			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The advent of the electric cigarette has revolutionized the world of smoking. There are many advantages to using an electronic cig versus a traditional tobacco based cigarette. The first advantage is the fact that this type of cigarette is longer lasting. For chain smokers, the cost of cigarettes can be astronomical. Recently, national legislature has levied the taxes that companies must pay for tobacco products. The price increase is then passed on to the consumer by raising the price of traditional cigarettes. On average, a cartridge of solution for an electronic cig can contain the nicotine equivalent of two packs of cigarettes.</p>
<p>An electronic cig can be less addicting than a traditional cigarette. Many former smokers have used the electric cigarette as a method of quitting smoking altogether. When you order this alternative to traditional smoking, you are able to customize the levels of nicotine that are contained in the solution. Because of this fact, it is possible to slowly wean yourself from your nicotine dependency altogether. It is possible for a consumer to purchase herbal blends that do not contain nicotine at all. Many smokers find the physical act of smoking as comforting as the actual nicotine fix itself.</p>
<p><strong>One of the most popular aspects of an electronic cig is the health benefits that it offers its users.</strong></p>
<p>Tobacco based products, on average, contain over 3,900 carcinogens and toxins that are harmful to the health of smokers. These toxins are what cause cancer in the human body. However, the electric cigarette does not have these negative side effects. While these cigarettes do contain nicotine, nicotine does not cause cancer. Additionally, an electronic cig does not produce smoke. Therefore, you do not have to worry about causing harm to others through secondhand smoke. A user does not have to worry about a smoky smell clinging to their clothes or skin.</p>
<p>The safety and cleanliness of an electronic cig can also be appealing to a smoker. With an electric cigarette, there is no need for matches, lighters, ashes, or ashtrays. This virtually eliminates the possibility of cigarette burns or the accidental starting of fires. This form of smoking will also allow you to eliminate smoking from your life altogether. A user of an electronic cig can customize the concentration of nicotine that is found in the solution of their electric cigarette. Because of the ability to control your nicotine intake, it is possible for an individual to slowly wean themselves off of their nicotine dependency. The Federal Drug Administration is still investigating the effectiveness of this cigarette as an anti smoking device. However, many former smokers will attest to the fact that this device helped them to quit.</p>
<p>Another appealing aspect of an electronic cig is the fact that an individual can customize the taste of their electric cigarette. You can purchase flavor options that taste similar to traditional cigarettes or you can decide to try a more exotic flavor, such as mint or orange. It can provide a consumer with an exciting variety of options to try. The taste is only one aspect of the oral sensation that an electric cigarette can provide. Nicotine is the derivative of a traditional cigarette that a smoker craves. As stated, an electronic cig does contain nicotine without the other harmful ingredients of tobacco based products. Smokers who are looking to contain or curb their dependency upon nicotine and tobacco based cigarettes can fully enjoy the oral sensation of smoking without compromising their health.</p>
<p>On a slightly more humorous note, there is a certain hipness factor to the electronic cig. The electric cigarette was named one of the top health trends for the year 2009. Due to this honor, the awareness of, and popularity of, the product has increased considerably. If you are the only individual who is allowed to &#8220;smoke&#8221; in a bar or club, you can become the center of attention. This cigarette is not just a fad or the next wonder product. It is a valuable instrument in increasing the overall health and well being of former tobacco smokers. It may just be the ideal product for you. Educating yourself about this amazing new product will be beneficial and informative to you. The Internet is your best source for information. If you do decide to try this new product, you will also be able to compare prices among manufacturers to ensure that you receive the best deal on your investment.</p>

It really makes no difference whether you call them <strong>Worry Dolls</strong>, Trouble Dolls, Mayan Worry Dolls, or even <em>Guatemalan Worry Dolls</em>&#8230;People have always used these various awesome good luck amulets and charms for thousands of years, and in the ancient Mayan civilization they developed these really unique, magical, mystical Good Luck Amulets in the form of a handmade bag which would contain a few tiny handmade dolls! These amulets can probably help you like you wouldn&#8217;t believe! The <em>Worry Dolls</em> or <em>Trouble Dolls</em> are amazing!

