Smoking cessation and exercise Smoking cessation and exercise Many programs exist to help people stop smoking. I have tried several popular programs including nicotine gum, the patch, and hypnosis. All have been costly and at best temporary solutions. At the heart of the problem is the psychological withdrawal from cigarettes. The craving for a cigarette on those dull afternoons, or when you are hanging out at your favorite bistro.
Most people enjoy smoking until it becomes a health problem, and then they have to quit.
Quitting is a battle of will power verses the satisfaction of nicotine. Exercise can give you the strength to win the battle, and a new program is being developed to help people quit smoking through exercise. This article will provide a general outline of the Exercise to Quit Smoking program, and is designed to help people get started in it. Exercise provides you with a great alternative to smoking. Instead of lighting one up you can work out.
