A Natural Herb to Help You to Stop Smoking

Quitting smoking is not an easy thing to do. Nicotine, a drug present in tobacco is habit forming and creates a physiological and psychological addiction. There are various over the counter medicines available to help people quit smoking. Lobelia is a good example of a natural herb used to help people who are trying to quit smoking. It is generally found in the eastern United States and Canada. Its scientific name is Lobelia Inflata. Its benefits have always been controversial. It was used by native American Indians who used to smoke the herb in their peace pipes.

Lobelia, a natural herb is similar to nicotine in composition. It contains liboline, an active alkaline ingredient. It affects the same brain receptor sites and produces effects on the central nervous system, similar to nicotine. It is a strong herb and should be taken only under medical supervision. This drug is to be taken in extremely low doses and moderate doses mayx may lead to sweating, respiratory depression, coma and even death. Lobelia should be avoided by pregnant women, children and people with heart diseases. It should not be combined either with a muscle relaxant or alcohol. It poses serious health hazards when combined with tobacco.

Certain studies claim that lobelia affects the taste buds in such a way that cigarettes smoke becomes unpalatable. Lobelia is considered helpful in clearing the mucous from the throat and respiratory lining. Apart from helping people quit smoking it also helps in to heal certain problems in the body Lobelia does not contain any toxic by-product like conventional cigarettes and hence it can be safely used.

Lobelia also helps people in quitting smoking by taking care of the attendant withdrawal symptoms. Isolobelanine, an active ingredient in lobelia acts as a respiratory relaxant and helps promote calmness and tranquility. This effect of lobelia helps people in getting rid of the habit of smoking.

The major advantage of lobelia is that unlike nicotine, it is not addictive or habit forming. Its use can be discontinued once the caring to smoke has been overcome. It is available in the form of various over the counter medicines like lobelia cigarettes, tea, gums and inhalers. Use these with caution as an over dose can be poisonous.

In 1993, US Food and Development Administration had temporarily banned the sale of products containing lobelia. The reason given was that lobelia was not effective in helping people quit smoking. However, this ban was lifted later. Later reports showed that lobelia increased the levels of dopamine (a neurotransmitter) in the blood which induces feelings of pleasure and calmness.

Although lobelia is an effective herb for those trying to quit smoking, it is advisable to use it under medical supervision only. Johns Wort is another herb that can be used to quit smoking. It is reasonably safe only when used alone as it may interfere with over the counter products like antidepressants.

Does raising the cost of cigarettes keep teens from smoking?

The answer is YES! Raising the cost of cigarettes through state taxing has been the biggest deterrent of teen smoking. According to the American Cancer Association, ‘Price may be the most effective way to prevent teens from becoming daily smokers. A joint study from the University of Illinois at Chicago and the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research matched price hikes with teen smoking rates over six years. They found that a 10% price increase would decrease the number of children who started to smoke between 3% and 10%, depending on their stage of smoking, such as experimentation, beginning daily smoking, or relatively heavy daily smoking.’

So if your state is voting on a tax increase for cigarettes, support it!

my opinion about Cultural Intelligence..

Cultural Intelligence (CI) is a theory within management and organisational psychology that understanding the impact of an individuals cultural background on their behavior for effective business, and measuring an individuals ability to engage successfully in any environment social setting, (Christopher Earley and Soon Ang, 2003).

For me, it is good for us to have cultural intelligence because we'll are know that in this world there are many more culture exist.So, we need to get know a little big about others culture. The point here is, we can communicate and doing some business easier if we know and understand about their culture. We also can prevent something that can touch their sensitivity's. By that, we can make a good relationship or partnership with them happily and peaceful.

Besides that, knowing others culture also good for us to get more knowledge about people and the distinctive between their culture and our culture. For conclusion, CI is important to us whether for survive in a variety of people and culture in social aspects or economic aspects.

THE EFFECTS OF TEENS SMOKER...!

What is the first thing that are plays in your mind when you are looking at the that picture?? Is this positive or negative values in our culture? For sure that are very negative thing,right?? Just imagine in a teens age, they are already being a smoker. It already shown that our culture values are not strong enough. WHY DO THEY SMOKE?? Are they smoke just for fun, enjoy or are they already addicted with it?? There must be a lot of social effects by smoker among them, teens.

We are known that a lot of smoker especially among teens are giving each other reward in social aspects such as companionships, conversations, and many more in social contacts. Smoking also is the first drag off a drug. The problems is when the teens smoker are addicted, they can be dangerous for anyone. The point is they are breaking the law or going something against their parents and schools is an addiction within itself. From that, there were more social problems will happen wheter in school, neigbourhood and out of it. We need to take an serious action to prevent it happen.

From the research by Christien, Arden G and Joan A. Christien (1994), has proven the fact that nicotine from cigarettes has the ability to suppress appetite for food, is used as stimulation after sex, and it is also a good way to relax and feeling of insecurities. However, it is depend on how we manage it and it is still not good enough for our life. For conclution, smoker among teens also increase the social problems in our country. Therefore, we should have a guidence to avoid teens involved in smoking.