<p>Investors have sometimes had huge luck with day trading, long-term investing, stock and real estate speculation, currency trading, et cetera&#8230;because of Good Luck Attracting Amulets!</p>

<p>These awesome Mayans passed on many great developments and ideas to other cultures and civilizations, and the Guatemalan people later adopted the use of the Worry Dolls! Mexican and Native American Indians have also had various types of Good Luck Bags, Dolls, et cetera. In fact, the Indian Medicine Bag has become another fabulous and popular Good Luck Amulet or Charm!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smokers hate it when someone tells them all the detrimental effects from smoking. It’s not like they don’t know; they are clearly aware of it. However, many smokers continue on their smoking habit because of various reasons such as addiction, psychological and physiological comfort. For those who smoke, here are some effective ways to quit smoking.</p>
<p>So, when’s the right time to quit? Well first of all, make a list of the pros and cons from smoking. List down the pros of smoking such as stress relieve and cons such as bad breath. When the cons overrule the pros, then you would know that it’s now the right time to quit smoking. After you decide that you’re quitting for good; make a quit date which is the day you’re going to throw away all things related to smoking.</p>
<p>For smokers, quitting is definitely hard. So you must anticipate the trials and tribulations that you will be facing when quitting. Make a list of the reasons on why quitting is hard. For example, cigarette is an addictive drug, so try nicotine replacement patches. Remember, perseverance is the key to success.</p>
<p>The hardest part a smoker faces when quitting is when the craving kicks in. You can try substituting 4 nuts with shell for each cigarette you wish to puff on. Researches found that the cracking and eating of nuts mimics the same sensation as with smoking. Other ways to quit smoking is to drink a cup of herbal tea at the time you usually smoke because the procedure of brewing tea and sipping the tea slowly gives the same feeling as when one is smoking.</p>
<p>Sometimes, you might succumb to your cravings when you’re trying to quit. That’s okay! Some people actually failed 8 times before they finally gave up smoking. Sometimes, you might feel that you can’t do it. Try and get a close person to tell you your past achievements and the hardship you faced to achieve that success to get that added confidence within you. The point here is that perseverance is the key to success.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Propylene Glycol is a compound typically found in the liquid nicotine cartridges of e-cigarettes. While it is generally considered to be safe, propylene glycol&#8217;s presence as a compound in the liquid nicotine cartridges has been somewhat controversial.</p>
<p>Used in cosmetic products, food coloring, cake mixes, sodas, and many other products, propylene glycol is generally considered safe when ingested orally. It has a very low toxicity. In other words, one would have to ingest large amounts of propylene glycol for any harm to result.</p>
<p>What is not known, however, is the safety of propylene glycol when it is inhaled. When vaporized, propylene glycol has an appearance and consistency similar to smoke, even though it is not real smoke. That is the reason why propylene glycol is contained in liquid nicotine cartridges. It emulates the smoke found in real cigarettes.</p>
<p>Because it is used extensively to make &#8220;fake smoke&#8221;, there have been many anecdotal reports that propylene glycol, when vaporized, often causes irritation to the eyes or throat. Also, there is some research that shows that propylene glycol should not be inhaled.</p>
<p>However, there is no definitive scientific evidence as of yet that shows that propylene glycol is harmful.</p>
<p>On the other hand, there is no evidence that shows propylene gylcol is completely safe either. Nor is there research that shows how safe inhaling propylene glycol is compared to inhaling real smoke, although there is a general consensus that inhaling propylene glycol is probably safer. Accordingly, more research on the health effects of propylene glycol being inhaled is currently being done. Hopefully, science will provide an answer soon.</p>

In fact, it has been observed that people who try to quit smoking by the cold turkey method make at least 4 attempts before they can successfully quit smoking. To save themselves the embarrassment of failure, many smokers do not even make an attempt to quit smoking. It is only when the harmful side effects of smoking start to surface and affects their health do they start thinking about quit smoking. These days, quit smoking is made a lot easier due to the availability of Chantix quit smoking medication. Chantix is a prescription medication that comes with its share of certain side effects. You must consult a doctor before your begin the Chantix quit smoking treatment; only putting in your best effort can help you succeed.</p>
