Cigarette treatmentis like addiction treatment

Cigarette treatmentis  like addiction treatment

Cigarette treatment requires awareness.

Companion Somayeh explained in this article: In cigarette treatment like addiction treatment, we should work on three parts including physiology, psyche, and worldview simultaneously. People will not stop smoking unless their worldview changes.

Smoking as one of the most important health-threatening factors of society is going through a worrying trend. Factors that are responsible for killing five million people per year worldwide, have no result but wasting economical resources as well as the creation of dangerous diseases. According to the Iran Ministry of Health reports, 10 million people are smoking in Iran approximately. What is the reason that people are welcoming the enemy of their health and jeopardizing their health?

In my opinion, the lack of informing people as well as continuous education and awareness and finally some social and environmental factors contribute to the increasing trend of tobacco consumption in the country. We need awareness of three important issues of prevention, control, and treatment. In Iran, as statistics shows one person dies every ten minutes as a result of smoking cigarettes. A wide range of cancers and heart problems are the most important tobacco related diseases. Cardiovascular diseases, brain attacks, different types of cancers (stomach, blood, oral cavity, lungs, esophageal cavity, kidney, etc.) Skin diseases and preterm delivery are the most important diseases caused by smoking cigarettes. Scientists have discovered a substance in tobacco which is the main cause of diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, and so on. There are more than four thousand toxic substances in cigarette smoke, some of which are carcinogenic, and people who are living with smokers are exposed to these diseases. Cigarette casualties are enormous even more than the flood and earthquake casualties. Smokers often catch a cold because their body does not get a sufficient level of Oxygen. The body’s immunity against diseases is reduced. But why people can’t quit smoking?

Because cigarettes also do replacement operations. A substance called nicotine is going through the blood-brain barrier and induces relaxation. Nicotine’s effect remains in the body for about 20 minutes, and that’s why people tend to smoke again. The main and fundamental cause of cigarette addiction is replacement operations [through which opioid substances in the body are replaced by nicotine], and the only way to treat this addiction is to replace cigarettes with something else until its effect reduces, and at least it has to take 10 months. We are not talking about quitting addiction (temporary quit), but talking about treatment. The addiction treatment had not been discussed anywhere before Congress60 but is now being addressed in Congress60, and beside addiction treatment, Congress60 treats cigarette addiction.

In cigarette treatment like addiction treatment, we should work on three parts including physiology, psyche, and worldview simultaneously. People will not stop smoking unless their worldview changes. Anyone who wants to quit smoking must reach a high level of awareness. He won’t quit smoking unless he realizes how much smoking is harmful and he is poisoning himself by his hand. Human being has been given the Wisdom to distinguish right and wrong. If we use something wrong (prohibited), it is not God’s fault who has created human being. Satan has been created for human beings to realize in which level of ego he is, and to restrain himself and to ascend to a higher level by refinement and cultivation. The treatment process depends on a number of things, the first of which is the period of treatment which needs at least 10 months. Your body needs nicotine, and you can’t quit smoking spontaneously. The treatment process should be done gradually, and the cigarette should be replaced with nicotine gums. The jaw works by chewing the gum permanently, and this prevents obesity as well as depression. You don’t need any diet by using nicotine gums.

Now in Congress60, people must quit smoking in addition to drugs to be able to serve here. The Liberation from cigarette addiction is very important and crucial in Congress60, and the people who want to get rid of smoking should commence the process of treatment which is carried out under a guide’s supervision. This process requires three parameters: nicotine gums, appropriate dosage [of gum] as well as the right period of time [about 10 to 11 months to reconstruct the physiology].
