggestion is that you should consult a doctor and get your lungs tested. Better safe than sorry, right? 🩺 --- [id 152 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: Why has my smoking decreased over the last few years? A: There's a ton that plays into how much you smoke. Life's rollercoaster - stress, chill times, health shifts, what you're eating - it all affects your smoking habits. Like you learned on Day 3, those deceptions (those untrue beliefs you hold about smoking) play a big role in when and why you light up. Over time, these can change. They can increase or decrese. And based on the deceptions, your triggers can increase or decrease as well. Some people also get bored or tired of smoking. So they lose interest in smoking. Plus, let's be real, anything can become old news, even smoking. --- [id 153 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: Why has my smoking increased after every relapse ?

We focus on shifting your entire pe --- [id 154 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: Why has my smoking increased while I've been following the programme? A: A small fraction of app users start smoking more during the program thinking 'I will quit in a few days anyway, so let me enjoy the last few cigarettes to the fullest'. It is similar to people binge eating before going on a diet.' This is one of the mind's tricks. It is happening because the subconscious mind is feeling that there will be absence of nicotine so let's store it by consuming extra. It is trying to compensate for the future. It is also possible that you are getting stressed after learning about the truths of smoking. And we tend to smoke more when we are stressed.

What's happening is that as the program shifts your mindset and challenges long-held beliefs about smoking, it can create a bit of internal turbulence. It's a bit like rearranging furniture in a room, things might seem chaotic for a bit, but once everything's in place, it looks and feels better. This emotional disturbance is temporary and is a sign that changes are happening inside.

A: Triggers are specific events, situations, emotions, or even environments that prompt or "trigger" a specific behavior or reaction. In the context of smoking, a trigger is any situation or feeling that initiates the urge to smoke. It's as if the brain has formed an association between the trigger and the act of smoking, prompting you to light up in response to that particular trigger. How to Identify Smoking Triggers: 1. Time-Based Triggers: These are tied to specific moments in your day.

Any suggestions? A: I totally get where you're coming from. It's like when we try something new or do things differently from our usual routine, our mind kind of rebels a bit. Just like watching a movie keeps our attention because it's engaging, mindless smoking was like an auto-pilot thing for you. But now, with mindful smoking, it's like re-learning an old habit in a new way. You know, that mindfulness video exercise could work for you. Even if you find yourself drifting off and not being 100% present, that's okay. Just aim for doing a bit better each time.

A: When you're about to chew/dip, set aside some dedicated time for it. Don't do anything else for 5 minutes. Before you start, observe how you're feeling. Is there any urge? If yes, what's it like? Next, as you place the tobacco in your mouth, be aware of the experience. From its taste, be it natural, sweetened, or flavored, to the physical sensations like increased heartbeat or a lightheaded feeling. Really ponder about what you genuinely enjoy in this process. Is it genuinely the taste? Or maybe something added to it? Spend a good 3-4 minutes on this exercise. Then, over the next 10-15 minut --- [id 182 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: My mindful smoking experience was bad. Is it supposed to be like this? A: If your mindful smoking experience was disgusting, then it is good sign for your success. I can understand that it is uncomfortable and I am sorry for that. But let's focus on the long-term success and keep our eyes on the prize. This negative experience will overwrite your false memories (deceptions) about smoking and create fresh truthful memories of smoking in your subconscious mind. So please continue smoking mindfully to the best of your abilities. If you are struggling to finish a cigarette, then smoke half and throw the rest.

A: Feeling this temptation to just drop the stick because you're finally seeing it for what it is. It's like when you've been eating something for years, then suddenly learn what's really in it and lose your appetite, right? But here's the deal, while your gut might be telling you to ditch the smokes right away, we gotta play this smart. I get that after those mindfulness exercises, smoking's lost its glam. Some folks, they feel so disgusted that they want to chuck the habit then and there. But I can't stress this enough, don't rush into it.

A: We can understand. It is ok if you don't hate smoking yet. Probably you don't hate cardboard or sand. Probably you don't hate thousands of other chemicals available in the market. So it is ok if you don't hate smoking also. Just put smoking in the category of all these useless chemicals which you don't put in your body willingly. But make sure that you have tested and removed all your smoking deceptions as per the 'mindful smoking 2' exercise of day 4. Before completing the program and lighting your final cigarette, be absolutely clear that smoking doesn't have even ONE benefit. --- [id 185 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: I like the taste of mint cigarettes. How to break this deception ? A: I can understand that it is a tricky situation. This is a trick deliberately created by tobacco companies to trick us. The truth is that if we add enough artificial flavour and taste and colour to any substance (even dried dead insect’s powder), we can be deceived to believe that it is a delicacy. It is because the added flavour masks the taste and smell of tobacco. But fortunately, we have our own brains and we can observe the truth. The truth is that tobacco is a poison and it tastes disgusting. Think of mint cigarette as tobacco + mint. So when you do mindful smoking, think of the smoke a --- [id 186 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: I like the taste of mint cigarettes. How to break this deception ? (user has already quit) A: Understanding and overcoming the false belief that you enjoy the taste of mint cigarettes is an important step in your journey to quit smoking. You're right; tobacco companies often use flavors to mask the unpleasant taste of tobacco, making it seem more appealing than it really is. Let's start by acknowledging that tobacco itself is harmful and has an unpleasant taste. When you think of a mint cigarette, remember it's just tobacco with added mint. Try to mentally separate the harsh, burning taste of tobacco from the cooling sensation of mint. This will help you see the truth behind the smoke --- [id 187 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: I like the smell of smoking. How to break this deception ? A: Totally get where you're coming from. Let me break it down: Little kids naturally find the smell of smoke off-putting. Ever noticed that? It's our body's genuine reaction. Yet, humans can adapt and even grow to like certain tastes and smells. It's weird, but true. There are folks out there who actually like eating bugs like cockroaches! So, in the same way, many smokers have just become used to and even fond of the smell of cigarette smoke. Yet, funnily enough, the same folks might not like other smoky scents, like a campfire. To get rid of this acquired sense of smell, you can do the mindfu --- [id 188 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: I enjoy the taste of smoking. How to break this deception ? A: Enjoying the taste of smoking: that's common for many smokers, as over time we get used to and even start liking what we repeatedly experience. It's like acquiring a taste for a particular food after eating it often. When you smoke, you're taking in more than just flavor. Every puff introduces around 4000 chemicals into your body. Have you ever thought about the smell? It might be worth paying attention to next time you light up.

