Minimization of number of Puffs of Tobacco Consumed
I got myself temporarily addicted to smoking organic tobacco. I wanted to understand exactly what discomfort the puffs of tobacco were soothing. I expected that such understanding would translate into ability to minimize number of puffs consumed, without incurring any discomfort due to the minimization.
Closely observing my own body when I felt a strong need to smoke a puff of tobacco, I discovered that exactly speaking, the discomfort that I sought to cure via the puff of tobacco is a tenseness in the mouth, throat, lungs, and upper-chest. This tension, results in a feeling of psychological stress in the brain, and results in deep-breathing, coughing, and stretching of the body.
Then, as smoke is held in the areas of the body afflicted by tension, tension on those areas of the body subsides, and the mental tension produced by the physical tension disappears.
The contrast between the tension experienced prior to the puff(s) of tobacco, and the lack thereof after the puff(s), gives the smoker the feeling of becoming mildly 'high'. This sense of being 'high' leads to feelings of happiness and relaxation. Whereas actually the 'high' is merely the release from tension.
The inhalation of the tobacco also results in a depressing feeling of physical fatigue which counteracts the restless feeling that is generated by way of the tension in the mouth, throat, and upper-chest.
The stress produced by being out of bed, leads to the feeling of stress in the mouth-throat upper-chest area; the stress is not experienced lying in bed, but is experienced upon getting out of bed. Being out of bed exacerbates the physical stress in the mouth throat upper-chest area, increases the mental stress caused by this physical stress, or both.
Other factors that enhance the stress smokers seek to cure via puffs of tobacco: the usual stresses, TV, PC, internet, noise, air-pollution.
By recognizing that puffs of tobacco are only helpful in mitigating stress when an uncomfortably tense feeling has developed in the mouth throat upper- chest area, one's ability to avoid unnecessary puffs of tobacco is greatly enhanced.
Many smokers do not understand when a puff of tobacco is actually going to produce relaxation and relief from stress. As a result, they consume many unnecessary puffs of tobacco. Their confusion stems from a lack of understanding regarding the root cause of the stress, and how puffs of tobacco mitigate the stress. There is a failure to comprehend the negative effects of tobacco in terms of how even a tobacco-addict feels, leading to lack of interest in the minimization of the number of puffs of tobacco consumed.
Seems anything that would relax the throat mouth upper-chest area would mitigate stress of withdrawal from tobacco.
Closely observing the action of organic tobacco in one's own body, one suspects smokers mistakenly believe the primary addictive mechanism is the brain's learned acquired thirst for nicotine. As a result, they consume puffs of tobacco when they do not need to at times when the mouth throat & upper-chest areas of the body are already relaxed.
Medical research has shown that the level of damage caused to the body is closely related to the number of cigarettes consumed per day. This despite the fact that research has shown that actual healing of the lungs commences only when tobacco smoking has completely ceased.
I estimate that by implementing the insights found in this blog-post, smokers could reduce the number of puffs they consume by 90-95% without experiencing discomfort or stress.