<p><strong>Reasons to Quit Smoking</strong></p>
<p>There can be a million positive reasons to quit smoking. Foremost is the health factor. Smoking may cause life-threatening conditions that may lead to your early mortality. Discussed below are a few of the serious diseases caused as a result of smoking. While heavy smoking increases your risk of developing these diseases, quitting drastically reduces your odds of developing these diseases.</p>
<p><strong>Diseases / Conditions Caused due to Cigarette Smoking:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Heart Disease</strong></li>
<p>Smoking is the leading cause of coronary heart disease. Smoking consistently over the years increases your blood pressure, lowers stamina for exercise and increases the tendency for blood clots. Smoking is also the major cause of atherosclerosis, a condition marked by a buildup of fatty substances in the arteries. Atherosclerosis occurs when the normal lining of the arteries weaken, the walls of the arteries thicken and the deposits of fat and plaque obstruct the flow of blood through the arteries. In sufferers of coronary artery disease, the arteries that supply blood to the heart become severely narrowed, decreasing the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart, especially during times of increased activity. Additional strain on the heart may result in chest pain and other symptoms. If 1 or more of the coronary arteries are completely blocked a patient may also suffer a heart attack.</p>
<li><strong>Stroke</strong></li>
<p>Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. According to doctors, smokers as compared to non-smokers are twice as likely to suffer a heart attack and 3 times more likely to suffer a stroke. Studies show that if you continue to smoke, you increase your risk of suffering a stroke. However, if you quit early, your risk of a stroke is drastically reduced.</p>
<p>During a stroke, a problem in which the blood vessels in the brain have reduced blood flow; this precipitates a failure in brain function. A stroke affects your ability to think clearly and move in a normal manner. In case of a mild stroke, the effects resolve themselves over a short period of time. However, a severe stroke can leave you in a vegetative state or even kill you.</p>
<li><strong>Lung Cancer</strong></li>
<p>Over the past few decades there has been a tremendous increase in the number of patients suffering from lung cancer and this spurt is directly linked to cigarette smoking. According to a study, lung cancer is the chief cause of cancer deaths in both men and women and smoking is responsible for 90% of all cancer deaths. Lung cancer is responsible for more cancer deaths than colorectal cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.</p>
<p>When you smoke a huge amount of smoke gets into your lungs. The harmful chemicals contained in cigarette smoke cause tremendous damage to your lungs which ultimately leads to the development of cancer. According to statistics, when compared to a non-smoker, moderate smokers are 20 time more likely to get lung cancer while heavy smokers are 40 times more likely to get lung cancer. Treatment for lung cancer may consist of surgery to remove the affected portion of the lung, chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.</p>
<li><strong>Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)</strong></li>
<p>Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease that severely affects the lungs and your respiratory system. This condition makes breathing extremely difficult. Smoking is the most common cause of COPD and is responsible for 80% of cases. In fact this disease is hardly ever reported in people who have never smoked. As the condition progresses, severe breathing problems can require hospital care. In severe cases, COPD may lead to death from slow and progressive breathlessness.</p>
<p>The tar in cigarette smoke can be particularly damaging to the lungs. Its prolonged exposure can lead to the narrowing of the bronchioles and the destruction of the lung’s protection and filter system. In people suffering from COPD, air sacs inside the lungs lose their elasticity, the airways swell and more mucus is made. Emphysema and chronic obstructive bronchitis are included under COPD. Treatments include medications, oxygen therapy, surgery and pulmonary rehabilitation.</p>
<li><strong>Oral Cancer</strong></li>