A: It's great that you've recognized smoking as a way to escape the monotony, but let's look at it with fresh eyes. Think of smoking as a friend who's a bit of a trickster, it promises a fun break but really, it's just the same old boring activity in disguise. Imagine this: you're in the middle of a long, monotonous task and you're longing for a break. Now, instead of reaching for a cigarette, picture yourself doing something truly enjoyable and refreshing. How about chatting with a friend and sharing a laugh? Or maybe getting lost in your favorite music, feeling the rhythm lift your spirits. If --- [id 193 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: Smoking helps me to think more clearly and creatively. How to break this deception ? A: You've hit upon a common misconception about smoking, that it sharpens your clarity and creativity. Let's unravel this myth together. Imagine smoking as a crafty magician; it creates a problem and then appears to solve it. When you don't smoke, your mind becomes preoccupied, not with the task at hand, but with the thought of the next cigarette. This distraction clouds your thinking. Then, when you smoke, it feels like you're suddenly clear-headed, but in reality, you're just returning to your normal state. But if you were not addicted to smoking, you would have felt normal all the time. It's --- [id 194 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: I smoke to reward myself. Is that a deception ? How to break this deception ? A: It's absolutely natural and healthy to want to reward yourself, especially when you've done something good. Rewarding yourself can be a powerful tool in building positive habits. The real question, however, is what kind of reward you choose. Should it be something that's genuinely pleasant and beneficial, or something that's actually detrimental in disguise? You see, if you're using smoking as a reward, it implies that there's a part of you that still sees smoking as a pleasurable activity. It's essential to challenge this belief and understand the reality behind this perception. Think of smo --- [id 195 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: Smoking helps me with constipation. How to break this deception ? A: It's a common misconception that smoking aids in relieving constipation, but let's delve into what's really happening. Smoking, rather than helping, can actually disrupt your digestive system. It increases bacterial infections and acidity in your intestines and bowels, which can lead to damage. One symptom of this damage is Diarrhea. So, what might seem like relief is actually a sign of harm being done to your gut.

How to break this deception ? A: It's not uncommon to hear that smoking seems to settle the stomach after a meal, but let's unpack this belief with what science tells us. The truth is, there's no scientific evidence supporting the idea that smoking actually helps in settling the stomach. Some people might feel that way, but it's important to understand what's really happening in your body. After a meal, your digestive system is more active, and it's during this time that nicotine is absorbed more intensely. This heightened absorption doesn't aid digestion; instead, it increases the negative impacts of smoking.

A few of the clients may feel some withdrawal symptoms. This is because sometimes the body's different processes (such as digestion, sleep, mood etc.) become dependent on nicotine and other chemicals in the smoke. When you stop smoking, these processes might get disturbed and take some time to adjust to the new “nicotine free” chemical environment inside the body. So, you can feel any withdrawal symptom. Nicotine has caused these issues. So don't think that quitting smoking has caused these issues. Most of these withdrawal symptoms should disappear in 3-14 days.

Here's what you can do to navigate through this phase more comfortably: 1. **Understand Nicotine Withdrawal**: Mood disturbances are often a part of nicotine withdrawal. As you stop smoking, your body begins to adjust to the absence of nicotine, which can temporarily affect your mood. 2. **The Healing Process**: Keep in mind that within about a week of quitting, all the nicotine receptors in your brain will become inactive.

A: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the active compound in marijuana, and nicotine, found in tobacco products, both affect the brain's dopamine pathways, but they do so in different ways and have distinct effects. 1. **Dopamine Release**: Both THC and nicotine lead to the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. This release contributes to the feelings of euphoria or a 'high' that users experience. However, the extent and nature of dopamine release, as well as the overall impact on the brain's reward system, differ between the two substances. 2. **Mechanisms of Ac --- [id 207 | current_tag:all | Final shortcut sheet] Q: I'm afraid I won't be able to quit.

For example, if you are surrounded by people who eat sand or cardboard, will you feel tempted to eat sand or cardboard? No! We don't consume these products because we don't believe that these are beneficial in any way. When you truly start believing that smoking doesn't have any benefit, then you won't feel tempted.
