Is it Ok to Dip Snuff?

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Reader: Well I occasionally dip snuff…..like once a month. If I brush good with the pick will that be fine

[name removed]

Reply,

I would never say it is a good idea to dip. That stuff is poison to your gum tissue. Probably even worse than smoking….

I know that habits are hard to give up. But I could never in good conscience say that it is ok to dip – not even once per month.

If you have braces, then it really wood be beneficial for you to use an irrigator.

Dangers of Smoking

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Smoke, regardless of what you are smoking is bad for your body. The toxins are powerful and harm the tissues of your lungs.

They can contribute to the development of some pretty serious diseases. Have you ever seen anyone on a respirator – permanently?

Have you ever seen those who have to keep canisters of oxygen nearby to make sure they can breathe?

Imagine the charred lungs of a former smoker in a gross anatomy lab – It’s real, I’ve seen it myself. The lungs were black all the way through from one side to the other. Gross. Your lungs should be pink.

Smoking stinks. You have no idea how gross it is to smell a smoker. Their clothes smell bad and they often don’t even know it.

Have you ever seen what smoke does to a white ceiling over a short period of time. That’s how it pollutes the body too.

Have you ever hacked and coughed due to the garbage that comes out of your lungs due to smoking???

Now, imagine how it would feel to not smoke any more.

Imagine saving all that money that you now waste.

Imagine living a long and healthy life and enjoy watching your children grow up or achieving the things you want in life.

Imagine being able to run a marathon at 80 years old?

Using Hypnosis Methods to Quit Smoking

Can I Use Zero Smoke if I Use a TENS Machine?

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Question: Kathy wrote:

This article says you cannot wear certain machines. I use a TENS machine at times during the day, not every day, but when my pain is bad.

It is not implanted, I use electro pads that I put on my trigger points to help ease the pain, Will Zero smoke help me or will this not help me being I use this machine, Any help will be truly appreciated.

Thanks so much – Kathy

Reply: Hi Kathy, Zero Smoke is a magnet that you wear on your ear for a short period of time daily. I do not see any problems with this as long as you don’t use your TENS machine and wear the magnet at the same time.

However, just like anything else you hear or read on this site, the information may not be correct. That is why I insist that you check with your doctor to make sure that you have the correct answer to your question before using Zero Smoke and the TENS machine.

Can You Use Zero Smoke with the Patch?

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Question:

Dan wrote:

Can you use zero smoke while wearing the patch but not smoking cigarettes? Will the method still work?

Answer:

Hi Dan, I personally don’t see any reason why you couldn’t combine the two methods. The magnets in zero smoke and their affect on the brain should not interfere with or be interfered with by the nicotine in the patch.

What I understand about zero smoke is that you can quit smoking without using the patch at all. I guess that is a personal choice and you can decide for yourself whether to use either or both methods.

I’m pretty sure that one won’t interfere with the other, but it is best to check with your doctor to be absolutely certain of that. Again, zero smoke is designed to be effective without using the patch at all but that is not to say that you couldn’t combine both methods. Maybe it will even work better that way.

Ready to Quit Smoking – Try Zero Smoke

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

Video of Zero Smoke and How it Can Help You to Quit Smoking

Ready to Break the Habit? Smoke, regardless of the source is bad for us. Want to do it the easy way?

You probably already know that smoking is a risk factor for developing gum disease as well as lung cancer, heart disease and other diseases and health problems as well.

I still remember the oxygen canister they kept readily available for my great aunt who had emphysema. It was scary to see such a device as a child and even more scary to see her using it.

I didn’t like the looks of it. I remember that plainly enough.

If you or someone you love smokes, now is the time to quit . I’m not trying to lecture you as you probably already know this needs to be done.

But how? Addictions are hard to break, aren’t they? Won’t it be painful to quit? Well, maybe there is a solution to that.

I’ve run across something interesting. Now, I’m not a smoker so I cannot tell you that I’ve tested this myself.

I haven’t tested it myself because I’m not a smoker. But, I do know from my experiences in gross anatomy lab how dangerous smoking is to the body. You know it too.

Go check this out if you or someone you love smokes. It just might be a life saver!

ZeroSmoke Method for Kicking the Habit of Smoking

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

ZeroSmoke uses biomagnets on either side of the top part of your ear to stimulate endorphins.

They don’t make it clear exactly how this works, but they claim to have an 80% success rate.

The do say that it works on stimulating endorphins – they say that somehow changes the desire to smoke.

Does it work? I can’t give you my personal story because I’m not a smoker, so I haven’t tested this product. However, I am one for experimentation. If something doe
