(NaturalNews) Here are 20 questions that engage smokers and help them
consider why they smoke cigarettes, just what they are really smoking,
and why they can't quit. These questions are posed to students of the
one-hour class "14AndOut," and then those answers are reflected upon
and/or corrected by the teacher and inventor of the program, who reveals
exactly how to quit in 14 days or fewer, naturally, without medications
and without hypnosis. The 20 questions invite any and all smokers to
think about the chemical knowledge associated with the addiction,
consider the most common and popular behavior rituals to change, and
finally to engage nutrition in order to "replace and replenish" a broken
down digestive, breathing, and cleansing system, so you have energy and
a positive outlook when you quit cigarettes for good.
THE TWENTY QUESTION "SMOKING" TRIVIA QUIZ
1.
CAN YOU NAME FIVE HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS IN A CIGARETTE?
Most students guess three ingredients and then they are stuck;
"Tobacco, paper, and um, um, nicotine?" Some typical guesses include
pesticide and formaldehyde. One student even guessed fiberglass once.
Little do most people know though, commercial cigarettes contain a whole
boatload of dangerous products. That's why smokers call them cancer
sticks. Cigarettes contain ammonia for super strength nicotine and
plastic (cellulose acetate) to make it burn evenly, and glass wool
(fiberglass filter), not to mention bleach and herbicide weed killer
(GMO RoundUp). These chemicals combine to give smokers a chemical
"hangover" which in turn feeds the "nic fit" (nicotine) relief for the
anxiety caused by the 4,000 plus chemicals, namely the top five listed
above. Here's a clip from the "Stop Smoking King" on YouTube: (

2.
WHY ARE CIGARETTES WHITE?
Most students have no clue as to the answer to this simple question.
Trees are brown. Paper comes from trees. Cigarettes are rolled in white,
bleached paper. You are
smoking
bleach. Smokers need detoxification help when they quit, especially to
get bleach and pesticide out of their cleansing organs, like their
kidneys, their pancreas and their liver. You cannot live without these
vital organs. Big Tobacco knows this. Nutrition is the "Yellow Brick
Road" to freedom from the commercial cigarette chemical "hangover." (

3.
BESIDES NICOTINE, WHAT MAKES CIGARETTES SO ADDICTING?
Students often say "the nicotine," but they can't really explain why.
Many smokers light up to get rid of their anxiety, but what's causing
the anxiety? Some smokers light up to get some "drive," thought boost or
a little hit of confidence, but why is their confidence lacking? The
majority of smokers just
smoke
because they are stressed out about life and how to live it, but again,
why can't they quit when things get "good?" The addiction isn't to
nicotine, it's to relief from the central nervous system overload of
heavy toxins that are trapped inside of tar, which is trapped inside
both lungs, and the vicious cycle that ensues by smoking another
"stogie."
4.
HOW DO TOBACCO LEAVES CONTAIN POISON?
Smokers
can't answer this one. Most tobacco is GMO, genetically modified in a
lab, so the bug killer and weed killer is put in the seeds, then grows
INSIDE the plant, and so tobacco can also withstand more topical
RoundUp and bug/worm killer, making commercial tobacco a pesticide bonfire of carcinogenic poison loaded up in every puff.
5.
WHY DOES IT TAKE UP TO 15 YEARS FOR A CIGARETTE FILTER TO DISINTEGRATE?
Peel apart a cigarette "butt" or filter and you will find what looks
just like fiberglass insulation. That's right, this is glass "wool," not
some sponge wrapped up tight. If it were just paper and say, cotton, it
would break up and dissolve after a few rainstorms if left outside.
These microscopic "glass" shards collect in the lungs and damage soft
tissue called epithelial. Also known as ground glass opacity, it shows
up on CT scans:

6.
WHY DO GIGARETTES BURN SO HOT, SO EVENLY AND NEVER GO OUT IN HEAVY WIND?
One student answered "the nicotine?" Actually, cellulose acetate, used
to manufacture photo film, is carefully cross weaved into the papers.
That's one reason cigarettes don't go out in the wind, and they burn
evenly, never trailing up one side. Consider also why cigarettes burn at
1700 degrees during inhale. Have you seen the movie "Inglorious
Bastards?" Photo film is highly flammable. This is an "efficient
nicotine delivery device" (ENDD is the acronym - appropriately). This
means you're smoking plastic. This is not regulated.
7.
WHAT EFFECT DO ALL OF THE CHEMICALS HAVE ON YOUR BODY?
Smoking pesticide, herbicide and insecticide, mixed with ammonia and
bleach, is definitely asking for a bad habit you can't quit without
help. Most smokers who quit cold turkey go back to smoking within six
months due to the long depressing chemical "detox," add in that they
don't know anything about nutrition, and the CDC programs don't offer
any help in this arena. Organic, more alkaline foods and water are
necessary for speedy recovery and "killing the urge" to smoke. Ask
nutritionists about mucuna and maca powders! (

