Health quit methods
Three Days of Natural Juices - Unless diabetic, drink plenty of natural acidic fruit juice the first three days. Cranberry is excellent. Acidic juices will not only aid in more quickly removing the alkaloid nicotine but will help stabilize blood sugars and avoid needless symptoms. Take care beyond three days as juices can be rather fattening. If diabetic, talk to our doctor about a diet rich in foods low on the glycemic index, foods converted to glucose more slowly, that will leave you feeling fuller longer.
Weight Gain - We would need to gain at least 75 extra pounds in order to equal the health risks associated with smoking one pack-a-day. Consider vegetables and fruits instead of candies, chips and pastries to help avoid weight gain. Engage in some form of moderate daily exercise if at all concerned about weight gain. Keep in mind that those quitting smoking can expect a substantial increase in overall lung function within just 90 days of quitting. It will aid in engaging in extended periods of brisk physical activity, shedding pounds, and building cardiovascular endurance. Stress
Related Anxieties – Contrary to popular thinking, smoking or chewing nicotine does not relieve stress but only nicotine’s own absence. Nicotine is an alkaloid and stress is an acid-producing event capable of quickly neutralizing the body’s nicotine reserves. It is like pouring a liquid baking soda solution on an acid-covered car battery terminal, or watching someone waste money on yard care by applying fertilizer (acid) at the exact same time as limestone (an alkaloid). We actually added the onset of early withdrawal to every stressful event. New quitters often discover an amazing sense of calm during crisis. In handling stress during this temporary period of readjustment, practice slow, deep breathing while focusing your mind on your favorite object, place or person, to the exclusion of other thoughts.
Quitting for Others - We cannot quit for others. It must be our gift to us. Quitting for a child, spouse, parent, friend, the fetus, employer or doctor creates a natural sense of self-deprivation that is likely to ultimately result in relapse. If quitting for another person, how will an addict's junkie-mind respond the first time that person disappoints us?

Quitting “You”
The real “you” never, ever
needed nicotine. You were fine
on your own. The real “you”
never experienced the artificial
highs brought on by elevated
nicotine levels or the
devastating lows that often
accompany withdrawal. We
typically functioned more
towards the center without
such violent or disturbing
neuro-chemical mood swings.
So what if you never, ever
needed to smoke, dip, chew or
suck nicotine again? What if
your mind was once again
itself, filled with a constant
sense of calmness and getting
its dopamine releases the
natural way, from great food,
big hugs, cool water, a sense of
accomplishment, friendship,
nurturing, love and intimacy? What if days, weeks or even months passed comfortably,
without once thinking about wanting to use nicotine? Would that be good thing or bad?

Value of unprocessed tobacco
The value of unprocessed tobacco production in 1999 was US$1 100 billion, over 9 times the value for 1970, an increase only partly attributable to increased production.
Comparing domestic prices with international prices, using the so-called Nominal Protection Coefficient (NPC), gives an estimate of the magnitude of market price distortion resulting from agricultural policies. During the 1970s, domestic and international price trends for unprocessed tobacco were very similar, in both direction and magnitude. However, in the first half of the 1980s, domestic prices declined while international prices were increasing slightly, tobacco producers were taxed rather than being supported. In contrast, in the 1990s, domestic prices began increasing faster than international prices indicating that protection to producers was increasing.

Smokers lawsuit against tobacco companies
The California Supreme Court ruled against the people who smoke last year, saying a federal law on tobacco products advertising and the companies’ First Amendment rights to commercial speech allowed the marketing campaigns.
The federal legislation confirms the authority of the Federal Trade Commission to control deceptive or unfair practices in cigarette advertising.
The smokers sued under a California law that bars unjust competition. The competition is alleged to be unfair in this case because competing tobacco companies that respected state law acted at a disadvantage.
Urging the Supreme Court to turn down the case, the tobacco companies said the federal legislation pre-empted any state law ban on cigarette ads if the ban was based on health and smoking.
In January, the court decided another tobacco case, where smokers in the northeastern state of Maine are suing tobacco companies for alleged deceptive advertising of «light» cigarettes.

GLAMOR FROM McCLELLAND BARCLAY
The beautiful woman who modeled for artist McClelland Barclay's glamorous Lucky Strike ad pictured below, wasn't Miss America. Atlantic City's famed beauty pageant wasn't held 1928 through 1932, but that didn't stop The American Tobacco Company from taking advantage of the popular contest. This striking advertisement was a "thank you" to American women for helping to make Lucky Strike Cigarettes the US's best selling cigarette in 1931. McClelland Barclay (1891-1943) was a popular illustrator whose paintings of handsome men and gorgeous chiffon-clothed women were often used as the covers of The Saturday Evening Post and The Country Gentleman magazines. This talented artist and naval officer died during World War Two when a Japanese torpedo sank the ship that he was aboard.
