Since AWA developed “Enhanced Dynamic Imaging” (EDI) you can quit smoking quickly without the need to induce hypnotic-sleep. Counseling will be available during and after as necessary on your “Quit Smoking” endeavor, as it is possible that under a stressful situation you might slip up and light a cigarette. In spite of that you can continue to persevere in your pursuit if you review this blog often, as in so doing you will remotivate yourself whenever necessary.
When using some commercial methods: (Over the counter or on prescrip-tion.) there are safety precautions that you must keep in mind, as hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts or actions can result.
Some people had these symptoms when they began their quit smoking regime, and others developed them after several weeks of treatment, or after stopping for a while.
Notify your care giver, or Doctor if you notice agitation, hostility, depression, anxiety, panic, aggression, anger, abnormal sensations, hallucinations, paranoia, or confusion.
Some people can even have serious skin reactions which can become life-threatening. These can include rashes, swelling, redness, and peeling of the skin.
Some people can have allergic reactions, some of which can be life threa-tening and include: swelling of the face, mouth, and throat that can cause trouble breathing. If you have any of these symptoms or have a rash with peeling skin or blisters in your mouth, stop right away and get medical attention. Do not continue to use a product if you have had a serious al-lergic or skin reaction to it.
The side effects encountered with those methods may also include nausea, sleep problems, constipation, gas, vomiting, suffer from vivid, unusual, and/or strange dreams; and are advised to use caution driving or operating machinery while using those products.
Do not use more than one of those products at a time. You may need a lower dose of some products if you have kidney problems or get dialysis.
Before you start taking any “Quit Smoking Product,” tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or if you take insulin, or asthma medicines, or blood thinners. Medicines like these may work differently when you have partially quit smoking.
All AWA services are provided to you cost-free, and your queries are al-ways wellcome, no matter where you live.

Smoking Doubles Dementia Risk Decades Later. Heavy smoking during middle age can double the risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia two decades later, researchers said on Monday. Smoking already causes millions of deaths each year from cancer and heart disease.
"Our study suggests that heavy smoking in middle age increases the risk of both Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia for men and women across different race groups," Rachel Whitmer, a research scientist with Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., and colleagues wrote in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
They said smoking also causes cancer and heart diseases. The new findings show it threatens public health in late life, when people are already more likely to develop dementia.
Whitmer's team analyzed data from 21,123 members of a health plan who took part in a survey when they were in their 50s and 60s.
About 25 percent of the group, 5,367 volunteers were diagnosed with some form of dementia in the more than 20 years of follow-up, including 1,136 people who were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia, is a fatal brain disease in which people gradually lose their memories and their ability to reason and care for themselves. It affects more than 26 million people globally.
People who smoked more than two packs of cigarettes a day had a higher risk of both Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
"The increase in risk is not just for heavy smokers," Whitmer said in a telephone interview. "It's not that if you smoke less you are in the clear that is for sure."
She said compared with nonsmokers, those who smoked more than two packs a day had a 114 percent increased risk of dementia, a 157 percent increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, and a 172 percent greater risk of vascular dementia.
Whitmer said it has been difficult to study the effects of smoking on brain health because heavy smokers often die from other conditions first.
"This is the first time someone has really been able to look over the long term," Whitmer said.
"We've known for some time that smoking is bad for your health," she said. "This really adds to our understanding that the brain is also sus-ceptible.
The World Health Organization says 5 million people die every year from tobacco-related heart attacks, strokes and cancers. Another 430,000 adults die annually from breathing second-hand smoke.
A report last month said the worldwide costs of coping with dementia will reach $604 billion in 2010, more than 1 percent of global GDP output, and those costs will soar further as the number of sufferers triples by 2050.