8.
WHY DO THE PILLS, THE PATCH, AND NICOTINE GUM FAIL SO MANY?
Nobody knows the answer to this one in the classes. To make a long
story short, they are nothing like what a smoker is going through after
quitting, or while quitting, and they don't wean you properly. The patch
and the gum give you about 5 percent of the dose of nicotine commercial
cigarettes provide, so the whole quitting system is flawed from the
beginning. The pills can block your hormones and dopamine, leading to
feelings of suicide. People don't usually like that.
9.
WHAT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES REGULATE THE POTENCY OF NICOTINE?
Nobody regulates it. That's part of the problem. Even if they did, they
can't measure the real POTENCY of the nicotine after ammonia has been
added to "free base" the vapor ready "nic fix." Have you ever read how
many milligrams of nicotine you're getting? Take a look on the box and
the carton, there's no information.
10.
WHY DO CIGARETTE MANUFACTURERS USE AMMONIA WHEN MAKING CIGARETTES?
For a faster hit! Ammonia-treated nicotine allows the nicotine fix to
reach the heart and the brain within three SECONDS. This is why people
like "certain brands" so much. Even e-cigs can keep someone addicted to
nicotine, and sometimes MORE of it. The stimulant relieves the
smoker of the chemical hangover - the HOOK. This goes highly unregulated.
11.
IS YOUR BTREATHING PATTERN BETTER WHEN SMOKING?
People say yes and no, but the real answer is yes. About 98 percent of
smokers breathe a specific pattern when they inhale, hold, and exhale
cigarette smoke, altogether different from their typical breathing
pattern when not smoking. When people try to quit cigarettes, they quit
this "ritual" which was relaxing them, even though the chemicals were
pouring in. The breathing ritual is ignored, and this is a physical
characteristic of withdrawal, the inability to relax, especially after
meals (bad ones at that).
12.
DO YOU HAVE A HAND TO MOUTH HABIT?
Absolutely you do. The typical pack has 20 cigarettes and figure 10 to
12 puffs per cigarette. A pack-a-day smoker puts his/her hand to their
mouth, up and down, up to 250 times a day. A two-pack-a-day smoker is in
a ritual of this up to 500 times a day. This must be replaced with
water, raw nuts, superfood snacks and smoothies, organic chocolate, etc.

13.
IS SMOKING A FORM OF MEDITATION?
Some answer yes and they're absolutely right. Most smokers either
change their environment to smoke, like going outside, or they get away
from certain people, or they join certain people to talk about whatever
the nicotine rush helps them consider. Once the nicotine is replaced
with proper nutrition and pH balance of the body, meditation is easier
and can be your "best friend."
14.
WHY DO MOST SMOKERS ENJOY A CIGARETTE AFTER MEALS?
In the 1930s,
Camel
advertised that cigarettes help with digestion. They even showed
doctors recommending their favorite brand, and one ad tells you to have
one in between each course during Thanksgiving. The myth has lived and
been perpetuated for nearly a century now. It's the breathing pattern
that relaxes the smoker. Consider question 11 again here. Here's the
unbelievable advertisement! (

15.
IS THERE ANY SUCH THING AS ORGANIC TOBACCO?
Of course, but nobody has been educated about the benefits here. Forget
about the patch, the pills, the gum, and wean yourself off the strong
stuff naturally, without the chemicals. Buy organic tobacco and roll
your own.
16.
WHAT IS THE ART OF BREATHING?
Students
usually say "I don't know" to this question. Some suggest yoga or
meditation. Here's an easy "trick" that helps thousands quit. Put two
fingers together as if you have a cigarette, and inhale, as if you were
smoking, and hold for a second or two and then exhale as if you're
blowing smoke. Do this every time you would have had a cigarette, and
for as many repetitions too. Don't give up the breathing ritual!
17.
WHY DO PEOPLE OFTEN PUT ON WEIGHT AFTER THEY QUIT?
There are many answers to this one. The most popular ones are the lack
of the stimulant, depression, anxiety and general negativity, but the
answer they don't give is nutrition. Most smokers have virtually given
up on nutrition since smoking is obviously so bad for you, so when they
quit, they don't change a thing. No wonder.
18.
HOW CAN YOU LEARN TO HATE CIGARETTES IF YOU LIKE THEM NOW?
You hear it all the time from smokers, "I hate these things!" So why
don't they quit? It's because they really like the relief it gives them
from smoking all that bug killer and weed killer, but they just don't
know how to explain it. Smokers often fail to replace and replenish
behaviors they like and organic food must come into play.
19.
HOW WILL YOU DEAL WITH THE URGE AND WITH STRESS WHEN YOU QUIT?
Students have no answer for this one. Nutrition is the key, but no
smoking programs really ever mention it, much less FOCUS on it, except
for 14AndOut, which recommends considering advice from nutrition experts
and naturopathic physicians. Also, watching documentaries is great for
momentum and easy guidance. Check out "Food Matters" and "Forks over
Knives." (

20.
WHAT'S THE MAIN REASON THE PILLS DON'T WORK, BUT MAKES THINGS WORSE?
Medications like Zyban and Chantix have worked for some, but for most
it's just horrific nightmares and heightened feelings of anxiety. That's
right, the "side effect" of trying to quit with medicine is a
heightened paranoia of exactly what has people smoking cigarettes all
day in the first place. Needless worry, general depression, nervousness,
sleeplessness, loss of libido, this is nothing new to smokers. Plus you
now get a heightened risk of heart attacks! Who wants to shock that
into mass effect next? Not too many. (
