Quit Smoking Tips (Home) > Ways to Quit Smoking > Stop Smoking Injection Stop Smoking InjectionIf you are a heavy smoker and have already tied to quit smoking, unsuccessfully, several times, may be it is time to try something new. A stop smoking injection (or also called a stop smoking vaccine) can help you forget about cigarettes completely. Stop smoking injection is one of the most successful methods for smoking cessation. It has 70-80% success rate and this is the highest rate compared to other stop smoking methods such as nicotine replacement therapy, acupuncture, herbs or medications. Many people who have tried it have very positive feedback. Here is what Marissa, 54 says: "I have been smoking since I was 16. By the time I was going to have my first child (28) I was already considering to stop smoking. However, after a few months I gave up and started smoking again. This same process has been repeating many times up until last year when a friend of mine told me about the stop smoking injection therapy. I went to the clinic, had the shot and on the next morning I woke up as a non-smoker! Believe it or not I haven't thought about smoking since then." Too good to be true? Well, here is some information to back up Marissa's statement that will convince you that a stop smoking injection really works and may be your only choice. It is interesting to understand how the injection works. The process is quite simple. The injection contains specific substances that block the nicotine receptors in your brain. Since your brain cannot recognize nicotine anymore, the desire for nicotine disappears. Smoking is an addiction similar to any other addiction - alcohol or drugs. Smokers are addicted to nicotine - a substance found in cigarette smoke. That is why, especially for heavy smokers, once you do not need the nicotine you do not need the cigarettes. In general, one stop smoking injection should be enough to put you away from cigarettes. However, in some cases a follow up may be required. The good thing is that this kind if therapy is a medical therapy and it takes place in a clinic under the supervision of experienced doctors. They will check your condition prior to the stop smoking injection and set a second or a third shop if your condition requires it. Of course a single injection cannot fully "cure" you. This is because the problem of most smokes is not only the nicotine addiction. It is all the smoking rituals and habits that have and they miss once they decide to stop smoking. Usually you can get follow up help in the same clinic where you have had your stop smoking injection. Your doctor will review your condition after the shop and analyze your response. If necessary, he will arrange a behavior therapy. Finally, something that you may be asking yourself "How much a stop smoking injection therapy costs? The good news is that its price is very affordable. Even if you feel it is a bit high for your budget, you just think for a second: "What will I pay in 10 year to recover my ruined health?" and you will quickly see hoe cheap is this treatment. The other good news is that a stop smoking injection therapy is usually covered by many health insurances.
