Cómo dejar de fumar Hágalo de una vez y casi sin darse cuenta

Based on the experience of the authora licensed physicianas he attempted to quit his smoking habit, this handbook takes a dual approach to achieving the goal: it both advocates the use of traditional treatments, such as nicotine patches and gum, and combines them with a holistic approach that includes meditation, relaxation, and acupuncture. More than merely a 12-step approach to quitting tobacco, however, this guide also discusses the history of tobacco and the risks it poses to health and acknowledges and addresses the physiological and psychological obstacles to overcoming nicotine addiction. Basado en la experiencia del propio autorun licenciado en medicinamientras intentaba dejar de fumar, este manual propone un metodo doble para alcanzar la meta: recomienda por un lado la desintoxicacion progresiva del cuerpo mediante tratamientos tradicionales, como los parches o el chicle de nicotina, y los combina con un enfoque holistico que incluye la meditacion, la relajacion y la acupuntura. Mas que un programa de 12 pasos, sin embargo, esta guia tambien discute la historia del tabaco y los riesgos que representa para la salud y reconoce los obstaculos fisiologicos y psicologicos para superar la adiccion a la nicotina.