<p>All forms of tobacco addiction increases your risk of oral cancer. Smokers are 6 times more likely to get oral cancer than are non-smokers. Sufferers of oral cancer experience sores in the mouth or on the lips that don&#8217;t heal and/or bleed easily. Other common symptoms include a white or red patch of skin in the mouth or under the tongue, a lump in the mouth, throat or tongue, a sore throat that doesn’t go away within a normal period of time and difficulty in swallowing or chewing.</p>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are a smoker, maybe you have considered switching to the e-cigarette. Switching to the e-cigarette would probably be a good idea because e-cigarettes are a better alternative than real cigarettes.</p>
<p>While e-cigarettes are not completely safe, they are most likely better than real cigarettes. Real cigarettes contain over 4,000 chemicals that known to be harmful to peoples health.</p>
<p>Because it is perceived as being safer than real cigarettes, the e-cigarette is rapidly gaining popularity. Accordingly, there are many firms which have got into the e-cigarette business to meet consumer demand. There are many good e-cigarette companies that are offering a quality product.</p>
<p>One of the newer e-cigarette companies on the market is Green Smoke. The Green Smoke e-cigarette is also rapidly gaining popularity with many e-cigarette users.</p>
<p>One of the reason that many e-cigarette users like the Green Smoke e-cigarette is because it is simple to use. While most e-cigarettes use a three piece design, the Green Smoke e-cigarette uses a simple two piece design. Changing out liquid nicotine cartridges with the Green Smoke is easy. You just screw the cartridge into the battery, and the Green Smoke e-cigarette is ready for use.</p>
<p>Like many other e-cigarette retailers, Green Smoke offers liquid nicotine cartridges in many different flavors. Flavors offered by Green Smoke include chocolate, coffee, menthol, vanilla, apple, strawberry, and regular tobacco.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let us start with a quote and think about this for a sec&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;One thousand Americans stop smoking every day &#8211; by dying.&#8221; ~Author Unknown</p>
<p>Ok, and here&#8217;s a question for you&#8230;. What do you think is the single most important thing that helps you finally <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.squidoo.com/quit-smoking-nicotine">quit smoking nicotine</a>?</p>
<p>Well, let&#8217;s kick the door right in. I think it&#8217;s will power!</p>
<p>I am convinced that anyone who is really determined to quit, will succeed. For instance my father was a very heavy smoker for 55 years in a row, smoking on average 2 packages a day. When he first started having health problems (he had his first heart attack after 53 years of smoking), he said &#8220;sure, I will quit, if that&#8217;s going to help me&#8221;.</p>
<p>That was just an answer he knew his doctors and his wife (my mom) wanted to hear at that moment. He wasn&#8217;t really convinced of the need to quit, so he started smoking again. First secretly, then back to normal. One year later, he got his second heart attack, followed by the same promises to the doctors and his family, about his smoking habit.</p>
<p>Guess what happened, he didn&#8217;t quit and got his third attack, again one year later in the winter. Things looked very bad right then for him. We all had many conversations with him about his smoking addiction, but we knew he had to be convinced from within himself. And finally, he made that promise to himself and his family that he would never touch another cigarette anymore. We could feel that it was different this time. That promise felt not as empty words anymore and he knew deep down inside, that this was probably it, his last chance&#8230;.</p>
<p>So he chose to live instead of smoking. He was finally 100% determined and nothing could stop him. And yes, he succeeded to quit smoking nicotine after 55 years of heavy smoking. I think that&#8217;s a great achievement after so many years. And when you look at it, the only thing that had changed this time, was his mindset about smoking.</p>
<p>At the time I&#8217;m writing this my dad is still alive and well. He has stopped for 12 years now, never had any serious problems with his health anymore, since the day he decided to stop smoking. Because you know what? Our body is a beautiful thing that constantly tries to heal and cure itself.</p>
<p>I know that if he could do it, after being seriously addicted to the smoking habit for 55 years, anyone could do it. But you have to be convinced for the full 100%, 99% is not enough. If you think you could use some guidance or help, then check out one of the links below.</p>
